Upgrade to Windows 10

-

Upgrade is never a trivial thing.

The goal is to provide a seamless experience for all users. The new release has some awesome functionalities to offer, often revolutionary. Most users are expecting things are backwards compatible, everything they are using now should work without a problem after upgrade. Don't assume people are all coming from the previous release. Some could come from the dinosaur age! ;) And you still need to support them.

Understanding the challenges, I do expect a few bumps after the upgrade. Here are the issues I have encountered while upgrading my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I appreciate the guys shared their solutions and made my life a lot easier. Hope this will be helpful for someone too.


  • Windows Remote Desktop is not working


 This is the tool enabled me working from home. It cannot fail, must work! After upgrade, I can connect using remote desktop, but it crashes several seconds right after. I disabled the Audio setting as described in the following post, and that is it! Back online.

Happy upgrading to Windows 10!

This nice 300 thread count 100% cotton duvet cover has a full zipper closure on one side. The zipper pull is lost somewhere, leaving it on the shelf for a while. I finally have time to fix it. Rip the seams open along the zipper and took it off; Iron the top and bottom fabric flat, align them, and fold over 1", iron again; Divide the length into 3, with right side together, top stitch along the folded line to close the left and right 1/3, and leave the middle 1/3 open; Cut 3 pieces of Velcro tape, 2" each, separate them;  Evenly space the loop side of the Velcro tape on the lining within the opening, pin them in place, then sew the Velcro tape through 2 layers of the lining; Align the other side of the Velcro tapes on the top fabric, pin and sew ONLY single layer, as I don't want to leave 3 squares on the top fabric when done;  Top stitch a straight line along the folded edge of both top and lining fabric, make sure don't catch the other side by accid

How to clean a stainless steel coffee mug?

My favorite stainless coffee mug is getting so flavorful that I think I should give it a deep clean. Add 2 Tbsp baking soda into mug; Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar into mug, enjoy watching the bubbles;  Put the lid on, gently turn the mug so that the inside is rinsed with the solution; With a dish sponge, clean the inside becomes so easy, and the coffee stains come off effortlessly; Raise mug with hot water. It took me 5 minutes to get it as shinny as new. A quick and green way to clean!
