Force Log Out Google Account On Chrome Close

Open Settings

Choose Advanced

Enter google.com and https://mail.google.com in Clear On Exit





I like turning off Chrome running in the background also. When I close Chrome, I want everything associated with Chrome to close.

Anydesk Setup

Step by Step Anydesk Setup
https://anydesk.com/platforms/windows

...After 1 1/2 years, Anydesk is still the best remote desk solution in my opinion.
... 1. On PCs you do not plan on offering sharing - Use the portable version and don't install.
... 2. I do not bother installing the new printer option. It may be great for some people but not me.

Anydesk will run without being installed. You must install it for unattended use.

This screen will come up after installation. Get Started.
Now set up a password.
Be sure to enable these settings.

Refurbished PCs on eBay

*7000-9000 series are the same
*i5 versions are cheaper and just fine. Both have 4 cores but i7 has 8 threads compared to 4.
*8 GB ram is minimum so factor in buying 4 GB ram if buying 4 GB PC.
*Adding a 256 GB minimum SSD boot drive is a must. Larger GB is faster. Smaller works fine but 256 is good compromise if loading programs to second drive. I'm shooting for 500 GB deals lately.

Dell OptiPlex 7050 MT i7 7700

7040-9040 seems to be earliest support for M.2
These are going to be harder to find yet and more expensive.

Some of these systems come with the NIC setting in BIOS causing a boot screen like this . . .

Group Policy Editor Added To Windows 10 Home

I bought a new laptop awhile back that came with Windows 10 Home.  I don't use Group Policy Editor all that often but I do occasionally. It was irritating not to have it. I read about adding it but results seemed mixed. The following site said they had nailed the process and it worked flawlessly for me.
