    How does Windows 10 know if an application is from a verified publisher (digital certificate with timestamps)? Does it guarantee an application hasn't been tampered with?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:12 PM PST

    I have a VM and it has Windows 10 LTSC fresh install always offline without any updates, so last update is late 2018. I downloaded an application and checked inside the Windows 10 VM and somehow Windows knows it has a digital certificate timestamped from 2020 to 2024? how does it know if it's offline and never been updated? also does this mean that the .exe i downloaded is 100% safe and not tampered with since it has a verified publisher status in windows?

    Installing Windows 95 on a Windows 2000 laptop

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:03 PM PST

    I own a 1998 Compaq 1260 laptop, it originally came with Windows 98 installed on it, but when I bought it from the son of the original owner on eBay, he told me that his father installed Windows 2000 on it around the time of release. I own this laptop for retro gaming, the main purpose of it, and also for toggling around, and I love Windows 2000, but I much prefer Windows 95. A lot of the games I own work better on Windows 95 from my recollection, some do not even work that well on Windows 2000.

    Would it be possible to install Windows 95 on this box? Would I have to buy a copy that has printed "For Compaq computers"? Is it worth doing this or should I stay with Win2K or even Windows 98?

    Trying to updgrade from 10 Home to 10 Pro. Bought the pro license, but the upgrade path won't seem to work.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:26 PM PST

    I did a fresh install and it installed home, digitally activated it and then wouldn't let me upgrade via the pro key again. Is there a seperate tool for this?

    Really confusing question about windows (re)activation.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:47 PM PST

    Really confusing question about windows (re)activation.

    (I'm really sorry about any mistakes, English isn't my main language)

    So, this is what's happening

    I currently have a hard drive as my everything drive and I'm planning to buy an SSD just for windows, by doing that I would have to reinstall windows on the new drive but here is where things get confusing, before I bought this computer (last month) I had an old laptop that for some reason wasn't activated with its original OEM license, I thought that was weird but had the idea of using that key on my new computer (that didn't come with a license) and it worked! Currently my computer is activated with an OEM license

    https://preview.redd.it/aon63yo6tzd61.png?width=353&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3fedf49e40a69f401ed27db3d726c024ab8b0c3

    Now, the guy that installed windows on my computer decided to install it in CSM mode, so windows detects the BIOS mode as legacy

    https://preview.redd.it/ja7foljytzd61.png?width=1034&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d1cc2fe7b357430ee4ecfaabedc79041b771082

    And as far as I'm aware OEM keys link to your motherboard through UEFI (don't quote me on that, it's probably incorrect), does that mean that if I reinstall windows on an SSD using the correct bios configuration I won't be able to reactivate using the same key?

    P.S. I'm really sorry if it's too confusing, I'm not good at explaining things

    P.P.S. running wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey gives no result

    yes, the name of my user is user

    Spotify via Xbox Game Bar makes Windows think Windows key is held

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:35 PM PST

    When using the Xbox Game Bar (while playing a game), sometimes after closing the overlay, Windows will think the Windows key is still being held. Closing the overlay via Win+G or Esc seems to make no difference. The problem seems to show up much more often when using Spotify via Xbox Game Bar.

    The Game Bar works quite well when just using for voice chat. Playing Black Ops with my console friends, I never notice this problem. Constantly opening and closing the overlay to adjust audio levels or see performance doesn't cause any glitches.

    But, when I am playing alone I like to use Spotify through the Game Bar, mostly because it is easy to adjust audio levels on the fly. However, maybe every 2 out of 5 times I close the Game Bar, the Windows key gets "stuck". This is very frustrating while playing a game with a gamepad. I will close the overlay, and play with the controller for a couple of minutes. Then, when I want to use the keyboard, Windows acts as if every key I press is a Win+Shortcut. It's frustrating when I try to chat in the lobby and out of nowhere I open Cortana, the file explorer, or sometimes lock my PC while the game is still going on (lol).

    Is this a known problem? While I suspect this is linked to using Spotify with the GameBar, I'm not positive. This is just when I can recall it happening as this is mostly the only time I use it. I thought I might get more traction here than any Microsoft subreddit.

