Background info why you're getting these events: Microsoft Updating Windows Secure Boot Keys in 2024
Download, unblock, unzip and run the appropriate bitness version (almost always 64-bit) of Nir Sofer's RegScanner.
Carry out a scan for Spotlight:
408694
The results will show a list of...
If you are curious, you should be able to list what was successfully installed by the application installer engine.
You can either open Event Viewer (as administrator) and search Event Viewer >...
For info, changing the text colour to light yellow against a white background makes it almost impossible to read.... so I gave up. :)
It's the front-end GUI to msiexec.exe, the built-in application installer engine.
If you didn't invoke it yourself then use something like the small, free, portable Autoruns to see where/when it's...
Why do you want to 'generalise'? Are you creating a bare-bones OS installer for different hardware?
Once you've taken a disk image, perhaps start off with the latest chipset driver. It's old... much like your device... bit I cannot see anything more recent.
Win 10 does its best but occasionally cannot install proprietary drivers best sourced from OEM.
As dalchina suggests, post a screenshot so we have a better idea and/or post expanded Device...
"Microsoft values the security of its software and services but made the decision to allow users and administrators to evaluate the performance impact and risk exposure before deciding to enable the...
I agree with the point made by Try3 about not using a .REG file. I moved away from using registry edits several years ago when I began using a PowerShell 'cleanup' script (Windows 10 Decrapifier) to...
I agree with Malneb.
My 'system' drive is now an SSD - fairly small - so I place portable apps on a different 'always on' drive to reduce the effect of read-write operations.
I think what we need are far more versions of PowerShell to muddy the waters even further. :-)
Yes, I admit to trying to 'gatekeep'. I think this is a great forum so make no bones about trying to protect it... for example, by flagging up nonsense, poorly written posts like yours accusing...
I've been using Nir Sofer's software for many, many years without issue.
To be honest this thread is, IMHO, totally incoherent and just casts aspersions about a legitimate and much respected...
I agree with Ghot and prefer portables over installed. They just make things easier, IMO.
I'm pleased that a growing trend is for some portables to have an internal option (usually under Settings...
No, no need to use these features at all, in my opinion.
I use the following PowerShell code:
# Check if System Protection is enabled
$protectionEnabled = Get-ComputerRestorePoint -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($protectionEnabled -eq $null) {
...
The Reliability Monitor screenshot shows a lot of failures starting on the 23rd March... hence Windows Error Reporting (werfault.exe) writing to diagnostic logs. What happened on the 23rd? A...
Try using LockHunter.
Once installed, right-click on a drive then, from the context menu, choose What's locking this folder:
408039
Next, select the System process holding the metadata files...
It looks like the disappearing disk space is down to the Windows Error Reporting service (werfault.exe) writing fault logs continuously.
How long has your system been like this? What has changed?...
Umm... that shows the System process expanded. I suggested not expanding any of the processes so we could see all that are in use.
EDIT: OK, I've just seen your comment about losing file space....
My understanding of this is that NTFS (as a journaling filesystem) uses tick counts whilst FAT systems just don't have that precision, hence stick to a 2 second median. Using the /FFT parameter...
Post a screenshot from Lockhunter showing the processes using the drive... but don't expand any of them. Let's just see what's using the drive in case it's not just Edge.
Hope this helps...
The Apple Devices app in the Microsoft Store was released 2022/09/20.
Apple may well be ending development of iTunes (the Windows version has been roundly criticised and, IMO, quite rightly so......
Try using Task Manager to close the Edge processes.
The Service Host (svchost.exe) is used to host multiple service-related processes and is quite normal.
However, I suspect that most of the...
