Basically, I wanted to hear from the community on whether or not this still makes sense in the current era.

The PC in question is just a regular Windows 10 Pro box with nothing fancy... no...

Someone else with the issue....

Got in today with VPN on. ;)

Going to wait and see for Cloudfare to block my next IP. I'll take photos so that I have proof. :chuckle:

No. That defeats the whole point of using VPNs—they're meant to "cloak" source IP and traffic from local ISP.

This problem keeps happening every time I have my VPN on and try to access this site....

I'm running Windows 10 Pro (x64) v. 2004 build 19041.572

This problem only occurred after the latest feature update... ergo updating to 2004 release.

The problem is still very random and...

Forgot to mention that the shares are actually on a secondary drive that is not the primary or system disk/volume. It is also true that there are additional shares on another disk apart from this.

Hello,

I have a situation where I was running through some tasks for a project I undertook for audit purposes.

What happened was I created a VHD on a share and this file was pretty big (25GB)....

Sorry, but the new security measure for getting onto the site is not very user friendly at all.

It's been known that Captchas, especially the ones that are "pick these out of those shown" are not...

Hi,

I'm in the need of a cheap (preferably free), low management overhead SIEM solution that can easily plug into a Windows environment. I don't really need it to be the full fledged Splunk, but...

Yep—found it. I didn't look in all the required directories... including the one literally named Windows Preinstallation Environment.

I started following this one Microsoft tutorial after making...

Didn't look hard enough apparently. Many thanks! :-)

Hello,

I'm trying to learn how to create a custom image for Windows using the Sysprep guides found on here as well as other tutorials and whatnot.

I managed to get a .WIM image output to a...

You needn't apologize. You're the only person that's bothered to post anything so far... :-)

At this point, I'm seriously considering just removing the box all together which isn't ideal...

I just got bumped to 1903 and now Microsoft has brought me closer to the breaking point. I would've kept the app mode to dark but now apparently that makes context menus dark as well.... which is...

Is this issue still not fixable?

AFAIK, the registry hacks no longer work, the BAT file work-around doesn't work, the location work-around doesn't work, and the only thing that seems to be offered...

Hello,

I'm fairly certain this is just something that happens now but just to make sure, I would like to ask:

I had something to do earlier, so I put my PC to sleep. I noticed that an update...

I'm assuming that's 'cause it's doing other stuff under the hood (translation, filtering, firewall?).

Also, I just realized that perhaps my question wasn't related to speed at all. :o
...

Hello,

I was just asked a question related to internet speed and whether or not upgrading cables in their home would impact them any. That is, the cables connecting their devices to their...

@roy111 @ignatzatsonic Try3 @dalchina

Thank you all for your input.

All of what you've mentioned has surpassed my expectations and I even learned a thing or two.

I feel it is important to...

Yep, just tested it myself. It's simple and does what I want.

The only question that remains is.... is this all a manual process or is it checking every now and then for updates? And by updates, I...

One last question:

When the setting related to occurrence is configured to a specific value, does this mean it will check at the specified time and if it find anything different/changed, will only...

I had considered File History but I understood that it did routine checks to backup files even though they hadn't been updated. I verified this after looking at the Advanced Settings for it and saw...

Hello,

I just did a quick Google search on how I could archive files to a second drive and nothing conclusive came up.

So, either I suck at Google-Fu or I'm not understanding this correctly.

You missed the point, mate. I'm not trying to get rid of the search box, I'm trying to revert it to its initial/original color scheme and or theme.

Apparently Microsoft just doesn't give two...

Is there a fix for this for those of us on version 1803? Registry tweaks don't seem possible and region toggling doesn't seem to do it anymore. Is there an official Microsoft discussion on this we...
