Get Skype - always running in background - Windows 10

Hi,as we know that Windows 10 comes with an in-built app called "Get Skype".
Now clicking on the "Download Skype" button it actually downloads the Desktop version of Skype. Which has a issue with Quiting Skype a & which has been mentioned here - http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-not-letting-me-quit-on-Windows-10/td-p/4064192
But moreover what I found out is that even after I have installed Skype by clicking the Download Skype button from Get Skype app and even if my Skype desktop version is closed, the "Get Skype" App is still running on the background and destrying my resouce. Infact I don't even understand that whats the point of having that "Get Skype" app all along when it does not do anything but showing an hyperlink?

I actually haven't had issues quitting Skype on Windows 10, though some have. If you are having issues using the taskbar/shortuct icon to quit, then try quitting using the system tray/notification icon. The other version of Skype is Modern Skype which has been discontinued on PCs. You can uninstall it to free up resources as it no longer serves a purpose once you have the desktop version installed. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12228

am finding it hard to frame logic to get this done and below is piece of script. can somebody guide on this ?
# Get the profiles list in the server

Hi Ravi0211,
The script below may be helpful for you, which can filter the process based on the property "idprocess" and the services based on the service "name":
$pids=@()
$output=@()
$output1=@()
get-content d:\processid.txt|foreach{
$pids+=$_} #store the processid as an array
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process | foreach{
if ($pids -contains $_.idprocess){#filter the processid listed in the file d:\processid.txt
$Obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name idprocess -Value $_.idprocess
$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Memory -Value $_.WorkingSetPrivate
$output+=$obj}
$services = get-content d:\service.txt
Foreach($service in $services){
Get-service | foreach{
If ($_.name –like “*$service*”){#filter the service based on the service name stored in d:\service.txt
$Obj1 = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
$Obj1 | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Service-Name -Value $_.name
$Obj1 | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Service-Status -Value $_.status
$output1+=$obj1}
$output
$output1
I hope this helps.

How to get 'clover.cmd' running as Windows service?

Right now I have the InDesign instances all running great as services so on a server reboot they start up fine. The clover/lbq part is just the .cmd script and it's not running as a service. I looked in the documentation but haven't found any info on getting clover to run as a Windows service.
Anyone know how to set it to do this? I'm on InDesign CS6 (server).
thanks.

This information is in the Install Guide that comes with EAS.Running EAS as a Windows service is an option you can select when you install it. If you did not do that, you can set it up to run as service by doing the following: (From the EAS Install Guide)----------------------------------------Adding Administration Server as a Windows ServiceYou can add Administration Server as a Windows service, even if it was not installed as a Windows service.?To add Administration Server to the list of Windows services:1. From a command prompt, navigate to the following directory: EASPATH\eas\server\bin2. Run the following command: install_service.batAdministration Services installs the Windows service as Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service. A message displayed in the command prompt window indicates that the service is installed.3. Start the Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service. See ?Starting the Administration Server Windows Service? on page 49.The Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service is set to start automatically each time you reboot.

Please suggest.
Thanks and regards

Hi Rajani.
ALV require the DRYPOR(screen) for display but incase you run in back ground which have to write to spool but in spool we can only write in format of LIST REPORT not inter-active report like ALV. That why
system cancelled your process immediately.
Hope it helps.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Getting the variant name when the report program is run in background

Hi All,
How to get the variant name for the report program when run in background? My requirement is to create an email attachement with the name 'variant.XLS', where variant = selection screen variant, when the report program is run in background. The system field SY-SLSET holds the variant name only when run online.
Any pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Nilesh.

Windows Vista can't find Firefox.exe on my hard drive, but it is there. How can I get Firefox to run?

Windows Vista can't find the Firefox.exe program on my machine but it is right there in program files. Windows won't run it. After clicking on the short cut icon and after a delay I get an error message saying that windows can't find it. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hey merodi,
I dont fully understand your problem here,
1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

LION: How do I get LION Finder to remember a window's settings as always before?

LION: How do I get LION Finder to remember a window's settings (view, window size, position, toolbar, sidebar) like always before? It remembers soon after, but after a time it forgets and does what it wants. Redoing this over and over is driving me crazy. I've been using Mac since 1986 and never had this problem,. One of the most beloved things about the Mac OS is that it REMEMBERS the setting for virtually everything! Clearly, Jobs has been out of action during LION development.
Maybe there's a way (with TERMINAL or finder prefs??) to adjust the "Time To Forget" to infinity (because it's OK for a while and then reverts to defaults again).

You don't (unfortunately) . Best to be patient until 10.7.2 is released (any day now), and which should fix this bug. If that doesn't work, then report it to Apple, but this is a BIG bug that Apple must and will fix soon.
BTW, I suspect you may be right about Steve Jobs influence, but hopefully this is just an exception.

Motion calibratio always on (running in background)?

i have an issue where motion calibration is constantly being used and it's running in the background for no reason.

The crazy thing here is it will run properly if I allow it to run once, transfer the file and receive it, and let the program complete and teminate.
If I attempt to set this class in a loop I get the thrown exception. I would really like to have this run in background and continue to run and not terminate after each Send and Receive. Is there a way to do this?
The diagram for this would be:
1. Run and wait for sender to send file.
2. Receive the file and write it out to the local dirve.
3. Notify the client the send was successful.
4. Go back to sleep and wait for another file to be sent.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.

Is it free to take my macbook air to an apple store to get a check because the fan is always running?

is it free to take my macbook air to an apple store to get a check because the fan is always running?

Yes, the diagnosis at the apple store is free, ....have them find out what is wrong for you
However its totally normal for the fan to be always on, on your macbook Air.
SMC (System Management Controller) could be causing the fan to misinterpret temp. an SMC reset would likely fix this.
If you can HEAR the fan all the time, it might be running noisy due to dust/junk in the fan blades and hub.
If you have pets or a dusty room, fans trap dust and pet fluff like a magnet. Might just need a cleaning.
