Fix Windows Update Script

Paste into notepad and save as fixupdate.bat

Should work. I've done it manually before but not with this script.

@ECHO OFF

echo Simple Script to Reset / Clear Windows Update

 echo.

PAUSE

echo.

attrib -h -r -s %windir%system32catroot2

attrib -h -r -s %windir%system32catroot2*.*

net stop wuauserv

net stop CryptSvc

net stop BITS

ren %windir%system32catroot2 catroot2.old

ren %windir%SoftwareDistribution sold.old

ren "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%application dataMicrosoftNetworkdownloader" downloader.old

net Start BITS

net start CryptSvc

net start wuauserv

echo.

echo Task completed successfully...

echo.

I have an early Yoga running 1903 and it refuses to feature update.

I thought it was the Conextant Audio drive but looks like it was a BIOS update needed.

2021-05-15 I let Lenovo update the bios. Update still stopped at 61%. But this time running Update Assistant looks like it is going to make it.

(Of course Assistant detected standard update running so I hade to net stop wuauserv and it was happy.

Do I really care if I have 2004? I would have been happy to stop it at 1909 but I does bug me not to have things works correctly.

Windows Key Beeps and Keyboard Start Menu Not Working

2021-05-15 None of these have worked to date.

Driving me crazy . . .

First but only temporary

Press "shift" 5 times in a row

***More permanent is reregister the Windows Key

Reregister the Windows Key

1. Open Task Manager, click File > Run new task. 

2. Type powershell in the Create new task box. Check the option 'Create this task with administrative privileges'. Click OK. 

3. In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, type/paste following and press Enter key: 

Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)} 

4. Let it complete and then restart your system.

This seemed to work but it came back . . .

***So Now I'm Trying This

Rename sethc.exe to sethc.exe.old

You will need to take ownership of the file to change the name

***If that does not work try this

You may try the registry key settings as below:

Click on start and in the start search box type regedit and press enter. In the registry editor make the following changes.

1.     Disable Sticky Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys]

“Flags”=”506″

2.     Disable Filter Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]

“Flags”=”122″

3.     Disable Toggle Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys]

“Flags”=”58″

Note: one can completely disable accessibility options by renaming/deleting the registry-node Accessibility (above)

flag 0 works on sticky but hurts in games

These are the original settings

response 126
sticky 56
toggle 62

 Notes

Record Video

You will probably need to get ffmpeg.exe and enter the path

Install recorder devices is not intuitive but you are not looking for anything. Just accept the defaults.

The captured files are saved in *.webm and will need assignment to Vlan

Record Audio Only

Go to the Hotkey Settings

Edit the task settings

Then edit the Recorder settings

Then edit the screen recorder options

Copy to Clipboard

    In after capture tasks activate "copy file to clipboard". Then you can paste the image after capture.

It would seem natural to chose "copy image to clipboard" but that does nothing that I can tell.
