  1. Reset this PC whitepaper or additional info


    We found on an UK government site this statement that we need to confirm if it is true but we were unable to find any whitepaper explaining what does reset this PC do on the backend at a technical level.


    Does anyone know if this can be confirmed based on any documentation posted by Microsoft?


    “When using Reset this PC on a drive with BitLocker full disk encryption or ‘Device Encryption’ enabled, the process will simply delete the decryption key, making recovery of the encrypted data impossible…”

    Thanks in advance

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    GPUz Incorrect Info GF117

    I've got the GT620M in a Zenbook and the newest version of GPUz has it listed as a 40nm part whereas all other info on the web suggests its 28nm. Can you investigate, W1z?

    Thanks

  4. Reset this PC whitepaper or additional info

    Transfer file list with additional info to excel

    OK, yes now in Q-dir I can get the additional columns from the list. But exporting works correctly only for the visible lines of the list. Date and image size is blank för the reminder of the list. Or is there some setting somewhere that could correct this?
    Tried to print to .pdf but in the resulting file there are no tabs or other divider between columns. Spaces yes but not very helpful.

    I repeat; I suggest Microsoft includes an export list possibility in Explorer at earliest convienence.

    Best regards,

    Beros
