Windows SteadyState 2.5 Is Now Available!

Windows SteadyState 2.5 Is Now Available!
We are pleased to announce the release of Windows SteadyState 2.5, available in 9 languages from the Microsoft Shared Access Site:
http://www.microsoft.com/sharedaccess
Providing solutions to help manage shared computers has been a consistent request from partners, end users around the world. Microsoft has a very compelling solution with SteadyState enabling our shared access partners to protect shared access computers by cleaning the system with every restart, making them easier to manage and protect. It also restricts users from accessing system settings and data, preventing inadvertent or malicious damage, and thus, improving the up time of these PCs.
Besides offering excellent desktop security, SteadyState is user-friendly and reliable, it reduces downtime, is easy to maintain, and is free of charge to genuine Windows XP and Windows Vista customers.
SteadyState is a great solution for schools, libraries, families, internet cafés, telecenters, rural kiosks, and community centers, providing better computer access to underserved markets where non-technical managers are often responsible for shared computers.
New features in SteadyState version 2.5 include the following:
•       Full support for Windows Vista
•       Full support for Internet Explorer 7 and tabbed browsing
•       Overall improved performance
•       Faster booting
•       Faster system caching
•       Remote management of Windows Disk Protection through scripting
•       Improved importing & exporting of user information
To learn more, or download SteadyState 2.5 go to:

I have a major gripe about the instructions for SteadyState. I have gone over the handbook and each and every time I read it, I come back with more questions than answers. Very frustrating. I have two major issues I would like to resolve.
The first is that when I imaged drive when SteadyState was installed, I could not open my Sophos anti-virus any longer with the admin account. I kept getting message saying I was not part of Sophos Administrator group, which I was. I even removed
and re-added my user to the group, and it did nothing. Uninstalling did not let me in either. What a nightmare! What good is it to install something if I cannot do something as simple as opening an installed program to check settings or quarantine?
Second major issue is the whole ambiguosly confusing explanation of User accounts in the handbook. What a crock! If I set up the computer, add the users and setup each profile before installing SteadyState, then install SteadyState, there should
be no User restrictions except what I say after the install. For instance, I only tell SteadyState to not allow users to save to C:\ drive. That should mean any user, non-admin, should not be able to save to the drive. Period. When
reading the handbook, it goes on and on about shared users, shared accounts, blah blah blah. Do I have to go into SteadyState and change User accounts no matter what? If so, that seems like a real nightmare to setup over and over. Does that
mean with that simple protection setting of no saving to drive, I need to also go and create User accounts in SteadyState as well so I can do something as simple as having the desktop wallpaper from the original setup show up for the user? Will
the screen saver settings stay the same, or do I have to go into SteadyState and change that as well in User settings? Which, of course, will create a whole new profile for the user, which is NOT what everyone really wants. Can't we just install
SteadyState and say no saving to drive and leave the disk protection, etc. off and be done with it? It sure does not seem like it. Maybe we are just idiots here, but it is no help whatsoever for me to read this handbook again. Since one cannot
talk to someone for free, not sure what else to do. We used this software before for 66 computers in one of our labs, and after installation, we wanted to simplify the setup as much as possible due to continual issues with users not being able to do
this and that even though they were supposed to have "permission" to do so. No internet on these machines, just wanted to prevent users from saving to drive to prevent drive filling up and to allow the drivers we installed on admin account to work when
non-admin user plugged in USB equipment into port.

Seem to be Stuck on Build 9926 & Activation Problems (Windows 10 Technical Enterprise Preview)

I appear to be stuck on Build 9926 of the Windows 10 Technical Enterprise Preview:
When I click on the Check for Updates button it appears very briefly to go through the process of checking, but never updates the "last checked" date. I have tried switching to the fast ring but that doesn't make any
difference.
It may be relevant that I am also unable to activate the OS also. I have tried "slui.exe 3" which fails, and also "slui.exe 4" for telephone activation which fails because there are only 7 blocks of numbers for me to verify on the
screen (A to G) but the automated system wants to enter 8 blocks (A to H).
Can anyone make a suggestion on how to get a later build?

