Here is an article on my experience with the Meltdown and Spectre CPU Security Vulnerability Windows 10 Patch Install.
The patch update for the security vulnerabilities Meltdown and Spectre was release by Microsoft in the afternoon of January 3, 2018. I began the install of the patch a little before 8:00 pm CST.
Here is the screen capture video of my experience.

With the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update tucked inside of the Windows Defender Security Center is a new feature called Controlled Folder Access.

Controlled Folder Access What is it?

It purpose and function is to “Protect you files and folders from unauthorized changes by unfriendly applications.” Read this as your files cannot be edited or changed.
This new feature is offered as a tool to help protect files from encryption ransomware and other malware and virus threats from altering files by way of Controlled Folder Access.

Controlled Folder Access Sounds Like a Good Idea

It sounds like a good idea but currently in practice I would imagine few ordinary users will go through the current process to configure this feature.
It would not take much effort by Microsoft to improve and simplify this process of configuration.

Improve on a Good Idea

One way to improve the Controlled Folder Access feature would be to have a list of the installed applications to choose from to allow Controlled Folder Access.
Currently you have to search for and select an application that you want to allow Controlled Folder Access. Which is cumbersome for even a Windows 10 wizard.
As an example it took some time for me to figure out exactly which file I had to add for Open Office to be able to function with file in My Documents folder. After trying all the program executable it turned out to be the file C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.bin.
Another option I would like to see is the option to remove folder from the default protected folders list.
At this time there is no way to do this.
The video below shows the location of the Controlled Folder Access setting and how to allow an application access to the Controlled Folder Access Windows 10 Fall Creators Update folders. Also shows how to add a folder to Controlled Folder Access list.

The Microsoft Windows 10 Fall Creators Update has been released.
It was released on October 17 2017.
I decided to make a video showing the Windows 10 Fall Ctratorsd Update installation process. Below you will find thwevideow showing the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Installation from start to finish.
The process took about 40 minutes on a pretty low end desktop computer.
The first Windows 10 Creators update brought the Windows version up to 1703.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Installation bring the Windows 10 version number up to version 1709 build 16299.



If you don’t want to wait for the update to be delivered through Windows updates you can begin the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Installation by using the Microsoft Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

Mix Reality

One of the new feature now available for all is Mixed Reality support. Mixed Reality is the term to describe both Virtual and Augmented Reality.
With the launch of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, virtual reality headsets from Acer, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are also on sale, starting at $299, or $399 with bundled motion controllers.
There is more to discuss about the Fall Creators Update but that is for other articles. This is about the installation process and that has been covered.

Error Code 0xc0000017
There isn’t enough memory available to create a ramdisk device.
You recieve this error when either updating or installing Windows 10 fails.
The solution lies in editing the Boot Configuration Data.
The bad memory locations list can be cleared executing a command
from the Windows Command Prompt run as Administrator.
In Windows 10 type command in the Search box
Then right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
Once the Command Prompt window opens
Type bcdedit /enum all and press Enter
This command will generate a list of all the memory locations that have been deemed ‘bad’, this list can be cleared.
To clear this list used the bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist command.

Type bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist then press Enter.

Type exit to exit and close the Command Prompt screen.
Reboot your computer.
Try to update or install Windows 10 again.

This solution worked for me when I recieved Error Code 0xc0000017 when trying to install the
Windows 10 update going from version 1607 to 1703.
Executed the bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist command.
Waited to be prompted again to install the update.
Ran the update and it installed no problems.

So if you run into Error Code 0xc0000017
There isn’t enough memory available to create a ramdisk device.
Try clearing the bad memory list using the bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist command.
I hope you find this fix useful and thanks for stopping by.

Creators Update. Windows 10 began the Creators update Windows 10 install process. Microsoft initiated the update process upon reaching my desktop after I started the computer. The computer in this case is my desktop computer.
The specs of the computer are as follows.
Intel Core i5
12 GB 1600mhz DDR3
80GB Intel X25-M 2nd gen SSD boot drive (hey is was fast back in the day)
Windows 10 Home 64bit
It has been my work horse for close to seven years. When I built the computer I installed Window 7 64bit and upgraded to Windows 10 Home 64bit during the last month of the initial Microsoft WIndows 10 free upgrade offer period.
The featured image at the top of this article is the screen that takes over your desktop to begin the Creators Update Windows 10 Install Process.

