Windows Nt 4.0 Workstation

[Bradley Zweig]

Thereis literally no difference between Pro and Pro for workstations in terms of gaming. It might have a couple less apps out of the box, but that can be fixed in pro by five minutes in the start menu, or by powershell.

ReFS has too many limitations for me to use it normally. No hard links, no native compression, no page file, no quotas, no native encryption, no extended attributes, etc. The encryption can be worked around via using BitLocker, and junctions are available instead of hard links, and it is posible some of the other missing features have alternatives.

The check summing and integration with storage spaces is nice, but I would rather use BTRFS or ZFS for that sort of thing if posible. It also works well with Hyper-V vm images, so I might use it for that if the need ever arose.

Btw there is a workaround if you want to use ReFS on normal W10 Pro. You can create the storage spaces array and format it as ReFS in a windows version prior to them deprecating the feature. Saves you the expense of a pricier windows license if it matters.

I'd like to display Virtual Machines (VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 host) as their own windows instead of as tabs in the VMWare Workstation menu, similar to how VMs are handled with VMWare Fustion on the Mac.

Just drag the tab out of the VMWare window and take it to the other monitor. If that's what you mean. It will create a new solitary window with the other running OS in it. Have done that on Ubuntu, and it should work the same for Windows 7.

Create a new shortcut to your vmware.exe and modify the target line under shortcut properties.

Append -n which tells vmware to open a new window instead of a new tab. At last add the path to the VM you wish to open.

Dragging tabs does not work for me in WS 10, neither over the desktop, nor into a new window. Opening a new window already starts a second copy of vmware.exe, so there is no difference to doing that manually.

Using VMware 10 I was able to have this happen by going to File->New Window, which should be the second option in the file drop-down menu, which should be in the upper-left hand corner. Then, you simply activate the system through the new window that opens up. But beware! If your original instance of VMware still has ownership, then your second instance won't be able to take permission. Hope this helps! Wish I could tell you authoritatively how to change ownership. What worked for me was removing (right click the VM in the side-bar) from the original VM instance, then simply resuming it in the new one. I'm worried about how that might come to bite me in the future, but we'll see.

This tweak/tip guide will be full of caveats. Why? Because tweak guides should be full of caveats, of course. There are always implications and side effects to any choices you make when customizing a system.

I also work with a number of good DAW PC OEMs (companies that build DAW PCs). They tend to do even more for their systems. If you buy a custom DAW PC from a DAW OEM, and they do something different from what I indicate here, I would trust them to know what is the most stable thing for their system. They know the subset of hardware they target, and they know what they need to be able to support over time. They also know which subset of software they support, and how to get the most from it.

Remember, sound travels approximately one foot per millisecond. So the typical stage monitor, for a guitar player, is around 5-12 milliseconds of latency away from them (if not using in-ear). For those of us with studio monitors, they are usually 2-5ms away. Headphones have less latency, but only if wired. Wireless and Bluetooth protocols add their own latency in communications to the headphones.

Additionally, laptops and tablets are very prone to throttling the CPU to reduce heat. The last thing you need while recording is the CPU to slow down. This happens a lot with any consumer laptop that is optimized for size and weight rather than heat dissipation. Note that you can mitigate this a bit with dedicated active cooling pads for your laptop should you need to, but those little fans still tend to be quite loud.

Desktops also tend to give you more options for USB connections, as well as the ability to use wired networking rather than wireless. These are both extremely important for systems that will use many external devices.

There are many professional musicians who have completely different gigging vs home studio rigs. They often have desktops in the studio, and laptops for gigs/road. If you can swing this type of setup, you get the best of both worlds. You can use tools like OneDrive to automatically synchronize your data files between them.

When it comes to memory, I recommend new builders use the memory compatibility list the motherboard manufacturer releases. Most memory will just work, but the compatibility list will remove all doubt and help ensure you are able to get memory that performs to spec in your setup. How much memory you need will depend upon your use, but I personally recommend 32GB if you can, especially if you have integrated graphics and you work with sample libraries. Most everything will work well enough on 16GB, of course. 8GB can be stretching it and will be limiting, but folks still use it with the limitations in mind. I have 64GB in my PC not because I use that much with a DAW, but because some of the other work I do on this PC really benefits from the additional memory.

Your laptop, desktop, or motherboard manufacturer will almost certainly have BIOS updates available. Read the notes and check online forums for problems. If they look reasonable, update to the latest before you even install the OS. Staying with an old BIOS will often mean you lose compatibility with later processors and memory. Many motherboards in the past have required BIOS updates to work with Thunderbolt 3 as well.

Musicians often want to remap keys and have greater control over managing windows on their desktop. The open source Microsoft PowerToys makes those, and more, very easy to do. You can download and install them for free. You can even contribute your ideas (or code!) to help make the product even better.

Finally, if you use a PCIe (or Thunderbolt) solution for your audio interface, and maybe NVMe drives, and you also use a discrete graphics card, you will have to consider processors that support the minimum number of PCIe lanes that you need, or understand the compromises. Note also that some chipsets work well with Thunderbolt, and others, not so much.

I'm working on a small on-premise Windows network. One Windows 2019 server (DSDC), one Windows 2007 Server (DC), five Windows 10 Pc's. All servers and workstation have Windows updates installed. None of the devices have been hit with viruses.

Hello! You've posted your question in the Tech Community Discussion space, which is intended for discussion around the Tech Community website itself, not product questions. I'm moving your question to the Windows 10 space - please post Windows 10 questions here in the future.

I just wanted to document here some findings, as I have had issues recently and in the past with the OSK automatically displaying (and correctly) in Perspective Workstation on touchscreens without physical keyboards. All issues appear to stem from the OS.

The OSK doesn't automatically show at all in the Perspective Workstation launcher (e.g. when trying to add an application connection to launch a client). Opening the OSK manually does work and you are able to use it to input into fields as expected.

I haven't found a solution to this yet

Sharing for Linux Users:

Linux Ubuntu 20.04, moving the unzipped 'perspectiveworkstation' folder to the user shared applications directory allows for the native OSK in Ubuntu from Perspective Workstation to function.

Then i restart workstation and launch a project but the keyboard doesn't appear when trying to enter a value.

When export again the settings config i see that the propertie javafx.virtual.keyboard is back to false.

It seems that at import the property is not override or is set back to false by the launcher.

Thanks for the response. I didn't understand like that.

The problem than that i have is that in most linux distribution i have tried (Linux mint, Ubuntu or kubuntu) the on screen keyboard doesn't appear when using workstation (When using firefox or chrome it's working without any problems).

Note that the on-screen keyboard will not automatically appear when interacting directly with Perspective Workstation (configuring workstation apps, pages, importing certificates, etc.,).

I still have an issue, where a customer is using desktop hardware with a monitor and mouse but no keyboard. Windows 10 hates me and simply won't show the OSK at all when clicking on any input fields, whether it's P Workstation, Windows OS itself, browsers, anything............ I'm at my wit's end.

I want to move to using Windows' native kiosk mode, where the designated app runs in front of the lock screen. Everything works, except the OSK. So the entire effort is useless. IT apparently has an open issue with Microsoft.

Sounds like an on-machine or fixed-mount HMI? Vision is the answer, sorry. And Vision has some super on-screen configurable keyboard support now. You can tailor multiple different OSKs to different parts of your application.

I've occasionally purchased unfamiliar hardware for projects based on a sales team's assurances that it was fit for purpose, and had to eat the loss when some aspect of it was discovered to not be fit for purpose after all. How is this different?
