windows phone 8 sdk certificates expired - windows-8

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.

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.

httpd.exe-The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Fix?

First of all, im running a Windows 64bit OS. I was having WAMPServer 2 and all of the modules were running good. I knew about WAMPServer 3 and decided to upgrade to it. As of its documentation, we should uninstall the old version , requires all updated Visual C++ Redistributable Packages and i did it as it said.
Checked WAMPServer 3 requirements and also checked with their check_vcredist tool and the result was good. I installed WAMPServer 3, all other modules were working but Apache is not opening and throwing a error message-"The Application was unable to start correctly(0xc0000005)". Apache worked properly in WAMPServer 2.
If anyone's got a solution, please respond to the topic!

Does netbeans IDE contain a virus?

I was looking at installing Netbeans 8.2 for working with PHP, java, HTML, etc. for various projects. However, when I download the installer both firefox and chrome inform me that the installer contains a virus. Is this a real problem?
It must be a false positive.
The SHA-256 checksum matches with the provided one in netbeans.org
It's a false positive, plus you can also download a zip file from netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html
I downloaded and installed version 8.2 on windows 10 64 bit twice and the OS gave me this message both times but I ignored it thinking that the OS just must have had a problem with how the package was signed. Later Windows defender removed two trojans. I would say there is a high likely-hood that the installer really does contain a virus and the netbeans team should look into it.
I went through and downloaded all the version of NetBeans (using chrome) and didn't get any issues.
The website I downloaded them from is https://netbeans.org/downloads/
I have(had) the same issue, perhaps it is getting blocked because it contains Java.
As the OP knows, there is the option to right-click 'Unblock' it...
It's definitely a false positive; I also downloaded it from 'netbeans.org'...

Geny motion failed to import OVA

Suddenly, i lost all Geny motion emulators (maybe after upgrading to Geny motion 2.2, not sure) and when ever i download a new virtual machine or emulator i get the "failed to import OVA" error and i can't use the virtual machines i downloaded at all in Geny motion, however they work in virtual box!
and i have cleared the cache and deleted old OVAs and re-downloaded other emulators again and again, but it's no use!
any clue what's going on?
is there a way to re-import emulators i already downloaded by Geny motion to Geny motion again instead of keeping downloading new emulators and getting the same error?
I solved the problem for myself. In my case, I had the same problem after defragmenting my computer. Deleting the ova and deploying files did not work (neither did reinstalling help). Solved it by clearing the cache in the app itself:
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to see if that helps. If it doesn't then I can't help.
So I upgraded to the latest version of Genymotion 2.6.0. Tried to install the new Virtual Devices and I got the same error.
I tried to clear the cache as suggested above but it didn't help instead it removed the downloaded .ova file of the device and I had to download again.
I checked for update on VirtualBox and it shows that you're on the latest build. I checked the version and it showed 4.2.x.
Checked the latest version on the site and damn... It was version 5.0 available on the website.
Upgraded the VirtualBox to the latest 5.0 and here you go... Everything was back in place and my Genymotion Virtual Device was imported and is running fine.
So do check the versions of VirtualBox and see if it is the latest available on the website.
Deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file, deleting the corrupted deployed image, redownloading the image, and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me.
Note that the deployed images are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed
the cached ova files are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova
this link : Unable to create Genymotion Virtual Device
Update :
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to upgrade VirtualBox to the latest release, this solved the problem for me.
UPDATE
Some VirtualBox version are not compatibles with genymotion: review FAQ Genymotions in https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#compatible-virtualbox-versions
If you see the log file of Genimotions you'll find this:
VBoxManage.exe: error: 'Linux_64' is not a valid Guest OS type
The problem is the version of Virtual Box, I thought I had the last version (4.2) because virtual box said me that it was the lastest version, but it wasn't true: The last version actually is 5.0.20
I've installed the last version (5.0.20), and ova is ok
If you're using Windows:
The folder left after uninstallation is located at:
C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\
Before proceeding, in the OVA folder, save the ova files in there if you do not want to redownload the images all over again.
Clear the Genymotion cache, and then uninstall Genymotion (and Oracle VBOX if needed)
Remove the whole Genymotion folder in the above path
Reinstall genymotion and VirtualBox
Copy back the ova files into the ova folder.
Re-add the virtual device accordingly (the ova files name should be identifiable easily enough)
Genymotion will then verify the integrity of the stuffs and should now works fine.
I just Run Genymotion with Administrator right (run as Administrator)! It work perfect!
I had the same issue and also tried deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file and old images but to no avail.
To get my Genymotion working again in my environment I completely uninstalled VirtualBox and Genymotion using the TrashMe app to ensure no trace was left on my system. You can achieve the same result with the free app App Cleaner.
I then completely deleted the ~/.Genymobile directory as this seems to get left behind when deleting/uninstalling Genymotion. I think this is the only thing I did differently this time.
I then re-downloaded the latest versions of VirtualBox and Genymotion and installed them in that order. (Versions at time of writing: VB - 4.3.13 r93733 / GM - 2.2.2)
I then launched Genymotion, connected to my account, added a new device and I am now back up and running.
Hopefully that helps..
I encountered this error when my hard drive was almost full. It looked like it had enough space for the emulator, but Genymotion still failed with failed to import eva
Solved by freeing up a couple Gigs on disk.
Updating VirtualBox to the latest version, Worked for me
I deleted all the virtual devices and cleared Cache. After that I added the device again. Worked for me.
I had the same problem, I fixed it with uninstalling, reinstalling and running Gennymotion with Admin rights. Make sure you not upgrade Oracle VM and use the one you installed with Genymotion. Also at installing Genymotion make sure you reinstall VM too. It should work, I lost my devices too and this method only solve the OVA problem. If you run the virtual device and get an error, reboot computer, if you didn't do after installing Oracle VM. Hope it helped.
it turns for me I restored the system from the backup
Click geny settings->virtualbox tab, have to correct the folder to keep the VM
I had deleted /Users//.Genymobile/ directory and Genimotion started work fine
make sure you choose the correct android sdk
in Linux
just delete
home/user/.config/Genymobile/Genymotion.conf
and it's work
I downloaded ova that match with version i want (example android 5)

then add ova file to genymotion

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.
