    Why is everyone mad at UWP apps? Windows Help

    Why is everyone mad at UWP apps? Windows Help


    Why is everyone mad at UWP apps?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 06:26 PM PDT

    With so many people declaring UWP 'dead' recently, I was wondering why the hate? The way I see it, UWP apps are more efficient, scale properly, support things like Fluent Design, and have the potential to be really well designed. I obviously get things like the Messenger app being trash, and things like that, but the UWP platform itself doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. Why does everyone want it gone?

    Windows 10 denying upgrade to 1903 due to non-compatible service (BattlEye)

    Posted: 31 May 2019 10:24 AM PDT

    When I tried to update to 1903 with the assistent, it stated that I had a service or a driver that is not compatible with the new 1903. Thanks to the Microsoft Forum I could check my system for the specific incompatibility.

    As it turns out a BattlEye service was still on my system. The last time I used BattlEye was PUBG which I deleted months ago. But apparently BattlEye was not deleted in tandem with PUBG. Furthermore the tool linked above could not find the path to BattlEye's .exe.

    But I found under the services tab in the advanced view of the Task-Manager that there was a service called BEService. And it had a path to the .exe. But only deleting the .exe didn't solve the problem, since the service itself was still there and without a game/process to start the service and let BattlEye update so that I eventually could update to 1903 I had to delete the service as well. Thanks to Sergey Tkachenko, I found a way to do so. And once done, I restarted, found the service deleted and the tool linked above did not show any more incompatibilities. Now I could properly update to 1903.

    I hope there are people out there who I could help with this.

    Batch script opening endless cmd windows

    Posted: 31 May 2019 11:46 PM PDT

    I wrote a simple batch script that creates a directory named after the year, another directory within the year named after the month, and a text file in the month named after the day, then it opens the text file it just created with notepad++. I ran this on my windows 7 machine and it worked fine.

    But when I showed my buddy, he ran it(a separate windows machine)and it created endless cmd windows on his machine and he had to give it a hard reset.

    He did have errors initially as the paths were different on his system and he doesn't have notepad++ installed. After adding his paths and changing the text editor it opens with to notepad, it ran and gave him the cmd issue.

    Before he ran it, he created a file without a name, just ".bat", then making another batch file with a name "note.bat".

    I tested my script on another machine and it worked just fine.

    Can anyone explain what I did wrong here or what could cause this?

    Here is what is in the script:

    @echo off

    md %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\%DATE:~10,4%

    md %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\%Date:~10,4%\%Date:~4,2%.%Date:10,4%

    type NUL >> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\%Date:~10,4%\%Date:~4,2%.%Date:10,4%\%Date:~4,2%-%Date:7,2%-%Date:~10,4%.txt

    start notepad %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\%Date:~10,4%\%Date:~4,2%.%Date:10,4%\%Date:~4,2%-%Date:7,2%-%Date:~10,4%.txt

    Can you simply upgrade Win7 Home Basic to Pro with the installation CD?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 10:59 PM PDT

    I installed basic because I prefer it and don't really need anything from other versions. However, I might need pro now because I want to install more RAM (hb limit is 8 I think and I couldn't find a workaround/hack). Can I simply put the installation CD in and upgrade my hb to pro, and it will leave everything on my desktop and my files all in place?

    Is there an option to set different proxy for different networks?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 10:18 PM PDT

    I am often connected to different WLANs which all have different proxy addresses to access the web. Is there any option to define a proxy for each network instead of the general proxy setting which need to be changed manually everytime i connected to one or the other WLAN?

    Windows 10 btw.

    Bypassing the Windows Logon screen!

    Posted: 31 May 2019 09:59 PM PDT

    Hi all, I'm currently working on a modified version of Windows 10 for a retrofit Xbox console.

    I was previously using Arch to get the software job done, but Windows just supports so many other games.

    With Linux, you don't have to use a Desktop Manager (Login Screen) if you don't want to. I was wondering if I could do the same thing here in Windows, by either disabling the service or deleting files, but I don't know if it's possible. It just ruins the immersion seeing the Windows logon screen every time I start the console. I have already replaced explorer with my own frontend (just the gpedit.msc option), and this is the last piece of the puzzle missing.

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    backing up and upgrading from win 7 to 10

    Posted: 31 May 2019 12:38 PM PDT

    Whats up homie boys. Hope you're all good.

