RESET FORGOTTEN WINDOWS ACCOUNT PASSWORDS.
Often when users install Windows, generally they setup a local user (administrator) and then they configure the domain account. After configuring the domain account users usually never login onto our Local User Account. Sometimes user needs to login onto the local user account for different reasons. For e.g. Domain account password expired and users needs to logon onto computer for accessing data or sending mails, browsing internet. It happens many of the times that because users have not used the local account users tend to forget local user account password. In that case many users reformat the machine.
But ideally spending time on reformatting the machine may not be a good option. So, how do we reset the password of the locked account? We have a solution for this problem. The solution is using DaRT. DaRT stands for Diagnostics and Recovery Toolkit.
Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset is a core component of the Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance, a suite of advanced technologies designed to improve desktop manageability and security and decrease total cost of ownership (TCO).
Step 1: Obtain the Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset 6.0 and create the recovery cd using ERD Commander Boot Wizard based upon WinPE or obtain the CD from the Local IT.
Step 2: Boot the target machine using the DaRT Recovery CD
Select No for NetStart, we don’t require the network connectivity.
Step 3: Select the appropriate language. Default is US and click on Next
Step 4: Select the Operating System. If you have more than 2 Operating Systems, it will show 2 operating systems and Click on Next
Step 5: Once loaded you will see it’s like Windows Vista Bootable DVD repair tools but with 1 more additional option ‘Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset’; click on it.
Step 6: You will see following tools in DaRT. Click on Locksmith
Step 7: This will launch Locksmith wizard. Click on Next
Step 8: This will show ‘Select New Password’ window. Select the account you want to reset the password. And provide the new password. After that click on Next
Step 9: You will get dialog box ‘Completing the Locksmith Wizard’ On next restart you will have an option to Change the local user account password after you log in.
Click on Finish. Click on Close and Restart
Step 10: Take out the DaRT CD and restart the machine.
Enter the recently changed password for the local user. Then you will get the above message stating ‘The user’s password must be changed before logging on the first time’
Click OK and type in the new password
you have just changed the password for the local account. Now you can login with the newly created password.

In fact, to reset a lost Windows password is not so troublesome now. You can reset a forgotten Windows 7/vista/2008 password by using a installation disk, a user account with admin privileges, or reset it with a recovery tool no matter what brand of laptop you are using, dell/hp/toshiba/acer/samsung or other. These three tips will not lead to lose any filses or other things.
Tip one: Reset Windows Password with Windows Installation CD(fit for Windows 7/Vista)
1. Insert the installation disk to your locked computer, restart. When following interface appears. Cllick"Repair your computer".
2. A dialog with several options pops up, click Command Prompt.
3. When a Command Prompt black screen appears, type "copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe" and press Enter. Then type "copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe" afterwards press Enter key.
4. Restart your computer. On the login screen, tap Shift key five times and you'll see a command prompt screen in administrator mode. OK, type "net user UserName NewPassword" (replace the UserName and UserPassword with which you wanna) and press Enter key. The user password will be replaced with new one. Close the window and then you can login your laptop Windows 7 with new password.
Tip two: Reset Windows 7/Vista/XP/2008/2003 password with CMD
1. Logon you laptop with another user account which has admin privileges.
2. Click Start, type in "CMD.EXE" in the search box, press Enter.
3. Cammand screen apears, type in "net user" "user name" " new password", press Enter.
The user account password will be replace as the new one.
Tip three: Recover Windows password with a Windows password recovery tool.
This method requires you to load a Windows password recovery program.
1. Install the program on another computer and create a password recovery disk with USB
2. Insert the disk to your laptop and set your laptop to boot from it.
3. All user accounts will be loaded, then you can reset any user password.

Exchange 2003 and 2007 header with special characters behavior
It surprises me that the technet search engine doesn't find any solutions to the following situation (googling around only tries to confirm the problem as MS design bug):
Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 Std EN, tested on
Windows Server 2003 Std x32-bit; Windows Server 2008 Std x64-bit respectively
In both cases when a DisplayName has special characters (accent and dieresis tested) in the mail-header FROM: field is created differently than the usual "Lastname, Firstname" form. Two examples here are:
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?t=F6st=2C_t=E4st?
From: =?utf-8?B?U3TQpGhsKZIsIENvcmS=?=
As you see we are missing here (at least) the quotation marks as is the case in
From: "toest, taest"
for example.
This misbehaviour leads to problems with iMacs and iPods when their users click the "reply" button.
The Outlook setting of the mailformat (HTTP, rich text, plain text) didn't have any impact on the header "misspelling".
Can anyone confirm this on another exchange server?
Is there header configuration file / registry at all?
Thanks!

