Of the Windows Logo key + L = lock keyboard

On this basis it is possible that your Windows key of the Logo is entirely (or intermittently) sticking down?

  • 8.5.1 LabVIEW Student Edition - differences between the Mac and Windows versions?

    Hello

    I just bought the student of LabVIEW 8.5.1 version and I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions, since the box came with a CD of installation of Mac and a Windows DVD Installer?

    See you soon

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.

    It comes with 6 boxes to tools, and the TME product, some (or all?) of those who are windows only (at least 8.5), for example:

    • Toolkit Digital Filter Design
    • Modulation Toolkit
    • SignalExpress
    • ...

    Since you have 8.5, you are missing also a few basic things that only recevied at the 8.6MAC support, like Mathscript, Control design and Simulation and native 3D graphics.

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion laptop g7-2017us running Windows 7 Enterprise. October 18,2012, HP maintenance program informed me that he had to update my BIOS. HP maintenance program had not updated of the BIOS.  See my BIOS is F.08 (dated 03/05/12).  Manually, I been looking for the latest BIOS and found that it was identical to what is installed on my computer.  It seems that software of diagnosis of HP gave me false alarms.

  • How to monitor the process and Windows activities

    Hello world

    I'm a player who plays full-screen. Some process or app steals focus once every few hours, unpredictable. This me tabs effectively out of my game on the desktop. It is only an annoyance, but yet, it's a real nuisance to do without good reason.

    Anything that flies focus leaves no trace of what it was, as far as I can tell. I'm just at the level of the office. (Exactly how I see what Win7 thinks has focus, if nothing seems?)

    I guess it's a thread that checks the updates, or some other thing, what has been written amateur and does well with games. Some games are also poorly written in terms of, what happens if something else could mess with the office or ask for focus. My guess is that it is a collision of stuff poorly written, but who knows.

    To make a long story short, is there anything I can do to see just how * had * focus (focus on the past), even if it's over now?

    I highly doubt that it is one of the major applications that I am running. I usually only Word and Excel 2013, Chrome and Windows Explorer to the top. I really doubt that this is one of them, but maybe. Who knows.

    It would be very difficult to test for that is happening, because it is very unpredictable. Also real inconvenient to keep my other applications closed for hours. This is why I ask if there is another way to catch the culprit himself, not all turn in everything.

    Thanks if you can help!

    HI Yann,

    Thanks to you, I was able to use the event viewer on Win7 / Windows Logs / request to see that I was being thrown out of my game on the desktop when the so-called SelfServicePlugin.exe "on the road". I checked in the Task Manager / process and saw that it is a Citrix Receiver background utility.

    Citrix Receiver (v. 4.1.0.56461, (c) 2013) is the remote software we use to open a session in our local network of work at home, however, the plugin is something all the time, not just at the point where it is actually using Citrix. I guess that it speeds up the loading time of Citrix, or whatever. (It seems that every piece of software must have a connection online if used or not, these days.) And no, I wasn't playing games when remoting to work, laughing. As I said, the receiver is there all the time; I was spilled on the desk in the evenings, etc.

    If I unload the plugin, I stop unexpectedly, the abandonment of game (and Citrix always starts very well).

    So, apparently, it is just this sloppily written plugin. I guess it is not surprising that something related to work don't care effect on the games, even after hours, laughing.

    Now that I know what it is - and it's not malware - it's so much easier to deal with.

    Thanks for hanging in there and answering the question directly to me! It helped a ton.

  • Laptop screen stays black with the mouse cursor only after that comes the HP and Windows logo

    Hi all

    No, my laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6 1337tx. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. So, today, I shut my laptop down by force by pressing the power button because it did not at this time. Then the next time I turned it the wrong problem started. Whenever I'm on the HP logo sometimes and then the Windows logo comes also. But then the screen stays black and the mouse cursor appears. So, what can be the cause of this problem? I also tried to open with 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with command prompt', but they did not help either.

    Note - I tried the method of discharge after taking off the battery and holding down the power button. He could not help. All LEDS are working properly. I have no extra monitor, so I can't check the display elsewhere. Also, I ran the memory test which shows that everything is fine. Please suggest what I can do now as I can not enter the laptop now. What can be the reason?

