    I want to program windows in such a way that the pc shuts off automatically after 2 hours of start-up rather than specify a time given the day of the task schedular system.

    Schedule the following command to run when you connect to the computer:

    Shutdown.exe/t 7200

    When this command is executed, it will schedule a shutdown to happen after 7200 seconds (2 hours if I did my math right).

  • How to program the search indexer to run when it is convenient for ME rather than on the computer

    Is it possible to put the search indexer to run only at certain times of the day when I'm NOT at the computer and the constant grinding of my HDD does not bother me? It also tends to cause a lot of heat and make my computer fans to kick in "high speed" which is really noisy.
    He plunges me nuts, because it seems to kick when I'm in the middle of an intense operation of the drive, and that slows things down.

    I can't find it in the scheduled tasks, and only function in time of inactivity is obviously broken. If I can't plan sound at times, can I set it so I have to manually trigger?

    Otherwise, just benefits are not worth the aggravation. I always check the Task Manager and resource monitor to see why my hard drive is grinding suddenly like crazy and my disk performance or my system just slowed down, just to see that runnning svchosts or searchprotocolhost.exe or searchindexer.

    Yes, you can. I find also quite annoying as well as I use my PC as a media extender, and the impacts of the playback quality when it is used.

    Create two files of orders (startindexer.bat and stopindexer.bat)

    In stopindexer, type the line

    net stop wsearch

    In the startindexer enter the line

    net start wsearch

    Now create 2 scheduled tasks to run the first batch file that stops the service every day at some point. The other for the throw upward at a time you do not use the computer. Point to note. You can run tasks scheduled under the system account otherwise you probably will not have rights to stop and start the service.

    It works very well.

    Assalamou Aleikom Khader,

    If you read the manuals provided by Ajmal, you would see that to enter a request, you must install the Vision Acquisition accompanied by your capture card software.

    You can capture images using either NI LABVIEW, NI LabWindows/CVI or Visual Studio.NET via IMAQdx APIs provided with image acquisition.

    If you want to image processing, you can consider using murin Module NI Vision at the same time in the previous language that you choose. You can also find in the link posted a vision resources kit which is a good start in the development of machine vision applications.

    No, the vCenter Server has no option to run Powershell scripts in its scheduled tasks. If your vCenter runs on a windows server, you can of course configure the task in windows Task Scheduler.

  • Toshiba 40L3451DB - how to program the distance "My Buttons"?

    Since my TV has the fault where it does not open the Cloud TV without ID every time, I want to program a few applications to the buttons of the remote control.

    As standard, when I press my button 1, the YouTube app is launched. According to the manual, I'm supposed to hold the button for 5secs on the link I want to put it. I can't find any way of setting the my button for any other application, assigning only selects the currently watched channel. Ideally, I want to program a button to select the IPlayer.

    Any ideas?

    User manual said that these buttons can have default functions depending on the model. But you can define a special function to these buttons you press them for five seconds when on a desired source, chain, or link.

    A confirmation message will appear on the screen.
    Now the selected button is associated with the selected function.
    Unfortunately, I have not found all the details that you can assign a single application button

    Note that if you perform the first installation, MY BUTTON 1 and 2 will return to their default function.
