I wonder if it's worth it when you have to fight an app to honour your preferences.

On the other hand... it's just like Windows itself really.

It's been a long time since I had to deal with networked printers but, AFAIK, the toast notifications are generated by the Windows print server, not the printer itself.

Try this:
1. Open the...

My local hospital still has a couple of resonance imaging machines that can only be controlled by Windows XP. I couldn't believe it when I took my Dad in for a scan and spotted the front screen and...

I prefer knowing the filesizes for event logs before I delete them so I use this PowerShell script:

No... it means the problem is the connection between your ISP and your router. Once again, contact your ISP.

I'm not sure how we can advise you as you have provided no info at all about device make/model or Windows 10 edition, version or build no. nor what you have tried to see what's happening. Like you,...

I'm struggling to find the relevance to Windows 10.... nope.

fishingfool, for info... I had a similar issue inasmuch my daughter's 2007 Nissan Note wouldn't recognise an NTFS-formatted USB2 stick but happily plays MP3's on the same USB2 stick re-formatted as...

Thank you, fishingfool, for the URL.

However, I note the advice is to use ESC first to pop up the 'startup menu' then use F2 to open the 'Component Tests' menu:

As a result, my advice...

Where did you see to use the F2 key?

For HP Pavilion notebooks, keep tapping the F10 key at boot.
For HP Envy DV6/DV7 notebooks and other HP laptops/notebooks, keep pressing the ESC key at boot....

Relax... it wasn't a criticism. It was just a mere observation.

Just a shame that this website doesn't have a 'Rant' forum for you and others to indulge yourselves.. :-)

And you come here to this forum to avoid "Unacceptable authoritarian arrogance"?

Hmm... OK. Let the comments begin... :-)

Perhaps mods could close this thread? It's devolved from a simple 'howto' to a protracted argument that, IMO, serves no purpose.

The question was asked and answered by OP in post #1 then began its...

Yay... automated lying. Just what the world has all been asking for.

Shame about the longstanding problems with Windows 10 networking though... obviously far less important.

Process Monitor (ProcMon) will show a much deeper level than Task Manager - registry, filesystem, network and process activity - but has a learning curve because of the huge amount of activity...

Sorry but that just isn't accurate. Using Windows (or even a live Windows build using re-direction), you can also use reg.exe.

You can also use PowerShell cmdlets to amend the registry.

It's...

I'm old... and apparently now blind.

Senility sucks. :-)

Now you've updated the firmware, perhaps consider marking the thread as 'Closed'?

I would check that your 'virtual music app' doesn't need online access. Perhaps use Nir Sofer's CurrPorts?

IMO it's not that simple.

That looks exactly like how my Dell Latitude E7450 looked before I changed the boot options. Try this:

1. Keep pressing F12 as your laptop boots... you should see a message Preparing one-time boot...