Server 2016 cannot connect with RDP, not responding
Hello,
i have a VMware VM with Server 2016 Standard - German language.
After I promoted the VM to a Domain Controller, I could no longer login with RDP Remote Desktop from my Windows 10 (CU) Machine and all other machines.
I received the same error as if the firewall was on or blocking or RDP was'nt enabled at all. I triple checked everything but it was all set correctly. Firewall was disabled for all profiles.
After some research in other forums, on the Server 2016 I went to control panel - region. On top of the window there is a drop down:
It was by default set to "use windows language (recommended)" - the german original setting name is "Windows-Anzeigesprache verwenden (empfohlen)".
I changed this to "German (Germany)" that is in german: "Deutsch (Deutschland)"
After click Apply - I could connect with RDP from all other machines again.
What a weird bug...!

The role of this server is that of an HVR. It's designed to interface with video recording devices and record that video. It's unable to do so.

Windows 8 USB 3.0 Problems
I have run into many USB 3.0 problems across multiple devices and computers running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. After many headaches and sleepless nights I think I have narrowed all the problems down to one thing in Device Manager: "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)"
The controllers (Multiple Computers) have had problems with all the Microsoft Drivers including the most resent: 6.2.9200.16548 3/1/2013
The problems:
- USB 3.0 External Optical Drives (labeled Windows 8 compatible) not recognized or continuously disconnecting/reconnecting with or without manufacturers drivers.
- USB 3.0 Flash drives running slow and/or disconnecting often with data corruption/loss
- USB 3.0 Flash drives not recognized
My solution: <Disabled> "Intel xHCI Mode" or "XHCI Pre-Boot Mode" in BIOS/Firmware
This solution Takes the "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)" out of Device Manager and eliminates all the problems stated above across multiple machines running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
However: This is not a fix.
The Intel USB 3.0 controllers on the machines seam to only run at 2.0 speeds. (Before they were also slow but much less functional, often not recognizing devices)
Non-Intel USB 3.0 controllers are fully functional at full USB 3.0 speeds. (Before they had limited or no function depending on the controller)
This appears to be a fix for non-Intel USB 3.0 controllers but what about the Intel controllers that take the lion's share of USB 3.0 controllers on the market?
Dose Microsoft have a fix for "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)"
Is there a new Microsoft driver coming out soon? How about an Intel driver for Windows 8 like the one they have for 7?
Am I the only one who is being slammed with this problem from every windows 8 machine I touch? I have not seen a large amount of discussion on the internet with such a seemingly big thing like USB 3.0 not working with Windows 8!
Reply:
You are not the only one. I have been fighting this issue with USB 3.0 for almost a year. I built a new machine with a gigabyte UD5H motherboard. This motherboard uses an Intel Z77 chipset. It has an intel xhci controller and uses a via VL810 hub for distribution. It has 10 USB 3.0 ports. I am running Windows 8 professional 64. I have been using 12 Seagate Backup Plus drives of various sizes with USB 3.0 interfaces for external storage. My problems consisted of the following. Failure to connect at all. Connecting but running at USB 2.0 or lower speeds. Connecting and starting to transfer and then disconnecting. I finally traced this issue to faulty USB 3.0 cables. I tested all 12 of my cables and found 6 of them to be bad. and the other 6 to be intermittent. I bought a package of 5 of these 3 foot micro B cables on Ebay for 14 dollars and have tested each on each drive on each port of my machine with no issues. Write speeds to each of these drives from an internal drive averages 95 mbs. reading and copying from one if these drives to an internal drive averages 125mbs.
When I first built this machine I bought a Silverstone Front Panel Drive Bay with 4 USB 3.0 ports to connect to my internal motherboard headers. I could never get this panel to work properly. I used the front panel connector with 2 ports supplied with my motherboard and it works perfectly. I have been unable to find the issue with the Silverstone Panel it appears to be well made. I have since bought an additional panel from China to add additional USB 3.0 ports to the front and it works perfectly.
I bought a Corsair Flash Voyager 64gb USB 3.0 USB drive and it only works only intermittently on some of my USB 3.0 ports. On others it is simply not recognized. This same flash drive works perfectly on my Windows 7 machine. There is a fix on the web that lets you revert to the Windows 7 drivers in Windows 8. With the windows 7 drivers this flash drives works OK on my Windows 8 machine. (http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers). I have another Corsair USB 3.0 flash drive that works perfectly wit both Windows 8 and Windows 7.
My conclusions regarding these issues are: The USB 3.0 specification has been implemented carelessly by both Microsoft and the hardware vendors. Most people are using USB 3.0 hardware as USB 2.0 or have just given up. How do you pin these issues down to the true fault when the motherboard maker says it's not their problem, Intel says it's not their issue, Microsoft says it's not theirs, and the hardware vendors tell you it's not theirs. Most people don't have the time or the knowledge to deal with these issues, and the manufacturers just want to keep selling.