    Why can't I search for the Recycle Bin in the Start Menu?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 06:38 PM PST

    5cKuQzk.png (1037×1020) (imgur.com)

    Googling this is a mixed bag. I couldn't find any historic posts or search results that have the same issue, and other posts just mentioned that what I've done in the screenshot above should give me the result I'm after. It doesn't on my machine, and my colleagues' Windows machines have the same issue.

    To be clear, I have no problem with accessing the Recycle Bin using any one of the many other methods. Every app on my machine and my colleague's machines are searchable in the Start Menu Search, except Recycle Bin. There doesn't appear to be a way to make it searchable without third party software, which isn't practical to deploy to our fleet of Windows machines.

    Part of my job is migrating Mac users to our required platforms on Windows, and showing them how to access their apps is a part of that. It's a lot easier for them to understand, "search for your app from the start menu", than it is to understand "search for your app from the start menu, except for in X or Y cases, then you can find it a number of other ways, but not this way". I can't find a reason for this critical feature of the OS to be obfuscated in this way.

    What are you windows scripts?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:01 PM PST

    I use to use a lot of autohotkey scripts when I was on windows. I switched to linux and back again. Now I have a number of scripts. What do you guys use? Here's some I use

    Autohotkey:
    Launching browser(s) using different profiles
    Launching git-bash
    Hotkey to switch speakers<->headphones
    Hotkey to turn off my monitor
    Tooggle WASD for arrow keys

    Python:
    youtube-dl - Save tech talks, Works on non youtube sites
    gallery-dl - Save my cousins pics of their kids and my gf ig pics

    Bash:
    Script to tar.gz and upload file to my server
    Bunch of aliases from a thread I saw a few weeks ago.

    I want more. I'm missing how I could click a button and get a QR code from whatever is in my clipboard. I may write that script next

    What do you guys like/use?

    Where to store .exe files?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 05:22 PM PST

    So I'm coming from Ubuntu. It seems like a pain to download any program that isn't from the Microsoft Store because then you have to manage where you store the .exe file. What are best practices? Am I missing something?

    My Microphone picks up sound, but it doesn't go to any programs

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 04:26 PM PST

    I've had an issue for most of the day, where I can see my microphones - both USB and built-in to my laptop - are detecting sound in the Sound Settings, but the sound isn't going to any applications that use it - not Discord, not OBS, nothing. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    System folders weirdness question

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:54 PM PST

    So let's say I've got my Windows PC set up. I've got my system folders like C:\Users and C:\ProgramData, for example.

    If I plug in an external drive that was formerly a system drive and try to copy its Users and ProgramData folders to my system drive, it gets really weird. I deleted one once from C:\Users\username\Desktop\Users and it deleted my users folder at C:\Users and blew up.

    Why does it do this? What am I missing?

    trace an arbitrary application on windows?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:29 PM PST

    Hi,

    I want to develop a CLI application where I can track a given application as a parameter. i.e:

    track foo -a

    track: is the program that I want to develop

    foo: is the program that has to be tracked. This can any program such a compiler or any other tool

    -a: is the argument for foo . If foo creates a new child process they have to tracked as well.

    This tool will work on Windows. So where should I start? any idea or any suggestion?

    thank you

I have tried running commands such as /register and /unregister in an elevated cmd, but i get error 5(access denied). I am running Windows 10 Education.

    Can you use Windows Server 2008 to play Valorant?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST

    Hi, hope you are having a great afternoon, I really dislike Windows 10 if I'm honest (I don't mean to insult anyone) the only reason I still have it is because I play Valorant. Is it possible to run the game on Windows Server 2008?

    Thank you a lot for answering, and please don't get offended.

    If I let someone login with their account on my laptop would they get all my stuff like bookmarks etc?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:39 AM PST

    I don't know if the tittle makes much sense but my cousin wants to stream xbox games on my laptop but I don't really want to share my bookmarks and edge history since there is some work sensitive information on there and I might get in trouble if it gets leaked. I don't have a Microsoft account on my laptop because of the same reason. If I log in would my computer think this is my account and migrate everything over to it?
