Launch Windows Desktop as a separate browser process.  Why?

We are therefore implementing a pilot project VDI.  We streamline our process of creating image and I leaned upward performance settings and the guidelines for additional ideas on several different guides, I saw that it is recommended to configure the virtual machine to start the office as a separate process Explorer.  The implementation is not a problem, the question I have is why?  Is there something VDI where this would be a particular value?  This is for performance or just isolation\stability? I just want to understand the why, before, I implemented the how.

Thank you!

Is there something about VDI that this would make more valuable?

Probably not.  One thing that I've learned about people, once they find something that works, they are not interested in change, even if it means it's extra work.  It was probably necessary when VDI is out, or maybe it was on a version of Windows that is has not been fully supported.  So they have found a work-around, never really tried with a newer version of Windows and guess that this is still a requirement.

I looked at these docs, I see no evidence, there must be a separate process to explore.  I think they do it because that's how they did it, and I think this rather lazy.  Things change, why not process?

    The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

  • Problem installing KB980408 - set up the parameters for custom: Windows Desktop Update

    After installing KB980408, the computer restarts, goes through the normal boot process, displays the Windows logo, and then goes to a black screen with a window:

    Custom settings

    Implementation of the custom settings for:

    The Windows Desktop Update

    and stay on it indefinitely (4 + hours so far). Moving the mouse on the screen shows the circular cursor "wait", and I am able to move the window around; I am also able to start the Task Manager and restart, but that's all.

    So I thought another reboot may solve the problem, but it doesn't... it keeps just hung to this window.

    No matter who else affected by it, or have solutions to try?

    I had this same problem on both machines. During his connection, this behavior began immediately after the KB980408 update has been installed. The solution I found is to ctrl + alt + delete, start taskmgr and kill the task of custom settings. Then you have to manually run explorer.exe (file--> Run--> Explorer.exe) and windows should load as usual. The next time that I rebooted and logged in Windows loaded as usual. I'm guessing that this problem is a "run once" task. However, updates are not supposed to make your computer more stable?

    Hello Mohan,

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    These errors often occur if there are incorrect BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings.

    Method 1: Check if the computer startup options are changed in the BIOS. You can set the hard drive as the first boot device. In addition, make sure that this option "Wake on LAN" or one similar to it is off.

    Method 2: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer.

     

    Important : Change/update BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • Y at - it a fix for leak of VRAM in Windows Desktop? (Windows media Encoder and photo IE10 Viewer are the root of the problem)

    It seems that Windows media Encoder and photo IE10 Viewer are the root of the problem, and it is about the whole MS Platform in desktop for what anyone associated media.  As easy as it is to use another browser or image viewer I find I like the windows photo viewer ability to preview multiple images and IE10 and 11 are more now then fix everything that exists.

    The issue is having to restart or log out and back in just pass leak VRAM that can go up to 1400 MB and count. What said GPU - Z and ESTR.  The memory of the system seems to be in check most of the time.  Get off my GPU memory Windows.

    I mean leak even with the left running only windows desktop and essential tasks to keep it that way.  I have games that will never saturate 1.5 GB of video memory on my setup.

    Hello

    This could be really basic, but I can't seem to get by:

    I just installed VMware 8 on a new Macbook Pro (OS El Capitan).

    I then installed Windows 7, apparently successfully, all the way up to Windows installation was finished and I went to open the virtual machine for the first time.  The office opened very well, but when I went to maximize this mode full-screen, I essentially disappeared.  She is obviously still ongoing, as he urged on antivirus McFee, that I installed it successfully.

    In the library, the virtual machine appears grey, with a basket and McFee icon.

    Screen Shot 2016-03-29 at 8.02.37 AM.png

    I tried to uninstall the machine and install again, but the same thing happened...

    Any ideas?

    In fact, here is a better description of what's going on...

    You are in mode of "unity".

    It is a "cache" mode the windows desktop and allows access to applications as they were Mac apps.

    In your menu bar, there is an icon for the merge, and you can launch Windows apps from there.

    Alternatively, you can simply use "Single window" or mode "full screen" for the traditional windows back office.

    The button to switch is in the "View" menu

    Hope that helps!