I m facing the same problem with my DELL XPS 12 loaded with Windows 8 Pro. USB 2.0 is always detectible but USB3.0 is intermittent.(1 out of 20times)
Disabling the driver "Intel (R) USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)" doesn't fix the issue.
A full shutdown solves my issue. (open run and type command shutdown /s /t 0) .
I am looking for a better option though

I'm just wondering if there is any news on this. I received a USB 3.0 IOMega eGo 1 TB drive today, which, based on a few tries, works without problem on the USB 2 port of my HP laptop with Windows 8, but hoses everything when connected to the USB 3.0 port. Shutting down and restarting provides only a brief respite, because when trying to copy files from internal drive to eGo, it hoses the whole system again. I'm gonna try the BIOS change. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to use the USB 2.0 connection until this is resolved. Thanks anyway for bringing it out.

I own a Sony Vaio Pro 11 and facing this issue as well. The Windows 8 driver for the Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller is highly unstable and makes my Iomega external USB 3.0 hard disk corrupt. Then I would have to use a different Windows 8 laptop that is not using the said driver to repair the drive.
Running chkdsk on my USB 3.0 external drive will result in slowness and disconnects. Running chkdsk on the same drive on a different Windows 8 laptop repairs the drive in 2 minutes.
Intel's driver website insists on using Windows 8 drivers supplied by Microsoft and I think this is a big mistake. Intel should supply the driver for this host controller themselves.
I will try the suggested workaround mentioned in the original topic and see if it works.
EDIT: I found another solution to this. I used a powered Logitech USB 2.0 hub and it is now stable.

Yup. Same here. I thought it was the drive -- 1TB Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0. Brand new Fujitsu T732 with fresh install of Win 8 Ho...I MEAN: PRO. Have not tried the BIOS work-around, but will now. Saw a work-around where one uninstalls the driver, disables driver updating, then installs the Win 7 pro driver. This, however, is an epic fail.
I thought USB 3.0 was the latest tech and that Windows 8- any version- was supposed to employ it with no issue.
Very disappointed. I do know that Linux distros can utilize the technology. +1 Linux.

I have had this problem as well, I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard that utilises the VIA chipset for the USB 3.0
They have just released a new USB 3.0 chipset driver as of 22-Aug-2013.
It is likely that any fix will come from the chipset manufacturer rather than Microsoft, or that Microsoft would fix it as part of a driver update for the specific chipset in question.
I therefore recommend that you all go to your motherboard manufacturer's website where hopefully a new USB 3.0 driver for Windows 8 Pro 64-bit will be waiting for you!
Best regards,

Be really careful with this one. I tried it on my new Dell XPS, because yes, I'm having major issues with the USB 3.0 ports, but because this PC has no other connections, other than USB, when Windows first starts after this change it shuts them down (all USB ports) until you can make the final changes, so you have no access to the computer at all. I had no choice but to do a system restore back to before the change.
BTW, the Dell tech support had no clue about anything, including how to do a system restore back to good known function in Windows 8. We had to figure that out and tell him.
If you have a PS2 port for your mouse/keyboard, this may work, not sure.

Hello Microsoft!
This problem persists for a year now(!) It nearly destroyed a working file system here because the device was resetted during operation and stalled after that. That was not funny. I have tested this in other operating systems incl. Linux distributions and there was no such problem with USB 3.0 devices. Intel support made clear that they have no plans on releasing a USB driver for Windows 8.1.
This is a big issue for professional developers like me. Reliability is the most important thing here and that renders Windows 8.1 unusable in a professional environment. One year is plenty of time for such a critical problem.
So, how long am I supposed to use Linux whenever I need to copy to portable USB 3 harddisks? Maybe I should stick with it in the first place...

I have the same problem.
Microsoft are pushing us new and " better " operating systems and Intel are selling us the bits and pieces but the companies are not working together in order to provide customers with reliable machines.
One year is a very very very long time.
People should be warned about this BEFORE they buy computers
running Win8 and Intel bits and pieces.......
and they should be given the address to the nearest Apple store !!!

