Cloudflare has announced their first consumer product.
Cloadflare Consumer DNS.
Cloudflare DNS Faster More Private is how Cloudflare is differentiating it’s consumer DNS service from the others like Cisco’s Open DNS and Google’s public DNS services.
According to the announcement on the 1.1.1.1 website

Who is behind 1.1.1.1

1.1.1.1 is a partnership between Cloudflare and APNIC.

The announcement also states in regard to privacy that

Cloudflare will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you). And we’re not just saying that. We’ve retained KPMG to audit our systems annually to ensure that we’re doing what we say.

Frankly, we don’t want to know what you do on the Internet—it’s none of our business—and we’ve taken the technical steps to ensure we can’t.

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.
That’s it with this article on the Creators Update Windows 10 Install Process.
Hope you found it useful.

In this article I will show xampp Apache install Windows 10 port 80.
There seems to be a problem or conflict with both xampp and Windows 10 system service World Wide Web Publishing Service or IIS services. Both of these want to run on port 80 by default. Windows 10 World Wide Web Publishing Service loads on startup and this stops xampp from running on port 80.
Now you can reconfigure xampp’s Apache to use a different port but that solution can also cause problems down the road.
Here is a way to temporarly turn of the Windows 10 World Wide Web Publishing Service that runs on port 80 and keeps Xampp’s Apache from running on port 80.
This change of settings will only work until the next reboot of the Windows 10 computer.
On reboot the Windows 10 World Wide Web Publishing Service will start running again and block xampp from running on port 80.
You must also be logged into Windows with Administrator privileges to stop the Windows 10 World Wide Web Publishing Service.

Video xampp Apache install Windows 10 port 80

To stop the Windows 10 World Wide Web Publishing Service

• Start by logging into Windows with an Administrator account.
• Then right click on the Windows start button and select Computer Management.
• Then click on the < sign next to Services and Applications.
• Then click Services.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for (World Wide Web Publishing Service).
• Right click on World Wide Web Publishing Service and select Stop.
• Close Computer Management screen.
• Launch xampp.

xampp’s Apache should now run using port 80.

Now that you have xampp’s Apache running on port 80 you are ready to locally develop WordPress as an example.
Remeber that after a computer reboot you will have to make this setting change again to have xampp Apache use port 80.

If you would like more information on xampp here is the Wikipedia entry.
xampp Wikipedia is a free and open source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends,[2] consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.[3][4] XAMPP stands for Cross-Platform (X), Apache (A), MariaDB (M), PHP (P) and Perl (P). It is a simple, lightweight Apache distribution that makes it extremely easy for developers to create a local web server for testing and deployment purposes.

When developing a WordPress website or blog a nice touch is to customize the wp-admin login page logo. You can replace the default WordPress logo with one of your own using the functions.php file. This article will show you how to do that.

Here is what you will need to accomplish this bit of branding.
WordPress customize wp-admin login page logo using functions php.

You will need FTP access to the WordPress site.
I use FileZilla FTP client.

Next you will need the logo you want to use to replace the default WordPress wp-admin login page logo.

I also recommend using a Child Theme for your WordPress.
Using a Child Theme allows you to make customization and not loose them after updating WordPress.
So use a Child Theme!
That’s all you will need.
Oh, and a bit of html and php code.

The code is further down the article

You can either view the video below or follow the step by step instructions below.

Let’s get started with WordPress customize wp-admin login page logo using functions php.

First FTP into the WordPress installation and go to /wordpress/wp-content/themes/child-theme directory.
You want to create a directory inside the child-theme directory named “images” without the quotes where you will upload your new logo image file.

Next upload your logo image to this /wordpress/wp-content/themes/child-theme/images/ directory.
Write down or remember the new logo’s image dimensions and file name. You will need them when configuring the code in the function.php file.
Log out of your FTP session. We are done with that part.

Next login to the WordPress/wp-admin/ page with administrator privileges. Notice the default WordPress logo on the wp-admin page.
You won’t see it again.

Go to Appearance | Editor

Make sure your Child Theme is selected to edit.
Then on the right side of the page select the Theme Functions | functions.php file to edit.
Scroll to the end of the functions.php file to add the code from below.

Add this code to your functions.php file.

[php]
// Change admin login logo
function my_login_logo() { ?&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#login h1 a, .login h1 a {
background-image: url(&lt;?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?&gt;/images/logo.jpg);
height:72px;
width:300px;
background-size: 300px 72px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;?php }
add_action( ‘login_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_login_logo’ );

// Change admin login logo link
function my_login_logo_url() {
return home_url();
}
add_filter( ‘login_headerurl’, ‘my_login_logo_url’ );

// Change Title description
function my_login_logo_url_title() {
return ‘Title description on hover’;
}
add_filter( ‘login_headertitle’, ‘my_login_logo_url_title’ );
[/php]

Next we need to edit the code for our own use.
We need to rename the logo image file to your logo’s image file name.
Edit image file name logo.jpg to your image file name.

[php]
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#login h1 a, .login h1 a {
background-image: url(&lt;?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?&gt;/images/logo.jpg);
[/php]

Next edit the height, width, and background-size entries to the size of your image file.

[php]
height:72px;
width:300px;
background-size: 300px 72px;
[/php]

Finally edit the

[php]
function my_login_logo_url_title() {
return ‘Title description on hover’;
[/php]

Replace Title description on hover between the single quotes with your Title description.
Click Update file to save the changes.

Logout of WordPress.

You should now see the custom logo on the wp-admin login page.

That’s it for our WordPress customize wp-admin login page logo using functions php instructions.
I hope your found it useful.

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.

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.
