For instance, if I'm opening a handful of apps that take a bit of time to start up, and then start dragging windows around to set up my workspace, each time an app finishes loading or a new window is created, I'll be yanked out of my dragging and forced into focus on that window.
I need a way to prevent these windows/apps from automatically seizing focus, it's REALLY fucking annoying. Steam especially will hog focus 3 or more fucking times in its startup process. This is such a stupid default function.
I recently acquired a new MoBo, CPU, and RAM kit to upgrade my platform for the first time in just about a decade. What I failed to consider until now is the near requirement of a clean Windows install after the upgrade.
I want to retain as much of my personal files, installed software, Windows and Explorer settings, etc. as humanly possible after the reinstall, WITHOUT retaining any files/drivers that could possibly cause performance loss and/or conflicts. I also use Classic Shell, if that matters.
On Windows 10 Home x64, and my current C: drive is a 1TB SSD, and I plan on backing it up to a 4TB HDD I bought for data hording. GPU and other PCIe cards will remain the same, along with a stack of storage HDDs with various media files and installed software/games.
I recently got ssh set up so I can do stuff in powershell on my desktop from my laptop. I want to be able to start a movie on my desktop from my laptop, instead of having to reach for my wireless keyboard. I was researching how to do this with SSH, and it looks like OpenSSH no longer allows you to run the server as a user, it can only be ran as a service which doesn't have access to the desktop.
What's the best way to achieve this functionality?
I managed to mess my drive up to the point that Windows wouldn't boot. Trying to keep all of my data, I copied the folders in C: to another drive, reinstalled Windows and copied them back. Now, when I try to log into my account, with the same name I had before, I get an error saying an error occured with the password. Trying to change the password is no good as my nework adapter is not working, because Windows, unlike Linux, can't seem to ship with the necessary drivers. In order to install drivers, I need to log in and now you see the problem. I tried adding a new user through CMD in the recovery, but I can't seem to choose that user when trying to log in. I also cannot see the user with the corrupted password when i run "net user", but I do get a return listing some of the default accounts, along with a line saying the command couldn't complete. Now I'm running low on ideas, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, I hope I'm right here with this question and you can help me with an issue that follows me since a few months now where I'm struggling with the NTP synchronization on my windows 10 PC...
The issue only happens with this one device, all other devices can sync their time with whichever ntp server I chose.
I'm even able to contact the ntp server via netcat on this exact device (Opensuse running via WSL), so it's definitely not a network issue:
nc -u -vvv time.windows.com 123
Connection to time.windows.com 123 port [udp/ntp] succeeded!
I tried all the standard solutions:
Windows Time
servicenet stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /resync
Sending resync command to local computer
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.
w32tm /query /peers

In the meantime I even completely wiped the disk and reinstalled windows 10 from scratch, but no luck.
I really don't know what else to do and where to look, since the error messages from windows are also not really helpful.

This article is going to be a very quick guide on how you can add history to your commands for command prompt on Windows.
I recently upgraded my old laptop from 8.1 Pro to 10Pro. Says not authenticated. Tried to authenticate. MS says I need to buy a new license. Web search seems to indicate it was free till just recently? Any help/info/links appreciated.
