    Microphone to text Universal Program Solution needed (W10)

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 05:18 PM PST

    This Would be absolutely huge if someone can help me. Basically I am looking for a way to add a voice to text button inside each individual app the same way you would operate on an iPhone. For example I might want to type something on scrivener but when I need to talk to speech I can press a single button. What can achieve this?

    When updating windows all I’ve been getting is a black screen

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 05:42 PM PST

    I was on my computer and I got a notification asking me to update. So I did, it started and after awhile it went to a black screen. The screens been their for almost 2 hours. I read online that some people waited days until they had to turn off their computer and then that messed up their computer. Is this normal and how much longer will it be like this? If it's not what should I do to fix the problem?

    Could use some help

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 04:05 PM PST

    So my neighbour gave me his laptop to fix. He said he was forced to do the windows 10 upgrade from 8 and during that it failed, it failed a few times from what he says. I've tried everything there is no repairing it so I will have to do a clean install. My question is about the product key from the original windows 8, I don't have it nor can I get it so what are my options?

    Need some help with starting Windows 8.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 05:17 PM PST

    (I figured Bug was the most appropriate flair)

    This is what happens when I start it up.

    https://imgur.com/a/Ljgr1

    Any one of those options requires a password, which I don't have. Attempting to sign in simply brings me to the last black screen, a dead end.

    boot up>automatic repair>repair failed>choose an option

    continue to Windows>dead end

    Troubleshoot>(any choice)>password

    TOSHIBA Maintenance Utility>erase all data

    Advanced options>(any choice)>password

    Password>forgot password>restart PC>dead end

    It's frustrating.

    Worth noting: the laptop took a bad fall last year, and stopped detecting the hard drive. I replaced it recently with an older one (with Windows 8 installed) from another laptop.

    Surface pro 2, updated and all. Won't open anything from the start menu.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 12:11 PM PST

    I'm working on a surface pro 2 that simply won't open anything from the start menu. It's all unresponsive. I can't access settings or anything, even the browser is unresponsive from the start menu. I updated windows 10, and still nothing. I had to install Firefox through a usb since internet explorer would not open up either. I really don't know what could be wrong, i did a factory reset as well.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 09:24 AM PST

    A program of mine keeps crashing, i've reinstalled it several times and cant figure out why its malfunctioning. When it crashes it simply gives me the old "program is not responding". Is there a way to monitor the program to find any error codes, or a way to solve this?

    Does Windows Media Player change embeded cover arts to 200x200 or just the cover arts display in "Now Playing" mode only?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:28 AM PST

    I'm planning to adopt WMP as a long term music manager but saw people online complaining about it automatically reduce the size of the artwork to 200x200 but it's not clear to me that whether it reduces the embeded cover arts or the cover arts in "Now Playing" or both? Can someone help me with this?

    (Speed up)How to debloat windows 10 and 7

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:33 PM PST

    Is it possible to be stuck on "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1079"?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 02:30 PM PST

    My PC has been updating for about a week now. I have deleted various folders and ran the repair tools within windows. But the PC seems to be perpetually stuck on this alleged "Feature update for windows 10 version 1079" This is a "free" update PC from windows 8. I'd hate to wipe and reinstall but, should I wait or just wipe and clean?

    My poor c: is getting the poop kicked out of it.

    Script to Manage AD Users

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:54 AM PST

    Not sure if this is the right place (maybe r/linuxquestions or r/windows10), but my boss has asked me to come up with a script solution to manage some of our AD users (preface: I work tech support at a university so 90% of the machines this script will be run on are lab-style machines access by AD users (students/faculty)).

    He wants a script that has the capability to do any/all of the following: check if a user that's logging in is the most recent user, delete some user files from C:\Users if they haven't logged on recently, map certain network drives according to which user is logged in, change certain accessibility settings based on which user is logged in.

    The main issue is that most PowerShell-based solutions to this require communication access to the Domain Controller. My boss's (and my) AD accounts don't have the authority to do this so we're looking into other PowerShell, Bash (via Windows Subsystem), or (preferably not) cmd.exe solutions that are local to the machine instead of querying the AD domain. Again this would probably only be run on machines in an established computer lab regularly used by students.

