With many users still holding onto Windows 7 and XP, it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft’s newest operating system to focus on the classic desktop experience while featuring the best of what Windows 8 has to offer.

recently Microsoft has released new update and are:  KB3008931, KB3008956 and KB3008968 but the in the half way of the installation of these three updates,everyone gets an error that you don’t have Build 9860 installed. This hints to use that Microsoft, has launched updates for Build 9860 beforehand or “prematurely” where Microsoft has yet to push any new Techinical Preview builds.

All of this means that Microsoft os going to release build 9860 or any 986X soon...so be ready to experience the new windows 10 build.

It is about time Microsoft dropped the price for Windows, especially when they offer Windows Phone – their mobile product which will become Windows 10 in 2015 – for free to smartphone users.

Microsoft will talk more about Windows 10 at BUILD in April next year. Until then, we will get to see the latest updates via the Technical Preview, launched last month by Microsoft.

NoScript is a particularly useful Mozilla Add-on that can help protect your computer from malicious websites on the Internet. It operates by implementing a 'white list' of sites that you have determined as acceptable, safe or trusted (like a home-banking site or an on-line journal). All other sites are considered potentially harmful and their functioning is restricted, until you have determined that the content of a particular site presents no harm; at this point, you may add it to the white list.

NoScript will automatically start blocking all banners, pop-up advertisements, JavaScript and Java code, as well as other potentially harmful web site attributes. NoScript cannot differentiate between harmful content and content necessary to correctly display a web site. It is up to you to make exceptions for those sites with content that you think is safe.

You can enable JavaScript/Java execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.

Dynamix has once again created an incredible historical simulation of air combat with Red Baron 3D. Red Baron I and II were well received with their excellent take on World War I air combat, and Red Baron 3D brings back the excellence with the wonders of 3D accelerator technology and much, much more.

Features:

The game boasts a number of good features such as 3D planes, buildings, bridges, and the occasional skydiving pilot (without a parachute). Also, the Glide-enabled features really add to the fun and realism of the game. The sound effects must also be mentioned as a feature because they were really extensive, from the sputtering of the engine every once in a while, to the groan of the pilot as a bullet hits him. Also, the multiplayer is rather good because of the constant online war going on. WON.net has a WWI scenario up and players run the battles and determine the outcome. Even though it has a small following, it is still pretty cool.

Gameplay:

The gameplay in Red Baron 3D is really very good with the ability to alter a large number of realism settings to change how the planes fly and whether or not you die. Though the maps can be big, and the planes are slow, there is a time compression feature that is very useful. The missions are varied, as is the campaigns and the Fly Now feature can be set to random, or preset, and pits you against enemy aircraft every specified number of minutes. Without radar and guided systems, the game really tests your dogfighting skills and determination. Online play will also test you because it can get pretty hairy if there is more than 5 people in a close-quarter dogfight, which there usually is. If there is lag, though, it is really hard to fight, because even hitting an enemy takes a whole lot of work. In the end, though, it is worth it to see the plane spiral to the ground and explode.

The event on September 30 announced the release of the Technical Preview of Windows 10 for laptops and desktops, often referred to as WTP andMicrosoft announced on October 13 that over 1 million folks are currently testing out the Windows 10 Technical Preview.
The Corporate VP of Operating Systems went on the reveal that a cautious 36% of users have installed the OS on virtual machines.and as you know  Windows 10 Technical Preview is still early stage, and is recommended for PC experts and IT pros only.

Today Microsoft has launched the first update for windows 10 technical preview "kb3000061" and this patch update bring :

Adds capabilities to determine application compatibility problems and effects.
Addresses an issue in which an application such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint seems to freeze when you open a document that contains a large EMF file. After you install this security update, you can stop the application without waiting for win32k.sys to finish processing the EMF file.

So if you want to download it you just need to go to windows update from control panel and check for new updates.

Microsoft has a new file system designed to increase data integrity, scalability and availability called the Resilient File System (ReFS).  This file system has leveraged many of the NTFS file system goodies and expanded them to make it more scalable and prevent corruptions.

