Running powershell as Administrator or running the ISE as Administrator (which shows Admin at top of one of the two images) isn't returning what I am expecting for looking at tasks scheduled. What's up with the output in the images? I was running Windows 7 Home Premium and updated to Windows 10 end of July/early August. I have another thread on an issue that I haven't been able to resolve and was hoping maybe using Powershell would locate that issue (monitor turning on by itself after physically being turned off via power button at ~3am daily (probably 2:5x timeframe but it happens daily).
Many of the Universal Apps cannot be uninstalled because the button is inactive (grayed out). This might be 'by design' for the Technical Preview since Microsoft wants users to test the Apps.
The preferred method is to use the uninstall button when it is active. The list below provides a way to uninstall an App when the button is NOT active.
Launch an elevated PowerShell (Right click - Run as Administrator ...)
Copy the command for the App you want to remove from the list below and paste it into the PowerShell window
Example:
To remove the Calculator App, copy the entire line under the App name
So my mail app was not opening links. So I looked up how to reinstall the mail app. Got to this: [URL]....
I uninstalled the apps, then ran the powershell command: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"} to reinstall the mail app.
A bunch of red errors appeared in the prompt and now my start menu, notifications, onedrive,... won't work.
In the past I have had to go around to each computer and set the default programs. Is there a way to create a batch file to set default programs silently for each user that signs on? Like we would like to have Adobe Reader DC, Internet Explorer, and VLC player be the default programs.
I would like to automatize cleaning the Windows 10's start menu from all these default pinned apps that I'm not using. I don't want to remove apps, only unpin from from start.
I tried to google, but didn't find any. There seems to be no command to pin and unpin apps in start menu. Any alternative methods? The information about the configuration of start menu must be stored somewhere....
I am trying to write a script to detect all docking stations and monitors attached to those docking station for Lenovo Thinkpad t540p laptops on a domain network. Most of the monitors are Asus. Is this even possible? Running powershell from DEV WIN 10
* I was having problems with the calendar app, hence I tried removing it * I stumbled upon PowerShell and removed the app (along with mail) * I can't open Windows store afterwards * I tried following some restore fixes online, but to no avail * I downgraded to Windows 8.1 in hopes to undo my mistake * After reverting to 8.1, the calendar, mail, people, viber, and fresh paint app don't function anymore. * I am re-downloading Windows 10 to see if it could miraculously make things right again * If it does not change, my last resort would be to reset my PC. Hence the title of this post
So after rebuilding my desktop, I boot everything up and do all the right things(drivers updated and whatnot). Before I do this though I make sure all of my USB plugins are in the exact same place they were in on the old machine(This probably doesn't mean anything but Im neurotic). I go to access my external and I can't find it! I go into the bios and it recognizes that there is a HD attached but no drive letter or anything. I try disk manager but all i see is my 2 tb on an empty letter area.
Yesterday I inserted a CD to install driver for my new headset. The CD-R open, close normally and I also heard the CD spinning. But not thing happened in my laptop at all. I checked This PC: no CD drive (before upgraded to win 10, I had installed win 8.1 and the CD dive was drive F). In Device Manager, there's no CD/DVD ROM section, even i had checked Show hidden device in View tab.I tryed every methods found online, but not fixed. Here's the details:
1. Try ALL METHODS in this link: [FIX] Optical Drives (CD/DVD) Icon Not Showing in My Computer Window - AskVG -> nothing 2. Try to uninstall Channel 0 and 1 under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller. But as you can see in the picture above: there are no Channels under IDE...Controller. Tryed to uninstall Intel(R) 8 Series...Controller and rebooted, nothing happen 3. Try to update drivers using IOBit Drivers Booster PRO but all drivers are up-to-date.
I got a 128GB Flash Drive which I proceeded to install a portable, bootable Fedora install on. Of course, naturally, since Fedora is light weight, I had all sorts of other room left over. However, when I plug the USB drive back into the main Desktop, it no longer asks me what I want to do with the USB drive, even with AutoPlay stuff disabled. It's as if the USB Drive doesn't exist.
However, I checked quickly on one of my laptops that has never seen the drive and the AutoPlay on that device immediately popped in. When I selected "view files and folders", voila, I could see the Flash Drive with a folder for the Fedora install and plenty of other open space.How can I force my computer to see this Flash Drive all over again? it's doing the same thing with the storage on my fiance's iPhone. since I can't see her phone anymore when I plug it in (even iTunes doesn't see it).
Error message says module not installed. After upgrading i was supposed to receive KB3051704 update to correct this problem. Is that what's wrong or something else. I need to be able to use the dvd drive. I never received the update.
I have installed Win 10 with some problems but most of it is settling down now. I noticed that my FreeAgent desktop external drive is not recognized by the system. My original 2008 was replaced in 2012 with model ST305004FDAIEI-RK. I don't find this model# on the Win10 compatibility list but there are some very similar. I downloaded the Seagate software but when I run the program it tells me that no external drive has been located. There is no device driver and I don't know how to get one.
After altering some of my account settings i now find my password is now not recognised. I know the password is correct. Unfortunately i didn't make a password recovery disc. There are no other options on the login screen i am completely locked out. Surely there must be some way of getting back in short of re-installing.
According to my computer, Windows7 is activated and is a genuine product. But when I attempt to download W10, it does not recognize the 25 digit Product Key. I don't know what to do.
I just upgraded from windows 7 64bit to Windows 10 and it will not recognise CD Drive there is nothing wrong with the CD Drive as I rolled back to Windows 7 again for a short while and it worked perfectly...
I am running windows 10 on my desktop and I have it hooked up to a TV to have two displays. I am using an HDMI splitter (2 Port HDMI Video Splitter from StarTech.com) but my Windows 10 is not recognizing the second display. The TV displays the same screen as my monitor but will not allow me to "extend" because not second screen is being recognized. What could be the issue?
I noticed recently on Teamspeak that I've got some packet loss, up to 10% at a time. This has shown itself in games as well, most notably League of Legends where my ping will be stable, yet I lose control of my character for up to five seconds at a time. I tried doing a test on pingtest.net but it says that Java doesn't seem to be installed on my browser, why? I've un-installed and re-installed Java but it still says this message: "Pingtest.net requires Java for packet loss testing, but it does not appear to be installed in your browser. Click here for assistance."
I recently upgraded to windows 10 with a fresh install and any device that I plug into my USB 3.0 ports do no get recognized and do not turn on. I have a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev4.0 motherboard.
I have a pre-built laptop with official W7 on it. The HD had a failure last year and since I was too busy to take care of it I gave it to a friend who just cloned it. Result, now Windows is not recognized as legit and no system feature works (including system restore, the search function, Windows updates). I still used it without problems but now I built one for myself and I'm giving the laptop to my father, and thought the best way to clean all that mess was to use the free Windows 10 upgrade to format everything and do a clean install with that.
Is there any way I can "trick" my system in thinking it's legit again so that I can get the free Windows 10 upgrade?
I installed Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 8. My Dell laptop does not see the DVD drive. I had no success getting the drive to work in Windows 8 and (maybe of course) it doesnt see it now. This seems to be a common problem I have tried numerous fixes but have not had success. What is the latest and greatest solution?
It really isn't my day. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and previously my DVD/CD Drive was working perfectly. Now, nowhere on my PC, and I mean nowhere, is my DVD/CD drive recognised as existing. There is no DVD drive showing in Device Manager or in Settings>Devices.
I have taken the side panel off my PC and all cables are properly plugged in.
