Windows

hen working with multiple applications, a multi-monitor system can not only look good, but also greatly improve the productivity of your multi-tasking. However, a multi-monitor configuration is only practical if you set it up correctly.

Fortunately, Windows 10 has many features and settings to support one, two, three, four, and more monitors without the need for third-party software to provide the best possible desktop experience.

In this Windows 10 guide, we offer several tips for setting up and using a multiple monitor setup, whether you’re connecting an external monitor to your notebook or two, three, or more monitors to your desktop or workstation. read more

Most people who try to enable remote access for their Plex server should not have any problems. However, if you encounter problems, this page should help you provide troubleshooting information that will help you solve the problem.

Plex is a client-server media flow and software suite. It has a Plex Media Server desktop application available on Windows, Ubuntu and macOS. This application allows you to organize various media files on your computer and allows players to access them via the Internet if you get the correct identification information. This is an excellent feature that has gained a lot of traction over time.

Although the application is excellent, it is a little complex with many parameters to consider. For this reason, many people encounter problems when they do not have access to Plex or get the error message “Plex not available outside your network”. This is a very common problem, so there is no need to worry.

Enable remote access

During the initial configuration of the Plex Media server, the installation wizard asks you to enable or disable remote access. When the default state is enabled, you may have chosen to disable remote access at this point, or you may have accidentally disabled it by playing with the system settings later. However, it is quite simple to check the status of the remote access and activate it if it is currently disabled.

If you are connected to the Web Control Panel of your Plex Media server, select the Settings icon in the upper right toolbar.

From the Settings menu, select the Server tab. Then select Remote Access in the left navigation pane. By default, you only see a single view (the information in the large red box below), for the advanced view with the “Server Assignment” information, click on the “Show Advanced” button in the upper right corner of the navigation bar.

Use uPnPnP or NAT-PMP on your router.

uPnP/NAT-PMP are router functions that allow Plex to negotiate directly with your router without having to manually configure port numbers or similar.

Plex tells your router that it is on the internal network and that it wants to make itself available to the external Internet. It prompts the router to open a port and forward incoming traffic on that port to a specific port on your plex server. When a Plex request is received from the Internet, the router knows exactly where to send this packet on your internal network. Without this automatic port configuration, your router would simply reject the packet and would not know what to do with it.

Your router may not have enabled the default uPnP function, so you will need to enable it. This process varies depending on the router manufacturer.

Check for updates

One thing that many people sometimes seem to ignore is updates, whether on a smartphone, PC or server. The Plex server is something you will probably install and forget, but you really need to stay on the ball, especially if you encounter a problem that is already solved in a more recent version. The first step is version control. Follow this process:

1. Connect to the server’s web interface (http://SERVER-IP-ADDRESS:32400).
2. Click on the Settings icon in the upper right corner.
3. Select the Server tab. (The server should automatically check for updates and notify you when an update is available.)
4. Install a newer version.
5. Restart the Plex media server.

The Microsoft Store is not as popular as Microsoft would like it to be, but there are certain applications that you can only access. The application itself is not bad, especially considering that you can install applications remotely from there. Rather, it’s the limited applications of the UWP that force users to stick to desktop applications. However, if you have a number of applications that you’ve downloaded from the Microsoft Store, that’s the only way to update them. Unfortunately, sometimes downloads/updates are sometimes blocked in the Microsoft Store. Restarting the application or download does not solve the problem, but here are some other solutions you can try. read more

The sniping tool is a great way to take a quick screenshot of what’s on your screen, cut out irrelevant parts and save the image. You can then share it with others or keep it in your own record.

Unfortunately, the clipping tool is not available for free, and a common mistake you may make is that the clipping could not be sent. This usually happens if you do not have a MAPI-compatible email client installed on your computer. In other words, you must have an email client program such as Microsoft Office Outlook, Mailbird or Mozilla Thunderbird installed on your device. read more

If you can’t download applications from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 because the “Get” button doesn’t work, click here to find out how to solve the problem.