Hi Pessable,
Please open gpedit.msc and check the following path:
Computer Configuration/Administrative Templete/Windows Components/Windows Update
On the right side, find the Configure Automatic Update, Enable this settings, then click apply.
After that, verify your registry settings is the same as below:
After that, check the update again. If the above is not going to work, use the 9926 ISO to run the DISM command:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image
/RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\sources\Install.wim:1
/LimitAccess

New OC4J 10g (10.1.3.1) Developer Preview now available for download!

A Developer Preview of the new OC4J 10g (10.1.3.1) release is now available for download.
This developer preview release is fully J2EE 1.4 compatible and offers numerous enhancments, including full support for the final EJB 3.0/JPA specifications and Common Annotations (JSR-250) support in the Web container. It also provides a complete Web Services stack with support of JAX-RPC, annotations based development using JSR-181, and attachment support including MIME, DIME and MTOM with support of streaming for large documents.
See http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/index.html for details.

I've tried http://localhost:8888, but I get a "connection refused."
I have since found the answer. The site http://localhost:8888/ will indeed work. The problem was that the java_home for oc4j was pointing to a Java Runtime Edition of 1.5.0, and so oc4j was not starting, since oc4j only works with 1.4.x.
Still have the missing info from the readme, though.

Version 9.4.0 Preview Now Available

We are working on a major new revision of the Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition in the near future, and we’d like to get your help with evaluating it. This software has passed all of our internal testing but its always useful to get feedback from real users.
New features in this version:
Detection and cleanup of Potentially Unwanted Applications (adware, spyware, and certain remote access tools fall into this category)
Updated Quarantine Manager user interface
Faster Web Protection filtering component
Security and stability improvements
We invite to have you download and install this “preview” update to your Mac. Start by downloading the installer here:
http://www.sophos.com/Pages/DownloadRedirect.aspx?downloadKey=8579BC43-753D-48D0-8C74-60593FEB7097
SHA-256 hash: a4b78abdc4cea2bc212aa1b740c3b2229316b7cdb2509e7f2a307cf1f1c36735
When you run the installer it will install version 9.4.0b1. If you have an existing installation it will upgrade your software to version 9.4.0b1.
You can then enable the detection of PUAs in the On-Access preferences panel. These applications will be blocked from running automatically. Its possible we will detect tools that you are using as part of your daily routine - if so you can “authorize” their usage from the new Quarantine Manager window. You can later undo this choice by visiting the Authorizations preferences panel. Custom scans can also detect and optionally clean up PUAs when detected. Check out the Options tab for each scan.
Things to know about this build:
It's passed all of our internal testing, including the same level of protection from malware as the existing version (9.2.7)
It's beta, and therefore you should know that its incomplete e.g. only the English user interface is available today and the documentation isn’t updated yet
This build isn’t yet ready for use with Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, but we will be ready in the near future - watch this space for details
Your feedback is appreciated, as we’d like to uncover any lingering issues before general release.
Not happy with this version? You can download the 9.2.7 installer from our website and run it to downgrade your install. If you do, please let us know why.

...Curious - have you tried the PUA detection and authorization workflow? Its not precisely the same user workflow as our Windows endpoint product, so very interested to know whether we've made the right design choices.Hadn't tried it yet so I just tried it now, in a Yosemite Virtual Machine snapshot. I'd say it works quite well and the interfaces that pop up give helpful but not overwhelming information. My VM screen size is only 1600x1200 so the windows get a bit crowded, especially since the browser which makes the download connection fills a good portion of that screen, but the warning windows come forward, which is a good thing. In my case, a portion of the file had made its way to my desktop before the download was blocked (I'm using Firefox so the download screening is browser-independent) and was visible. I tried that a second time while running a full HD scan and it seemed not to slow down at all while again catching the PUA. One wrinkle is that Firefox was still asking me what I wanted to do with the file when Sophos caught and stopped it and then deleted it; the FIrefox dialog box with the choices was still open. As a test, I switched the option from opening with TextEdit to saving the file and clicked OK. The file appeared briefly on the desktop and then disappeared, presumably caught and deleted again by Sophos, but this time around there was no further notification. Since most people save downloads to the Downloads folder, it wouldn't be immediately apparent what happened. It's possible users would worry that the inadvertent download made it through the second time without being caught, though the Sophos log shows the capture and delete worked again, just not with the notifications. The PUA intercept is definitely a valuable new feature. BTW, I managed to take a screen shot of the Activity Monitor window with the high CPU usage I'd mentioned and I'll email it to you shortly.