  • High utilization of the processor and Windows without end research update

    I worked with computers for my whole life.  I'm 7 courses away from completing my bachelor's degree in ITM to include coming soon obtaining of Certifications.  This problem, on one of the computers in my own office, cause me endless frustrations as well as the fact that me, unable to find and implement a solution helps me feel completely incompetent.  Me reaching out to everyone here is a terrible blow for I feel on my own knowledge base because it seems as if the fix can be easy, and I feel as if I am missing something obvious.  That being said here is the issue I am running in:

    On my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I have no intention of upgrading for various reasons, I notice that my CPU usage and the physical memory usage vary from 60% to almost 100% when I run no applications, which is a more recent symptom and severely hampers my system.  After having reduced the problem of the use to only one of the "svchost.exe" process and the "wuauserv" Service within this process labeled as Windows Update, I confirmed that it was this Service initially at least the question of the use of the CPU by arresting him, I went ahead and ran a manual update of Windows only to find out he's looking for new updates constantly.  The ever green status bar stops moving, or it never gets past that point.  First of all, I advanced and erased the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, after you stop the Services, than to have the same problem.  I have never received any type of error on the part of Windows Update code he has yet to reach a point of not not looking for updates.  I also have the chance to try to remove some updates recently installed in an effort to clear all possible corrupt files so that they can be reinstalled to no effect.  The same problem persists.  I am confident, it is a problem of Windows Update and also confident, it's a registry problem, but I struggle to trust one of the edition of solutions that I met in my quest for answers to the registry.  Also, I noticed that after having messed around with patches previously indicated, that my Documents Word from Microsoft do not open when I double-click on it, however, I am still able to open Word and open an existing document to the program itself.  This is a very new symptom, and I'm not sure if it's related.  It is my hope that a new installation of Windows won't be necessary.

    Please let me know diagnostic programs I might need to run to narrow down the issue.  Thanks in advance for all the help I can get on this.

    Hi Llysanth:

    If your initial "check for updates..." Windows Update crashes during long periods without raising an error, this is a widespread problem currently affecting many SP2 of Vista and Win 7 SP1 users.  On my Vista 32 bit system, I see a constant consumption of ~ 50% of my CPU by Windows Update (wuauserv) service which runs under the svchost.exe process (i.e., the saturation full of one of my two hearts) during thecheck for updates...'and Sysinternals Process Explorer shows that the Windows Update Agent (c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll) consumes all CPU - to see my images in Kayla77 thread processes in the Manager during updates tasks to day in the VistaForums.

    Some users find 'verification of the updates... ' will be held eventually in the end if you let it run for several hours, but there is also a workaround solution posted on the page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ that accelerates the Windows Update for the affected users. Of workaround requires users to install the updated Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) listed on this webpage so one is missing from your system before running Windows Update.  I used Dalai for the latest Patch workaround three Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) and has reduced my search for 'check for updates...' updates available for 6 or 7 hours up to approx. 25 min.

    The step by step instructions Posted June 16, 2016 wire m #l's updates works do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours are based on workaround of Dalai and will guide you through the installation process of packages update stand-alone (.msu files) for your updates Win32K.sys missing.

    As of today page is Web (August 31, 2016) the current list of updates Win32K.sys on Dalai: KB3078601 (rel. 18 August 2015); KB3109094 (rel. 7 December 2015); KB3145739 (rel. 12 April 2016); KB3164033 (rel. June 14, 2016); KB3168965 (rel. July 12, 2016); KB3177725 (rel. 9 August 2016). Just install updates are missing from your system, so if you have been fully patched at the end of July 2016 you need to manually install the latest KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016) before you run Windows Update to install your remaining August 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.

    Dalai has posted General information that explains why the Windows Update Agent is currently suspended during the "checking for updates..." Windows Update.

    Someone knows how to fix this problem, so I can choose my taskbar, the color and opacity settings?

    Was one of these updates for a video driver?  If that were the case, you might want to go back to the previous driver in Device Manager.

    On the same note, ensuring that you have the latest video driver is also important if it wasn't one of the updates.

    Then, you should try to restart the DWM and ensuring that it is auto-start.

    In the search box, type "services".

    When the window appears, select services and check for the Desktop Windows Manager.  Try to restart it.  Then right click on the entry and make sure that it is auto-start.
