Re: Create And Install Windows Service Step By Step In C# 5 Days Ago by rproffitt Since the answer would be many pages long, read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/walkthrough-creating-a-windows-service-application-in-the-component-designer and consider the two other pages noted there.

But the Copilot does not show up. First I thought after updating Windows, the copilot feature would show up. But cant. Could anyone please help to get the Copilot feature on my PC? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Re: Microsoft Copilot is missing! 3 Days Ago by Reverend Jim Right click on taskbar and select taskbar settings. If you want the icon to show then turn copilot preview on. Or you can use the hotkey WINDOWS+C. Copilot should appear docked to the right of the screen..

Re: Read file properties of video files in C++ 1 Week Ago by Thomasio Yes, I know, Windows doesn't report details for all video files, sometime it just doesn't and I already guessed that may be because of a file format Windows cannot read correctly. But then for the video files where Windows does report details within the file properties it gets them correct and it does that in near no time which makes me believe … Read file properties of video files in C++ 2 Weeks Ago by Thomasio I want to figure out what Windows does when you right-click a video file and check properties and I would like to write a similar piece of code in C++. I should be able to figure out how to read the file type and size, but I'm lost in how to get details of the video like resolution and runtime. Which API commands does Windows use there? Re: Read file properties of video files in C++ 1 Week Ago by pritaeas > It's open source, meaning one could look into the code That's the way I learn... There is no real Windows API to read video info, as this info is different for each video format. With the Windows Property System you can read some information, but it is not accessible with all platforms. Personally I'd choose to learn how to read the … Re: Read file properties of video files in C++ 1 Week Ago by toneewa The [Windows Media Foundation API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mfmediaengine/nf-mfmediaengine-imfmediaengine-getduration#requirements) is probably what you are thinking of. You also can just use my example, using the ffmpeg library. Just change the filename. extern "C" { #include <libavformat/… Re: Read file properties of video files in C++ 1 Week Ago by Thomasio How would that help me? That's just another program that does more or less the same Windows does, but doesn't mention which API commands one needs to get this output. It's open source, meaning one could look into the code and try to figure out the relevant commands but we all know figuring out what someone elses code does takes far longer than … Re: Read file properties of video files in C++ 1 Week Ago by rproffitt Regarding "doesn't open the file". I've used so many tools over the years to profile and log what apps access that I can write that Windows does open the file for a peek.

I found that the wxpython package was far better than tkinter. wxpython is based on wxwidgets which is essentially windows controls. Because wxwidgets are compiled for each major system, controls rendered by wxpython look like the native controls for whatever system is hosting. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa I wouldn't worry about not having any ASUS utilities. You can always download them later, [here](https://www.asus.com/support/download-center/). I consider them all bloatware. Having the partition as an MBR and then installing a Windows image as GPT, is like going to replace your spare tire and finding out it has a different lug nut bolt pattern… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 1 Week Ago by toneewa > Ever had to install Windows from 39 floppy disks? It was not fun, especially when disk 39 frequently had a read error. Not that many, I still have them. Highest was 6 for booting, so I could read a CD. I wrote on them, "BAD" if ever had that problem. > I actually tried this as well, running diskpart.exe. It couldn't see … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim I called Best Buy Friday morning to ask about the status of my laptop. I was told the average wait time was one minute. Fifteen minutes later I was told there were eight calls ahead of me and would I like to leave my number for a callback. I did so and after two more hours of waiting I called the local Best Buy direct. I was told my laptop would be… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I got a call from Best Buy this morning to tell me my laptop was back. When I got to the counter I told the tech that I would not accept it until they showed me that it could be reset to factory. I'll leave out a few of the details that don't matter to the tale. He powered up the laptop and showed me Windows 11. The touchpad was working. He went… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim >I consider them all bloatware Something I may try on this laptop (old ASUS K53E) once I get my other one back is a fresh install from USB but selecting "World" as my region. I read somewhere a while back that if you select any specific region, bloatware for that region gets installed, but if you pick World then no bloatware. You … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 1 Week Ago by toneewa Sounds like you got it all squared away. One reason I don't want to ever do a Windows reinstall is the compilers, libraries, and other software configurations. I've done 1 since 2015 for myself, with Windows 10. I also expect since, NAND flash SSDs wear out, it'll happen sooner or later. Only 37% life of drive remaining. Best of luck! Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got a call from Best Buy at 6:30 pm the same day. He informed me that the Windows system that the tech installed was not the OEM version for my machine. I asked why this should matter since I requested a reset to factory from the recovery partition. He said they couldn't do that because the recovery partition had been corrupted.
