Windows 10: Why is it that you have to go outside the Microsoft environment to get a simple task like...

I had an issue with several folders not deleting, I tried using the force delete RMDR command string and it did nothing. I finally decided that since this was Win 11 to try searching force delete on Win 11. Found a post mentioning unlocker portable and decided to give that a try, nothing to lose but a little time. Did the download, and gave it a spin, and it worked where nothing from microsoft did. Not sure why things refuse to delete, but this little program did the trick.

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

RDP Access to A Client PC from Outside LAN Environment

Hi Jacen,

Thanks for your reply.

1. I can reach the PC from outside the network, but this involves creating a separate rule to allow ping traffic to my public IP and forwarding to the client machine, which works fine, when I create such a rule. The Client machine in question is only listening on port 3389 for RDP traffic and not on the translated port. The Port translation means that the RDP traffic is translated by the firewall from the spurious port number XXXX to RDP3389 and the traffic is then forwarded to the client machine on port 3389. The reason for the port translation is so that I'm not advertising port 3389 on the public facing port of my firewall.

2. Everything is in order with the PC's IP address and DNS addresses. It's getting it IP from my DHCP server, same as all the other clients, including the ones I can reach over RDP from outside the LAN.

3. Tried disjoining the problem PC from the domain and rejoined. No changes still unable to reach it from outside the LAN.

4. Checked the logs and there are no specific events relating to remote desktop connections.

Thanks for the link to the article. I went through all the troubleshooting steps listed and no changes, still unable to connect from outside the LAN environment. Within the LAN environment absolutely no issues whatsoever. Extremely puzzling.
