Having a program run each time you sign in to Windows
If you use a program frequently, you may want to add it to the Start-up folder. Here's how: 1. Right-click Start, click Run, type "shell:startup" (without the quotes) and then press ENTER. 2. Click Start, type the name of a program, right-click a program in a list of results, and then click Open file location. 3. Right-click a program's icon, click Copy, right-click inside the Start-up window, and then click Paste. Alternatively, you can use Registry Editor to have a program run each time you start Windows. Here's how: WARNING: Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) is a very powerful tool that lets you directly modify the registry. However, incorrect use of Registry Editor can cause serious, system-wide problems including hard disk corruption, general instability, or the inability to use your computer. It may be necessary for you to reinstall your operating system to correct the problems. Microsoft does not support modifying the registry. Use this tool at your own risk. 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + R, type "regedit" (without the quotes) and then press ENTER. 2. Double-click the following registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String Value. 4. Type the name of a program and press ENTER. (For example, PowerShell Core.) 5. Double-click a newly-created value, type the drive, path, and the name of a program, and then press ENTER. (For example, C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6\pwsh.exe) 6. Exit Registry Editor. NOTE: On Windows 10 20H1, if you right-click a program, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab, you can enable "Register this program for restart." On Windows 10 May 2020 Update and later, if you shut down your PC while programs are left open, they will be restored when you turn your PC back on.
Windows Updates On Virtual Machine Server 2019
Hi all, We are experiencing an issue when attempting to download and install Windows Updates on a Windows Server 2019 Virtual Machine, any help would be appreciated. From some reading online I believe the log which shows errors related to updates is the CBS.log, I have copied some of the first error lines below, 2021-02-26 17:20:02, Error CSI 00000046@2021/2/26:17:20:02.401 (F) Attempting to mark store corrupt with category [l:26 ml:27]'CorruptComponentsRootItems'[gle=0x80004005] 2021-02-26 17:20:02, Error CSI 00000047@2021/2/26:17:20:02.401 (F) onecore\base\wcp\componentstore\csd_transact.cpp(3870): Store corruption detected in function CCSDirect::CreateTransaction expression: 0 2021-02-26 17:20:02, Error CSI 00000048 (F) HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(14098) #8463# from Windows::COM::CComponentStore::InternalTransact(...)[gle=0x80073712] 2021-02-26 17:20:02, Error CSI 00000049 (F) HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(14098) #8461# from Windows::ServicingAPI::CCSITransaction::ICSITransaction2_Analyze(Flags = 0, riid = {f4d9decb-0250-4ad4-9500-85c7f2f281ec}, ppUnk = NULL, disp = 0)[gle=0x80073712] These seem to point to Component Store being corrupted in some way. Many were saying on some community pages that a potential solution would be to rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder incase the old downloads were corrupted, new ones would then be downloaded and a new "SoftwareDistribution" folder created, unfortunately this did not work. Another potential solution was to run admin command variations of the below, dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup This command did kick off returning image version etc but did not continue, I ensured to leave this overnight as it was advised it can take hours to complete, again no success. Short of restoring the VM's image from backup which I imagine will be a painful process I am out of ideas, any help or advise would be appreciated. Regards, Stuart

Would you prefer that the Windows be more consisent.I would
We all know that Windows 10 as an operating system is very inconsistent. For example, Windows 10 has 2 settings menus which mostly have the exact same things just duplicated. Also, if you scan all the dropdown menus in Windows 10, there are about four types, one of them being a fluent design type context menu-one that Microsoft should stick to, and the others literally being ripped out of Windows Vista and 7 and glued to Windows 10. In fact, one of the default apps in Windows 10, WordPad, as I've heard, are literally pulled out of Windows operating systems that are 20 years old! Hence I urge you all to voice out your opinions on this inconsistent Windows were Dark Mode is like half-baked pie. Share your experiences with the inconsistency. I hope it gets to Microsoft. Thank you!

Disconnecting Hard drive and Installing Windows on an SSD
Hello, I would like to know if I could Disconnect my Hard Drive which was my primary boot drive until I bought an SSD, and then Install a fresh copy of windows on the SSD with a bootable USB drive while the hard drive is disconnected and then when the windows is set up and ready to go, I later connect my Hard drive which Still has the older copy of the windows and files that i don't want to lose and so I set the SSD as the priority boot device in the BIOS. What I want to ask is after my SSD is the priority boot device and I have reconnected the Hard Drive Which is as a single partition in which there are separate folders containing the old C and D drives, can I then reconnect my Hard drive and will it show up as another drive with all its content or will I have to Create a new simple volume which Would result in me loosing my Data, so i would like to know if there is another method which will let me keep the old data and still show the Hard drive with its contents(where i would later delete the C drive folder containing the old copy of windows on the Hard disk so that the SSD becomes the only storage device with windows on it) in the new fresh copy of windows booted via the SSD and thus be able to keep my D drive From the old windows but now the old copy of windows on my computer. I hope you understood my Question and the specific doubt that I have, and so would you help me to know the solution to this problem or should i like copy the D drive on to and external hard disk and then connect my SSD and then clone my windows to the SSD so that I don't Have any problems with formatting the Hard Drive after the cloning process is done, and then reinstall the cloned windows with the option of deleting all files and reinstalling it agian. Although i would like to go with the first method(that is if it is possible ). Thanking you in Advance
Windows 10 local administrative privileges
It seems as though most of my issues regarding software updates, installations, and compatibility have been centered to one thing : permissions. The ability to read, write, or modify files within a directory, or a sub directory by default, shouldn't be restricted by administrators. How about TrustedInstaller? I don't trust that either. Why is it the owner, and not the Admin, or user that's logged in? From anti cheat and anti virus to my newly created windows.old on a newly installed OS. Permissions aren't handled in a way that they should be. Even local admins have trouble changing ownership to themselves and break software functionality. This wasn't an issue in windows 7 or earlier. Stir some heat, boiz. Let's talk about this.