 The final version of Windows 10 uses NTFS and Microsoft has not added any option to enable the ReFS file system in the system. Resilient File System (ReFS) is a new local file system that maximizes data availability, despite errors that would historically cause data loss or downtime. Microsoft has only added ReFS file system in Windows Server 2012 and there is no direct option to activate or enable ReFS in Windows 10.

But if you still keen to try and test ReFS on your Windows 10 system then here is the way to activate ReFS on your system.

First download REFS enabler from here.

Once you download and run Enable ReFS.reg.

Click on yes if you want to continue,then OK after that the option to format non system drive as REFS file system will be available via command line option or via Windows Explorer right click content menu for Format as shown in screenshot.

If you want to disable Refs file system in windows 10 i have attached an other file for you so just double click and disable it.

You may have noticed that in Windows Explorer, there are small check-boxes to the left of the file or folder names. This could be helpful to identify the current selected item and if would you like an easier way to select multiple files in Windows Explorer without having to hold down the “Ctrl” or “Shift” key? Today we take a look at enabling the check boxes feature which might be easier for some users. But if you don’t like this, there are ways to turn this check-box off.

From the start menu search box type “folder options” then select folder options and go to view tab.

Under the View tab, find a setting under Advanced settings: > Uncheck/Check “Use check boxes to select items”. That’s it, click OK to apply the setting.

New systems shipped with Windows 10 are coming along UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) system. Due to some features in these systems like Fast Start-up, Secure Boot and boot-manager hard-coded with Windows 10, it is now quite difficult to dual-boot this with any Linux version.

Fast Startup (aka: hybrid boot or hybrid Shutdown) is a new feature was presented in Windows 8 and now in windows 10 to help your PC start up faster after shutting down. When turned on, Windows 10 does this by using a hybrid shutdown (a partial hibernate) method that saves only the kernal session and device drivers (system information) to the hibernate (hiberfil.sys) file on disk instead of closing it when you shut down your PC. This also makes the hiberfil.sys file to be much smaller than what hibernate would use (often 4GB or more).

To disable Fast Startup, follow these simple instructions:

1- Open the Control Panel , and click on the Power Options .


2- Click on Choose what the power buttons do.


3- Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable .


5- Under Shutdown settings, uncheck the Turn on fast startup then click Save changes .


Turning off the “fast startup/hybrid boot” option fixes the chkdsk problem during the installation .

If Windows 10 comes in different flavors such as Enterprise, or Ultimate, or Professional, and Home Premium, we will get another difference: the x64 and x86 versions. These versions correspond to the type of processor or CPU that is in the computer. Older systems will have an x86 CPU, newer ones, x64.

If you do not know the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, I would have told you in the past that you are running a 32-bit version of Windows. But from Windows 7 there are more 64-bit operating systems shipped by default without the end users knowledge.64-bit system is better but you also need to be running 64-bit programs and have a 64-bit processor or else all the trouble of setting up the 64-bit operating system would be worthless.

If you are the only regular user of your computer then configuring Windows 10 to automatically login without the need for a password when powered on is an easy way to speed up the startup time.

In this article I will show you how to setup Windows 10 so that it will log you in automatically, without requesting you to type your user account password every time.

1. Press Windows Key + R to open Run and type netplwiz.


2. When User Accounts settings appear select an account with the password and uncheck “User must enter a username and password to use this computer” then click Apply.


3. When the password box appears type your password and click ok and restart your computer.


The next time you will start Windows, you will be automatically logged on with the user you just selected. This user will become the default log on user to Windows 10.

Today in this post we let you know how you can Shutdown, Restart, Lock & Sleep and more in Windows 10 from right click context menu. The trick is pretty neat and simple and need one or two click to setup the power options on your Windows Right click menu.

1- Download the Power Button file from here


2- Now, double click on Add Power Menu.reg file. Click on “Yes” in the Registry Editor window (shown above).


3- Now Click Ok


That’s it! If you right click anywhere on the desktop now, you’ll see the options for locking, restarting, shutting,sleeping,switching and more.

I've tested this and can confirm that it is safe and works fine. I was able to Lock, Shutdown and Restart my Windows 10 PC just fine.
if you didn't like the Power Menu in your context menu i have attached a Remove Power Menu.reg file to remove it from the context menu.

