ArcGIS initializing or loading error: unable to establish connection to https://www.arcgis.com - arcgis

I've been having issues opening Arcgis pro for a few days. I've tried all the options provided by the ESRI help team and nothing has worked so far. I have set the TLS 1.2 requirement, the organization and group permissions, added it to trusted sites on my anti virus, etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ArcGIS pro and it didn't work. I uninstalled a few programs I though were redundant on my system and suspect that I may have touched once of its dependencies. I uninstalled a version of conda, visual studio, and I suspect a version of python too. This was all in a bid to get arcpy working on this system as the import arcpy command through python IDLE and Pycharm came back with errors. I still have other versions on the system but still can't load Arcgis pro. The help team reached out last 24 hours ago as this error is unusual.
Do you have any ideas on how to get my pro working again please?

power automate desktop not connecting with browser extension

I have installed the latest versions of power automate desktop and browser extension, and I'm using the Microsoft Edge browser, before the latest update come, it worked perfectly, but after the update it not working.
every time I run the flow it shows this error:
"Failed to assume control of Microsoft Edge (Communication with browser failed. Try reloading extension)."
With the new version you also have to make sure developer tools are enabled in your browser.
See the information here about manifest v3
When I updated to the latest version of PAD I also had major issues lucky I was able to roll back to the previous version.
I'm aware this might not solve your issue, but the only way I could get mine working again was to uninstall 2.27 and reinstall 2.26, lucky I had the install for 2.26 as I couldn't find a previous version download link on the MS website anywhere.

VS Code Platform-IO configuration

I had been using Platform-IO up to 2019 but when I reopened a project things started getting worse and worse. Tasks disappeared and it took a while to be able to compile again. Now Platform-IO has disappeared completely and I was getting deprecation warnings in the "Toggle developer tool' console.
Now after a complete reinstall of VS, Platform-IO etc. the IDE is still not functioning and I regret ever using it. It is like you jump into your car begging it to start. For professional use (able to restart your car every day without a mechanics) this solution needed to be solid and reliable which it does not seem to be. I will have to switch to another IDE I guess. The name Microsoft should have make me hesitate ...
I am using Windows 7 Professional and NO I WILL NOT UPGRADE THE OS.
Is there any means to install a functioning VS-Code / Platform-IO on Windows 7 or is it just an idea of an IDE ?
Sorry to appear mean but "Making you more productive" sounds like a scorn.
I recently tried installing Platform IO on a Win 7 PC of a colleague and experienced similar issues like you. Seems like current Platform IO versions / builds are not compatible and therefore not runnable on Windows 7.
Only idea comes to my mind is using legacy / previous releases of VS Code and Platform IO (manual plugin installation with a legacy release) to get a runnable environment on Win 7, but I didn't test it since I ended up installing a recent Ubuntu next to Win 7. (Seemed like a better solution to me).
Here you can find all of the older releases of VS Code & Platform IO:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_64

Good luck ;)

windows phone 8 sdk certificates expired

I have tried to install wp8 sdk on my windows 8 laptop, but everytime I try to do so, the installation stops with an error saying that some of the certificates expired. Then the installation crashes and I need to start it again. I have already tried multiple ways of reinstalling SDK even following Microsoft's advice to install and run the following files from the download folder:
Download the Win8SharedSDKTools.msi package and install it.
Download the Windows_SDK/69661e20556b3ca9456b946c2c881ddd.cab package
Download the Windows_SDK/e072b3b3d3164e26b63338dce51862a7.cab package
Download the Windows_SDK/e3d1b35aecfccda1b4af6fe5988ac4be.cab package
But this issue with certificates continues to come up.
Is there any way of overcoming this problem?
What is wrong with these certificates and what these certificates stand for?
Is there a problem with my laptop?
Thanks!
The only workaround I know so far is changing the date of your computer back to June before launching the installation. Once the SDK is installed, you can switch your system back to the current date.
yes. Change the date August 1 and install the windows SDK. once you successfully installed the vs you can change your date. this is the only problem.

Windows 8 pro reset

I've bought windows 8 upgrade for my windows 7 pc. I've payed, downloaded, but unfortunatly, for the entusiasm of that moment, I haven't burned a dvd or usbkey for having the iso. Now, after two week I had a bsod after a synchronization with skydrive, and after this, my pc is "broken" (I've tryed everything) ...
So, now I want to do a reset but I haven't got the install dvd (I've already tried with a refresh but nothing usefull happens) . I've searched everywhere on web but is not clear what I have to do... (I'm not able to find any official download for win8 pro) I've bought my upgrade, but I can't reinstall it? It's strange and it sounds a little silly...
Any hint?
I had the same problem. Because you own the license, you can download a Windows 8 pro from "the internet" and install it with your key. Just be sure to download a official iso with a valid hash (it doesn't matter if you get it from unofficial sources).
Of course you can also call Microsoft for support, but the former solution is so easy.

Simple-OpenNI for Processing fatal errors with the Kinect

I have been using SimpleOpenNI, a wrapper for Processing, all summer now. I use it for the Kinect to make games and demos. Last week, I have been getting a fatal error in my processing window and none of the SimpleOpenNI projects will work. Here is the error:
SimpleOpenNI Version 0.20
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x72e8f955, pid=4596, tid=4624
JRE version: 6.0_24-b07
Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (19.1-b02 mixed mode windows-x86 )
Problematic frame:
C [OpenNI.dll+0xf955]
An error report file with more information is saved as:

If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
It appears as if the new OpenNI/NITE/SensorKinect drivers do not work with the SimpleOpenNI wrapper. I have tried it with people using the old drivers and everything still works. Problem is, you cannot download the old drivers off of the websites so I cannot test if it's that or not. You can see everything I've downloaded from the simpleopenni site: http://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/
Any help with this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like there's a problem with OpenNI.dll. Make sure that:
You have the dll (It should be in Program Files where you've installed OpenNI)
Make sure you've got the Environment Variables for the Open NI paths and that the paths are correct, otherwise, you might have the .dll file, but the .jnilib wouldn't know where it is.
Had a Kinect Workshop in Uni, and my colleagues using Windows all had issues with the drivers,
so I'm just passing on what they did:
Even though they had 64-bit versions of Windows they used the 32-bit version, and used Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe(direct link via developkinect.com) after reading this message:
Comment 4 by tijmenva...#gmail.com, Oct 21, 2011 Hey all I have Solved
the unsatisfied link dll error on windows 7 64 bits by installing java
runtime (jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe)and (Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto
Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe) I uninstalled everything
and than it worked :)
hope this helpes
in Issue#17 on the SimpleOpenNI project issues page.
Another colleague used Synapse and OSC in Processing instead of SimpleOpenNI, but she had loads of errors with the drivers (basically spent a few good hours uninstalling/installing different versions). In her case, uninstalling any previous partial or complete drivers from the machine and deleting any registry entries related to PrimeSense(Sensor, Nite) and OpenNI, then using the installers from the links on the Synapse page, worked for her.
HTH
This is a long shot, but that exact error is also given if the Kinect USB and/or power supply simply becomes unplugged. Thought it was worth mentioning as it is not obvious from the error message itself and it may help someone out if they kicked their power supply and started searching for the above exception :)
