In a bind
FYI I need a solution preferably before Dec 26. I have a windows 10 home computer as my radio station computer. I don't have the nessacary build installation to install the presonus 96 USB audio interface drivers properly. My current computer can't handle windows 11 and have to stick with windows 10 until my windows 11 laptop returns from the shop. How do I up the build to windows 22H2 so can get the drivers installed. I need this update KB5015684 And I need it sent to me because the computer does not have access to the internet and would rather it not be connected to the internet.bmad24Dec 21, 2024Copper Contributor6Views0likes0CommentsWhy is that Windows app slow / blocked / expensive!?
Democratize Windows Performance Analysis A new public, open-source toolset for analyzing the performance of Windows / Office / Apps is now available on the Microsoft GitHub site: https://github.com/Microsoft/MSO-Scripts Based on tools used by MS Office teams to promote broad use of Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), it's intended to facilitate exposing performance issues. The toolset consists of highly customizable PowerShell scripts & XML configs to drive WPR/WPA, plus a custom plug-in to expose network activity. Wiki documentation covers a wide variety of topics: CPU/Thread activity Network connections and activity File and Disk I/O Windows Handles: Kernel, User, GDI Memory Usage: Heap, RAM, Working Set, Reference Set, ... Office-specific logging Symbol Resolution Custom Tracing CPU Counters, etc. There's also a growing YouTube channel: Windows Performance Deep Dive Introduction to MSO-Scripts (video) Suggestions?

Hi all, with every in-place upgrade of Windows Client and Server OS these "optional features" many of them deprecated by Microsoft get re-installed with an OS Upgrade. Latest interation Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 24H2 How can we remove these? They are not listed in WindowsOptionalFeatures (Client). Thank you for sharing your guidance. The outputs from Copilot are wrong assuming some Feature names.35Views0likes2CommentsHow to shrink volume in Windows Server 2012 R2?
I am trying to shrink a volume on Windows Server 2012 R2 system, but I'm unsure of the proper steps to do this effectively. I've looked into the Disk Management tool, but I’m not very familiar with the process and want to ensure that I don't accidentally lose any data or affect the system's performance. I would like to know if there are any prerequisites or important considerations I should keep in mind before proceeding with this operation. For instance, are there specific types of volumes that can be shrunk, or do I need to perform any maintenance on the server beforehand?tifekulhynneOct 22, 2024Copper Contributor401Views0likes5CommentsHow to move recovery partition on Windows server?
I've encountered a situation where I need to reallocate disk space for better organization and performance, and the recovery partition is currently occupying a significant amount of disk space that I would like to adjust. I want to ensure that the recovery partition remains functional after the move, as it is crucial for system recovery and troubleshooting purposes. Could anyone provide guidance on safely moving recovery partition on Windows server? I'm particularly interested in tools or methods that can be used to perform this task without risking data loss or system integrity. Thank you in advance for your help!AgoopiaOct 21, 2024Copper Contributor990Views2likes5CommentsHow do I move Recovery Partition Windows Server?
I'm facing a challenge with my Windows Server setup and could really use some guidance. I need to move the recovery partition to a different location on my hard drive, but I'm unsure of the best approach to do this without compromising the system's integrity. I've tried a few methods, but they haven't worked as expected, and I'm concerned about the potential impact on boot processes and system recovery options. Could anyone provide insights or step-by-step instructions on how to safely relocate the recovery partition?MandaoyOct 17, 2024Copper Contributor54Views0likes1CommentDefine Patch Approvals in WSUS but pull patches from Windows Update (Internet)
We currently use WSUS to distribute Microsoft patches and also use Solarwinds Patch Manager to push 3rd party patches into WSUS. This allows us to fully patch an endpoint with all MS and 3rd party software patches via Windows Update Agent/WSUS. We now have a fleet of laptops connected back to our Datacenter via a VPN and they are consuming a lot of bandwith during patching cycles. We have the following challanges: We do use some throttling on BITS/Delivery opitmization but have had mixed results We have MECM but don't use Cloud Management gatway as was deemed too expensive. we have not moved patching to MECM yet. If we use Windows Update for Business we cannot patch 3rd party updates and loose some control around pilot groups and reporting in our estimation Q: So is there a way for us to continue to define the approved patches/metadata via WSUS but have the system pull the patches files from the internet (Windows Update) source? Perhaps this is possible with MECM?shockoOct 09, 2024Steel Contributor149Views0likes2CommentsDid expediting the 2024-08 Quality Updates fail for anyone else?
Due to the CVE-2024-38063 vulnerability, we attempted to use the Expedited Quality Updates feature to enforce the immediate installation of the 2024-08 security updates. Unfortunately, the feature simply did not work. Even a couple weeks after deploying the expedited update profile, we had about 25% of our Windows endpoints still in "Pending" status, most of which were powered on 24/7. We still have ConfigMgr in our environment, so I used CMPivot to run a query for events in the System log with "2024-08" in the message. This showed me that rather than installing the update and forcing a restart one day later as configured, the update was being installed, then reverted about ten hours later, then immediately re-installed again, over and over: If I manually initiated a restart on any of the affected machines, the update was successfully finalized, so the issue wasn't a failure to install the update. I've opened a case with Microsoft Support, but it is progressing slowly. If nobody else is seeing the issue, I will throw in the towel, but if it's more widespread, I think it is worth fighting to get this fixed (assuming that Microsoft isn't already aware and has simply chosen not to publicize it — for example, in the Windows release health blade in the MIcrosoft 365 Admin Center).RyanSteele-CoVSep 04, 2024Iron Contributor547Views0likes6CommentsThrottle Downstream WSUS Update Pull from upstream
Is it possible to throttle the download of updates on a downstream WSUS server i.e. when it is pulling it's updates from an upstream WSUS server? We have some downstream WSUS servers on low bandwidth links and whilst we generally schedule the pull of updates during an out-of-hours window this is problematic for us for several reasons. I'd rather they pull during the day but with throttling. I’m aware the WSUS clients can do this in Windows 10 BITS etc. but wondering can the WSUS server do this on the synchronisation cycles.shockoAug 29, 2024Steel Contributor161Views0likes0Comments