Ok so as already stated by some in this thread, the only reliably working solution is to install the Windows 7 drivers from Intel.
The afore mentioned site http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers holds the key. However, the supplied inf files are obsolete regarding the newest drivers. I had some spare time the last evening and though being reluctant first I decided that there is (and probably will not be) a better way. Here is how you can make the most current Intel drivers (v. 2.5.3.34 from February 2014) work. Note that I have tested this only with the 64 bit version though I would imagine that it would work in the 32bit version as well. However, do this on your own risk!
1. Download the driver from Intel and extract it to some place
3. Edit the inf-Files (e.g., iusb3hub.inf and iusb3hub.inf)
Search for this line
[Intel.NTAMD64.6.2]
or for 32bit version
[Intel.NTx86.6.2]
This entry is for Windows 8 and followed by blanks. Remove the line!
Search for this line
[Intel.NTAMD64.6.1]
or respectively for
[Intel.NTx86.6.1]
This is the entry for Windows 7 (Note the '1' at the end) and its followed by the necessary information. Exchange the '1' with '2'! This makes Windows 8 go the right path on install.
Now search for this line
CatalogFile=<driver catalog file>
Note that <driver catalog file> depends on the inf file you are modifying. For iusb3xhc.inf it is "iusb3xhc.cat". Remove this line, otherwise Windows will refuse to install the driver as it recognizes that the inf has been tampered with.
3. Install the modifed driver
You can follow the guide on http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers now. Short version:
Reboot windows having driver signature enforcement disabled (in cmd enter
shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
and select the respective advanced start option)!
Now Update Microsofts Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller by going to the device manager and selecting your modified iusb3xhc.inf! Ignore Windows' reservations regarding your nice modified driver!
Reboot Windows a second time having driver signature enforcement disabled!
Now, there will be a new unknown device in device manager. In details tab you should see ...VID_8086...
For this device you install your modified iusb3hub.inf and ignore Windows complaining!
Reboor again (the usual way) and everything should be fine from now on.
One Note of WARNING though: During this process USB3.0 will be unusable. This means that a mouse and a keyboard connected to it won't work either. USB2.0 plugs should not be affected.
Some final words
I find it verry irritating that Microsoft ignores customer complains about their crappy USB 3.0 driver while knowing that Intel has perfect working drivers at their disposal. At the same time, Intel probably knowing that their drivers work for Windows 8 tells customers to complain to Microsoft. All could be so easy which makes me think there is some political problem going on between Microsoft and Intel now being all bitchy.

You would think a new machine with no other ports than 2 USB3's would have been tested better. I've updated to all the latest A06 firmware and the latest drivers from the Dell site. I've tried three different disk docking stations and several different hard disks, and all of them have the same random disconnect issues. Search for

My reply:
"Hello,This is Josh at Plugable Technologies. We've been working with Microsoft behind the scenes and rest assured they are aware an issue exists. That being said, when and if we will see a solution is hard to say. We don't have any direct involvement in driver development, but we've been reporting our findings to Microsoft and hopefully they will be able to analyze the data and come up with a solution.
We're involved mainly because our primary product line is comprised of USB docking stations and hubs and we have run into this issue. (It also helps that we're basically next door neighbors as we're both located in Bellevue, WA)
At first we suspected it might have been an issue with the firmware on our hub chipsets but after many different test cases we have narrowed this down to what we believe is a driver issue. This issue does not appear to happen on Windows 7 but can eventually be reproduced on the same computer with Windows 8 equipped with an Intel USB 3.0 controller. You just need enough USB devices to make it happen.
My main workstation is a 128GB Surface Pro 2 and I too have run into this issue many times. I have to be very selective about what devices I have attached. I believe the reason us Surface users see the issue is because almost every device in the Surface Pro 2 is attached through USB. I've also had this issue happen on an older Sony Vaio but far less frequently (less built in USB devices).
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Audio
- Touch sensor
- Gyro sensor
- Ambient light sensor
- Micro SD reader
- Front webcam
- Rear webcam
I'm sure I'm forgetting some other possibilities...
I currently have the following connected to my Surface:
- Plugable UD-3900 universal docking station
- Plugable USB3-HUB4AC1 4 port USB 3.0 hub
- Plugable PSS-SDH1 hard drive dock with integrated 4 port USB 3.0 hub
- Two flash drives, keyboard, mouse
- USB 2.0 external touch screen DisplayLink monitor
By my count here is the total number of actual devices (including hub chipsets) attached:
- DisplayLink DL-3900 chipset - integrated dual video outputs, gigabit Ethernet, & audio controller (UD-3900 dock)
- VIA 811+ 4 port USB 3.0 hub (UD-3900 dock)
- Terminus 4 port USB 2.0 hub (UD-3900 dock)
- VIA 812 B2 USB 3.0 hub (USB3-HUB4AC1 hub)
- VIA 812 USB 3.0 hub (PSS-SDH1 dock/hub combo)
- ASMedia ASM1051e SATA to USB (PSS-SDH1 dock/hub combo)
- Sandisk Extreme 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive
- Plugable USB2-OTGTF Micro SD card reader
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- DisplayLink DL-125 chipset (for the additional touch screen display)
- Touch screen HID device (for the additional touch screen display)
Excluding hub chipsets, I only have 8 devices attached externally. If I try to attach just one more device, I get the resources error. It doesn't seem to matter if I attach a USB 2.0 or 3.0 device. It appears to be a total device limit.
I'm not sure what we've learned here, this is just a lunchtime ramble."

