UPDATE: I've played around a bit more and found that if you use a period followed by a space as the separator after the short day you get Thu. 16/4/20 on the Taskbar and in Settings and Control Panel and Thu. 16.4.20 in Event Viewer, Task Scheduler etc., which I find less jarring.

I played around with this a bit and saw the same issues as in the previous comments. easy enough to hit the reset in the control panel window.

When I changed the date to "ddd/M/d/yyyy" however, I have the day of the week in the taskbar and do not see anything else being upset by this. So far, at least.

It's really nice to have the day of the week down there. Thank you for the inspiration.

There are some limited pre-set options for date and time formats in the new settings app as well, under Time & Language>Region>Change Data Formats.

Interesting find, Rhiannon. Thanks.
Unexpected result of doing this: it changes the date display in programs, not just the taskbar. But not the way one would expect it.
I configure the date as Day / month / year, so today, before the tweak, was "15/04/2020".
I use Microsoft Money (years after development was stopped, I still find it the best personal finance software).
After this tweak, the date in MS Money suddenly changed to "15 04 2020". That is, no character between the digits. Yet the taskbar shows "Wed 15/04/2020."
I prefer having those intervening characters, so I've changed it back.

Thanks for sharing this article.

You're welcome, and thank you for your kind thoughts. We're safe and well, living in the middle of nowhere has it's advantages at times. :)

Another great Find-and-Share, @Rhiannon. I sincerely hope that you and yours remain healthy and safe as you scour all these Internets, looking for tasty treats to tell us about.

eFondly yours,

The link for cyber ghost under the "best for netflix ....." is wrong and does not work. I think because /content/ is in the link twice.

PotPlayer has removed software decoding of HEVC videos, and only supports hardware decoding as of this moment. To enable

Preferences --> Filter Control --> Video Decoder --> HEVC: click the three dots. This opens a video configuration window and under Available Video Decoders, at H265/HEVC, change it from "Built-in FFmpeg Decoder (Recommended)" to "FFmpeg64.dll"

Am using LAV filters as audio/video splitter for PotPlayer anyway. 

Thanx, rhiannon, I have contacted the author to see if he has any idea.

Great site, been using in for longer than I care to say!

I had great faith that perhaps this utility could fix what Microsoft's agents have failed to do. I've been unable to update a PC at my church for a couple of years since it last installed a Windows Update. After repeated chat sessions to Microsoft and allowing the agents access which all failed to correct the problem when they tired something that broke their connection. They weren't able to reconnect and left me hanging proving even MS has no idea of how to fix what they broke. I have no other option but to wipe the drive and and reinstall another copy of clugy Windows10 from scratch.

Unfortunately, after downloading it and running it successfully, when I tried to check for updates, it still fails. Even Firefox couldn't update - I had to find and install the complete Firefox 48Mb download to update it but at least that was successful.

Hmmmm I don't know what to make of that. Did you run the program with elevated privileges?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't diagnose errors or issues.
It re-registers files that are part of Windows Update.
There's no log needed, since it does one thing, and one thing only - it re-registers the same fixed set of files every time it's run.
A log would tell you that the 114 files were re-registered. It's the equivalent of the message that pop ups when the files are re-registered that the process was successful.
To the best of my knowledge, re-registering the files doesn't cause an issue if the files hadn't become un-registered.

You can contact the developer and ask for a list of the 114 files that get re-registered and find out more here:

It looks like Seagate has taken down the Pixel8 site and it now resolves to the Seagate site. No free software there that I can see either. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Does this Fix WU Utility let you know what problems exist prior to fixing?
Is a LOG made of changes by this program?

How does this compare with the Registry Cleaner in CCleaner FREE?

What is going on with TechSupportAlert? It used to be the very best resource for checking out different freeware offerings but these days all the reviews I go to are years out of date. Not sure that you'd remember me Ian but my name is Jim and I live in Australia. You and I used to occasionally converse via email, back in the day when your good self and Clif Sipe (aka Clif Notes) were the freeware gurus. Many years ago.

It's a shame to see what was once such a valuable resource go so far downhill.

I like that one, thanks! I've got explore.org to add and I'll include this one with it. :)

Hmmmm that's a very good question.
If I understand it correctly, the files that get re-registered are system files - .ocx files are ActiveX files and .dll files are Dynamic Link Library files and are usually found in the Windows directory. They are registered/unregistered using Regsvr32.exe via the command line.
The Registry is a database that stores data related to configuration settings, software and preferences and is accessed via the regedit command. I used both trying to fix the issue I had.

I don't know enough to be sure if the files that are re-registered using Fix WU make any changes to registry keys related to Windows Update.
Some of the sites I checked to get an overview of Fix WU mentioned that it didn't make changes in the registry but didn't give a basis for the statement.
If anyone knows more about this please feel free to add some clarity. In the meanwhile, I've removed the line until more is known. :)

In two immediately adjacent sentences you write
"Fix WU was designed to repair many Windows Update issues by re-registering a total of 114 .dll, ocx and .ax files that Windows Update needs to function properly"
and
"Fix WU doesn’t make any changes to the Windows Registry".

I am more than confused. I - maybe falsely - think that "registering files" actually is making entries in the Windows Registry?

Remember in Firefox if you have chosen "Never Remember History" the option for Private browsing disappears and displays the message "Firefox will use the same settings as private browsing, and will not remember any history as you browse the Web." I'm using Win 10 and Firefox 74.o

As of the versions lately I can use T-bird for Yahoo, Outlook.com and GNail with NO problems.
Of course must use IMAP but not a problem at all.

You're so welcome. Using an add-on like uBlock Origin or Ghostery takes care of most tracking,
I also use an add-on/extension called Decentraleyes and another called ClearURLs as another layer, available on Chrome & Firefox.
Zemana is the only key logger blocker I know of, though there are probably more. It used to be free, now it's paid software.

At this point, most anti-virus/security programs will detect and block keyloggers. I don't know if they block the keyloggers that some corporations use to track what their employees are typing, though at that level security is probably handled by IT staff.
I use Social Fixer on Facebook.

Please note there have recently been problems with hackers accessing Zoom sessions. It is important to set passwords for sessions with Zoom:

I'm thinking most of these are geared towards the USA. If you have a VPN you should be able to access them. I've updated the article, thanks for letting me know.

Going above and beyond, now that's tech support. Good on ya Gizmo and team.

That's a great selection rhiannon. Well done & thank you.

It doesn't work on any of these.

I have Windows 10 Pro on my laptop and am not given the options above when clicking on properties, the field with the in private add on is not editable. Any other suggestions. Thanks.

This software has recently started nagging me to upgrade. Had weeks of it over the New Year, and now it's at it again. During a pandemic. Grrr!

Good one! I think it will be good if you add more video streaming platform.
I would like to introduce New video streaming platform Mobiotics

I like Zoho products, I've used some of them for many years. Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know they had an remote assistance program that works cross platform, I'll have a look at it. :)

You're very welcome. :)

really like this one thank you, Rhiannon
