Done. Now marked as solved.
Many thanks to roy111, jimbo45 and Berton for the responses - unfortunately they did not help. However I came across a solution at no sound device for Linux mint |VMware Communities
This involved...
I have installed Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon (3.8.9) within VMware Workstation 14 Player (version 14.1.3 build-9474260) running on a Windows 10 host (1803 build 17134.285). Sound does not work, although...
Solved. Many thanks Bree.
I have two PC, Windows 10 Pro & Home, both on 1709 build 16299.248. On each there are four user accounts: on the Pro I am the first named, on the Home I am the third. At every log-on (whether after a...
Many thanks to fireberd, Samurai and Word Man for your responses. Mini Tool Partition Wizard did the job, and I have now merged the partitions.
Quite right, it was a clone that I had created...
I have two identical USB drives: WD-Elements-(A) & WD-Elements-(B) each having a nominal capacity of 2 TB. Some time ago, whilst experimenting with the free Macrium Reflect, I created an image of my...
I am also using version 1709 build 16299.125 and find that Epson Scan behaves exactly as before, without any need to reinstall. All of the adjustment options are available if Professional Mode is...
I also run 1709/16299.64 on Windows 10 Pro, but from Linux Mint 18 (3.0.7) I can still access documents on the Win 10 PC. For me nothing has changed following the latest update. In Windows Features I...
I had a similar problem on a Windows 10 Home PC when the update to 1709 failed three times. I then downloaded the Windows Update Troubleshooter, which made a few changes to my system. After that the...
Another contribution to this thread ... I still use Excel 2003, and it works fine for me after the 1709 update.
Many thank to both Brink & Bree for their rapid responses. Problem now solved.
I now have a follow-up question on the same subject.
The visitor account has been set up with a US keyboard (there was no option to specify otherwise at set-up), but the visitor is unable to alter...
As suggested, I have eventually found the time to do a repair install of Windows 10 Home, and now I can create a visitor/Guest account -and log in to it at last. So there was something odd in my...
I used netplwiz as suggested by Bree, and created a new visitor account with password in the Guests group. Then I attempted to log in to it, and entered the password. It was accepted, but then I was...
Agreed. W10 Home did allow me to create the account, but it wouldn't allow me to log on to it.
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not interested in the hassle. I'll just accept that this is a limitation of W10 Home.
Still no joy with this. I created a local account, but could not sign in – I was logged out immediately just as previously. Output of the net command is:
PS C:\Users\Mike> net user visitor2
User...
Hi Shawn,
But isn't option 2 only available on Windows 10 Pro, Education & Enterprise? My problem is on a Windows 10 Home PC.
Hi Shawn,
I would like to add to this thread, as I have a similar need to OldGrantonian.
I wish to add an account called "visitor" without a password on two PCs: a Windows 10 Pro desktop & a...
It sounds as if you need to edit the Grub menu in order to offer you a choice of which OS to load. See the article at How to Configure the GRUB2 Boot Loaders Settings which gives a full explanation....
Hi tahuya,
It doesn’t really matter whether Device Manager shows the scanner under Imaging devices or Other devices, so long as it is shown (bear in mind that it will not be seen by Device Manager...
Hi Tahuya,
I also have the latest Windows 10 update, version 1703 build 15063.413 (on a Pro 64 bit machine). The upgrade disabled my old Epson 1200 scanner, as usual, but I found that the...
DavidY It is only an OEM version of Windows that is tied to the specific hardware with which it was sold, irrespective of whether the upgrade to Windows 10 has been taken. A retail version of...
