Default DPI Setting for all users

We're using LCD TVs in our conference rooms and I need to set these systems to use a higher DPI scaling so the text is readable from the table. The trouble is in Windows 10 the setting applies to the User and not the system, so each user has to set it manually, log out, log back in. It's a process that they won't do on their own, then complain that the text is unreadable. 

Has anyone found a way to enable a default setting or apply the setting to all users (including new or never logged on before) of a system? These are 1080 displays so they're defaulting to 100%.

Thanks!

Windows 10 Random Freezes

A small business client has an HP ProBook 470 G4 running Windows 10 Pro 64, in a workgroup, no domain. Around Oct. 10th or so, it began exhibiting random freezes, where all open applications became unresponsive.

Being tech savvy, when a freeze occurred the user hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to access Task Manager, and found that the act of hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del by itself caused the computer to resume being responsive, and she was able to continue working. At the beginning of this issue, this was occurring 3 or 4 times daily. NO MATTER HOW LONG SHE WAITS when a freeze occurs,5 seconds or 15 minutes, the computer remains frozen until hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del, when it immediately becomes responsive again.

The System Logs are not showing any errors or warnings created when the freezes occur. For example, several freezes have occurred today and the log summary...

Unload shared library/don't without rebooting

Gents
An uninstaller of our program wants to reboot the PC for pending deletions.
I notice that there is only one .ttf Font file which seems to be loaded by the System.
Is there ANY way to kick out the shared font live?
I tried removing the files from the windows/fonts folder and deleted the registry files pointing to the ttf.
I also deleted the FONTS CACHE file and tried unsuccessful REGSVR32 -u
Nothing helps.

Is there any way to READOUT all currently active loaded shared libraries and can I unload them?
All I like to do is NO REBOOT

Send self-destructing email internally

Hey all,

We've been exploring the Azure Rights Management and native encryption offerings in Office 365, and one of my security guys asked if it could be possible (maybe with retention tags?) to send an email that will automatically be deleted 24 hours later.

I've read the existing documentation on retention tags and it seems that those would be applied by the recipient - I can't find a way to enforce a 24-hour deletion tag on an email when it's sent.

I also can't seem to find any other way to do this outside of some hokey Powershell script that could select the message from all mailboxes and delete it.

Anyone have a way of letting a sender tag an email in a certain way and then having that email delete itself a day later from all recipients' mailboxes? Internally, of course. I know once the message leaves our tenant we've got no say over...

Office 365 licensing shared computer desktop activation

I have ~11 faculty and ~100 students at our small community college. Many of the students are unable to use office 365 desktop apps. Lately, the message that shows up is an inability to determine shared computer licensing.

Each student has A1 plus for students assigned. In order to solve this problem, I have to:

-Assign Active Directory Premium P1 to a student
-Uninstall Office 32 bit
-Install Office 64 bit

Is there a way to do this for all students at once from Office 365 admin, active directory or intune?

I have relatively good problem solving skills and lots of experience with computing, but zero formal training in networking and licensing management. We have an out-of-house IT company that has been unresponsive lately and I'm trying to take more responsibility for our networking and user management. Any direction or assistance is...

Altaro Backup blows out network connection

I'm really trying to like Altaro VM Backup and ready to buy if I can get it to work right, but not having much luck. I'm am running the backup program from a Windows 10 VM. I want to backup to a Netgear ReadyNAS 626x (SMB 3.0). Originally I was trying to back up to an SMB share, backing up 4 VMs. Every time I tried to back up using a scheduled backup (set to run at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00) one of the backups would invariably fail with an authentication error. All four backed up to the same location on the NAS with the same credentials. Additionally, the same thing would happen when I tried to run a manual backup, but intermittently. Why only one would fail (not necessarily the same VM) is perplexing. In any case, I tried running the same four backups to another computer instead of the NAS and it seemed to run fine. Then I decided...

Latitude E5540 won't boot to USB or CD, but will to HDD.
I have a Latitude E5540 and can't seem to boot to USB or CD, but it boots fine off the HDD. If I hit F12 during POST, I can get to the boot selection screen and select the appropriate device.

If I try USB or CD, the screen remains black and the laptop does nothing, even after leaving it for 15-30 minutes.

This is the only E5540 I have. Most of the other latitudes I have are E5520, E5530, and E5550. Those models seem to have no problems booting via USB or CD. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the model, or just a setting somewhere.

I checked the BIOS settings. Originally it was set to boot using UFEI and secure boot disabled. I switched to legacy boot, and I still wasn't able to boot from CD/USB.

The laptop was running BIOS version A05. I updated to A23, but there was no...

Adobe Acrobat printing stuck on checking fonts

I have a user with Adobe Acrobat Standard DC (2015).  Last week they started having an issue where it would freeze when they tried to print certain (not all) Word or Excel documents to PDF using the Distiller.  Each time the processing would get stuck on "checking fonts."  A repair of Adobe did not fix the issue, but a reinstall did.  Then yesterday the user started having the same problem again.  I checked the Font Locations in Distiller and there was one folder location that didn't exist so I removed it, but that did not fix the issue.  The documents print to PDF fine from another computer, and the Create PDF add-on in Word and Excel on his computer both also convert the documents to PDF fine, it is only when he tries to print to PDF that the process freezes.  Any ideas?

Magic The Gathering Arena

Hey Video Game Spiceheads, I've been on and off Magic The Gathering the actual TCG for a long time now, everything from Friday Night Magic at the local card shops doing Legacy and Standard to just enjoying EDH with friends from time to time. The PC market for MTG has always been a bit lack luster though, the steam games never really offered a decent card selection and never really let you customize a deck from the ground up. Magic The Gathering Online was also a bit lack luster but not because of card options but from a graphical point of view, being made in 2002 thats kind of understandable. While it let you make decks from the ground up and even compete in multiplayer Drafts and a Sealed Deck style tournys it didn't seem too impressive to me.

Now we have magic The Gathering Arena, which is both graphically pleasing to the eye and...

Hi All,

I have an HP Z210 SFF desktop with an Nvidia P600 low profile card running on Windows 10 64 bit. Would like to get a 3 monitor hooked up using either the onboard DP or VGA port.

I've enabled the integrated graphics on the BIOS, but the system won't detect the ports and I cant seem to figure out what's going on.

Anyone else have a similar situation that can lend a hand?

Moving AD GPO central store

We have been having AD issues for a while now (years) started with time skew then failure to push MSI files, etc. We added a new DC with server 2016 to the domain with the 2008 and 2008R2 servers and now hardly any GPOs push. We changed a policy for password complexity and it will not work on any domain accounts, but our local admin account on the PCs it is somehow affecting and requiring the password to be made compliant. My coworker said something about the 2008R2 server having a GPO centeral store. The one server we are trying to replace had all the FSMO roles, they have been moved to the new 2016 server. I was thinking the only reason I know of that the 2008R2 would have the GPOs would be it was the newest DC, but now that seems like it should be moved to the 2016 server. I can't find any relation to this and the FSMO roles, and...

Counting number of rows that fit certain criteria

This seems quite basic and according to what I have found on W3 schools, I am setting this up correctly. However, it is returning incorrect result sets.

Below is the code that I am using. The goal is to have it return the count of rows that fit certain criteria. In this area = '000510' and ownership = '50' and the naicscode beginning with 11 and 21. Currently it returns 252, If i put the data set in excel and narrow it down using filters, it returns 4 rows. 

Do I need to add another clause or a Select Distinct?

Text
select count (*) from dbo.stfirms201701
where area = '000510' and ownership ='50' and naicscode like '11%' or naicscode like '21%'
