Yes, I like it more than FOG (though, I haven't used FOG yet) because I'm under the impression FOG is clone-based imaging only.

How can you say you like it more if you've never tried it?

Are you saying I should I like something that I haven't used yet more?

I think he's saying that "more" can't apply. Because you like MDT "X" amount, but FOG you like "null" amount. In math, you can't compare against a null, because it doesn't exist. No value, of X can ever me more likely to be "more" than a null than it is to be "less" than a null. Using the logic that you've never tried FOG, you can't say that you then like MDT more, any more than you can say that you like it less. There is simply no comparison.

That was his point.

Otherwise we could interpret it at random. You love MDT, hate MDT, find it exactly the same as FOG... are all equally incorrect based on a null comparison.

Because I have read about Fog and seen some of it, it's not null. Therefore I am able to have some like or dislike and form an opinion.

Just like I never drove a Lamborghini, but still like them more than a VW Beetle which I've owned in the past.

RDP at home is fine.

@dbeato Has to be at least related because disabling it works

The batch file I have for one client is this:

powershell Rename-Computer -NewName "COMPUTER_NAME" -DomainCredential DOMAIN\ADMINUser -Restart

Where COMPUTER_NAME to not exceed the 15 character limit

ETA:
I should add that this batch script start with installing Chocolatey package management tools, then the default applications,

Machine was replaced. Looking into how to test the old one further. Might start that tonight.

@obsolesce said in Windows 10 Always Says Up to Date, But Always Needs Updates:

If you want to do automatic Windows updates in a similar way to DNF-Automatic for example, I'd load this module:

And then set up a scheduled task to run a script that loads the module and runs Get-WUInstall.

Too easy 😉

jeeze,.. that is a sad state to think that we have nbeen fighting this for that long,...

@JaredBusch @scottalanmiller
Can a cron be set to restart the ipsec every 24 hours?

Yes.

In my case I wanted to kill sleep altogether.

I saw a site recommend going to System > Display > Advanced Scaling Settings and fixing it there. But it is already off there, and that does nothing. So once again, Windows 10 total failure. How do normal people outside of IT even use Windows anymore?

Its popping up because it's off. It's alerting you to turn it on

But I don't want it to scale, it's doing the right thing. Off is correct. The notification is just wrong, period.

It's not scaling. I had to turn it on to fix Outlook and nothing changed sizes. It's for the handful of dialog boxes and applications that appear blurry for whatever reason.

It's not scaling? Even though it's the scaling dialogue?

I didn't notice any changes other than the boxes that were blurry. I didn't notice it scale anything else.

@black3dynamite I've not seen that happen. This is every time?

It happened twice so far with the same USB.

Try another USB, maybe there is something wrong with that one?

Good tip had someone on the phone last week saying their number lock wasn't staying on after reboots

If the laptop isn't worth much to you without the NVidia, you can Google "laptop oven reflow"
http://www.computerrepairtips.net/how-to-reflow-a-laptop-motherboard/

If it does serve some purpose with the built in Intel video, you may not want to try that....

I had the same problem before even with this settings but I recall @scottalanmiller saying it was fixed.

Mine was fixed by the way.

it should be noted that

it's current build is Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.112]

it is possible that rolling back (if possible) to 16299.492 would resolve - which at a point - becomes a 'fresh install' as roll back expires.
And since this is a remote system, not convenient to do.

Thanks.

I had to deal with one that couldn't use its docking station correctly after the 1803 install. Had to be removed from the dock to be powered on and the monitors stopped working.
