Re: Obs Not Opening Windows 10
Mathilda Gibby
I have tried everything I can think of, I've had two friends who deal with IT problems look at my computer via shared screen with no luck. Since updating to Windows 11 I never noticed Windows Security would not open until recently, it's active and running in the background in Task Manager. I've tried the Powershell and CMD hotfixes, I've reset my PC locally and cloud but I have no restore or recovery points prior to the Windows 11 update. My PC is up to date on all firmware from Microsoft but Windows Security still will not open. Windows Security nor Windows Defender is not listed under my "Installed Apps" or "Default Apps" so I can't try a drop down repair on it. It does show within my Task Manager that there is Windows Defender engine running and in the hidden icons tab it shows Windows Security active. How do you fix this without having to lug your whole PC to a shop?
Repair Windows Security using DISM: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following commands: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
@ShahbazUbaid my windows license is already expired. and i am not getting any security updates ever since. and that is also the time where i noticed that my windows security app won't open. is it because of my windows license bein expired? do you think if i reactivate my license, it will solve my problem?
@TayDean It's early 2024 and I am in the same boat since the most recent update. In all their wisdom, Microsoft has removed Troubleshooter with this update and wants me to contact tech support. The last time I did that, I was 77 people away from help. I do not have that kind of time.
I've tried all the suggestions here except reinstalling Windows, which is a major hassle and would require hunting down the software I use for work and reinstalling it too. I had to do this once last week because a previous update crashed my computer. It created all manner of work-related issues.
This is really dumb and Microsoft should have fixed this already. But I'm open to more suggestions.
@ShahbazUbaid I appreciate the suggestion, but it didn't work. I'd actually tried it already along with a host of other suggestions found in other places, but thought I'd missed something. I did not.
I'm fairly sure I'm going to have to reinstall Windows again to fix this. It will have to wait until the weekend as I work full-time from home and this has eaten up far too much of my time as it is.
Exceedingly frustrating.
One reason indoor air quality is worse is the rate of dilution. If the air outside were an Olympic size swimming pool, your house would be more like a thimble of water. Pollutants simply become more concentrated inside a building.
Regularly opening your windows for short periods of time each day can greatly improve the scent of your home. You may not even need air fresheners anymore! They can add more chemical particles to the air.
Various studies indicate air quality has a profound effect on cognition. For example, a University of Tulsa research project found proper ventilation is important for learning. Researchers say student test scores improved when hot stuffy indoor air was replaced with cooler outdoor air.
I just downloaded and installed Android Studio. For whatever reason, it won't open. I've tried running it as administrator, but that doesn't seem to work either. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I'm still having this same problem.
Even though it found my JDK during installation, it wasn't able to find it when I was trying to open it, for some reason. Simple fix. Add a JDK_HOME environment variable to your system variables. It should contain the path to your JDK's ROOT directory. i.e. c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\
If Studio doesn't start after an upgrade, the problem may be due to an invalid Android Studio configuration imported from a previous version of Android Studio or an incompatible plugin. As a workaround, try deleting (or renaming, for backup purposes) the directory below, depending on the Android Studio version and operating system, and start Android Studio again. This will reset Android Studio to its default state, with all third-party plugins removed.
I already had JDK installed and jdk.1.7.0 folder was present in C:\Program Files\Java. But path for that folder didn't work. You must have jdk.1.7.xxx folder present on your machine and give that folder as JDK_HOME in Environment variable.
Click on Environment Variables button. A Winodw will open with 2 listboxes. Click on New button below System variables listbox. New Window will pop up. Provide name as JDK_HOME and path as your path like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_55". No need to take bin folder into the path.
None of the above mentioned solution worked for me. And there is no studio.bat file in bin directory.So, I downloaded a 32-bit android-studio for my system (as it is 32bit) from here (official website) and it worked!
You don't have to reinstall the Android Studio. In my case, I just deleted "C:\Users\User.AndroidStudio3.5" folder. Then Android Studio is opened. The folder contains just personel settings such as your ide theme darcula etc.
Zuhair Naqi's solution is good, but in my case I don't have the option to maximize. So I found another method, because in my case the Android Studio (Bumblebee) does not open every time the windows was updated.
Make sure you are not using two Languages (Hindi + English) as input method because android studio install required some time stamp and suppose you are using Hindi language that time and letters will not match at the time of opening Solution is - select primary Language as English while installing Android Studio.To change steps
Ventilate your home by getting fresh air into your home, filtering the air that is there, and improving air flow. Improving ventilation can help you reduce virus particles in your home and keep COVID-19 from spreading. You may or may not know if someone in your home or if a visitor to your home has COVID-19 or other respiratory viruses. Good ventilation, along with other preventive actions, can help prevent you and others from getting and spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses.
Here are some ways you can improve ventilation in your home. Using as many ways as you can (open windows, use air filters, and turn on fans) will help clear out virus particles in your home faster. You can decrease particles even more by continuing to ventilate after a visitor leaves (for example, an extra hour).
If your home has a central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC, a system with air ducts that go throughout the home) that has a filter, do the following to help trap virus particles:
tried to remove the private-invites-signature.txt and run again and it did not work so I uninstalled docker and installed again still wonth launch the docker application. I can however see that the DockerForWindows service is running but it wont allow me to connect to docker. and no icon in the taskbar. still think this must have been something in last windows update that caused this. any ideas?
@rjohnsoninterica gave the hint for me. But for me restarting the Windows Management Instrumentation service did not work. Instead, I restarted all running Hyper-V services directly. After that, I could install it again successfully.
While open windows can improve mood and create a more pleasant home, we cannot overlook the fact that they are also beneficial to the environment in various ways. The most obvious environmental benefit of opening windows and doors on nice days is saving electricity by not running the air conditioner.
Yes, opening your windows is good for you. Odors, pollutants and even fragrances can all lead to irritation at home, even if you no longer notice the smell. Cracking a window is recommended for clearing out viruses and making your home more comfortable. Use your windows to make your home smell great while saving money on your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) costs.
Getting high-quality windows helps improve energy efficiency without spending more money. While you use your windows to keep out the weather and let sunshine in, opening them for short periods can boost your quality of life. Here are all the benefits open windows can provide you, your family and the environment:
In the past, I usually decided whether to keep the windows open or shut just based on feel: If it felt cooler outside than inside, I opened a window. But recently I tried a more scientific approach. I took a small portable digital thermometer and actually measured the temperature outside and then compared that to the temperature inside. To make sure I was getting a fair reading outside, I always made sure to put the thermometer in the shade and not on any particularly hot surface.
So I have a simple problem that the internet seems to have no answers for. A few weeks ago, I was working with Visual Studio and the command prompt side by side. I slid the windows over so the command prompt only takes up the left 3" of the screen. I closed the command prompt when I was done and Windows remembered the window size. So the next time I opened it, it was still 3" wide and the full height of the screen. No problem, right? Just resize the window again and close it again. Well, Windows is being stubborn and is refusing to recognize any new window size. So I have to resize my 3" wide window every time I open it (10+ times a day)
I've looked for any trick or registry tweak to fix this, but I can't find anyone on the internet who's had the exact same problem. I'm not afraid of the registry, so if there is a key for this, let me know.
I found this, this, and this, but none of them directly applied to me, and I don't feel like installing another power user program just to fix a problem that I shouldn't be having in the first place. If nothing else works, I'll just add a function to my AutoHotkey script to change the size every time a461X1035 command window opens... :-/
