Re: Software updater

Until WAU includes this, for my little residential RMM clients, I drop PatchMyPC in my hidden folder and use its Settings to set it to run as a scheduled task every few days. It doesn't update everything out there but it's got a decent list - most of the stuff my clients use at any rate.

Re: All in one portable

Use WinRar to create an SFX file with them in it, and then set it to launch the exe upon unpacking.

Re: <KillNonCriticalProcesses>and/or <KillNonTrustedProcesses> Exceptions for remote work

Sebastian, Fred IS the support/developer of this software.

Do you know where you are on the internet?

Ahhh, you added text to my quote to make it look like I made that statement. Yeah, you're just a spammer and you're reported.

Re: UVK Portable Custom Apps Issue

Hi, Fred. I hadn't even noticed that option had been added in the last while but checked it out today. I'm getting the same thing. Tried adding a simple DOS command to the More section and am unable to edit it once it's been entered. I also cannot Delete it in order to try re-entering the command. A...

Re: Could you maybe prompt the user instead of making assumptions?

You are making some pretty bold assumptions about how I want to go about handling the locked files/folders that I input into the program, and I don't appreciate it. That's not an assumption -- at that point, you had already asked UVK to delete those files. Deliberately and on purpose; "that I ...

Is there a beta version that we could try out on our own systems and help test it out for you?

Re: WAU / MRS ... hybrid? Update/reboot/repeat til done

Honestly hadn't considered a script as I figured the reboots would cancel out the process.

What are you thinking? A script that would run MUA, wait a set amount of time, reboot, and repeat those steps several times? Would it be able to persist over reboots?

WAU / MRS ... hybrid? Update/reboot/repeat til done

I used to use WSUS Offline Updater but, with all the lockdowns and doing a lot more remote work, that's no longer practical. I've thought a bunch of times about asking for this and even thought I had but I'll put it down now.... I've got a few clients that don't turn their PCs on for weeks or even m...

Re: Rebootexec - could it run the watermark without the parameter?

How is it that I've tried running it a bunch of times and I've never seen that window? Tried it again on two PCs and it didn't show a window. I've run MRS and APF on different machines as portable apps, copying over no other files and they've never complained that Rebootexec was not present. Do you ...

Rebootexec - could it run the watermark without the parameter?

I thought I'd use it for remote jobs - send it over for its 'at a glance' info but it seems to need to be run with a "-desktopwatermark" parameter. But it doesn't seem to do anything when called without any parameters (I'm assuming it has other functions). Could the watermark usage be its ...

WAU Manager -- no notifications?

The 'quietest' option is "Show Notifications Only" but how about a completely-silent option? Oh, and since MS puts out most updates on the second Tuesday of the month, could that be some kind of an option in the scheduling? I could set it for this coming Tuesday (2nd of month) but if I set...

Account Profile Fixer -- mostly worked...?

Laptop with a flawed hard drive which I'll replace tomorrow. While it's still booting (but sooo slow), thought I'd try to fix the software-level stuff I see so that the cloning will copy a better version of Windows. Start Menu is glitched with the "critical error - sign out and we'll fix it&quo...

Re: Un-Hide User Accounts on the Windows Login Screen

This is one reason why I usually offer to set up my clients for remote support. In this instance, I'd still be able to use cmd lines in the background and use a Net User command here. I could use things like RegQuery/etc cmds as well if necessary. I'm lucky, though, that I bought into Screenconnect ...

Re: KB4532693 update breaking user profile

KB4537821 for Win8 has a similar effect. Thought the first was a regular glitch until I had another one a few days later.

Minor UVKSR thing - Sticky Notes

I've gotten in the habit of using Sticky Notes for things that I want to remember to tell the client ("run the printer-install shortcut when you get home", HD has 5700hrs of use on it, etc.) As sort of mini-report. Since most PCs I'm seeing are Win10, I have Command 1 as explorer.exe shell...

Re: YouTube not sowing previews using Edge

If it's happening on three different computers, I'd be looking elsewhere like the router. Have you changed the DNS on it?
