Windows 10: Seeing huge Indexing cost: 300454 ms and Stage required cost: 303750 ms values in...

Hi,


I'm seeing huge (5 minutes+)

Indexing cost: 300454 ms

and

Stage required cost: 303750 ms

values in

Winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer%4Operational.evtx

how to speed this up? I don't even use apps...



Some less insane values (that's 20-76 seconds - still takes way too long):

Bundle processing cost: 19656 ms

Bundle processing cost: 22860 ms

Enqueue cost: 33125 ms

Evaluation cost: 33406 ms

Stage required cost: 60672 ms

Stage required cost: 61141 ms

Stage required cost: 76296 ms



Edit: There are 5573 such events over the span of 14 days (2019.09.19-2019.10.01)


Sincerely,

Daniel "3ICE" Berezvai

Ms Azure costs / licensing and VM's


Hi there
has anybody got an idea on roughly what the monthly cost of the Azure Cloud service is for say a home user or a small (individual sole trader) type of business.

Basically to run 2 VM's with a small amount of e-commerce.

Looking at Ms's licensing- you'd need a Ph.D in Mathematics to even begin to understand what the costs are.

Cheers
jimbo

 

MS Money fails after WINDOWS 10 Install - requires IE 6


After installing Windows 10 and then running MS Money I get a message that MS Money now requires Internet Explorer 6.
My install of MS Money worked perfectly fine on Windows 8.1 - I really do not want to go back to 8.1.
Is there a fix for this - I see from other threads that this has been raised however no workable solution has been offered. Any suggestions please?
Thank You, Stuart H


As a side issue - I just found this on a different site which had positive replies. I'll be trying this later today. (Note this is NOT my suggestion and therefore untested by me
Follow the steps.

Open Registry Editor (RegEdit).
Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
In the right pane, look for Version registry value.
Modify the value date to 9.11.10240.0.

Having had a bit luck, I have one normal MSDN subscription and an additional subscription through MPN membership paid by my ex partners. Both of these subscriptions give me €130 monthly Azure credits, a total of €260. Depending on your MSDN subscription level (or rather Visual Studio subscription as it's known today) you will get €45 (£40 / $50), €85 (£75 / $100) or €130 (£115 / $150) monthly Azure credits.

In my case my credits have always been enough to pay for my use of Windows Server in Azure although I have to admit that as I want to / need to keep it free I only use as basic services as possible (each core / GB RAM / GB HDD costs extra). The new Azure Cost Calculator is quite easy to use and gives surprisingly accurate cost estimates: Pricing calculator | Microsoft Azure

The best way to find out the real cost (in my opinion) is to use the free 30 day Azure trial offer with comes with 170 credits, set up the service you need or are interested in and after the trial period see if cost meets your expectations. The trial requires a valid credit card but nothing is charged, even if you use the free credits before trial period runs out the service will stop, it will not continue by charging your card.