I have run into many USB 3.0 problems across multiple devices and computers running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. After many headaches and sleepless nights I think I have narrowed all the problems down to one thing in Device Manager: "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)"
The controllers (Multiple Computers) have had problems with all the Microsoft Drivers including the most resent: 6.2.9200.16548 3/1/2013
The problems:
- USB 3.0 External Optical Drives (labeled Windows 8 compatible) not recognized or continuously disconnecting/reconnecting with or without manufacturers drivers.
- USB 3.0 Flash drives running slow and/or disconnecting often with data corruption/loss
- USB 3.0 Flash drives not recognized
My solution: <Disabled> "Intel xHCI Mode" or "XHCI Pre-Boot Mode" in BIOS/Firmware
This solution Takes the "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)" out of Device Manager and eliminates all the problems stated above across multiple machines running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
However: This is not a fix.
The Intel USB 3.0 controllers on the machines seam to only run at 2.0 speeds. (Before they were also slow but much less functional, often not recognizing devices)
Non-Intel USB 3.0 controllers are fully functional at full USB 3.0 speeds. (Before they had limited or no function depending on the controller)
This appears to be a fix for non-Intel USB 3.0 controllers but what about the Intel controllers that take the lion's share of USB 3.0 controllers on the market?
Dose Microsoft have a fix for "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)"
Is there a new Microsoft driver coming out soon? How about an Intel driver for Windows 8 like the one they have for 7?
Am I the only one who is being slammed with this problem from every windows 8 machine I touch? I have not seen a large amount of discussion on the internet with such a seemingly big thing like USB 3.0 not working with Windows 8!
I have seen problems galore with Intel's USB 3.0 chip.
My rig has ASMEDIA which is a rival and it works properly.
I suspect that drivers are not the problem but the chipset itself
USB is very standardized
Corsair Carbide 300R with window
Corsair TX850V2 70A@12V
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 CFX/SLI
AMD Phenom II 965 C3 Black Edition @ 4.0 GHz
G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3-2133 8 GB
EVGA GTX 6600 Ti FTW Signature 2(Gk104 Kepler)
Asus PA238QR IPS LED HDMI DP 1080p
ST2000DM001 & Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000
Wacom Bamboo CHT470M

I've had this same issue. It drove me insane for days until I found this forum post. Thank you.
Microsoft needs to understand this is a serious issue and ignoring it and not making people immediately aware that the issue exists has caused a serious loss of productivity and a serious gain of general misery. If they can't fix it, they should at the very least acknowledge that there is a problem. I wasted a Friday night with HP support. Based on their advice, I created a backup image (no easy feat considering I had no external drive available) and was well on my way to restoring to a factory image and potentially sending my laptop back for repair before I decided to scour the Internet one last time.
Please make fixing this issue a priority. Just get Intel to do it if you have to--but get it resolved. PLEASE.

I solved this problem updating all the Intel drivers related with USB.
You can do this using slimdrivers or a similar software. For me it has worked and now the problem with the USB 3.0 is finally fixed!!!

I may have found a solution to problems relating to slow speed of USB 3.0 under Windows 8/8.1
The problem may have been because of the hybrid boot function of Windows 8 which actually hibernate the system during each shutdown rather than really shutting down the kernel. The hybrid boot simply put the kernel into hibernation and end your user session during a system shut down. This may cause problem to windows loading up drivers for USB 3.0 controllers.
You can go to control panel > hardware and sound > power options > Choose what the power buttons do (On the left) > Changes settings that are currently unavailable (May require UAC) > Go to the bottom and uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommanded).