Excuse me more words, Duncan. I need to let Andrew know that Jacob is to bridge OLE to Java, while the website he referred is to allow Javabean to ActiveX control. They are opposite things.
I hope Andrew's idea works, i.e., using JABX idea to make extension to Webutl to make webutl allow AcxtiveX controls available as Javabean in webforms.
What I am looking for this is interesting in adding Pen Ink/Guesture for our webform application users thru Tablet PCs to hand write his data onto the entry forms and sign his names. Currently it is only available in windows OS thru VB or C#, or VC++. I like to be available in the webform or better on Java appa.
I bet Oracle will do this thing for its 11i, as SAP is doing this features for its apps, Oracle cannot ignore this, thus if Oracle get this added in webutl, that's a good feature to enable webforms and its 11i.

No Apps or Windows Store work after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Enterprise

Hello,
Upgraded from Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Now none of my apps work, cannot even go into the Windows store to repair them. All of the apps give me an error message of "This App Can't Open" while the PC Settings and Windows
Store apps just open to a blank screen. All Metro apps have a "X" mark on them. What I have already done:
1. I already downloaded the app troubleshooter which didn't help.
2. No use "contacting the app's publishers" since these are all native Windows apps.
3. Tried refreshing, no help.
4. System restore, no help.
5. I don't have a proxy on.
6. I've updated my graphics card to the most recent version.
This may sound naive but is there a way to "reinstall" the Windows store? Can I download it from somewhere? Please don't tell me to "reinstall or reset" Windows 8.1, that really isn't addressing the problem at all it is simply
throwing the entire thing away and starting over. There has got to be a way to "fix" these sorts of things aside from a clean reinstall, otherwise they shouldn't allow "upgrading" in the first place.

Hello,
The cause why appstore does not start is permissions and missing repository registry keys.
I fixed the problem by doing the following: importing and exporting registry keys / change permissions and reboot the machine.
login with a local account (must be member of administartor group) not a domain account to your machine. If you do not have, ask a colleague not having the problem with the appstore.
Ask hem to export the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel" key.
You need to import this key into the registry using your account.
Follow this steps:
Check first the following location to see iof the repository is not empty
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository
1. Open registry editor typing regedit.exe from a command line.
   2. Browse to the registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel\repository\packages.
if the repository is not there, login locally with a different account and export the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel
- login backup to the account having appstore problem.
dubbel exported regkey, click yes and confirm overwriting the registry.
   3. Right click on the “packages” key and bring up the “Permissions” tab.
   4. Click the “Advanced” button located at the bottom right corner.
   5. Check to see the account name that shows up as the “Owner” (this is the first line of text on the “advanced security settings” dialog for the “packages” key). (this shows the built-in local Administrators group), it must be “SYSTEM”.
   6. If it is any other account, click on the “Change” button next to it.
   7. Type SYSTEM in the “select user” dialog. If “Multiple Names Found” window comes up, select the row for “SYSTEM”.
   8. Click OK to the dialogs and close them all.
   9. Run from admin command prompt:
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
10. Reboot your machine.
11. Start appstore, if you get the error, you have no internet connection.
12. Close appstore wait a view seconds and start it again.
This fixed the problem for me.
Regards, Azzim / System Administrator

