Answer : This is a common problem in all Lenovo laptops. I also have faced this problem so many times. For solving this please go to the link(link of official Lenovo's support site) and download latest bios setup and install it. It will update your bios and all will be all right. Download bios set for window 8.1 and install it. The manual also is given in PDF format. http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g580-notebook Update: After this again the same problem happens with me but this time I already have latest BIOS version installed in my system and the Lenovo don't allow the installation of same or lower version of the BIOS in existing latest BIOS. So I stuck there and can not do anything. I also approached to the Lenovo service center but they are also helpless they suggest me to change the motherboard which cost me around 10000 INR.

Answer : The issue happens when you open a RDP connection. Just bring the RDP window in foreground and press Alt + Enter . The issue will disappear on all other windows too Source: How to Fix Alt Gr Key Not Working. In my case left Shift + Caps Lock + AltGr helped. I have no idea what it does, but it works. Some utility programs can also "steal" the keyboard stroks. In my case it appeared that the VirtualDesktopManager resulted in non-functional AltGr, so I could not write [ and ] .

Answer : ETL stands for Event Trace Log file which is created by Microsoft Tracelog, a program that creates logs using the events from the kernel in Microsoft operating systems. It contains trace messages that have been generated during trace sessions, such as disk accesses or page faults. ETL files are used to log high-frequency events while tracking the performance of an operating system. Microsoft Windows records application and system-level warnings, errors, or other events to these binary files called the event trace logs, which can then be used to troubleshoot potential problems. To answer your query, you may delete these files and deleting will not affect anything on your system. The abnormal part is why do you have so many of them. If you cannot remember having turned on tracing in some part of Windows, it will take real detective work to find it out.

Answer : Wi-Fi cannot be bridged to Ethernet. This is not a Windows limitation in any way. There’s a good explanation on why that is in the old OpenWrt wiki. Instead, you should use Internet Connection Sharing (ie. make your PC a router): Go to the Network Connections control panel (where you’re currently trying to create the bridge) Open your Wi-Fi connection’s properties. Switch to the “Sharing” tab Enable it, selecting your Ethernet connection as the “Home networking connection”. Everything should automatically work after that. Wi-Fi CAN be bridged to Ethernet on Windows 10. Connect to Internet via WiFi. Take note of your private IP settings (e.g. IP:192.168.1.44 SM:255.255.255.0 GW:192.168.1.1 DNS:192.168.1.1) In Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections, highlight WiFi and Ethernet (use shift click or Ctrl Click or shift arrow key). Rt-click on highlighted area and choose "Bridge Connections" At this point, hosting PC will lik...

Answer : In Windows, you will have to set the path to the location where you installed Anaconda3 to. For me, I installed anaconda3 into C:\Anaconda3 . Therefore you need to add C:\Anaconda3 as well as C:\Anaconda3\Scripts\ to your path variable, e.g. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Anaconda3;C:\Anaconda3\Scripts\ . You can do this via powershell (see above, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776899(v=vs.85).aspx ), or hit the windows key → enter environment → choose from settings → edit environment variables for your account → select Path variable → Edit → New . To test it, open a new dos shell, and you should be able to use conda commands now. E.g., try conda --version . Things have been changed after conda 4.6 . Programs "Anaconda Prompt" and "Anaconda Powershell" expose the command conda for you automatically. Find them in your startup menu. If you don't wanna use the prompts above and try to make conda available in a normal cmd.exe a...

Answer : I found the solution. The reason is that Windows Hello is managed differently on domain joined computers, starting with the anniversary update. To get it to work you have to follow these steps: 1) Setup a Group Policy Central Store (you should already have that) 2) Get Windows 10 Anniversary Update Group Policy Templates . You can do so by copying your files from PolicyDefinitions (in windir on a Win10 Anniversary Update machine) into the PolicyDefinitions of the central store. You might copy those files first to a file share, because of permissions your regular user should not have on the central store. 3) Setup a new GPO or add to an existing the following settings to enable Windows Hello: Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates .../Windows Components/Windows Hello For Business/ Use biometrics => Enabled .../Windows Components/Windows Hello for Business/ Use a hardware security device => Enabled (if you want to use TPM instead of k...

Answer : Can I use more the 16 colours in a Windows batch file? No, as most most Windows apps only support 16 colours. However, in the Windows 10 Insiders Build #14931 the Windows Console was updated to support 24-bit RGB true color. Unfortunately as mentioned above most Windows apps cannot make use of this enhancement (yet). However, using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Linux scripts and tools can use the Console's new 24-bit color support: One of the most frequent requests we receive is to increase the number of colors that the Windows Console can support. We love nothing more than to deliver features you ask for! But rather than just add a few more colors, or limit our console to a mere 256 colors, in Windows 10 Insiders Build #14931, we’ve updated the Windows Console to support full, glorious 24-bit RGB true color! This is actually a little tricky to demo since most Windows apps only support 16 colors at most whereas the Linux world has broadly supported 256 col...

