@momurda said in Win10 won't highlight selected items in File Explorer:

I see this happen sometimes. It actually selects everythign but you cant actually see that it has. Luckily this has always gone away when i reboot.

In my case it was selecting only the one item being clicked on, as evidenced by the status bar at the bottom of the window.

The weird thing for my user - the busy cursor came up when they double clicked on the item, but (in this case) Excel never opened. The busy cursor was still there when I arrived about 25 seconds later.

I had the user check task manager - nothing was hung, the CPU was yawning at 10% usage, RAM was under 3 GB used (8 in the machine).
I had the user return to File Explorer, and try again, first try (at my request) - nothing, second try - it opened.

The lack of opening makes me thing the user is was moving the mouse between clicks, though I can't prove that.

FYI - I've set two of the machine (one laptop and one desktop) to not sleep for 3+ hours. We'll see if this makes any difference. The laptop user is not very mobile, so they rarely move the laptop (close the lid, etc).

Duplicate IP or bad switch or local port... possibly driver.

KB4093112

This problem isnt listed in the Known Issues section of the update yet.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093112/windows-10-update-kb4093112
This seems to be the new spectre v2 update. Seems to have totally borked IE though for many people.

Was the other Webroot issue listed?

@obsolesce said in Creating Scheduled Task with Powershell - Using specific user account:

I know this post is old, but I've found doing scheduled tasks with SaltStack is insanely simple and very effective lately... so much more than using MS Group Policy.

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.win_task.html

I really want to get back into learning saltstack again.

Here's an example of a task that goes to all minions it's supposed to go to... and it "just works". No AD required.
Also, using SaltStack to sync that .ps1 it runs from GitLab:

MM that is just troubleshooting but it is not loading without the recovery disc or recovery partition. Safemode is a pain as well.

, in an elevated command prompt you run this.
MOFCOMP %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.

Interesting, that was the issue you were having last week right?

Nope. Different client.

That location is a firewall issue.

I just manually looked for events 7001 and 7002. got the job done.

My money on error 1603. Which means nothing but is usually the error in Windows Update logs.

@jaredbusch said in Anyone heard a date for Windows 10 1803:

I have a new deployment coming March 8-12 and Would prefer to not have a new update a few weeks later.

Too late to reschedule things now, but I was jsut wondering what anyone has heard.

Googled around a bit and just been seeing "March" and nothing else.

I've have used that ProfileWiz before by ForensiT, works really well.

@wls-itguy said in Windows laptops stuck at 1709.192 update.:

What in the #&#

Great! BTW, I read a while ago that WSUS was going away? Yet today in my searches for this issue I see that it is indeed still alive and well on 2012 servers? Did I dream that WSUS was going away?

It often should go away, but I don't know that MS is taking it away.

@travisdh1 said in Disable Screensaver and User Lockout with PowerShell:

I'm resurrecting this old ghost today.

I've got a couple of police computers that they want the screensaver password turned off for. Our remote registry editor doesn't have HKCU available of course, and Powershell is giving me the same sort of errors it was for @gjacobse. Did anyone ever get it figured out, or am I stuck waiting for them to call me back?

You can always browse to the HKEY_Users then the SID for the current user that is loggged in using remote registry, this is the same thing as HKCU.

Tip: if you don't want to look up the SID using powershell just right click on the SID and check the security settings, it should give you hints to who is who unless it's been customized.