    With win 7 soon running out of support I'm going to be upgrading to win 10. What I plan to do is to back up most of my stuff onto a 1tb portable hard drive and then restore once I've upgraded. I'm thinking of using this guide to install win 10 via USB. I'm going to use my product key that I used on my windows 7.

    The part that I needed help on is the backing up. I wanted to ask what you would do if you were in my position. Which files and folders would you back up on your pc and also which files and folders should I go through so I dont miss anything. The reason I ask is because I'm going to start by first backing up whats on my desktop. After that I'm not too sure what to go look through. Games and other applications I obviously wont back up. I'll just reinstall them.

    Another thing I was wondering was what would I do about game saves. Games like rainbow 6 I dont have to worry about because I'm sure that the data is saved online so I all I would have to do is reinstall and then just log back into my account. What about GTA V which has single player and multiplayer, how would I back up my progress. Same with Skyrim and the Batman Arkham games. How would I back those up.

    I'm not too keen on using online storage such as google drive as the portable hard drive is enough to put my files onto.

    Really do appreciate the help.

    Question! Is there an equivalent for macOS’ shortcut for screenshots (SHIFT + CMD + 5) on Windows 10?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 12:33 PM PDT

    Hey!

    Any idea if there's a way to do a screenshot of a specific part of the screen with a shortcut? I'm not a big fan of SnippetTool, as you cannot edit the screenshot afterwards.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    [help] Can see all files on file server from Win 7. From XP, only some files.

    Posted: 31 May 2019 12:25 PM PDT

    Basically as the title says. It's a older mac file server. From Win7, I can see all files. From XP, I only see files starting with letters below "F." I've never run into problems with this setup before, but this is happening all of a sudden. I have rebooted XP. Any guesses?

    [HELP] I got a virus, but not an option to remove it?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 03:40 PM PDT

    My Windows Defender notified me about a virus I somehow installed. This is what it read:
    Alert Level: Severe
    Status: Quarantined
    Date: (current)
    Category: Trojan
    Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker

    Pressing the actions button in my Windows Defender only gives me the option ''Allow''. What do I do?

    Windows 10- Network drive folders not showing some of the time

    Posted: 31 May 2019 11:54 AM PDT

    Quick recap: bosses computer is a Surface pro 4. We have a Synology NAS server with all our data connected to a wifi router. server is mapped to the F drives on each computer. Most of our computers are hard wired, and have no problems. The Surface accesses server through wifi. In the last few months, occasionally when he opens the f-drive, only one of the 3 subfolders are showing. Clicking inside that folder, only a few, or sometimes only one of the 10+ subfolders are showing. In the past, if he closed the window and opened it again to the f-drive, everything would be there. But today, he had the same issue consecutively, and when it finally did work properly, and after going through a few folders, more folders disappeared and going up a folder they stayed disappeared.

    I can't think of what the issue could be except maybe network related. Any ideas? Could it be something to do with windows?

    Why is Microsoft over simplifying the user experience?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 02:44 PM PDT

    Are they trying to dumb down users? First it was their intention to remove the control panel which has existed since the second version of Windows and replace it with an apple like "settings" app and they started referring to computer programs as apps in 2012 when windows 8 came out. They also want to make windows a "service". This means slowly chipping away at what made windows great. When windows 8 came out, they went all out on this over simplification approach with the metro style apps and no start button. This led to Massive user backlash and they added a start button in windows 8.1 but no start menu. Windows 10 comes out and to their credit, they bring back the start menu but windows still does not look like it did in the glory days. People wonder why us tech savy users enjoy windows 7. Because it's not over simplified garbage. Microsoft, you can do better.

    How do i stop a service where the stop button is greyed out?

    Posted: 31 May 2019 01:27 PM PDT

    So just for context, im an artist that does digital art, and i also use discord, whenever i go open discord on my tablet it opens this onscreen virtual keyboard, this breaks discord. I want to turn it off and did some googling, i found out that theres this service called "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" thats responsible for it, but i cannot turn it off.

    I even went into the command prompt and typed "sc queryex TabletInputService" and found its PID which is 9192, and typed "taskkill /F /PID 9192. But it tells me that it cannot be terminated because access is denied.

    Is there a way to get around this?
