I would like to disable Windows 10 IoT update. I am using Rpi2 and 3. My app is running as default and I am using it for remote control of electronic devices. When the IoT is updating, app is not working and I need to have my app avalaible 24/7. Do you know how to do it?
The answer is simple. You have to stop and disable the update service. Both is done by PS script that is on this website
Go to control panel -> administrative tools -> services
try to find windows update
double click on it select disable

I need to integrate Datadog monitoring on Apache web servers which are on Windows servers. Is there a link/blog available detailing the same for Windows server specifically ? I got a blog link from Datadog but it seems not to cover Windows servers. Need it specifically for Windows servers.
Window option available... Go to integration and click on agents.. There is an option available windows ( left side ).. Click on windows then u get link..... Just copy the link and paste it on ur windows Server.... Then datadog starts monitoring... It takes 5 minutes to monitor
So I have Windows IoT running on a RPi2, I deployed an app ( which was working fine in the debugger) and set it to run headless at startup. It seems to be throwing and unhandled exception on boot which is causing the Windows to then reboot. Is there anyway to prevent the app from starting and get out of the reboot loop to allow deployment of a new version? Seems Windows IoT is a bit unstable if it has to reboot because one startup app fails.
Use the Windows 10 IoT Core App to connect to the Admin Webpage of your page and change the default start app. Ok, you must be fast during the boot process to get to change it ;) HTH
Looking to migrate my application to Windows 8 as a side-loaded LOB app but I inherently require 2 monitors. One for full-screen 1080p video and one for touch-input. Is this possible? Thank you.
Just to update the answer to this question.
As of Windows 8.1 RTM you can now run metro apps on multiple monitors simultaneously.
Windows Store apps do not support running on more than one monitor, no.
When you launch a Windows Store app, it will appear on whichever monitor shows the Start Screen when the Windows key is pressed. The end user can change this, if desired, using the Win+PgUp or Win+PgDn shortcut keys.
Is their any sites available to download windows 8 metro apps for offline installation. Alternative to windows store.Because i don't have internet connection in home.
Please tell me any sites ?
You have to be connected to install Windows 8 Store apps. You cannot sideload an app that has been downloaded from the Windows Store.
Alternatively, you can get your app directly from the developer without involving the Store, in which case, installation can be offline. Apps that aren't signed by Windows Store can only be installed on sideloading-enabled devices.
Actually you can install Windows apps offline, I did it by capturing the URL windows store referring to, it was a file with .appx or .appxbundle extension. However, the URL contained some security information referring to the Windows Store session and user id. It means you cannot multi-part-download it or resume it if disconnected, very disappointing in case of games with 2 Gb or more data. After that, I installed these packages with PowerShell command
Add-AppxPackage [Disk:\File Location\File name.appx]
without brackets. It installed and worked correctly.
Waiting for a dedicated side-software (Like Cydia or smith.) that does it in one-click.
It is only a few days for Windows app store to be live and unfortunately in your case, NO option to it for now.
I may be SOL on this but I thought I would give throw it out for possible solutions.
I am writing a computer access control service to help me control my kids' computer use. Plan on open sourcing it when I have it working. It is written in VB.Net and needs to work on XP through 7.
I am running into all sorts of security and desktop access issues on Windows 7. The service needs to run as admin to execute the NetSh command to disable the network. But I cannot interact with the desktop from the service so I IPC to a UI to handle other stuff, but I still cannot detect from the service if the desktop is locked. Argghh!
I could get it all working from a hidden windows form app if I could just lick the one piece that needs admin permissions: disabling the network.
It does no good if a kid logs on and denies the popup asking if the program should run as administrator and he says no. Also windows 7 will not start a program set to run as admin using
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Anyone know how to get this working? Or have an outside the box solution?
I wish I could provide some references, but I'm failing at my google-fu right now... but I'm pretty sure UAC doesn't apply to services. If you implement your program as a windows service application instead of a (hidden) windows forms application, and set it up to run for your kids' user accounts and not your own, that should work.
UPDATE
Found this on google, haven't played with it at all. Looks sound though... basically, CreateProcessAsUser to run the forms app from your service app that's running as administrator.
