I need to create a container family which is used for visualisation purpose and i need to create doors and windows in it. I can create everything in generic family and create components like doors and windows but i wanted to know can we place windows in it like we do in projects on walls. I read somewhere to create door/window like component in generic family and change family type to window (but i couldnt find how).

Thank you so much. I want a complete container family with windows so option 1 is my choice as i am not gonna do it in project. I am still confused because i created window frame as generic model and changed its family to "window" then loaded it in another family which is also generic and tried to place it there but could not. Should i do something in other generic family where i am gonna place window

if you expect the nested window to behave similar to a hosted window family, you will need to start it using a generic model face based where you would model the opening/cutting void, then either model the Window or nest it and last load and place the face based on to the container

When you configure Cubase you should be able to select from 3 options:
WDM driver (windows driver model driver)
Generic asio (speudo asio wrapper from Steinberg to use WDM driver)
Vendor ASIO - you should see something called LYNX ASIO Driver, this is the one you want.

There is a directory named Asio in your C:\Program Files\Steinberg directory. Just make a back-up of this directory (very important - I will explain later why), and simply remove this directory from the given location.

Now restart windows, and you will notice Sonar no longer uses that generic ASIO driver. It makes no difference for Cubase, because you should use the device ASIO driver in stead of a generic driver anyway. Problem solved.

Lynx support suggested that a list has somehow been modified without updating the indexes or some such thing, thereby shifting all of the names. Consequently, the backend is still working - my Lynx device is still producing audio - but Device Manager (and who knows what else) is out of whack. Moving forward without correction, things would only get more confused or broken.

When you say, just make a back-up of this directory, are you referring to simply moving that directory to somewhere else on the computer (as in cut and paste)? And in that case, is there no need to mess with the Windows Registry?

The generic ASIO driver comes in play when there are no real ASIO driver ( onboard audio?), it wraps the wdm to use as ASIO.
Asio4all is another way of doing the same ( never use these hacks for any serious work)

The Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver has well-documented problems with other applications (e.g., Sonar). As such, it might not be common knowledge in these forums, but a general Google search will reveal more, should anyone need it.

Anyway, deleting the Steinberg Generic ASIO driver is not enough, but, going into the Regedit program as described took care of my problem with WL - and for that I am very grateful to you and your post!! Thank you!!

All of a sudden, Windows Explorer stopped showing an InDesign application icon for files made and saved with InDesign 2024. Shows a generic icon instead. Curiously, InDesign Markup Language files show the correct program icon. Note: redacted the file names in the screenshot because the docs are still in draft status.

And I have used Windows 11's Default Programs control panel to map all INDD files to InDesign 2024.
But the icons for INDD files still show up generic.
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall InDesign to get the correct icon to appear?

After making sure InDesign 2024 worked (not the newest computer), I removed previous versions, yes.
I did not delete the preferences for previous versions (there were issues getting INDD 2024 to port them over to the new version) -- until I read your post this morning. Did so, and rebooted the computer. That did not solve it. Am on production deadlines, so it will be a couple of days before I can try removing INDD 2024, rebooting, and reinstalling it. That will be my next move.

Uninstalling InDesign 2024 and all of my settings for it (and 2023) did not help. File icons for .INDD still showing generic. It did create quite a scary situation: When I started INDD up after doing the uninstall, deleting preferences, and rebooting, it was stuck showing "touch " with some kind of animation, and the InDesign window ran off the screen! Tried clicking my mouse to change that, but nothing happened! Then I remembered: My laptop is docked to fullsize displays and I normally run with the lid down. My laptop is "convertible," (screen can be used as a touchscreen). And had the same issue when I first moved to Creative Cloud. InDesign was set, by default, to run on touch screeen if it can't find a keyboard. After a lot of screen size adjustment, finally was able to click in its menu and convince InDesign NOT to run in "touch" mode ! Yessir, youbetcha I went into INDD's Settings and cleared the checkbox: "Switch to Touch Workspace when the Keyboard is detached."
Clear the checkbox
Next I had to restore all of the deleted custom settings that I use with InDesign. Fortunately, had kept a copy of them in the Cloud on OneDrive, and was able to recover them using Microsoft's instructions. InDesign is working just fine now. The icons are still generic. Methinks that's a Windows problem, not an Adobe problem.

Checked with our work's PC Help Desk, after uninstalling and reinstalling did not solve the problem, and it appears to be an issue with Windows 11, not InDesign. Yesterday, the computer also deleted My customized InDesignpreferences for Workspace, Keyboard Shortcut, and user dictionary, and I had to once again restore them from a backup I keep on the Cloud -- just in case of things like this.

I've been trying to use my line printers for wide format source code listing recently, I was able to load these drivers on Windows 10. But for some reason, after upgrading to Windows 11, when trying to use the printer I had previously set up on lpt1 as a generic/text only printer, it wouldn't let me use it. I tried to reinstall it - the process fails, giving me the "Unable to install printer. Cannot complete this function." It doesn't matter whether or not I use the existing driver or replace the current driver. I've restarted the print spooler service, I've edited the registry to remove the current printer drivers, and removed the necessary spool files. Is there something I'm missing or has backwards compatibility for this 40 year old standard finally been removed?

it looks like you have to add generic printer device through device manager.

What I did is go into Device Mangeer -> Printers, right clicked on any of the printers, selected update driver, then Let me pick, for me Generic printer device.

Even with that it still did not let me use that generic printer device driver that was installed :(

I am a beginner, not familiar with Wi-Fi or networks. I am looking at my Ignite Wi-Fi network and I see a list of 6 offline "Generic Brand Windows PC/Laptop" that have connected to my Wi-Fi. Each of these computers/laptops appear to have a different alphanumerical "name". I do not use 6 different laptops. Is it my neighbours using my Wi-Fi? Are they just system/duplicates, like always the same device/laptop (the one I am using) that appears under a different alphanumerical name at each new connection? Is it just waiting for me to rename my laptop with a non-generic (specific name) and assign it to my Wi-Fi home profile so it stops generating new "Generic Brand Windows PC/Laptop"? How am I supposed to understand these "Generic Brand Windows PC/Laptop"?

Note: These steps will update your Ignite WiFi Hub, but if your WiFi network name or password has been saved on the removed device it may reconnect automatically unless you manually update the WiFi settings on the device itself. Click here to see the steps to follow to update your WiFi password.

Thanks - this answer was what I was looking for. I have had the same experience for months now with my son's Lenovo laptop - it has an assigned name but each day when he connects it identifies itself differently as a Generic Windows Laptop. The Rogers support answer is bogus on not helpful to the question - changing the device name is easy, but temporary. The next connection, you're right back to a Generic Windows Laptop again and you can't block something or set downtime rules on something that keeps changing. It doesn't work - this should be fixed as having devices present themselves with varying MAC addresses bypasses all those rules and the network safeguarding customers are trying to put in place with the Ignite Wifi Hub.