Answer : ImageMagick is a light-weight tool that can be used for this. Here is an example that croppes all jpg images in a directory and puts the results in a new folder: cd path/to/dir/ mogrify -crop +100+10 -quality 100 -path ../cropped *.jpg Here, 100 pixels from the left border and 10 pixels from the top are removed. See here for more information on how to use crop. Have you tried XnCovert? XnConvert is free cross-platform batch image processor, allowing you to combine over 80 actions. Compatible with 500 formats. It uses the batch processing module of XnViewMP and it is freeware and you can donate them if you find it useful. https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/

Answer : Disable the hibernation mode and Fast Boot in Windows. Open command prompt as administrator and execute : powercfg /h off Open the legacy version of the Windows Control Panel (not the modern version). Select Energy Settings , enable show hidden settings and uncheck Fast Boot. After having done this - shutdown the computer completely - do NOT reboot. Boot into the BIOS and select Ubuntu as the default operating system to boot. Update : In case there is no Ubuntu entry to be found in the BIOS / UEFI settings, re-install the GRUB boot loader to your Ubuntu installation in EFI mode. Boot from the Ubuntu installation media - open a terminal and execute: sudo mount /dev/sdXXX /mnt sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/boot/efi for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done sudo chroot /mnt grub-install /dev/sdX update-grub Note: sdX = disk | sdXX = efi partition | sdXXX = system partition To identify the partition numbers use G...

Answer : This Registry key manages fonts that the system knows about: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts I discovered in an older answer that removing a value of that key or changing a value's data to point to a nonexistent file will make Windows not see the font as usable. Therefore, if you remove the Registry entries that correspond to the fonts you want to torch (and then restart to make the system reload everything), you should be able to delete the fonts' files. If the above does not work on Windows 10, you can also STOP and DISABLE the following two services: Windows Font Cache Service Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 Reboot your computer, delete the font files, and re-enable the services by setting the Startup Type back to 'Manual'.

Answer : I had some problems using DavMail (mainly with the tray icon). And the calendar was not easy to use. So I've searched deeper. And I found TbSync which works well together with the EAS Provider. It works out of the box. No technical configuration no background process. I just gave my account and password and everything else was detected. Addresses and Calendars are now working like a charm. The only tips you should know with TbSync is that after installing it (as an Tools → Add-ons ) the configuration can be accessed from Tools → Synchronization Settings (TbSync) : ... or alternatively under Tools → Add-on Options → TbSync : The easiest way that I have found is to use the Davmail connector. This is a Java applet that runs in the background on your Windows 10 PC. To Thunderbird it looks like IMAP for receiving email, SMTP for sending it, and LDAP for address book queries. On the Office365 side it talks the native protocols. I've been using it for about five years ...

Answer : Update 2018: Warning about Taskbar Breakage I just reinstalled Windows 10 Pro and followed all the prescribed steps (both removing Cortana and removing all store apps) and it still works as prescribed. It bears mentioning that removing Cortana will break the Default Taskbar in weird ways. It doesn't break Windows Search - so Explorer search still works in my experience. I've, personally, always replaced the default taskbar with Classic Start (linked via Ninite installer) and have no issues in day-to-day Windows usage otherwise. Update: Remove Cortana via "TakeOwn" Apparently, this trick stopped working at some point. I've used @Meferdati's link at some point successfully: winaero: how to uninstall Cortona. It contains a script that does all the work for you, as well as an explanation of how it works. Below are the steps I've been using, which are very similar to @MC10's answer, except I've always had to "TakeOwn" t...

Answer : Disclaimer: The Update Orchestrator Service is tied to Windows Update. Changing the registry may cause problems with Windows Update and associated services. So if you don't know what the registry does I recommend not to mangle with registry and services. All Windows services have some security to control their permissions and user interactions. Security is managed through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SERVICE_NAME\Security and RequiredPrivileges registry. If there are some permissions denied in Service Manager (aka. services.msc ) then Startup Type can be changed using the registry. Use the following command to change startup type of that ``UsoSvc` service. set X=UsoSvc reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\%X%" /V "Start" /T REG_DWORD /D "4" /F What does the command do? reg add command adds (or changes) the Start DWORD registry in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsoSvc registry path. The ...

Answer : Just spent last two hours trying to figure this out. First go to Control Panel (not Settings app) Go to Adjust Screen Resolution. You will get a similar window as you did in Windows 7. Click Detect Go to display Drop Down and select "Display Device on VGA" Select Desired Resolution. If windows is unable to save your settings use the software from your video card to adjust the resolution. If you aren't able to output the display to the Fake screen only, Press Windows+P and the select "Second display only" I hope this helps. This is by far not the ideal solution, but for now it will do: I put a 102 Ohm resistor across pins 2 and 7 of my VGA port (also known as the headless Mac Mini trick), and Windows 10 now believes I have a second monitor attached. On a different computer I had to use pins 1 and 6 and reboot before the "monitor" would work. I had the same problem and came up with a fairly simple solution: Just connect your p...
