Disable Windows Update/Automatic Update In Windows 10

- Somehow two of my PC and laptop cannot boot after installed Windows Update, somewhat related to 1803 version.
- First my PC got boot corrupted.
- So I burn Windows 10 ISO to USB, boot from USB, select REPAIR > TROUBLESHOOT > COMMAND PROMPT.
- I have multiple HDD and Windows on my PC.
- And I found out that, after installed updates related to 1803, boot sector/configuration is corrupted, the main Windows folder that I use is not in the boot list anymore.
- So the boot list is corrupted.
- First, I identify which volume is my Windows folder using DISKPART and make it active.
- You can google "windows 10 bootmgr missing", "windows 10 bcdboot repair", "windows 10 bootrec fixboot" and so on.
- Using DISKPART, I use LIST DISK, LIST PARTITION, LIST VOLUME, SELECT VOLUME, ACTIVE then EXIT.
- My missing Windows folder is D:\Windows.
- I try using BOOTREC /FIXMBR, then BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, but FIXBOOT give me error message either "ELEMENT NOT FOUND" or "ACCESS DENIED".
- So I go to folder "D:\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT", rename the current BCD to remove it using "REN BCD BCD.BAK".
- Then I use "BCDBOOT D:\Windows \l en-us \ s d: \f ALL"
- Then I use "BOOTREC /SCANOS", then "BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD"
- Then I restart my computer.
- Make sure first boot HDD is the HDD that you want to load the Windows.

- So because I don't want anymore Windows Update on Windows 10, I googled and found article on "How to Disable Windows 10 Update in Every Way" from EaseUS (https://www.easeus.com/todo-backup-resource/how-to-stop-windows-10-from-automatically-update.html#part1)
- I use "SERVICES.MSC" > Windows Update > Disabled.
- Then I use "GPEDIT.MSC" > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates > Disabled.

How To Remove Windows Password (Login)

- Usually if I forgot my login password, I reboot the PC then enter the Windows in Safe Mode.
- Then log in using Administrator account, and remove the password for my user account.
- But in some cases, I forgot the Administrator password that I set during fresh install of Windows.
- So I use Active Password Changer to remove the password for Windows.

- Standby yourself empty USB Pendrive then simply download, install, goto Start Menu > All Programs > Active Password Changer > Bootable DOS Floppy or USB Disk Creator.
- Then boot your PC from USB Pendrive, search SAM database, select user account and just press "y" twice. Simple!
- Backup download links (for functional test purposes only, buy the original if this helps you).

View .vnt File (From Android Memo) On PC

- I transfer memo from android to windows, I thought I go a .txt (text document) file, instead I got a .vnt file.
- Googling and found this site (android forum).
- I use this site for decode the .vnt file to text document.
- "You can use this script to decode a source quotedprintable text and directly show a decoded text, or convert the source file encoded by quotedprintable directly to the source text or a binary data (select a source file using the file field in this form, check export to a binary file)."
- Have a try :-)

.Net Framework 4 Installation Error 0xc8000222

- From what I have experienced myself, this error is related to Windows Update.
- First, goto Windows Update and try check for update. If there is any error, for example, it says service is not running, first you can try repair Windows Update.
- Try Windows Update Automated Troubleshooter.
- Try Microsoft Fix It
- Search, download and run "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab".
- My solution (I forgot where I found.this working solution but somewhat from Microsoft related web/forum/comment), rename "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log" or just delete it, and restart your PC. After that my Microsoft Update is working and I now can install .Net Framework 4 smoothly.
- That is my solution, I can't guarantee it will work at your PC or not, do it at your own risk.

(Solved) Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware

- I got this error when I try to install Windows 7 from usb pendrive.
- Info from microsoft support site said that it is caused by advanced format drive @ RAID. You can find the solution there, and here's the link to RAID driver download from Intel (optional).
- But that's not the solution for my problem as my hdd already set to IDE.
- Here's how. If you create the usb instalation disk using YUMI, then you need to unplug the usb before the first reboot (take note; BEFORE THE FIRST REBOOT). More info here. This solve my problem.

(How To) Windows 7 Setup From USB

- I use YUMI and windows installation .iso file.
- Format the usb pendrive to NTFS, suggested by WinToFlash, said it will improve the speed.
- Select drive, select Windows Vista/7/8 Installer, select .iso file, click Next.
- Wait until the copy process is finished, boot PC/laptop from USB.

(Windows XP Setup Error) Setup cannot find the End-User License Agreement (EULA). Setup will not continue.

- From Microsoft Support site, it is because the hard disk if formatted by operating system other than Windows XP. And my problem is because the hard disk if formatted by Windows 7 Setup.

- So, I use MiniTool Partition Wizard, boot from usb pendrive, and format the hard disk to FAT32. You can find my tutorial to create a bootable Partition Wizard from pendrive here.

Problem With Cyberlink PowerDVD 6 in Windows 7

There is currently no solution for this problem. So you must use newer version is PowerDVD. Currently the newest is PowerDVD 12 but I don't really like the new interface, a bit laggy for me. So I use PowerDVD 7, similar interface to PowerDVD 6.

And don't forget to get Deluxe version or you can't use Karaoke!

Update 01 (26/04/12, 655PM)
- Interface of PowerDVD 7 a bit problem to use with dual display, because the menu (control menu) is not really separated as when you use fullscreen on second monitor/display, the menu from display 1 will goto display 2.
- I also tried PowerDVD 8, more problem as the control menu isn't separated.
- Any idea/options for ATI Catalyst Theather Mode for non-ATI?

Update 02 (30/04/12, 1132AM)
- I prefer to use KMPlayer and VLC Media Player as an option to Cyberlink PowerDVD as new version of PowerDVD not fulfilling the main use for karaoke player.
- VLC Media Player doesn't has hotkey for Left-Right channel change, but KMPlayer has Left-Right channel remove and downmix to mono for same option as Left-Right selection.
