Some programs don't give the option during install to restrict

How can I restrict a program(s) to be run by Administrators group only? (If can't...
I have a variety of music: some organized in iTunes, some in Amazon Music, and some simply stored as an array of album folders created from ripped CDs. I'd like get it all organized so I know where...
Opened Chrome this morning and clicked on the Google Apps icon in the toolbar. It used to show the apps in customized order now. This morning they all display in alpha order. Hate that. I want the...
You can try removing Samsung ghost devices (A ghost device isn't plugged in but its hardware information is still in registry. Usually not an issue or cause any problem)

Thanks for the tip. I was editing the path in RegEdit but good to know!

Thanks for all the info. I'm familiar with DISM. I've used it to add/remove drivers to offline...
You're right. I think the OEMDriversToInstall folder does have a couple layers of subfolders in it. Thanks for that. Will modify and test again when I'm back there to test again. Thanks! Will let you...
Yes. I was able manually update it using Device Manager and pointing it to my OEMDriversToInstall folder so all driver files present.
Question: Do you know (if I recall correctly) on each boot...

I'm running Windows 10 v21H2. I currently have a single drive with separate partitions for Windows and Data. The data partition is assigned letter D: . I'm adding a second drive. I want to move Data...
Which takes us back to the original question: Why not just use BitLocker to encrypt the entire drive and then reformat it? Done. Would that leave any doubt? After reformat, even if there is any...
BitLocker can encrypt the entire drive not just used disk space. It's user choice

No, we don't. I said I was wiping it to give away. (to Free Geeks, exactly)
But that still begs the question for someone, is encrypting a drive with BL and then reformatting not sufficient for...
But I'm not simply turning BitLocker off. I'm essentially (I thought) using BL to encrypt the drive and then throwing away the encryption key.
I've always read there's no way to recover any...
I have some old external and internal hard drives as well as an SSD I need to wipe before giving away.
There's lots of software out there to wipe a drive clean (single or multipass writes,...

Is it possible @hsehestedt might also accomplish what he wants using an MDT database?
I've never used an MDT database myself (again, I'm just a novice at MDT LTI) but could an MDT...
Kari will give you a much better answer then I can. I've only built MDT LTI deployments. But from reading, I'm also aware of MDT User Driven Interface (UDI) which allows you to build custom screens...
I have two PCs on a home LAN. But only one of the two appears under the Network Folder.
I remote support family computers. There are two computers PC-1 and PC-2 a LAN. Only PC-2 is listed under...
Done! Thanks.

Hi Kari
Once again another great tutorial! I started stepping through it and had a couple comments so far

Oh how things change
Ugh... OK. We uninstalled the driver but (my guess) it's reinstalling using a copy in DriverStore. But first
1. Try booting into safe mode. Still have the problem? If not, stop here. let me know...
One more thought... before doing the work above, create and boot from Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk. Test your flash drive. If it now works booted from rescue media, then it's an...
