We’re on 1709 edu and no reports of issues as yet... but there is time [emoji1]

Breaking News!! EWP 3 will be released in September. The finishing touches have all but finished, beta testing complete. Just the config editor to finish off then release is imminent. I’m hoping you will enjoy it as much as I have had designing/building it.

We had the same issue with new Dell 7460 AIO, our issue was because we are using 4K Interactive displays , the default Hertz is 30, so creates flickering issues in certain apps. In the new DCH driver set, yes they have dropped the older CPL style app for a Windows Store app, but doesn’t support changing the refresh rate. So in the end I decided to use the previous driver from Dell that was not labelled as DCH. Moving forward I’m sure Intel will beef up the Store App for future builds. This one we used is for UHD 610 and 630 intel graphics, so should be ok for you. http:// https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04898022M/3/Intel-UHD-Graphics-610-630-Series-Driver_4D4T6_WIN_23.20.16.4973_A01.EXE I can’t remember how I installed it but if the normal way fails, just extract the driver and force the install via device manager.

All sorted, the hard disk was still an MBR volume, so converted it to GPT and re-enabled secure boot in BIOS.

Just got to finish up writing up the documentation as most of the config options have changed.

From tomorrow onwards, just drop me an email [emoji1303]

Ok folks, BIG UPDATE NEWS!! I’ve been beavering away solid for the last month and I’m pleased to say that if all goes well, I’m releasing EWP3 on September 1st. But before I can do that I need some beta testers to put themselves forward to have a play with it, try and break it, provide as much feedback as you can. If you want to beta test then drop me an email to [email protected] with subject beta or beta test, so I can filter them easily. Any suggestions or bugs please email them as well. Do not post them here as this thread is massive as it is :-) Thanks

Can only be driver or service at that point.

Assume nothing - ask the author! Is the best way to go, I agree having though about it long enough [emoji23]

At the same time it’s not classed as commercial, in terms of non-commercial refers to academic. So if something says do not use for commercial purposes that tells me a school can use it as long as the end product does result in a commercial/financial gain.

Any type of RAID has its advantages and disadvantages but which ever you choose always remember RAID is not a substitute for backups. Always think about whether you can backup what you intend to run on the new server. But for what it’s worth, 6 or 10 for me.

For me “personal use” means you cannot distribute or use in commercial products. Reason I say this is like this, how is installing a font on a school PC for multiple people to use for private personal use any different that installing the font on home PC that has multiple users on it?

We are still on 1709 for this very reason. One minute the internet is fine and next it’s stopped. And it’s down to an issue with the cryptography service and specific registry permissions. If you were to restart the service remotely the internet would start working again. So we skipped builds 1803,1809 and have deployed 1903 on a small selection on PCs with the hope that this issue has been resolved. With regards the registry keys, this below has fixed it for some people so you could try it: 1. Open Run and type in regedit 2. Go here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ 3. Right-click ProtectedRoots > Permissions and pick your account . Tick Allow Full Control 4. Right-click Root and Export 5. Open Task Manager > stop Cryptographic Service and Delete Root(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\) key in Regedit. 6. Restart your Windows. I’ve also seen that Disabling user trusted root CAs can fix the issue with these reg entries: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots] "Flags"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots] "PeerUsages"=hex(7):31,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,36,00,2e,00,31,00,2e,00,35,00,2e,\ 00,35,00,2e,00,37,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,32,00,00,00,31,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,\ 36,00,2e,00,31,00,2e,00,35,00,2e,00,35,00,2e,00,37,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,34,\ 00,00,00,31,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,36,00,2e,00,31,00,2e,00,34,00,2e,00,31,00,\ 2e,00,33,00,31,00,31,00,2e,00,31,00,30,00,2e,00,33,00,2e,00,34,00,00,00,00,\ 00 Or if you wish to try GPO way: Group Policy Management: go ... Windows Settings>Security Settings>Public Key Policies> Certificate Path Validation Settings> check Define Policy Settings> uncheck Allow user trusted root CAs, accept, done. Hopefully I have given you enough to go on with.

Ok great thanks, will have a play. Will set them in a GPO and apply then to both 1709 and 1903 to see if works on both..

Will take a look thanks, how do you know if the 30 secs elapses? Eventlogs? Please wait on blue screen stays on for longer?

Ok thanks, going to upgrade one pc to 1903 and see what happens. We do have a policy turned on regarding cached logins so if we turn it off it may improve things a little...

Hi all, Anybody else overcome the issue we’re having above? We have just installed windows 10 edu 1709 and the PCs don’t wait for the network and thus fail to load startup scripts. I’ve tried the usual startup delay network stuff in the GPOs, UNC hardening paths, netbios dns record to a DC IP etc, turned off the Hibernation/fast startup stuff, all no good. The only way I can solve it is to put a delay script as a local startup GPO on each PC. This is not ideal, and the issue only seems to happen on PCs with SSD drives. Any help? Thanks

Hi All, I've search on here for people with the same issue as me and its seems to be an issue with the realtek driver along with Windows 10. I have just re-imaged a lab of computers and now when they are shutdown, they get the dreaded "Hard Disk 3F0 error" when I send a WOL packet to each PC. I never had this issue with Windows 7 on these PCs, so I leads me to believe its a Realek GBE driver issue, that is struggling to turn on a PC from an S5 soft off state. Funny thing is that if I turn off the power and back on again, I can boot the PCs with a WOL packet. Did anyone else have the same issue and has solved it? The BIOS and network card drivers are all setup correctly for WOL as it works once the mains switch is turned off the on again. Thanks Andy

Congratulations and all the best! Thanks for all your help with EWP..

To be honest I have thought about it, and maybe one day I will once I feel in need help or I have taken the project as far as I can. It’s one of those things where you spend so much time invested in something that you don’t want to let go and give others a chance to rip it off. Let’s see what the future holds! [emoji3]

You can set the font to what ever size you like and you can all zoom into the document whilst keeping the font at normal regular size. Yes you can download it from here, if you go back through the last couple of pages, you should find v2.6.8.0

I will be adding this into the documentation for version 3 out later this year. But please feel free to download as FREEWARE. ExamWritePad will always be free to download and free to use.

Where did you download the desktop version from?

WLAN groups is the way to go, we do it on the older zonedirector 9.8 firmware.

I think the audio player will have to be thought about after the framework for EWP3 is done and coding is under way. I far say .NetFramework has good enough basic media controls available to do the job but will investigate further down the line. Interesting thought though a built in media player, but is how far do you go as next time it will be “can you build in a screen reader” etc....
