unable to play games Unity Web Player error.

Hi Daryl,

As an initial troubleshooting step I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Unity Web Player from Programs and features and check the status of the issue.

To uninstall programs, go to Settings.

• On the Start menu, then select Settings.
• Select System > Apps & features.
• Select the program, then select Uninstall. Some apps that are built in to Windows can’t be uninstalled.
  
• Follow the directions on the screen.

As you have clearly described that the issue is with Unity Web Player not with game or browser and Unity Web Player is not developed by Microsoft. I suggest you to contact
Unity Web Player Support. Thank you.

 

Windows takes entire 32gb of my tablet storage. Alone.

You have some good tips above but take care when cleaning the Windows folder. You should have a Windows folder size c. 15-20GB.

I suggest the following in addition to the above:

1. Use Driver Store Explorer to identify and delete old/unused drivers - see https://driverstoreexplorer.codeplex.com/
2. Delete files in c:\windows\temp
3. Delete files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
4. Use Tree Size Free to see which folders are taking up space in case you have missed cleaning folders you are 'allowed' to delete - see TreeSize Free | JAM Software

 

How to run a unity-built after Computer is turned on

Goal

• User turns on Computer and Unity-built runs automatically.
  
• Upon system start and thereafter Unity start, User only sees the maximized gameview of unity. No windows Taskbar, steamVR window, nor anything else is visible.
  
• Unity-built quits and computer shuts down automatically upon respective user-input within the running Unity application.
  

The following approach is my current plan. Simpler solutions are always welcome.

I've tried Windows Kiosk Mode, but manual login to kiosk account was still necessary. Plus Unity doesn't seem to be available in Kiosk mode - or I overlooked something...

Step by step:

1. User turns on computer by pressing the power-button.
   
2. User-Login happens automatically; no user-input necessary (neither click, nor password input).
   
3. if a password protected account exists; login happens automatically.
   
4. if user-account exists, but without password protection; login happens automatically
   
5. Unity-built starts immediately.
   
6. Screen only shows game content; neither windows start menu, nor anything else is shown on the screen.
   
7. User has in-game options (within the running Unity application) to quit the game. Both Unity application and system shut down after user picks respective option.
   

Step 1 - 5:

I've been able to start the unity-built after system start via task scheduler, but I couldn't solve the problem of automatically logging into the user-account.

• Edit 1:
  I mangaged to disable required account-password input. User now reaches the desktop without having to input anything. I used strg + r and "netplwiz" which is described in this thread.
  

Step 6:

Problem: After unity start Windows start menu and steamVR windows are visible and overlay the gameview. User has to click into the gameview, to "pull" gameview to the front in order to hide said overlaying elements.
