Hyper V "This PC can't run Windows 11" but I am using a ISO file for windows 10 - virtual-machine

I am currently trying to get my Hyper-V virtual machine to work. But it keeps saying "this PC can't un windows 11"
The problem is.. I am using the ISO file from windows 10
I tried making another virtual machine multiple times. But that did not work either.

VBA issues in Windows 11?

I recently upgraded to Windows 11. I'm fully updated and have the latest Office 365 updates as well. Unfortunately, I'm finding that my "DoCmd.SetWarnings True" VBA actions no longer work in all my legacy Access apps. The action still works fine on my Windows 10 and Server 2019 devices. Anyone else experiencing this (or other VBA issues?)
Thanks!
It appears that during the installation of Office 365 on my new Windows 11 laptop, the Action Queries check box in Options -> Client Settings is disabled by default. This affected all databases on my laptop. I enabled it and all works fine.

Will an AHK script be running on a virtual machine even if i minimize it?

I really want to run an ahk script in a windows 10 virtual machine and then minimize the virtual machine so I can use my computer normally while the script is running. I am asking because I do not currently have the virtual machine and I wouldn't like to go through all this procedure just to find out that it is not working. Has anyone from you tried it out? Do I need any software? Do I have to install the machine on a specific VM software?
So, yes it works. I tried it on windows 7 64 bit and the script is currently running in the minimized windows 7 virtual Box windows while I am typing this answer. Though, the mouse is not moving when using commands such as MouseMove x, y , click, x, y, etc. (at least for me on windows 7 64 bit) So you have to go to control panel -> hardware and sound -> mouse -> pointer options (on the windows that has opened) -> display pointer trails. Because it is annoying, you can drag the bar to low. Hope it helped :)

I have got a mouse offset in VMWare VSphere Client when I click on the desktop

Hello everyone and sorry for my mistakes,
I am new with the virtual machine and I have to work on it. To do so, my school forced me to work on VMWare VSphere Client. The version I am currently using is the 5.5.
My problem is that when I do a right on the desktop, there is an offset between the mouse and the menu. I tried to unistall and reinstall it, but this problem always appears. I also tried to tun it with the Windows 7 compatibility and the others compatibility.
My problem : Offset between the mouse and the menu
I know that this problem is due to my computer because the same version of VMWare VSpere Client works perfectly on similar computers but not on mine.
My computer config :
ASUS K501UW
RAM 8Go
64 Bits
Intel Core i7
Tank you by advance for yours helps.
This is really very late, but perhaps this helps others. I had the mouse click problem with Windows 10 and viclient 5.5 too. This was because I was using custom display scaling in Windows 10. I changed to de-select the option "Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" and then the mouse clicks worked again in viclient. I did not have to disable custom scaling.

PDF IFilter Not Working On Server

We are using IFilters to get the text content from PDFs and this is working fine locally but when we run the code on the server we are getting the following error:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component
We are using searchFilterView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/search_filter_view.html) and the same adobe IFilter is installed on the server (Windows Web Server 2008 R2 64bit) as is installed on my local machine (Windows 8.1 64bit) but it isn't working on the server.
Has anyone had any similar issues with the IFIlter (.pdf, AcroExch.Document.11, Adobe Acrobat Document, application/pdf) on Windows Server?
We encountered the same problem. The PDF filter works on windows 7 but failed to load on windows server 2008. The solution is to assign the process running the PDF filter to a JobObject (look here). In this post you can read about ADOBE dirty trick that causes this problem.

Automatically launch app on USB (through autorun?)

Is it possible to automatically launch an application from a USB flash drive (bypassing windows prompt asking user what he wants to do)? on windows XP or vista.
I looked into "autorun.inf" and "open" entry seems to work only for CD drives for Windows XP SP2+ and Vista. Is it possible to launch program automatically on all windows versions?
I don't care if autorun is disabled by user in Windows settings.
First of all, some people choose to disable autorun for security reasons; but Windows computers up to Vista have it enabled. Edit: Apparently the functionality was removed from Windows 7 onwards.
Put a file named autorun.inf in the root of your USB flash drive. This is what's in mine:
[Autorun]
Open=PStart.exe
Action=Start portable apps
Icon=diskicon.ico
What it does: when you insert this disk, starts PStart.exe
On older computers, the program specified in Open= will launch automatically.
On most modern computers (Windows XP SP2+, Vista), dialog "what do you want to do" will be displayed (for security reasons), but what you have in autorun.inf will display as the selected default, with Icon= as icon and Action= as description. If you want to launch it, just click the "OK" button in the dialog.
So, although I'm not aware of any way to start the application (e.g. PStart) immediately, it is possible to insert flash disk with this configuration and start application by clicking OK.
Tested on different computers, running Windows XP without a SP, also on Windows XP sp 1, sp2, sp3, and on various Vistas (not sure which types, but should work all the way from Vista Home Basic to Vista Enterprise Super-Mega-Premium-Extended Edition) and "Windows 7". Also works on Windows 2000 (although autorun on Win2000 for removable drives is not enabled in default configuration).
Note that some applications, in addition, may trigger the "unknown/unsigned exacutable" security dialog, as if you opened them manually.
Edit: For more details, see also:

I've had something set up on my USB keys for a while now. Using the autorun.inf file will work, depending on your system's settings for autorun. Some disable it altogether after that little debacle with Sony a couple years back installing rootkit software on peoples' machines. Here're a couple articles to check out.
Label a Flash Drive with Your Name and Number
Have Your Lost USB Drive Ask For Help (1) or 2
you need UseAutoplay to let this work on usb.
and if you take ShellExecute instead of open you can also open scripts/documents/...
[Autorun]
ShellExecute=System\something.exe
UseAutoplay=1
there are also U3 usb sticks arround, they will be reconised as cdrom drives in windows.
if you put an a autorun.inf on one of those, it will get executed without the user being questioned.
