@Ghot Paul Black - No luck with creating the registry entries in both locations.

I'm giving up for now. But thanks for trying to assist. ;)

Paul Black / Ghot - The full registry string I tried adding a path to the .exe file was:

"\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", where this lists other...

Paul Black - I can confirm that the batch file loaded in the startup folder has not launched the service.



Paul Black - The registry string was something I found on an online forum post that...

Samurai - Thanks for the suggestion, but how does this recommendaiton work with an already existing service? Because the service is already listed in the services list, it just refuses to start when...

Ghot - I can confirm that when the service is set to "Automatic" and I create a startup shortcut following those steps, then it do not startup by itself.

I just restarted my computer now with the...

Ghot - Will give this method of creating the startup shortcut a try and will get back with results (if any).



Paul Black - See attached a screenshot of the service referred to, which points...

Hi,

I'm on Windows 10 21H2 (64-bit) and I've just updated one of my installed software programs which should launch a local network licence service each time the computer starts / restarts.

The...

Pluginz - I do have "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper" which is set to "Manual".

In network adapter settings I have both Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder & Mapper I/O Driver are both...

Samurai - Thanks for the response. So in essence what you're saying is remove and recreate all mapped network drives, but rather than use the server name (e.g. \\DINGDONG\\Work) I should rather use...

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (64-bit), installed on an MSI Laptop which I use between home and work.

At home, my laptop is always on WiFi and I have no issues there.

At work, I connected the...

dalchina - That (removing the device) unfortunately doesn't work, because in my very unpleasant diving into the Chrome settings, I found a place that lists all my devices, and I happily am able to...

I have an annoying issue.

After a recent fresh WindowsOS install on my laptop, I hadn't renamed the default name the OS created on the laptop (which I have now done). However, because Chrome was...

I'm assuming that the hardware defaulted back to AFP because of how it was initially set up.

I do recall that changing to SMB happened soon after we bought the Synology NAS, as there were various...

So here's an update. Since we're running a Synology NAS with both MacOS and WindowsOS users, the previous server file-sharing setting was using SMB, which allowed for the "file locked" notification...

Correct. As stated, this has never ever been an issue before with the same setup the office is running. So it's all rather strange that it started out of the blue.

We'd initially thought it was...

Personally, I can't say if there's been a NAS software update recently, however, this behaviour is definitely new.

All the machines are rebooted on a daily basis, and we've even tried to reboot...

Hi,

I'm on Windows 10 (21H2) and I also work in a studio that has MacOS computers, and I'm one of two Windows-based users.

The studio uses a Synology NAS to connect all the users, and in the...

This is just another example of how stupid Microsoft can be when implementing updates. I mean why would anyone remove a handly way to individually clear recent searched items? It makes no sense....

So I managed to figure out what the issue was. The "culprit" was an additional software plug-in that I install to run with SketchUp Pro 2019 which is called VRay Next v4.0, which loads its own menu...

Good plan. Thanks for trying to assist all the same.

Yeah, I'm convinced it's a quirk with the app itself, but I thought maybe someone here would have a way to manage such behaviour from within Windows, by doing other steps to try and remedy this.
...

You're 100% correct in saying that I have tried that already. This is what is perplexing me at this point, because I have experienced this before on some other software, and what you've outlined has...

I did a complete clean uninstall of the old version, so I don't have version 2017 & and version 2019 (the latest) installed together. I made sure there are no remnants of the 2017 version on the...

The previous version I had installed (v2017), as well as the version I am running now, do not require an online connectivity to run. Meaning that you can use the software without the machine having...

Oh my bad. It's Sketchup Pro 2019.
