After a fresh installation of the new OS Windows 11 I had to re-setup oh-my-posh for Windows terminal. There are already a lot of descriptions out there ‒ one of the best from Scott Hanselman ‒ so this should only be a little reminder for me and not an extensive description.
Please note: this description of for version 3 of o-my-posh!
Some days ago I installed Windows 10 which wants you to use Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud solution. Like the Windows versions before the Explorer integrates some items in the navigation area that you might not need, like the OneDive link. The Explorer itself does not provide any option to hide this item, but you can do that via registry:
Today, another Java Update has been released, so I installed the new version und removed the old one. The “problem” was, as with the last updates, that I had to tell my Stash installation where to find the new Java version. I opened the Windows registry and updated the following three registry keys:
Some days ago I received a 256GB SSD for my Server in which I used a normal 500GB HDD for Windows installation – booting process needed about 5 minutes so it was time for this step ;) Because many services, like Active Directory, Oracle Database or Atlassian Stash, running on this machine I did not want to reinstall and reconfigure everything from scratch, so I looked for tools and easy possibilities to clone/migrate my server installation. And here is my solution which worked really well and is totally free!
I have written a script for running Atlassian Bitbucket Server Backup Client as a Windows task on my server. There are two main reasons/features why I created that script and why I want to share it.
Today, I installed the new version of Atlassian Stash, Version 3.0.5. Further versions were provides as archive which had to be extracted and configured manually. A new »feature« is the easy-to-use installer, which is – in my opinion – more user-friendly and faster to use than the archive before.
I have to admin that I have not tested the Bluetooth device with my former Windows 7 installations on the Inspirons 17 3737, so I thought that the WLAN problem was the only one – that was false conclusion. The problem with the Bluetooth device was, that smartphones or other notebooks could perhaps find the Dell Inspiron 17 3737 (or even could not find it!), but paring was impossible!
Today I received another DELL Inspiron 17 3737, so I can now test the Bluetooth problem mentioned here. But first, I had to install Windows 7 again… So, the first thing was to disable Secure Boot in BIOS, because Windows 7 does not install correctly with enabled Secure Boot option.
Some weeks ago I installed Windows 7 on a DELL Inspiron 17 3737 notebook for a friend – yesterday, another Inspiron 17, the same procedure, the same problem! Most drivers for devices were loaded automatically by Windows Update, other drivers can be downloaded from dell.com. All worked fine, but not with the WLAN device… That’s the reason for this post!
Today I installed Windows 8.1 64-bit on a HP G62-b63SG notebook. Everything went fine and all devices were identified correctly – until the notebook activated the suspend mode and I woke it up again. The screen was black now and seemed to be turned off, while the machine was running… Well, at the first moment I thought that the display was turned off and not reactivated, but it was not the case! Only the backlight was off, which I realized in a lucky break…
