How To Schedule Task As Standard User
Jan 22, 2016
I like to run Windows 10 as a Standard User. I use Syncthing to sync my files from my PC to my laptop and another machine. I want to schedule syncthing so that it starts when I log on. However when creating a task, I get a message saying the user doesn't have permission. How should I do this? I've followed this guide but it assumes you are running as Administrator. Starting Syncthing Automatically Syncthing v0.12 documentation
I've solved it using the second part of the guide, using the shell:startup folder, however I'd prefer to use Task Scheduler if possible.

Is it still recommended to do your daily tasks in a non-administrator user account, or is that obsolete advice in windows 8-10?

When I set up a daily backup, it does not occur. I can do a manual backup, and it works, but the automatic daily does not. I have daily selected, and keep forever. I have my pictures and videos set to be skipped.
When I click on advanced settings, it says the File History is on, and the correct external hard drive is selected.
When I click on System Image Backup at bottom left, it says that Windows Backup has not been set up.
When I click on Set Up System Backup, it says that Express Zip Plus has expired, and prompts me to buy it.
I never installed "Express Zip Plus", and am not even familiar with it. Why should I have to buy something for my new computer?

I prefer to have my system shut down overnight rather than sleeping. Is there any way to schedule a system boot at a specific time in the morning? Windows update is able to boot from shut down when it feels like it. Is there any way I can do this, apart from putting my PC to sleep overnight?

There does not seem to be a way to schedule an automatic daily scan with Windows Defender. I got a action center notification to run a Defender scan. Is that something I can expect regularly? Having to do a regular manual scan will be difficult.

When I place an entry scheduled at 3pm and ends at 4pm, it will take a step back in the 2pm-3pm slot. I really want to use this app because of its compatibility with the mail app, but this keeps me from doing so.

So as of recently I am running Windows 10 on my pc. I however noticed one thing: I have an SSD and an HDD installed.
I installed the OS on my SSD ofcourse. Now it seems that Windows 10 recognizes my SSD as a regular drive, and not as an SSD. Due to this, I am unable to install SSD drivers. I use the Samsung Evo 850 SSD.

I'm a photographer and work mostly with black and white images. I took the jump from win7 to win10 today and in setting my wallpaper as "centered" (not fill or stretch etc) I am faced with not being able to choose an appropriate background color to go "behind" the wallpaper.
How can I get a simple black or white background color to go behind / around my wallpaper image. There are plenty reds, purples, greens and blues, but precious few neutrals.
I want to be able to select background color by RGB code or a 24-bit palette.

That's what I see on booting. I want to see the legacy screen.
This is my BCDfile:
Code:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-GB
inherit {globalsettings}
[code]...
All relevant OS sections Windows 10, WinXToGo, and Windows 8.1 have bootmenupolicy Legacy included Bootim.exe appears 2x in the registry only.
What do I need to do to fix it and for it to stay fixed!

In Windows 10, is there a way to download or activate the standard (old) windows photo viewer? The Windows 10 Photos app sucks for more reasons than I can say in one message. But the biggest problem is that it refuses to let me view my photos if I am not connected to the internet. I am in Ethiopia for a few weeks and internet is spotty. I take hundreds of pictures, transfer them to my Surface 3, then try to view them and it gives me an error and won't let me view any of them. Once I have an internet connection I can view them even though they are stored locally.

If I boot normally, all three accounts, including the built-in Administrator account become Standard accounts, even though they were all setup as Administrator.
If I boot to Safe mode or Safe Mode with Networking then they all are Administrator accounts.
Right now I'm running Windows Repair All-In-One. Will see if that works.
This computer also boots to a black screen two out of three times (not always though, sometimes more, sometimes less.). If WRAIO doesn't do the job I'll tray a Refresh. If no joy there then I'll clean install. I have a good Macrium image backup so won't lose anything no matter what I do.

I have Win10 pro and set to "notify to schedule restart" and "defer updates". Also have "give me updates for other MS products..." unchecked.However, Win10 just decided to reboot the computer and apply updates. What the heck is this? I had a major session of work going on.

I had hoped Windows 10 corrected the "rename user account" function but nope. I renamed a User Account due to conflict on the LAN [same name, same spelling] and sure enough, now I have two names for the account, one a slightly hidden original name, and permissions issues. To rid it, I will create an all new Administrator account, move everything over, and demolish the old. How to do? the docs/files are easy... the settings for apps etc are not as I recall

How can I create an admin account on a system that only has a standard user account? I suspect that the answer is that I can't, but I live in hope.
I can't provide specific details of the PC in question because it's my son's, and he lives 35+ miles away. He was running Win 8.1 but recently (in the past couple of days) upgraded to 10 and has run into a driver issue. He can't upgrade the driver because he doesn't have admin rights. I think he has an admin account on his system because I put it there, but it doesn't show up as a log-in option.
I've tried to enable the hidden admin account from a standard user acc on my system by running the command prompt as admin but am always to verify as admin - catch 22..

I upgraded my kids' computer to Windows 10. It had an administrator account (for me to set things) and two separate user accounts for my daughter and my son.
I made the *mistake* of logging into Chrome with my Gmail acct ID while on my Daughter's user account.
Now, it's no longer her account. It has a password (It never had a password before). And instead of her name, it's literally my gmail account name.
I need to take some time to clean out the user account settings, but she has her steam, minecraft and other settings on her account. I don't really want to trash it and make a new one.

Upgraded from 8.1, finished installing all W10 updates and I was looking in the App History tab in Task Manager and I saw this :
I need to say that I checked for updates in the Store App and it downloaded 2 updates for 2 unknown apps, as there wasnt a name and picture so I could identify those specific apps.