Hi everyone from the Build 2015 conference happening right now in San Francisco! If you haven’t already, check out Terry’s blog post about all the Windows 10 announcements we made today. If you’re at Build this week or at Ignite in Chicago next week – keep your eye out for me and say hello!
Today we have a new build available to both the Fast and Slow ring for Windows Insiders (that means we’ll have ISOs available too for those of you who like a clean install.) With this build we continue to evolve the features and design for Windows 10, and you’ll see a lot of subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Windows Insiders. One of those changes is the reintroduction of some Aero Glass elements in the UI, but there are many more things throughout the product as well. We continue to use your feedback directly day to day in how our feature teams operate, and we hope that Windows 10 will be the best version of Windows yet because you had a direct hand in its creation.
One other subtle change that you’ll notice is that we’ve changed how we talk about the builds from “Technical Preview” to “Insider Preview” to reflect the importance of the Windows Insider community in how we’re building Windows 10.
And speaking of Windows Insiders, we were super excited to host the 10 winners of our Windows Insiders to Campus contest in Redmond last week and hear their thoughts on the program and the product. We’ll share more on that soon.
Here is what’s newSome of the things that Joe demoed on stage earlier today during the Build keynote are not yet included in this build and will be in future builds. But we still have a bunch of new stuff for you to check out!
General UX improvements: We made a bunch of UX improvements with the last build and you’ll see even more in this build. For example, you’ll notice a new Live Tile animation for Start in addition to in addition to some performance and stability improvements for Live Tiles.
We’ve done work to better support high DPI displays. And we know many Windows Insiders are running multi-mon setups – often with 2 monitors with different DPI. You will start to see some work we’re doing to make sure core UX components in Windows scale correctly on both your monitors so things look nice regardless of DPI.
We’ve also heard loud in clear that many Windows Insiders want to see Aero Glass from Windows 7 make a comeback. We’ve been working out how to satisfy this request, and are trying some things out with this build to see how you like them. We’re running a little A/B test with this build. 50% of you will normal transparency on the Start menu and taskbar while the other 50% will see a blur effect on the Start menu and taskbar (like frosted glass). If Windows Insiders really like the blur effect, we will add it to more areas and even consider making it the default instead of standard transparency. Which one did you get? Send us feedback about it via the Windows Feedback app!
Even more improvements to Continuum: We’re continuing to make Continuum better and invest in a simplified taskbar. Additionally when you close an application in Tablet mode, we take you back to the Start screen instead of the desktop as you would expect when using a tablet. You will see general polish on snapping, and the shared divider between two snapped windows now let’s you adjust the size.
Multi-tasking improvements: We’re continuing to refine and complete our mulit-tasking experience with Windows 10. Check out Alt-Tab, Task-View, and Snap Assist. Snap Assist also now supports the ability to close a window during Snap Assist.
New default Windows sounds: We’ve heard a lot of feedback from people that they want some fresh system sounds for Windows 10. Check them out and let us know what you think.
Visual refresh for Cortana: You will see a visual refresh for Cortana in this build that makes the experience feel more ingrained into the overall Windows experience. Start and Cortana are now more tightly integrated. As you start to search for an app from within Start, Cortana can seamlessly take over and bring back the right result. The new Windows split view control has been added to Cortana’s left rail, offering quick access to key Cortana functionality like the Notebook, Reminders or Feedback on how Cortana’s doing. This split view control helps anchor Cortana to the rest of the Windows UI and provides navigation consistent with many other Windows first party applications.
New experiences in Cortana: We are making available some new and updated experiences in Cortana powered by Bing Instant Answers. Cortana will aim to answer your question while you’re still typing. Here are a few questions you can try:
Weather – “Seattle Weather”
Finance – “MSFT stock”
Dictionary – “define astounding”
Calculator – “48*92”
Flight Status – “UA 238”
Reference – “how tall is brad pitt”
Showtimes – “movies near me”
Tech Help – “memory in my computer”
Time Zone – “time in London”
Unit Conversion – “42 ft in meters”
Chit Chat – “tell me a joke”
Updates for the Music and Video Preview apps: We’ve also shipped updates to these apps. The Music Preview app (3.6.999.0) has some UX improvements including a more immersive Now Playing experience with a true full screen mode. With the Video Preview app (3.6.999.0) – you can download movies, TV shows, and TV seasons and check progress, pause, resume, cancel the download. You can also download, delete, and even re-download videos as many times as you want on up to three devices (we’re planning to increase the number of devices you can download content too!). Closed captioning for purchased content now appears. You will see a list of new features when you first launch these app after each update!
Xbox app April 2015 update: The Xbox app for Windows 10 has been updated (your version number should be 4.4.9014.0 or higher) with new features like Game DVR for PC games, screenshots, a Live Tile, user profiles, and real-name sharing. Oh and the drivers for Xbox controllers are now included with Windows 10, so you no longer have to download and install controller drivers on Windows 10. For more on this month’s Xbox app for Windows 10 update as well as the new Avatars app – read this blog post.
Windows Store Beta improvements: We’re excited about delivering a single unified Store experience in Windows 10 which we’re talking more about this week at Build. We’ve made some improvements to the Store Beta which is now a blue tile instead of grey. Xbox Live games should be working and so are in-app purchases. Apps you purchased on a PC running Windows 8.1 will now show up in the Store Beta on Windows 10 as owned (and vice-versa). We’re also expanding the Store Beta from 41 markets with the addition of these new markets: Afghanistan, Åland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bahrain, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iceland, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Malta, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Venezuela.
Discovering features and apps in Windows 10: We are investing in easy “bite-sized” learning and discovery experiences so that users can get more out of Windows 10. This ranges from tips and tricks on the Lock screen, to helping users discover high quality apps through Start, the Lock screen and Cortana. Be confident that you won’t miss out on new features and enjoy the ease of having high quality apps curated for you. It’s optional, and if anything doesn’t strike your fancy, you can provide feedback directly, such as whether you like an image or an app. These new experiences will be rolling out over time, so you may not see them in your market yet.
Here are some things we fixed
You can now launch Win32 (desktop) apps from the Start menu again. Sorry about this bug!
You should be able to download music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps.
When you minimize an app playing audio, it should continue playing in the background.
Here are some known issues
Developers cannot enable Developer Mode in the Settings app for installing and testing apps on this build. We’ll enable this in an upcoming build. In the meantime, you will need enable your device for development using the Group Policy Editor.
There is an issue in this build preventing some games from playing in full screen mode. We’re working to get a fix out via WU as soon as possible.
The People app continues to crash. We’re planning to release an update for the People app through the Store Beta that fixes this.
We hope you’ll agree that 10074 has some nice improvements and is another step forward towards delivering a great Windows 10 release. Please put it through the paces and keep sending us feedback on the things that you like and the things you want us to keep working on using the Windows Feedback app. I hope that you’ll also download the development tools released at Build and will build some terrific Universal Windows apps as well!
Thanks,
g

