So, my knowladge in embedded development is quite bad and now I am trying to receive some data from PC inside my MCu STM32F429IGT6 which is on WaveShare Core4X9I dev-board and send it back via USB Virtual COM Port.
I realized how to set up connection from MCu part and I even see connected device from Windows 10 Device Manager but... it appears as STM Device in DFU Mode
I have tryed already to install drivers from ST for such things but they are useless and official documentation says that they are not needed for Windows 10.
I have been following tutorials where guys just clicked several times inside Cube MX, generated code and VCP worked out of the box.
The question is what am I doing wrong? I don`t even know what information you might ask for thats why I created GitHub repo: https://github.com/dessy4oko/stm32f429-vcp-appears-as-dfu
And this is events from Device Manager of Windows 10 (translation from ru lang):
Device USB\VID_0483&PID_DF11\305233703237 is running. code 410
Device USB\VID_0483&PID_DF11\305233703237 is configured. code 400
Device USB\VID_0483&PID_DF11\305233703237 have not been moved due to partial or ambiguous matching. code 442
Device USB\VID_0483&PID_DF11\305233703237 requires further installation. code 430
Thank you for any information about my mistakes.
STM32 starts in DFU mode if BOOT-pins are pulled accordingly:
"System memory" means embedded bootloader, DFU in this case. You need "Main Flash" to run your app.
Check jumpers and switches on your board. Refer also to the AN2606 app note for complete information.
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.
A really simple but dragged me many days that I cannot figure out how:
I've setup synergy on my Mac as a client, using Ubuntu as the server.
But now I wanted to switch to use Mac as server and Ubuntu as client.
The question now I'm facing is that synergy settings page never show up, each time I try to open it, it just appears in less than 0.1 second, then it disappeared.
Because I've set it up already and I don't need the reconfigure the Ip addresses etc.
This is convenient.
But now I wanted to switch server/client roles, I need to reconfigure it, however the settings page of synergy never shows up to let me configure it, does anyone have the same issue?
I tried to uninstall synergy on my Mac, but when I reinstall it back, it automatically configures itself again and quickly disappears and runs in the background.
It's been a pain for me.
You can't start the Server on Yosemite, because you need to grant access to the process (Synergy) to control your computer:

doing that with Synergy should work.
We use some virtual machines at work for testing. For example, if someone reports some weird bug that only happens on a specific OS we can just fire up the machine and debug it. Problem is that we may be outsourcing part of our testing workflow and we were discussing if it is legal or not to have Windows VM images available for third party download.
I would think that if we just set them and then remove the Key it is fine, but I cannot find somewhere were this is written explicitly. Has anybody had any problem like this before?
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.

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.

I found the solution in this blog

It worked fine for me
