  1. You can also try a hard reset. Hold the power button for 30 seconds then release. It will reset nvram.
  2. Is the desktop OS used as much? With tablets and phones that are mini computers I don't think that desktops are as popular as they used to be. Microsoft ditched the mobile phone market years ago. Was that a good decision?
  3. I'm a member there. Not as good as it used to be. Still a great resource.
  4. Is this also your site? If it is why not make it part of this community?
  5. I'll agree with that. Very knowledgeable.
  6. Nice to meet you. Enjoy getting to know you.
  7. I'm a member there. Will the accounts be merged?
  8. Check your task. Make sure it's set up correctly. Make sure you set the proper triggers. Post back if you need more help.
  9. Make sure to check the compatibility of the extensions. Also make sure all the drivers are up to date. Lastly check and make sure permissions are correct. If you need more help post back.
  10. I might have to check this out. I like shooters.
  11. It was useless anyway. Use InPrivate browsing or a VPN if you want to be anonymous.
  12. Maybe these alternatives will help. Here are some potential equivalent certifications that could be accepted instead of the discontinued System Center certification: 1. Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate Focuses on managing Azure subscriptions, implementing storage solutions, and configuring virtual networks. 2. Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert Validates skills in designing solutions on Azure, including compute, network, storage, and security. 3. Microsoft Certified: Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert Covers managing Microsoft 365 services, including identity, security, compliance, and supporting technologies. 4. Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate Focuses on managing Windows Server workloads on-premises and in Azure. 5. MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Although this is a legacy certification, it covers core skills in cloud technologies, virtualization, and networking. 6. CompTIA Cloud+ A vendor-neutral certification that validates cloud computing skills and knowledge. 7. AWS Certified Solutions Architect Demonstrates expertise in designing distributed systems on AWS, which can be relevant for cloud-based infrastructures. 8. VMware Certified Professional (VCP) Focuses on virtualization technologies, which are essential in modern data centers. Considerations Relevance: Ensure the certification aligns with the specific requirements of the tender. Industry Standards: Check if the certification is recognized within the industry. Updates: Verify if there are any new certifications introduced that might be more relevant. These certifications can demonstrate an engineer's proficiency in managing and maintaining modern IT environments, similar to the skills covered by the System Center certification.
  13. You can try these steps. To delegate permissions to a group while protecting an object from accidental deletion, you typically follow these steps in a Windows environment, particularly using Active Directory. Here’s a structured approach: Steps to Delegate Permissions Open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC): Press Windows + R, type dsa.msc, and hit Enter. Locate the Object: Navigate to the organizational unit (OU) or container where the object (like a user, group, or computer) is located. Right-click on the Object: Select Properties. Go to the Security Tab: Click on the Security tab to manage permissions. Add the Group: Click on Add. Enter the name of the group you want to delegate permissions to, and click Check Names to verify. Assign Permissions: Select the group and click on Advanced. Click on Add to create a new permission entry. Select Principal (the group you added). In the Type dropdown, choose Allow. In the Permissions section, check the permissions you want to delegate (like Read, Write, Create, etc.). Protecting the Object from Accidental Deletion Go to the Object's Properties: While still in the properties of the object, navigate to the Object tab. Check the "Protect object from accidental deletion" Option: Look for the checkbox labeled Protect object from accidental deletion. Check this box to enable protection. Apply Changes: Click OK to apply the changes. Summary Delegated Permissions: Allows the specified group to perform certain actions on the object. Accidental Deletion Protection: Prevents the object from being deleted accidentally by users who have permissions. Note Make sure to test the configuration to ensure that the permissions are working as intended and that the object is protected from deletion. Let us know if it helps you.
  14. It is still very much in use by millions of people. Old habits die hard. Skype is still the best to use to communicate with old friends and family.
  15. I would be surprised if this causes anyone an issue. TPM 2 has been around for years. Most computers or laptops manufactured since 2016 or so have the chip on board. Heck even VMWare supports it in virtual machines.
  16. Thanks.
  17. It's not possible to upgrade the video processor in laptops any longer. The bios setting was removed in most. In any case on laptops that did have the option it was always set out of the factory to max value.
  18. I was a member there. Will my account be merged?
  19. Still getting them. Very intermittent. Not as bad as the other day.
  20. I'm in 1
  21. Does anyone still use Windows 10?
  22. I still have every bookmark saved. Years worth. From time to time I check them. Happened to hit extremetechsupport.com and here you are. Good to be back.
  23. Creating GUIs in PowerShell that utilize Microsoft dialog boxes can be done using Windows Forms or WPF. Below, I'll provide a simple example using Windows Forms to demonstrate how to create a GUI with dialog boxes. Example: Simple PowerShell GUI with Dialog Boxes This example creates a form with a button that, when clicked, opens a message box and a file dialog. # Load the required assembly Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms # Create the form $form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form $form.Text = "PowerShell GUI Example" $form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(300,200) # Create a button $buttonMessageBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button $buttonMessageBox.Text = "Show Message" $buttonMessageBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(50,50) $buttonMessageBox.Add_Click({ [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Hello, this is a message box!", "Message Box Title") }) # Create another button for file dialog $buttonFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button $buttonFileDialog.Text = "Open File Dialog" $buttonFileDialog.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(50,100) $buttonFileDialog.Add_Click({ $openFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog $openFileDialog.Title = "Select a File" $openFileDialog.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*" if ($openFileDialog.ShowDialog() -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("You selected: " + $openFileDialog.FileName, "File Selected") } }) # Add buttons to the form $form.Controls.Add($buttonMessageBox) $form.Controls.Add($buttonFileDialog) # Show the form $form.Add_Shown({$form.Activate()}) [void]$form.ShowDialog() How to Run the Script Open PowerShell ISE or any PowerShell editor. Copy and paste the script above into the editor. Run the script. Description of the Code Add-Type: Loads the Windows Forms assembly. Form: Creates a new form window. Buttons: Two buttons are created; one shows a message box and the other opens a file dialog. Event Handlers: The Add_Click method attaches event handlers to the buttons to define what happens when they are clicked. MessageBox: Displays a message box with a custom message. OpenFileDialog: Opens a file dialog for the user to select a file. This script provides a basic framework for creating GUIs in PowerShell using Microsoft dialog boxes. You can expand upon this by adding more controls and functionalities as needed.
  24. It is definitely broken. Took over my login screen. As soon as I went to add my login info it would send me to twitter. Very annoying. I hope you rethink having it turned on.