Hi I guess I am going to add a few more flies to the ointment.
I have a serious issue with USB 3.0 and I would like to hope that somebody may have an answer even if they are unable to help.
I run three different computers, for three completely different purposes, they are of different makes, One is an Acer, the other is a Pryon and the third is a Toshiba, I also have 2 Toshiba laptops, one brand new running Windows 8, the other running Windows 7. So basically what I am saying here probably has nothing to do with the systems I am running.
I guess a lot of people are getting swindled here by the hard drive manufacturers and everyone here seems to be blaming it on windows. I have spent thousands of dollars replacing all my old 2.0 drives (and some were getting a bit tired) with these new fangled super duper super fast 3.0 drives. I think overall in the past year I have bought around thirty of them, mostly portables, but some desktop ones, all different brands too I might add, Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba and Samsung. This as you can imagine has cost me a lot of money. The data I had on the old 2.0 drives equated to about 20 years of my life. Out of the roughly thirty I have bought, nine of them have bit the dust so to speak. Nearly all, once they become unusable, come up with the same thing, "The last USB device you connected to this computer is not recognised.
As an example I will recount exactly what has occurred with the last one to fail, which was today about 4 hours ago as I write this. It was working perfectly fine this morning, never gave off one indication that it may be about to fail. Then after a restart (which incidentally I am wondering if anyone else has this problem whereby once they shut down their computer they have to either power off or remove every USB 3.0 device from their unit before the computer will even start - this happens on two of mine - but not on the Toshiba)
So I shut down, I am using a powered 9 port hub for most of the portables on this particular system (Pryon) which I have to power off so all the drives disappear else the computer just hangs at the boot screen until I have done this) I have one 2,0 disc connected which I don't need to remove for the system to start.
Anyways once I have restarted the computer I then re-power up the hub and all the drives are loaded again and away I go. Well that was all good except when I checked one of my drives was missing from the File manager that I use (Salamander) and also not showing in Windows Explorer either. So I trace down the culprit, unplug it and re-plug it back in. Lo and behold up comes the afore-mentioned windows does not recognize this device. This is odd given that there are five other drives of the exact same make and model attached to the same hub still working. As I don't have all the slots in the hub filled I decide to change the slot and plug it into a different one. Same result. So then I decide to plug it into a 3.0 slot connected directly to the box, same result. As a last try I then plug it into a 2.0 slot on the box, same result. So then I take it out and try it on the other two boxes and eventually the laptop...same result....
I now have nine of these contraptions all totally useless to me....yes I guess I could send em back to Seagate and Toshiba and Western Digital and they will replace em with a brand new one...clean as a whistle with my twenty years up the poop chute....
I have looked everywhere through Google trying to find someone or somebody with the same problem as me, surely I cannot be the only person in Australia that happens to keep on getting the duds.
I've had 2.0 drives that have lasted ten years or more and probably may have went another ten if I didn't keep so called upgrading....some of these that have failed on me are not even 3 months old. I even had one desktop 3.0 drive that I bought on the Wednesday in Adelaide and by the time I had gotten it home after my son had copied some stuff onto it..it wouldn't work.
I have tried just about everything I've ever read on these forums, like using a different cable, Ive even pulled one of the portable to pieces to be able to use an attachment that I can plug it directly into a 3.0 slot and still nada....
My newest laptop is still under warranty and I have had that back to the supplier twice with a main hard drive failure which they have had to replace.
The reason why I am suggesting here that it may not be all windows fault is that my other laptop is still running windows seven and once a drive cacks it it wont show up in that either....I will say this though, I only have one drive that I use in that laptop and that is still running well.
Now before everybody jumps down my throat I have checked thoroughly for viruses on all my boxes, and they all are clean. And in anycase I've never heard yet about a virus that can attack one hard drive only, given that all that is on there is music, just like the other six.
Unless windows eight itself somehow manages to render a hard drive useless somehow then it has to be a fault in the manufacturing technology and that even though a drive might work perfectly for a week or two there is something there that the manufactures are missing in their testing.
Like someone said earlier, maybe it is going to take some massively big law-suit from a huge company that has lost everything against somebody for them to realise that USB 3.0 is tainted and no good.
Do they still make 2.0 cause I am going back there and hopefully I can do it before I lose everything, even though it will take a good part of six months to copy back over whatever it is that I still may have left....
Like I said I don't expect any answers but thank you for taking the time to at least read this...
Cheers Vern

Sounds like my problem with my (USB 2.0) powered hub. After an update it was not recognized, hence nothing attached to it was seen, until I removed all USB hubs and controllers, including hidden ones, in Device Manager. ICIM there is a connection with USB 3.0 in that that is the lone port on my Surface that I plug the hub into.
BTW to be extra sure about how those (registry) changes would work for me I also powered off and detached all USB devices, rebooted and only after the OS was back up did I start attaching things the way I wanted them. I don't know why updates play such havoc with our devices. I also would like to know why none of the troubleshooters do what I did to make my devices start working again.

