General Software Discussion / Windows 10 Home Sandbox and Hyper-V

« on: May 23, 2019, 09:00 AM »

Virtualization with Windows 10 Home

Tip I read on a dutch website: www.SchoonePC.nl
Video: https://www.youtube....EcSGEnI&t=15m49s
but the source is a german site mentioned below.

Do you work with Windows 10 Home 1903 and do you also want to work with Windows Sandbox or HyperV? The necessary program files are also supplied with Windows 10 Home, but are inaccessible by default. The installation script for Sandbox and the installation script for Hyper-V can be downloaded as a ZIP file and after unzipping them execute the batch files (with a right mouse click) as administrator, and both tools can be accessed in the same way as with Windows 10 Pro.

Sandbox: https://www.deskmodd...allieren-und-nutzen/
ZIP: https://www.deskmodd...andbox-installer.zip

We have described the requirements for the Windows Sandbox in our Wiki. These must be present, otherwise the sandbox can be installed, but not activated. The fact that this function can be retrofitted in the Home is due to the fact that all the files for it are already present.

Hyper-V: https://www.deskmodd...-hyper-v-aktivieren/
ZIP: https://www.deskmodd...yper-v-installer.zip

Of course, this requires a current CPU that has integrated the Intel VT or AMD-V hardware virtualization functions. The Data Execution Prevention (DEP) supports a 64-bit processor (can be looked up in the bios and activated if necessary) and of course enough Ram.

Check whether hardware virtualization is enabled via the Task Manager, Performance tab, Processor sub. If not, make sure that the UEFI/BIOS hardware supports virtualization (look for an option such as VT-x, Virtualization Technology, Virtualization Extensions or AMD-V) and make sure the option is activated.

General Software Discussion / Re: looking for a simple windows app to track time

« on: May 21, 2019, 11:55 AM »

I used ProcrastiTracker: http://strlen.com/procrastitracker/

It's an automated time tracker

At the end of the day you can filter your data

The setup is only 400 KB and it's freeware

More info about the programmer: http://strlen.com/

General Software Discussion / Enable Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) In Windows 10 Home Edition

« on: February 08, 2019, 04:23 AM »

I recently found this tip to enable group policy editor (gpedit.msc) in Windows 10 Home Edition (standard only available in the PRO edition)

No other downloads except this script
All other files are already available on your Windows 10 Home machine

Run the script in admin mode.
It takes a couple of minutes and after execution it is advised to reboot your PC

I tested this with my Windows 10 PC with the latest october 2018 update and it worked fine

Hope you can use it too

Have a nice day

General Software Discussion / Tutorial: How to Increase The Size of The Menu Bars in Windows 10

« on: March 22, 2016, 05:49 AM »

I could realy use this info and maybe some other members: Simple Help website

With just a few clicks, you can resize the “menus” in Windows 10 so that they’re much more visible (and way easier to click and/or “tap”).

The default font size = 9 and I changed it to 10 but you can choose another size if you like.

Have a nice day

I've also got lifetime licenses for OSS but stopped using it a few years ago when the then current version was bogging down the system.

Also have no interest in Kaspersky but may as well take them up on the offer so I can have the benefit of yet another unused license

Thanks, but no thanks.
I totally disagree!