Starting the Creators Update process

To begin the update you start by reviewing your privacy settings.
After you click or tap on the Review Settings button you are asked to review your current WIndows 10 privacy settings. After you are satisfied with your settings click Accept.
On the next page you get this information “There’s spme prep that needs to be dome before the update will be installed. We’ll be working behind the scenes for awhile, and you can continue to work uninterrupted. You’ll be able to schedule the installation for a time that works for you – it won’t start right now.
Rest assured that you’ll be notified before the update begins, so you can save your files and data.
Click OK.

I was left to wonder when and what would happen next.
The following day I opened Settings | Update & security and there was a notice that the Creators Update was ready to be installed. I click Install now and started the installation.
Below is our video of the Creators Update Windows 10 Install Process to show what exactly is invloved.

Video Creators Update Windows 10 Install Process.

Update time took approximatly 35 minutes from start to finish.
So far I have not had any issues with the computer after updating to the Windows 10 Creators Update.

How to using the Windows 10 Mail application add contact was a complete mystery to me.
Then I discovered the way!
The video below shows the exact steps to add a contact from a received email sender’s information.
Or how to add an email sender info to Windows 10 mail client.
The new Windows 10 mail client presents itself as a minimalist user interface.
Thing that don’t look clickable can be. They draw no attention to any function.
Oh, and one other thing. You don’t save Contacts in Contacts anymore.

You save Contacts in the People App

The thing is you don’t actually save the contact information in Windows 10 email.
You save contacts in the People App. There are actually three applications that are integrated in the Windows 10 Mail application.
They are Mail, Calendar, and People, applications.
Mail handles email, Calendar takes care of your scheduling or Calendar, and People is your Contacts application.

The Windows 10 Mail Application Add Contact video will show you how to add a contact to the People application of the sender of an email received by you.

Adding SSL to your website has never been easier. The video below HTTP to HTTPS SSL WordPress shared Linux 1and1 hosting shows how to setup a SSL SNI certificate in a Linux shared hosting environment. I am using 1and1 hosting in this example but the principles will be similar regardless of hosting provider.
There are many FREE SSL choices available to website developers.
You can choose CloudFlare Flexible SSL for a FREE option, we have an article with video here on how to setup the FREE CloudFlare Flexible SSL for WordPress

We will do it for you

And at probably less than you imagine
Just give us a call!

The SSL option I am showing today in this article is provided by and managed by the hosting company and uses an SSL SNI certificate.
This type of SSL certificate is usually provided FREE of charge by the hosting provider. 1and1 hosting is providing this SSL service FREE of charge to it’s hosting customers and that just happens who is providing the website hosting in the video.

SSL SNI Certificate manage by hosting provider HTTP to HTTPS

Hosting providers are now offering a FREE SSL certificate to their hosting customers. This type of SSL certificate is usually of the SNI SSL type. SNI stands for (Server Name Indication). This is end to end encryption from browser to server. Using SNI SSL certificate gives the ability to provide SSL in shared hosting environments, such as shared linux website hosting. The SNI SSL uses only one IP address and has separate SSL certificates for each domain. An advantage of this type of SSL is hosting providers are able to save precious IP v4 addresses and still provide HTTPS services.

Router port forwarding of TCP and UDP protocol port 1723.
Windows 10 VPN server configuration.
Setting up the Windows 10 VPN client.
Setting for windows 10 firewall inbound rules. Access shared folders and resources such as printers remotely and securely.
This article and video I will show Windows 10 VPN server client PPTP setup.
Including Windows 10 firewall settings needed for connecting to shared folders from remote locations or the public internet and not just your local area network or LAN.
This VPN configuration is not intended to hide or protect your location. It is intended to enable connectivity and some level of security when connecting to an local network resource from the internet or a WAN.

You will want to view the video and read the article if in the past after setting up a Windows 10 VPN and the VPN would connect but you receive error code 0x80070035 cannot find network path when attempting to view and or access shared folders or resources from outside your local area network such as the internet.
Network Troubleshooting report shows issue found: Windows can’t communicate with the device or resource. Make sure device or resource allows incoming connections for File and Printer Sharing.