Hi larsonmars,
I have this USB 3.0 problem with Win 8.1 64-bit on an ASUS ROC laptop. The laptop can't see my Glyph HD via USB 3.
I tried the solution as you'd described (editing the 2 .inf files) and on the pluggable site but with the new Intel controllers for the Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 series Chipset Family
However, upon the 2nd reboot, 2 things are different for my case:
1) My Bluetooth category disappears under Device Manager
2) Under "Other" I have a different device, it's not called "VID_8086"
So I per your instructions I didn't try to use it.

I too experience a problem with my passport on my surface 2 windows8 won't recognize drive. Drive lite stays on all times.
Check disk manager. Download drivers for windows 8 and the WD app from store, still the same.
My windows 8 surface 1 had no problem loaded the utilities the whole nine yards. Windows 7 no problem.
I cannot find anything helpful in the WD knowledge base toward solution of this problem. It must be USB related.
A difference between USB on surface 1 and USB on surface 2 both run windows 8.1.

I tried this fix but unfortunately it did not work. I do not think I could use the drivers you recommended because they were for series 8 boards and my board is series 7. Can I use the series 8 ones??? Anyhow, I got the latest for series 7 and followed your instructions as best I could. When I went to load the driver files it told me that I did not have a valid driver. I compared the original edited driver files from the plugable fix with the edited ones based on the latest release and there was a fair bit of difference although I did do the edits as instructed so I am not sure what it did not like.
I have 3 Seagate 4TB drives that were working fine for me a few weeks ago and now, they just will not work. I plug them in and hear the connect sound and then the icon comes up and within a minute, the icon is gone and I hear the disconnect sound. Normally I get error code 43 but have seen 45 as well. I have tried a lot of fixes and no luck. What the heck did MS do to the drivers in the last update? Unfortunately I can not even seem to roll it back. Can anyone tell me what is the latest thinking on this fault?
I contacted MSi who makes my laptop and they were hopeless. They just told me to reinstall the system. Not a good option if you ask me.
Looking forward to hearing from anybody as to how I may sort this out.
Thanks heaps

Windows Server 2012 cluster tiered virtual disks not showing all available space on storage pool when resizing disks
Hi all
We run two identical file server clusters, each with 2 HP DL 380 Gen8 server nodes and each with 3 D3700 raid enclosures with 60 HDs and 6 SSDs on each system. On each cluster we run one storage pool with all disks attached. One cluster runs fine, on the other one we do have a problem with the SSD capacity. We managed to set up 3 mirrored virtual disks on the storage pool with no problems, with enclosure awareness activated and 2 colums (Because of the limit with 2 SSDs per enclosure). Now if i want to exted the SSD tier on either of the virtual disk, it doesn't give me any more capacity to add when using GUI. Checking the status on the SSD's in the storage pool, they are not even half full.
Now the interesting (annoying) part: when using the powershell command "Get-StorageTierSupportedSize VD* -ResiliencySettingName Mirror | FT -AutoSize" i get 0 for min max and divisor for the SSD Tier(Same for parity and simple) but not for the HDD tier. Is there any way to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Windows Share - Visual Basic 2008 - Saving files
Hi All,
Some people where I work use Visual Visual Basic 2008 to create and modify projects.
We have a issue where when a user saves a project to a network share, the program hangs momentarily (Not responding), eventually coming back to life when the project is saved.
I believe the issue is when they save the project, roughly 5 folders are created and around 20 files (temp files etc). The latency doesn't seem to increase and the server itself doesn't struggle so I'm guessing its just down the amount of files and folders being written.
I should point out all users either use roaming profiles or redirected menus.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about this?
I though one possible solution would be to write files locally then use a log off script to copy the files to the server but does anyone have any better ideas?
Many thanks

Hi.
Could you describe your platform more?
What kind of server is hosting the network share?
Are only the user running VB 2008 getting the hang, or are all users using the share getting the hang?
Does the same happen when writing the project to a local disk?