I'm in the process of downloading ISO images now, and will be setting up VMware virtual machines in which to test the various versions. I will be interested to see how Photoshop works with it (it mostly worked with the Windows 8 Developer Preview version, with just a few glitches).
Note that these downloads are all quite huge (multiple gigabytes).

Generally speaking, Microsoft seems to be trying to bridge the "touch screen tablet" market with the "desktop computer" market, all in the name of opening up their own shiny new App Store. I don't know whether they're going to pull it off, but Apple has become a world economic power with theirs. It's almost scary to think what Microsoft will be able to do with theirs. Sounds like opportunity knocking for Windows developers.
The Windows 8 Metro Start screen, complete with its flat, styleless tiles, has replaced the Start Menu in Windows 8, and there's no Start button at all. I give it a month at most before someone like Ivo Beltchev, who created the Windows 7 add-on "ClassicShell" package, creates software to restore a workalike to the Windows 7 menu. I've tried the current version of ClassicShell already with the Windows 8 developer preview and it doesn't seem to run, though I haven't gone to the ClassicShell forums to see whether there's a workaround.
But using the Win key to pop over to the Metro Start screen, which is the start menu replacement, all the functionality is still there, and there are some advantages. For example, a number of known bugs in Windows Explorer have been fixed, and they've integrated ribbons into Explorer in a way that actually makes some sense. So far everything I've tried to run has worked - I get the impression either compatibility was very high on their list, or they haven't done much to the "traditional" APIs.
Oh, and they've integrated their own anti-malware solution, so there will be no more need for 3rd party packages.
Interestingly to me, after half a day of testing and getting used to it (and having run the Windows 8 Developer Preview before that for months), the whole Windows 8 system so far feels lighter and more efficient that Windows 7. There are fewer processes running, they seem to take up less memory, and just a lot of things seem more polished.
I'm guessing there's just enough "gee whiz" here to make even people who are relatively happy with Windows 7 want to upgrade.