I will start the Windows 10 VPN server client PPTP setup instructions by getting the IP address inforamtion that will be needed to complete the configurations. Then I will show setting up the router for port forwarding of TCP and UDP protocols on port 1723. Next I will show how to setup and configure the VPN server on a Windows 10 computer. This is the computer that has the shared resources you want to connect to. Resources such as files, folders, and printers. Next the setup of a shared folder on the computer adcting as the VPN server with the correct folder permissions. Then the Windows 10 firewall configuration for inbound rules for TCP and UDP port 1723 and the firewall settings that will allow you to access the shared folder or folders on the VPN server from outside your local area network like from the internet or a WAN. Then the Windows 10 PPTP VPN client configuration. This is setup on the Windows 10 computer that will used as the remote computer to connect to the VPN server either across a local area network or across the internet or WAN depending on which Windows firewall rule you implement.

Video showing Windows 10 VPN server client PPTP setup including Window firewall and router configuration settings.

Router setup port forwarding TCP and UDP protocol on port 1723

This setup will differ depending on the make and model of your router. In my example I’m using a 2Wire 3600 HGV modem with built-in wireless router. The modem / wireless router was issued to me by AT&T U-Verse.
Setup static IP for VPN server PC. If possible. If this changes you have to use the new IP address assigned by the DHCP server when connecting to the shared resources on the VPN server.
Setup port forwarding TCP and UDP port 1723.
Find public IP of router. You can also get this information by typing this command ipconfig /all in the cmd window.
You will need this IP address when setting up the VPN client.

Windows 10 VPN Server Setup

Open Settings.
Then Network & Internet.
Select VPN.
Under Related settings select Change adapter options.
Once the Network Connections window opens press the ALT key on your keyboard.
Then click on File then New Incoming Connection.
In the Allow connections to this computer window Who may connect to this computer either select an existing user or uncheck all users if any are checked then click on Add someone.
Enter a user name.
Enter Full name.
Enter and confirm password. You will need this information when configuring the VPN client.
Click Next.
On the How will people connect page.
Check Through the Internet then click next.
On the next window highlight Internet Protocol Version 4.
Then click Properties.
The Incoming Properties window opens.
Under Network access check Allow callers to access my local area network.
Under IP address assignment change to Specify IP address.
Use an IP range either outside the DHCP range or a IP address that is unlikely to be assign by the DHCP server.
Click on Allow access.
That’s it for the VPN server setup.

Create Windows 10 VPN server shared folder and assign folder permissions.

You can create the shared folder at any location you want. For this example I will create it on the desktop of the Windows 10 VPN server.
To Create the shared folder on the desktop.
Right click on an open space of your desktop.
Hover over new then select folder.
Name folder. I will name mine vpn-share.
Right click on the newly created folder.
Select Properties.
Click on the Sharing tab.
Then click Share.
In the Choose people to share with click on the drop down then select Everyone and click Add.

Then click on Everyone and change Permission level from Read to Read/Write then click Share.
click Done.

Now click on Advanced Sharing
Check Share this folder.
Then click on Permissions.
Select Everyone or user you created.
Check Full Control Allow.
Click Apply
OK.
Apply.
OK.
Click Close.
You now have a shared folder with the correct permissions to use once you are connected to the VPN server using the PPTP VPN connection.
We are all most done with Windows 10 VPN Server Client PPTP Setup.
Now on to the Windows 10 firewall configuration.

Windows 10 firewall configuration.

Open Settings.
Then Network & Internet.
Select VPN.
Then under Related settings select Windows Firewall.
In the Windows firewall window Select Advanced settings.
Then select Inbound Rules.
Then right click on Inbound Rules and select New Rule.
Select Port then Next.
Select TCP and Specify local ports enter 1723 in the box then Next.
Allow the connection should be selected then click Next.
On the When does this rule apply Domain, Private, and Public should be checked. Then click Next.
Name the rule. I used 1723-tcp. Click Finish.

Now you need to create the Inbound Rule for UDP on port 1723. You do this the same way as you created the TCP port 1723 rule except select UDP and Specify local ports enter 1723 in the box then Next.
After you have finished setting up the TCP port 1723 and the UDP port 1723 Inbound Rule you are done with the configuration for using the VPN when both server and client are connected to the same local area network. You will be able to see and use your shared folders when both client and server are connected to the same LAN or local area network.