Hi,
The share is on a standard 2008 R2 server (SP1), dedicated to file shares and currently only hosting files and folders for this department.
The server is hosted on ESXi with a HP SAN attached which presents the storage to ESXi which in turn presents it to the server.
The users are connected to the core switch via 100MB switch. Only these users are having the issue when running VB, I should note it happens when they debug projects on the network too, presumably because debugging involves writing lots of files to a folder.
Thanks for you reply.
------------------------------------

My 2 cents is that its a software issue.
Could you try to access files in the same share when one of them save. And see if it is slow for you too.
I know they have other strange bugs.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946344/en-us.
I found some other thread about problems saving large VB projects with lots or rows of texts..

My big question is.
Is the fileserver slow for you is somebody else is saving in Visual Basic. If it is fine for you its a Application error and I think you will get more support from a forum dedicated to Visual Basic.

I have tested other bluetooth devices including a keyboard and a pen from an SP4 and found no issues with pairing. After rolling back the update to 1607 with Windows recovery the problem does not occur. Is anyone else having this issue with their Surface Pro 3 machines, and if so, are you aware of any fixes, or is Microsoft planning on patching this with a post-1703 update?

SQL Server 2017, SQLCLR and Permissions
In SQL Server 2017, there has been some changes with regards to creating assemblies, and what is required of the assebmlies you want to create.

What feature are useless in Windows at installation?
I deem EVERY app that comes default as EVIL. For me the only thing that is supposed to be installed is WINDOWS STORE. all other [features] should not even BE installed.
1. If I need a calculator I will select 1 from the 1000000 in the store, I do NOT need 2 installed at the same time when I use only 1 -> the one of MY choice
2. I don't use 3D Builder or my laptop as a mobile phone or control the XBOX I don't have or any other shit. I USE MY LAPTOP AS A LAPTOP NOTHING MORE.
3. What use are "Download Skype" and "install Office" and all other "suggestions" when I use THE FULL PACKAGE from all of them. I have Skype installed so there is no use for the "install skyp" link that can't be removed. I have office 365 so I don't need the "OneNote app" and "Download office" links haning around. And not to mention all other apps I never use.
4. Why does uninstalling all that crap just lead to "hiding" them instead of removing? for thos looking you can find all this shit in C:\Program files\Windowsapps which you can't get access to becuase Microsoft doesn't like to show all the shit they do beind your back.
5. I use chrome AND DISGUST edge and IE since they are a web developers worst nightmare. The entire planet follows the web rules, but MS thinks it still is GOD because they won't follow the rules. No wonder you keep losing people to APPLE
5. Your "troubleshooting wizard" has since its inception never given a better answer then "go fuck yourself becuase we don't care about your problem". It has NEVER ever solved a problem correctly e.g. the wizard suggested that I have missing network protocols. It said that it had installed them, but the problem remains and the wizard happily reminded me that there were missing network protocols. So what the hell did the wizard do that it told me about and apparently DIDN'T do? Why is this piece of crap in there if it doesn't even do what it tells it is doing???? it just failes SILENTLY intrenally and instead of informing users, it acts like Donald Trump: "i know nothing".
6. even this editor I'm typing in can't even remove a blank line without screwing up my list. great job showing the rest of the planet how to NOT develop websites.
7. you developement tools e.g. Visual Studio are more becoming a "list of external components" instead of the "INTEGRATED development environment" that they are supposed to be.
8. The windows registry is the heart of windows and it has become a sespool of leftovers by dumb ass wannabee developers that can't even clean up after themselves after UNINSTALLING software. Not to mention all the other files they leave behind -> check your appdata and profile folder, you'll be surprise of the amout of crap that is left behind and KEEPS GETTING COIPPIED to ever device you log onto in an enterprise environment. Not to mention all entries in your documents and onedrive folders (or even your user folder) where they AGAIN stay out of sight.
for those that are not smart enough to get the point: I payed for WINDOWS and NOT for the half ass tools that come with it.
I have no need for 100 "standard" apps I do NOT use. I do NOT need the store telling me it REQUIRES windows firewall to be running just because I want to install 3rd party software.

I find it unfortunate when you say "My personal opinion is that the risks of TRUSTWORTHY are over exaggerated by some experts in the SQL server community, and I have yet to come across anyone that has been "bitten" by using TRUSTWORTHY."
Did you hear about anyone being bitten because they gave the sa password to everyone? People don't speak loud and clear when they have been victim to security incidents.
Of course, there can be environments where it can be OK to make databases trustworthy, because you would never get any idea to grant someone powers only on database level. And in the shop where I am, everyone knows the sa password, because they are all development servers. But I would never suggest that this is a good idea in general in a public post.