Control panel is a repository of various applets/administrative tools that can be used to configure the windows 10, applications, and services environment.and it is a very well known fact that the Control Panel is a very vital area in your computer system no matter what operating system you are using. If you agree with the above statement you should also not oppose to the proposal that access to this vital area should be restricted to some extent.

1- Press windows key + R then type gpedit.msc and hit Enter.


2- In the left pane, click/tap on to expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates, and Control Panel.Then in the right pane of Control Panel, double click/tap on Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC settings. (see screenshot below)


3- In the next window, select Enable, click OK, then close out of Local Group Policy Editor.


You have completed you task and reached your destination but for some technical knowledge, what you have done through these steps is that you have changed the settings in such a manner that the program file for Control Panel namely “Control.exe” cannot start.

If you have setup password protected user accounts on your machine to your family members or friends, you can prevent other users from changing their user account passwords in Windows 10.

Computers open to general or specified public for use; usually have a common and shared username. In most of the cases, this username is also protected by a password. A user may try, and succeed in changing the password, and you cannot even identify that user due to a high number of attendants on a same PC. To avoid the troublesomeness resulting from it, prevent these users to change the concerned PIN.

Are you struggling to boot into Safe Mode in Windows 10? Have you tried pressing both F8 and Shift+F8 and they don't work? That's because a lot has changed with the boot procedure in Windows 10. The boot has become so fast that it literally cannot be interrupted by any of your keypresses.

The Safe Mode of Windows one of the well known special state of operating system that is effectively a diagnostics mode for Windows. In Safe Mode, Windows OS loads only the bare minimum drivers and services that are required by the operating system. By loading only the minimal set of features, Safe Mode is useful in isolating the root cause and troubleshooting the problem of the Windows operating system, such as faulty device driver, corrupted software, virus infection and malware attack, which may prevent the PC from booting normally, or cause the Windows to be unstable and unusable.Here we are how you can boot into Safe Mode easily.

1- From your keyboard Press Windows key + R and type “msconfig”.

Lock screen in Windows 10 operating system provides an additional layer of obstruction for accidental users’ tapping on any Microsoft-based touchscreen device. Although it is strongly suggested that you should not disable the lock screen while using Windows 10, if you are not using a highly sensitive touchscreen device or you don’t have kids running around and messing with the things, you can disable the feature as per your individual preferences.and this tutorial is for all users who don’t like to be prompted with the Windows 10 lock screen.

With the latest update to Microsoft's operating system windows 10, the company has unfortunately removed the ability to forget Wi-Fi networks so that you don't automatically connect to them. However, you can still do so from the command line.

To remove a profile you don't want your laptop automatically connecting to anymore, open up a command prompt as an administrator and perform the following:

1- Enter : netsh wlan show profiles


2- Refer to above shown image, suppose we want to delete the wireless network profile "Try to connect ;)". So we run this command to erase it:

netsh wlan delete profile name=”Try to connect ;)“


Be sure to note that if the wireless profile name includes spaces, it may need to be enclosed in quotations when executing the delete command.*

It's also worth noting that netsh will accept wildcards when specifying the profile name. To delete all profiles starting with "Try", type delete profile name=Try*.

After you install Windows 10, you may need to install the latest Windows 10 drivers for any hardware that Windows doesn't have built-in drivers for and as you know windows 10 is Microsoft's newest operating system so manufacturers are not yet releasing drivers for their hardware to support this new version of Windows. this post will also help you in installing our old driver packages in Window 10 or even if their installer doesn't supports your new OS. This trick works in most cases.

Actually most of the software are packages with are configured to perform the installation as per configuration.Well, for trying the extraction, you can use some advanced tools like "Extract All".


Assuming that you have extracted the files from the "executable" installer of your driver.So then all you have to so is to go to the"Device Manager",and you manually need to find the device in
the list by your sense. If you are unable to identify the device, select the ones from the category "Other devices" in device manager,select any "Unknown device" labled item and right click on it.
Select the option to update its driver,


 Now proceed with searching it in the folder where you have extracted your driver files.
