Windows 10 Check Activation Key

[Jason]

Isthere a way to check the Splunk version number in Windows? Having a hard time tracking it down. Add/Remove Programs lists "a" version number (i.e. "107.2.31363") but that is not matching up to the publish splunk version / build numbers. I'm not seeing the Version property as being set on splunk.exe or splunkd.exe etc. Thanks!

I would like to periodically check if the process started by my application is still running.Two or more processess with the same name can run simultaneously and I want to be sure that my application is checking the correct process.

Call WaitForSingleObject on that handle, and use a timeout parameter of zero. If the process is still running, the function will return Wait_Timeout; if the process has terminated, then it will return Wait_Object_0 (because process termination causes its handles to become signaled.)

This section contains descriptions of common bug check codes that are displayed on the blue bug check screen. This section also describes how you can use the !analyze extension in the Windows Debugger to display information about a bug check code.

Provide the stop code parameters to the !analyze command to display any available parameter information. For example, to display information on Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, with a parameter 1 value of 0x3, use !analyze -show 0x9F 0x3 as shown here.

When a bug check occurs, a dump file may be available that contains additional information about the contents of memory when the stop code occurred. To understand the contents of memory during a failure, knowledge of processor memory registers and assembly is required.

Live Dump stop codes to not reset the OS, but allow for the capture of memory information for abnormal situations where the operating system can continue. For information about live dumps, see Bug Check Code Reference - Live Dump.

After this, if you are expecting incoming connections on this port and feel that the firewall may be blocking them, you could use start windows firewall logging and check the logs for dropped connections

If you are running an application/service that is listening on 3306, the firewall config should show it to be Enabled. If this is not seen, you have probably missed adding an exception with the firewall to allow this app/service.

Finally, port 3306 is typically used for MySQL. So, I presume you are running MySQL server on this windows machine. You should therefore see a listener for 3306 accepting incoming connections. If you do not see that, you need to work with your application (MySQL) to get that started first.

NETSTAT will tell you if the port is listening but it will not tell you if the port is open to the outside world. What I mean by this is that NETSTAT may show that the 0.0.0.0 is LISTENING on port 3306 but a firewall may still be blocking that port which is preventing outside connections; so it isn't sufficient to rely on NETSTAT alone.

NOTE 2: if the NTP service doesn't automatically start on reboot, it might be due to its start settings, as described here: depending on your windows, it might be set to start only when it joins a domain. You can check with:

If it's configured to start when you join a domain, and you don't have a domain set up in your machine, it will not start the service and set the time. It probably doesn't join a domain because you don't want it to. In any case, just change which trigger starts it. For example, to start when the machine has network (and therefore is able to access the server), do:

Seems like that should be enough at least to get going in that direction, that is, if I understood your question. AFAIK, the 'reg' command works on all these different platformsso long as you have the right services running.

Since the past 6 months we have been getting around 50-70 random computers every month not booting up after the pending reboot after installation of monthly patches from Microsoft. The computers get stuck at the HP logo (All of our computers are HP elitebook but different generations) with spinning wheel.

After creating a windows dump file and analysing it with help from Microsoft, they have identified the problem to be the Checkpoint zone alarm firewall driver vsdatant.sys interfering with letting Microsoft drivers loading. As I have noticed the vsdatant.sys driver is loading at high priority at kernel stage and therefore blocking everything else.

We are not able to recreate the problem, it affects random computers every month, one month a computer can install the patches and boot up after restart without problem other month same computer is failing. Troubleshooting this has not been easy.

When booting in safe mode or disabling the vsdatant.sys file temporarly the computer boots up and finnishing up the patch installation. And then when we enable it we cant restart the computer without any isse.

We created a ticket to Checkpoint and awaiting response. April patches just released and when deploying to a pilot group we already got one crashed computer so we are not confident enough to rollout the patches.

We are only using CheckPoint endpoint VPN on the computer and are using Windows defender as main firwall/antivirus. We had a working solution since Windows 7 where we never got any issue, after upgrading to Windows 10 we only upgraded the VPN client on the computers to a supported version for the specific Windows release, no change in config has been done on the server side. From my understanding that should not be necessary since the only policy that is downloaded to the client when using the VPN is just IP rules. However, my knowledge of the network part is limited... but since its working fine for so many computers and random computers are failing i dont think thats an issue. Worth mentioning is that we use UEFI, SecureBoot. Is Secureboot maybe causing this?

We have more than 5000 Clients and work with a Change Mgmt (ITIL conform) - this takes a very long time period to organizice /test/ create a Empirum-paket/ get approval /rollout in all over the world in my company.

Also it works only if I copy text from say word for example and paste it into a new email in outlook. spell check is always working in word it's just outlook. So if I type a heap of jumbled characters the spell checker doesn't underline in red (like MS word is doing) I have been though all the troubleshooting with a Microsoft support agent who has checked my settings via remote assistance and he also couldn't get it to work. He checked and said that he is having the same issue with Outlook 2021 on his work machine.

@Autistic_EwokMy question is when setting up my Microsoft profile just now to be able to reply to the question here, why is Microsoft asking to enter my work email if I am a 365 user? That isn't the only option, a work email, so why are they specifically asking for only a work email? I do not have a work email (retired), but I am a 365 user.

As for the Outlook spell check feature, very surprising to see all of the experts talking about all of the options for spell check in Outlook, because this is directly from Outlook: "Although Outlook.com does not have a spell check function, many web browsers automatically check your spelling, including Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10 and later versions, and current versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Check the options for your web browser to learn more about how to check spelling."

Thank you, I misunderstood the question then. I have been dealing with Outlook issues this week and was looking for answers regarding spell check while typing reply email messages. I thought this was the same thing, but apparently there are several options when dealing with Outlook (web based, app and Office).

After a few days of frustration where my terrible keyboard skills were delivering many typos, and no little red line underneath to warn me, I went on a search for the answer. Nothing in the MS system worked but eventually I discovered a fix within the browser. I use Chrome so will use this as my example: Chrome settings-languages-spell check. Turns out all these had been switched off for some reason, flicked them back to on and I have my red lines again showing me how bad my keyboard skills are.

Hope this helps someone else as there doesn't seem to be a built in spell check option for the O365 online email offering.

To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device. With these updates, you might sometimes notice that your browser looks different.

The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.

Blue is one of my favorite colors, but when it takes over my entire screen, I start to panic . . . and for good reason. The Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) appears suddenly when your computer crashes and leaves you with two gripping questions: "why did this happen" and "will it happen again?"

Last week, my computer hit me with the blue screen of death shown at the top of this page, a Kernel Security Check Failure, and my monitor wasn't the only one wearing a frown. I got this BSOD twice, both times when I started playing a video in my browser.

The first time, I actually had some weird wavy lines in my web browser before it happened. The second time, which occurred a couple of days later, everything was cool but I had just started playing something on Netflix when it hit me. I was using Windows 10, but this same BSOD can occur on Windows 11 as well.

I started to think that this is not a fluke and I need to do something to remedy the situation so I followed the steps one usually takes when trying to fix a Windows BSOD. First, I searched for the specific error "Kernel Security Check Failure," and I did not find any official documentation from Microsoft, but rather a series of forum posts on answers.microsoft.com and other forums and social media.
