    Windows 10 autologin with a Microsoft account + work account attached

    So after all that it still doesn't work, and although Bing also told me about the Sysinternals Autologon tool that doesn't work either. And after doing all of the above it still didn't actually disable PIN login so I had to do that manually using yet another dumb workaround - which doesn't seem...

    Windows 10 autologin with a Microsoft account + work account attached

    Considered it, but was wondering what I had to put in there and Google wasn't turning up anything much from the cursory search I did. Any links would be appreciated, but I'll search again.

    Oh yeah - I forgot to mention, I'm also missing the Passwordless registry entries.

    Windows 10 autologin with a Microsoft account + work account attached

    Short question, HOW?!?!? Long question, I need a Windows 10 PC to auto login while signed in with a Microsoft account, WITH a work account attached since all the usual methods don't appear to work. Currently what happens is: a) If I set AutoAdminLogon + user/password in the registry, all those...

    What is the worst chair you ever purchased?

    Herman Miller Embody. Ergonomic it ain't - it's probably the chair that most encourages slouching for me. Tha's a key issue, but build quality is also very poor especially if you've had things fall off, latches break etc and have had to get it rebuilt/repaired - it's easy to see how certain...

    Importing W10 Hyper-V VM's into VMWare Workstation Pro 16

    Bought WP16 to do this on a new machine and assumed I could use the standalone converter, couldn't find it, googled a bit more and found that it's been deprecated. What I'm trying to do is to migrate some regular ol' W10 Hyper-V VM's into Workstation 16 Pro on another machine. The exported...

    Suggestions needed for gaming headset.

    Personally I found the lack of distractions a bigger factor than the soundstage helping (it's fine for gaming - I think the 'openness' aspect is overrated) - when I first got them I was gaming on/off on various phones - including HE/V90's, HD800's and T1Mk1 with antlions, mainly because I could...

    Suggestions needed for gaming headset.

    Big fan of the MMX300. I had two of the originals which lasted for almost ten years (If I wanted to rebuild them completely - which is possible, since there are spares - I could, but let's face it, I'd had my money's worth). Looked around, but replaced with the V2's. I did have an issue with...

    Z87-Deluxe/Dual Bluetooth in Windows 10

    Question: Does it need the wifi aerial to work? I have an old PC with this mobo that I'd like to connect a wireless keyboard to. I've got the wifi antenna detached because it broke and I don't use wifi on the PC - and while the "Bluetooth USB Module" and "Bluetooth Device" is detected in W10...

    Probook 430 G5. GbE, USB-C, 1080p, 8th gen i5, PCI-E SSD + 2.5" slot (you'll need a drive mount kit tho). Decent runtime. Screen's nothing special but is IPS.

    Best laptop for someone is not a gamer?

    X1 Yoga OLED. It's a great laptop to start with, but it can be more. Only the fact that I actually use it detached often means the Surface Book is usually my laptop of choice.

    I already have way better than that, which is why I'm asking. But I think the more detailed reviews now out - thanks for the links - answers a lot of my questions. And I think it'd be a good fit. I guess it's just a matter of when I start teh replacement cycle and where the state of Optane is...

    It's rather amusing that you'd defend mechs as being very varied, and completely ignore the fact that domes also differ immensely. Thus are niche enthusiasts made though, lol

    PC guy. Bought my first Mac for Dev work....Surprised

    I have the 2016 MBP's and MB's. They're only used when I need to. The keyboard is an acquired taste, I've no real functioal issues but I think it will result in longer-term problems for anyone, even touch typists - I see similar problemsas with long-term mech users (I love how it's popular...

    VLAN confusion

    Update: I dunno what I did but the switch has an IP address on VLAN 10!!!! Woohoo! Will be re-powering up the VM and Wifi AP tomorrow to see if it works. Maybe just stepping through all the settings while working through this thread made me turn on something that I'd turned off by mistake or...

    VLAN confusion

    There really isn't much to it either - In the DHCP Server page, I've Enabled DHCP Server, Enable Conflict Detection, and added a single DHCP Server Lease Scope - my IP range, bound to interface X0:V10. I've left off "Allow BOOTP Clients to use Range".

    VLAN confusion

    No - again, because I wanted the VLAN on the same physical port as X0. I linked to what I actually did in the video above.

    VLAN confusion

    The default VLAN is 1. All the 'normal' devices are on VLAN 1 in effect, and the switch settings were as default Untagged for each port on VLAN 1. I added the second VLAN 10 and Tagged the appropriate ports for the devices, including the router port. The Sonicwall router is, as pointed out...

    VLAN confusion

    That's what I thought, which is presumably why I shouldn't Tag the defaut VLAN. The problem is, when I Tag the added VLAN 10, nuthin'. The switch isn't picking up an IP on the added VLAN from the router, and the VM PC can't ping the router when I have the VLAN settings in Hyper-V set to the...

    VLAN confusion

    Yeah, but having the default VLAN (1) tagged on the switch for the router port means that I will need to explicitly tag every device on the network with it's own VLAN...? That's not practical. Am I going about this the completely wrong way? As for the port configuration page, it's literally a...

    VLAN confusion

    So I'd set both default and added VLAN to Tagged for all the ports involved? But that killed all communication with the default VLAN (i.e. when I set the default VLAN on router port to Tagged and also the added VLAN to Tagged) the last time I tried. EDIT: and as I wrote above, if I set the...

    VLAN confusion

    This I understand, but again - what is the setting for it on the 2910? I have No, Untagged, Tagged and Forbid as the only options for each port per VLAN (including the default VLAN, for which the default is Untagged for each port and subsequent VLANS being No for each port).

    VLAN confusion

    Well, the easiest way since I have multiple external IP addresses would be for me just to jam on another router on the external switch (which I have) and patch a connection from the desktop / wireless AP to there. But no, this has now become a Thing I Must Do To Confirm I'm Not A Total Dumbass...

    VLAN confusion

    I need to VPN into a work network. Problem: They have the exact same internal network as I do. I figured "hey no problemo, I'll set up a VLAN with a totally different network on my switch / router so I can put a work laptop / desktop on it." Thing is, while I'm aware of the concept of a VLAN...

    Z87-Deluxe/Dual USB3 ports failed. Added PCIe USB3.0 card. Oddness thereafter.

    The 3.0 ports have worked since I built this thing. And as I said, they haven't stopped working - it's just that they seem to have magically become 2.0 ports since the Startech card was put in.

    Z87-Deluxe/Dual USB3 ports failed. Added PCIe USB3.0 card. Oddness thereafter.

    So I came across something that appears to be well documented on this mobo - the 4 Asmedia USB3.0 ports on the motherboard failing. The Z87 as configured (with the Define XL case) has a total of 6 (2 intel, 4 Asmedia failed) USB3.0 ports at the rear and 2 (Intel) on the case front. The mobo...