The Microsoft Store application on Windows 10 allows you to add new applications of your choice. However, sometimes you may experience problems downloading the applications. In this article, we’ll talk about one of the known problems that occur when you add applications to Windows 10.

When you are on an application page and want to install it, you usually click the “Get” button. But the problem is that nothing happens after that. The application doesn’t download or install, and the “Get” button stays there because it hasn’t been clicked. This number just repeats that the “Get” button doesn’t work in the Store application. read more

If you have a trial version of Microsoft Office installed on your computer and you try to install another instance of a detail copy, this error may occur on a Windows computer.

A scheduled task could not start by leaving this message: The task scheduler could not start the “Fence Check Rota” task for the user. Additional data: Error value: 2147943726.

Task Scheduler error 2147943726 is the most common error during task execution. The error is directly related to the failure to start the task. Sometimes, the error code is accompanied by the error “unknown user name or wrong password”. This error is only associated with the user name or password for which the task is configured.

Reasons for the Task Scheduler Error 2147943726

The most common reason is if you have changed the user’s password. The task is configured with the old password.

In any case, in a certain case, the same error will appear if the task scheduler has lost confidence in the field. In this case, the errors only contain the error code 2147943726 and the error “Unknown user name or wrong password” is not displayed.

Re-assigning the user to an application account

The vast majority of users who encountered this problem reported that the problem was resolved after reassigning the user to the latest Active Directory information of the user under (Change user or group).

If you want a long-term solution, you should use an “application” user instead of a normal user who changes regularly. If you use your account, you may change your password from time to time, which means you will have to reapply this correction.

But if you use an “application” account, there is a good chance that the solution you are going to implement will last until the next Windows installation.

Reauthenticate access

The reason for the error is the most recent password change of the system user that was configured when the task was created.

1. Go to the task properties
2. In the General tab, click on “Change user or group…”.
3. Enter the user name in the “Enter name of the object to be selected” field.
4. This will require authentication, specify your credentials.

To find out whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows, just a few steps and the tools are already built into Windows. Learn how to find out what you’re running.

Whether you’re using 32-bit or 64-bit Windows makes a big difference. Using a 64-bit version of Windows means better security and the ability to use more memory in your system. And if you have a system that supports it, upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows is free, even if it takes a little work. We’ll show you how to tell whether you’re using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of any version of Windows from XP to 10.

Differences Between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS

In terms of performance, 64-bit systems are much more powerful. Not only can they process more calculations at once, up to about four billion times the physical memory of a 32-bit processor.

This different architecture also allows PCs to use the available RAM memory. For example, 32-bit versions of Windows are perfect for handling 4 GB of RAM or less, but anything over 4 is better handled by 64-bit systems.

In the case of Microsoft Windows, basic versions of operating systems impose software limitations on the amount of RAM an application can use. However, 4 GB is the maximum usable memory that the 32-bit version can handle.

If you really want to take advantage of this new architecture, you need access to software designed specifically for this purpose. A good example is games, which are known to require a lot of system resources to run efficiently.

This also applies to image processing or 3D editing programs. Overall, 64-bit versions of Windows are best for programs that require instant access to information.

How to Tell if you are Running Windows 64-Bit or 32-Bit?

Getting this information is relatively easy in Windows. Here’s how you can do it in two easy steps.

If you no longer want to receive email from a particular account in the Mail app for Windows 10, you can either delete the account and remove it from the application or disable email for that account. Deleting or removing an account from either application will also delete all calendars associated with that account.

Deleting accounts in Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mail is a simple task. When you delete the account, you stop accessing the account in that application and delete locally stored data, but you do not delete the account itself or the messages it contains.

If you accidentally added an email account on your Windows 10 computer, or if you no longer want to use the email ID you added, you can delete the account and the email application from your PC. This will make your email application less cumbersome. You can add almost any email account to the Mail application, including Outlook.com, Office 365, Google Account, Yahoo, iCloud, etc., and enable synchronization.