If you try to use the VPN from a remote location such as your local Starbucks Wi-Fi the VPN connection will connect but you probably won’t be able to see or use the shared folder on the VPN server you setup.

In order to have access to the shared folder on the VPN server through the VPN tunnel from a remote location you will need to change one firewall settings. I will cover the firewall setting changes to access shared resources through the VPN from the internet next.

Windows 10 Firewall settings enable access to shared folder from public internet or WAN

This is the fix for error code 0x80070035 when attempting to view and or access shared folders from outside your local area network.
Network Troubleshooting report shows issue found: Windows can’t communicate with the device or resource. Make sure device or resource allows incoming connections for File and Printer Sharing.
To begin.
Open Settings.
Then Network & Internet.
Select VPN.
Then under Related settings.
Select Windows Firewall.
In the Windows firewall window Select Advanced settings.
Then select Inbound Rules.
All the Inbound Rules should now be visible.
Scroll down the Inbound Rules until you find the File and Printer Sharing listings. When selecting the File and Printer Sharing rules make sure you are selecting the rule with the Profile of Private, Public and not Domain. Unless you want to include Domains.
Double Click on the Inbound Rule File and Printer Sharing (NB-SMB-In) with the Profile of Private, Public.
We need to change the Scope Properties Remote IP address, (These IP addresses, local subnet) change this setting to Remote IP address, (Any IP address).

To edit the Inbound File and Printer Sharing rule for File and Printer Sharing (NB-SMB-In) simply double click on the rule.
Then select the Scope tab.
In the Remote IP address section bullet These IP address,
then add,
then bullet Predefined set of computers,
then from the drop down menu select Internet
then OK
apply and OK.
Another way to allow SMB sharing from remote IP addresses is to bullet (Any IP address) in Remote IP address section.
Click Apply.
Then OK.
That’s it.

Setting up the Windows 10 VPN client.

Open Settings.
Then Network & Internet.
Select VPN.
Select Add a VPN connection.
Under VPN provider select Windows (Built in).
Under Connection name the name of the connection.
Server name or address. Enter the public WAN IP address from the router.
Under VPN change to Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
Type of sign-in info. Select User name and password.
Enter user name. This is the user name used when the setting up the server side of the VPN.
Enter password. This is the password used when the setting up the server side of the VPN.
Check Remember my sign-in info if you want to.
Click Save.
That’s it for the Windows 10 VPN Client setup.
You will now be able to make a VPN connection using PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) from a client computer into the VPN server you created and access shared folders on that computer from the outside your local area network as an example from your local Starbucks or McDonld’s Wi-Fi network.

Windows 10 has a built in cloud storage application called OneDrive.
This article will show you to using Windows 10 Disable OneDrive on Startup.
We will also show you how to remove the OneDrive icon from the navigation window of File Explorer.

With Windows 10 Home you will need to edit the Windows Registry file to accomplish this task.
This step requires editing Group Policies with Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.

To stop the OneDrive Cloud Storage application from loading on startup

Every time you start Windows 10 you need to open Windows Task Manager.
You can open Task Manager by right clicking on the Windows 10 Task Bar.
Once Task Manager is open select the Startup Tab.
Then highlight the Microsoft OneDrive application and click on the Disable button.
You have now disabled Windows 10 One Drive on start up. It will no longer load when you start your computer.
This works for all editions of Windows 10.

The previous procedure stops OneDrive from loading on startup. But the One Drive icon is still on the window of File Explorer.
If you want to remove the One Drive icon from the Windows 10 File Explorer window follow the steps below.
For Windows 10 Home edition.
Using Registry Editor regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive. (If that key doesn’t exist, you need to create it). Add a new DWORD value, DisableFileSyncNGSC, and set it to 1. Restart the PC to make the policy setting effective.

In Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can use Group Policy to make this change. Open Local Group Policy Editor (Gpedit.msc). Next go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive. Double-click the policy Prevent The Usage Of OneDrive For File Storage and set it to Enabled.

After you restart your PC, the OneDrive icon is no longer in the navigation pane and the sync client no longer runs.

These changes apply to all users of the selected device. If you previously synced files to OneDrive, they remain in the local OneDrive folder but are no longer linked to the cloud folder.
