ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING!
I set it so the above settings and I still got a RANDOM reboot. I have used windows since 3.1 and know what I am doing, but this is ridiculous. I am am doing everything I...
Can't hurt to try, but in theory "notify for install" should never cause an automatic reboot either way. I am liking Win10, but this is awful of them.
Well, I don't see that option. In group policy, in "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update"
I set "Configure Automatic Updates" to "3 - Auto download and...
Unbelievable! I edited the group policy and and it rebooted automatically last night!
This is awful for productivity. Unbelievable MS.
Thanks, they really make it difficult. It doesn't seem right that it is that challenging to prevent your computer from restarting randomly.
I have Win10 pro and set to "notify to schedule restart" and "defer updates". Also have "give me updates for other MS products..." unchecked.
However, Win10 just decided to reboot the computer and...
Thanks for the clarification. I thought something like this was the case. I guess the question is if there is anything that can be done about it. I might try another DVD drive if all else fails.
No disk in the drive. I had to check though...was going to be like "duh"
When the computer goes to sleep, it accesses the DVD drive (for some reason). It then makes a noise for a second or two, which is pretty annoying. Any way to stop this? It has no reason to even mess...
Yeah, I would like to upgrade the motherboard now, but that means a whole host of issues (lots of time and also a new processor needed). Would be a lot of money so in the end I will probably just...
Soooo confusing. Why can't MS just make a flowchart or something?
I want to upgrade the motherboard now, but that would probably mean a clean install. With all the little tweaks, etc. that...
Ahhh, so if want to simply change my motherboard next year (probably the best definition a new "device"), I will most likely have to pay an upgrade fee. I sort of expected this would be the case.
...
I poked around but could not find a clear answer for this scenario. What I found is that if you upgrade during the first year, it is linked to your hardware.
But lets say next year I want to get a...
This is weird. I rebooted and the windows logo showed up but then it went to a flashing black and white screen. I rebooted a few times and the same thing.
Then I tried F8 while booting (thinking...
how about CNTRL-ALT-DEL and then hit enter?
The favicon looks fruity
No, that's not what I am talking about. I am talking about how you can move parts of a window off the display. For example, If I grab the top of the window and drag it down, I can nearly all of it...
Any way to force windows to not allow a window to partially go off the screen? With a large display and high resolution I have no need for a window to "overflow" off the display.
Actually, this works much better to get to a given desktop.
Just use the left or right keyboard commands to get to either the first or last desktop (maybe 3/4 consecutive changes). Then use the...
Another option is to use desktop to the LEFT or RIGHT of the existing desktop. This is done with keyboard shortcut WIN+CNTRL+ARROW or with the following code:
Send("^#{LEFT}")
This is what it looks like in the end. I put them in the middle of the screen. I could probably give them more meaningful icons, but good enough for now.

Just an idea for anyone wanting icons for the virtual desktop. You need a fixed number of virtual desktops for this to work. For example, I am using 3 virtual desktops. If I wanted to use 4, I would...
Dang windows. I was thinking of just creating a shortcut on the desktop and using standard windows sendkey. But they don't have a sendkey for the "windows" key. Ugggh!!! How can they not have that...
This seemed to fix it. Had to adjust the "simulated" related keys. In my case however, there were 3 of these (probably due to the various monitors I have used on it). I just adjusted those to the...
I have tried out a few different monitors recently, but I just settled on the one I want to use. All was going well but after it wakes from "sleeping", the windows are being resized and moved....
