Trying to fix a program with my build for 2 days...

Trying to fix why a VPN program's Network lock didn't work in my Windows 10 build for 2 days, finally found the culprit 'MobilePC'

Googling this component just now redirects me back to NTLite website release notes, november 13th patch:

"Components: ‘Mobile PC’ removal breaking ‘Windows Connection Manager’ "

Lolz. Frak me.

I didn't get any NTLite update notifications but that might be because I was using a build sent directly to me a while back through mail. I do have auto updates on.
So perhaps assuming this function did work, a window that shows whats new would be handy :p

Anyway, I though it was kind of funny.
 
Been there got the tee shirt :p. And to rub salt in the wounds you gotta do this every 6 months, evil laugh.
 
why not chocolatey it. https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation#installing-chocolatey
https://windowsreport.com/convert-ps1-exe-files/ makes a boot-strap.exe to pull in choco
can make a nuget package with MSI and powershell to deploy from a network share.
https://github.com/NuGetPackageExplorer/NuGetPackageExplorer

https://chocolatey.org/packages


https://github.com/cryps1s/DARKSURGEON used for windows 10 & packer/Vagrant to build windows 10 Vm's to play with Virus's/malware or other suspect files for forensic uses , on VIrtualbox/Vmware/etc , for dev-ops choco is back end windows installer process.

anycase choco & boxstarter boot strap can take a minimal windows 10 image and run
install-my-things.cmd including reboots for updates. choco install -y firefox
choco install -y googlechome ,
etc..
once choco installs , can have ntlite run the cmd file to add ore tools.
however boxstarter is useful when say visual studeo 2017 or reboot/s are required..
nicety is less integration , can have ntlite do it via cmd scripts at post install.

Ah, yeah, next time please report the issue before spending too much time on it, just in case.

Is your Check for updates enabled in the File - Settings?

It should be checking at least once in 24hr.

Thanks.

Yea. Perhaps cuz the VM time seems out of sync, not really bothered with it though.

Im not confident the new beta with removing MobilePC works. Ill get back and report.

It might fix that particular service, but still somehow effect networking?

Could this be related to why the Windows Audio service consumes 100% CPU when one removes Metro support?
 
Yea, Speedify VPN network firewall lock is broke still with beta. I assume this must be related to windoww connection manager, very high probability.

Ill leave it on then, its not like a major space consuming component.

No clue.