    I'm proficient in Bash and have a little experience in PowerShell. My boss said we could also look into a solution written in C# or something similar. Are there any suggestions for approaches?

    XBOX One Controller not working (Win10)

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:44 AM PST

    ​Hey there, I got a big time problem. I recently found out that my xbox one controller isn't working anymore. Well, it is working but not recognized by my computer. Everytime I plug it in it vibrates one time and then it won't do anything. If I press the xbox button it will flash for a few seconds. I even bought a new cable and tried every USB-Port but it doesn't seem to do anything. I also checked if the drivers were installed (didn't find them). It was working just fine a few hours ago. I'd be very thankful for any suggestion.

    Random sudden loss of connection to all websites sites aside from google or youtube which are only accessible on chrome

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 04:53 PM PST

    This issue resolves temporarily when I reboot my laptop, but has an irritating habit of cropping up again randomly after maybe a month or two sometimes sooner sometimes later I have no way of gauging as it seems relatively random. I tried lots of things. Only my google chrome browser is capable of reaching either google search or youtube and all other browsers cannot access anything so this is not an issue of IPv4 which I checked. There are no firewall issues that I can see on the surface. I can ping websites when I am unable to access them via browser. Flushing the DNS did nothing at all. I've also cleared the cache using Ccleaner recently before this episode as well so I'm assuming that's not the reason either. I've searched for an answer to this problem ad nauseum every time it has happened to no avail. It seems to happen at times where it is most inconvenient as well which is encouraging me to believe my laptop simply hates me.

    Reverting From Ubuntu Back To Windows

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 04:27 PM PST

    I installed ubuntu on my windows 10 pc (which was soo slow) and have been enjoying it since but need to get it back to windows as I'm passing the computer on. There is no option to run windows when I start my computer so I presume I didn't dual-boot it (idiot). Would factory resetting the pc sort it out? Or do I need to buy new windows software and simply install that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, please try and keep it simple!!

    Log Management Tools To Analyse Your Systems Log Data

    The same MAC is showing for PC and virtual Machine on said PC on the modem - is it possible to change it?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 12:06 PM PST

    Hi all,

    Today I have installed my first windows server and was trying to setup static IP. The problem arose when I was trying reserve the static IP on my modem for the MAC as it turned out my PC (vm host) has the same MAC as the VM machine. They are both showing on the network device list only have different IPs...

    If i just set the static IP on the machine it works ok, just start having trouble when I set it on modem directly for it to keep IP assigned.

     

    I went to:

    Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager.

    Right-click on virtual network Adapter and clicked Properties.

    Click NetworkAddress and set value to different MAC.

    Rebooted.

    Didn't change a thing except now I lost network access.

    Reversing change brought it back.

     

    it's possible that I missed something and why MAC would be showing same as my host PC MAC even after changing it manually in network adapter settings in device manager? Is it because it's a VM and at the end all traffic goes through my host network card?

    I am using Hyper-V and have virtual which is set up for external network.

    Sorry if it's a stupid question :) By host I mean my PC on which I installed an ran VM of course

    Windows 7 - Can't use second hard drive

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 10:03 AM PST

    I recently downgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 7. I did not re-format my second hard drive, and Windows 7 doesn't seem to be detecting it. I really don't want to lose all the data on that drive, is there anything I can do to make it work with Windows 7 without losing all the data?

    Disk Manager says that is Healthy(Primary Partition), but it also says that the drive is empty which it is not.

    I've tried everything Google has thrown at me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    [Tool] Ranking the most secure and private software tools (including BitLocker)

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 06:31 AM PST

    Dear Windows community

    As the title suggests, I made this tool that ranks the most secure and private email, backup, VPN, cryptos and communication software etc. 🙂

    It's all based on a Google Sheet, which updates the website automatically when the spreadsheet changes: https://secured.fyi/edit

    Couldn't find a good comparison overview like this, and want to see if enough people are interested in it, because I would like to spend more time on expanding the data set, and add more categories.

    I wrote a medium post here that goes more in detail on how and why it was made: https://medium.com/@fredrikaurdal/secured-fyi-ranking-the-most-secure-and-private-software-tools-how-i-created-a-powerful-ranking-1f8a37913169

    If anything is not working, suggestions for improvements, personal experience, what you love and hate is all welcome 🙂
