ticktock

Sleep is terrible, as mentioned above, waking really early and not getting back to sleep.

Working at home from today. I only live 10 mins from school so can pop in if I need too. Only 6 kids in school and 8 staff but I suspect that will decrease. Been quite busy resetting passwords and helping staff with bits and bats. Credit to our Head who has worked her socks off and led from the front.

Small secondary school, 650 pupils, 80 staff. Approx 400 PCs and associated infrastructure. Just me (used to be 2 until redundancies a couple of years ago), run off my feet most days. Staff still expect the same level of support as if we still had 2 staff. Promised an apprentice but didn't materialise.

Just office 2019 not supported by Capita http://www.capitaess.co.uk/home/TechnicalRoadmap-May-2019.pdf

If you are running sims office 2019 isn't supported until summer. I think everyone is aware now of the need to move from W7. Some of us are a tad behind due to under resourcing (and redundancies), but we will get there!

Hi. Does anyone know how to get rid of "open with microsoft edge" from the menu below in IE11.

I tried this instead of delprof2, seems to work ok and no problems since....yet! $Exclusions = “NetworkService”,”LocalService”,”systemprofile”,"other profiles you want to exclude" Get-CimInstance win32_userprofile -filter "special = false"| Where-Object { $_.LocalPath.split('\')[-1] -notin $Exclusions} | Remove-CimInstance

Forget the above, it's just not consistent. I'm just getting random results. I deleted the test profile, rebooted and now the icon works but the calculator faults. I'm either going to have to use a 3rd party calculator or LTSC. I suspect there won't be issues until there is a need to delete profiles.

Yes running on each login, no delay to login speed. It also doesn't seem to affect profiles that have already been logged in. I did have to set the GPO policy to run scripts immediately at login or there is a 5 min delay. I've got a problem with the calculator tile itself now, it displays ok for a few seconds then grays out and underlines! I think the issue is that something is left behind after profile deletion causing the machine to think that apps have already been provisioned next time you login with a profile that has previously been deleted.

You were correct that didn't work! but I found this: https://superuser.com/questions/1481644/windows-10-uwp-apps-launch-and-then-disappear-immediately I put the powershell code contained in the link to execute at login and it worked. It seems if you delete a profile in W10 and then log back in with profile again it thinks the app has already been provisioned for that user and doesn't do it again. The code provisions the apps again and off we go.

Just found this on Edugeek so going to give it a whirl: $profiles = $null $profiles = Get-WMIObject -class Win32_UserProfile | Where {((!$_.Special) -and ($_.LocalPath -ne "C:\Users\Administrator") -and ($_.LocalPath -ne "C:\Users\UpdatusUser"))} if ($profiles -ne $null) { $profiles | Remove-WmiObject } Exit

Just discovered it's delprof2 causing this. We run it on shutdown, when i log back into the machine as a profile that has been deleted apps fail to launch (calculator etc). If I delete the profile using system properties and user profile everything is fine. Hmmm, need a delprof2 alternative I think.

I've just re-imaged the machine to see if I can break it again. I'll give it a try if I can recreate it.

Yes, I powershelled most of them off.

I'm just doing some testing on W10 Edu 1909. Everything was going well until I noticed the store apps (Calculator, photo viewer etc) started faulting. I followed this https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2798317/microsoft-store-apps-fail-to-start-if-default-registry-or-file-permiss (I am getting issue 2) but couldn't see any problems with GPOs. The weird thing is if I delete the profile (I am using local profiles) it starts to work again. This happens randomly and I have trouble reproducing the error. When one profile stops working others are still ok. The are a few threads on here but mainly to do with roaming profiles. Any help gratefully accepted.

+1 for Epson here. Loads of adjustment (as @Fazza says quick corner is excellent) and very bright.

We had quite a difficult time with AccessIT (although it has settled down now). The support was sporadic at first only being available at certain times as it was based in Australia. We also went through a lot of pain setting up the data transfers from our MIS. They wanted to do it in a very unsecure way which I wouldn't accept. But again this is now sorted. The English Department hated it at first but this was more due to the support and lack of onsite training than the system itself. It has settled down now and I don't get many grumbles.

I have just got home and tried it on my home PC and it's working. I then logged into work on the remote and it's working there as well!!! Must have been Microsoft doing something in the background. Another few hours wasted... Many thanks for your help again @DaveP

Started this afternoon. It won't even let them browse for an attachment just an instant error message. Really weird.

Hi. I have an office 365 account that falls over every time the user tries to attach a file to an email. I was wondering if anyone has seen this before. No other accounts are affected and I have tried on different browsers and different machines. I'm at the point where I'm wondering if the account is corrupt.

I'm going to tell them the software is outdated and won't run on w10. I've also been in contact with Collins who also say it isn't compatible with w10. Thanks again everyone and Happy New Year.

Yes will do. Thanks again everyone for your help.

I've just dropped them an email in the hope they will give me a run time fix. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Many thanks. Just disabled sophos, still not working. There seems to be a .swf called infuze (the name of the developers), when I edit it there is just gobbledegook, I suspect it may be something to do with that.

Bit of a long shot if anyone can help. I have a science teacher that still wants use the Collins New GCSE Science Software (OCR, Additional Sciences and Separate sciences) from 2011 (I know!). This worked fine on W7 but won't even launch when installed on W10. Nothing in the error logs and not a twitch when I click on the icons. The software seems to be made up of .swf files which launch ok if I click on them individually. I've tried every compatibility I can see and no joy. Just before I tell him it's out of date and won't work I though I would run it past fellow Edugeekers!
