virtualization
7 TopicsConnection Refused at TCP/IP Level
Guys, i have a web application running on Windows 2025. Occasionally, the application experiences bursts of over 500 simultaneous connections. Even though, the server showing less than 10% CPU utilization and about 75% of RAM still available, I am encountering "connection refused" errors. I can see Windows Performance counter TCPv4 / Connection Failures change when this happens. There is no antivirus deployed during my test, and Windows defender is off. i have seen similar issues on Windows 2019 and 2022 also. I suspected SynAttack detection, but the TCP diagnostic counters for SynAttack detection dont know any values. It appears to me that there is some Windows OS limitation that causes this issue. Does anybody encounter this situation before?195Views0likes5CommentsWindows Research Kernel Bring it Back!
I think it is time to revive the Windows Research Kernel! We need the community to be able to understand what is going on without letting everything out of the bag. The last version available was v1.2 which was based off of the kernel for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 SP2. We need a modern release for development, education, and security research. Who is with me?280Views0likes1CommentMultiple, nameless and locked desktop icons
Hi there, After updating to Windows 10 Home 22H2, it is presenting an annoying problem ("Bug") with the update of the desktop icons. I use my laptop to do RENDER and CAD work and during the day after a continuous use of the video graphics the icons on the desktop start to lose their names, to lock, (they do not allow access to the right mouse button) to change position after refreshing the screen and multiplying as ghosts. In the same way, if I refresh the screen more than three times with the right mouse button, the icons adopt the anomalies described above. I have a good laptop: Dell G5 (for gaming), Intel i7 8th gen, 32 ram, Nvidia RTX 2060 6gb, Disk SSD Nvme M2 500gb + SSD sata 1000gb, 144hz display (or 240Hz external display). I'm pretty sure it's a Windows problem. I have created new user accounts and it doesn't work. Currently I am using the Rebuild Icon Cached as temporary solution, (I have to use it with script to repair during the day, but it is not normal). If any of you have a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot.608Views0likes1CommentHow to Use Windows on an iMac: Need Guidance!
I'm excited to share that I've landed a new job opportunity in the Gulf country, and I've even got my Kuwait visa sorted out. However, here's the twist: I've just learned that the office utilizes iMac systems, which is a bit unfamiliar territory for me. I've been a Windows user all my life and feel quite comfortable with it. Given that I'll be working on an iMac now, I'm seeking advice on how to smoothly integrate Windows functionality into the Mac environment. I believe this will help me maintain my productivity and adapt quickly to the new work setup. Are there any methods, tools, or software solutions that can assist me in using Windows applications on an iMac? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or tips from those who've navigated this transition before. Your insights will undoubtedly make a significant difference as I embark on this new chapter of my career.590Views0likes3Commentswindows kernel driver debug setup WDKRemoteUser account keeps asking for password on HyperVM machine
Hello, i am using Visual Studio 2022 Professional edition, and setup a HyperVM machine to debug my kernel driver that i am developing. After provisioning the installation for kernel debug via the VS VM configuration. For a limited time everything works, but when i restart the VM, my os is waiting for me to login / choose a user account to log in. I couldn't find any way to correctly configure it to always logon as WDKremoteUser without asking me for a password, that i don't know and cant find anywhere. Any thought appreciated, on how to fix this. Thank you.1.7KViews0likes0Comments
