For the record I uploaded a photo (of a flower). The result was similar to the original, so not much improvement occurred. This finding was similar to Rhiannon's included in the review above - both photos look very similar !
I take it as a given that my personal information is income to someone, somewhere. I'd guess personal information is more readily accessible and used for profit if you use a smartphone with apps.
A site like this, where you upload images but there's no personal information or account creation needed to use their service probably collects minimal data. Likely they collect the same data almost every site collects when you visit; IP address, browser type and version, operating system, etc.
It’s all pretty standard stuff and in reality also pretty meaningless since anyone feeling aggrieved by a perceived breach of their privacy would have to spend more than most folks earn in a year just to launch an action. It’s all made worse by companies who may operate from one jurisdiction but be registered somewhere else with their servers in a third location. Suffice to say anything you post or upload to the net can and most likely will be used by some third party if they can see a way to make money out of it.
The website states "Uploaded images are stored securely and deleted as soon as processing has completed. They are not used or shared in any way". Can anyone find the Privacy Policy which people can read prior to uploading their photos ?
soundclouddownloader.org is the best website to download songs from SoundCloud its a free website and only 1 click to download the song even tho you can listen to the music online right on the page.

Used Jing screen capture tool for years. Beginning of 2020 the program mentioned it was retiring because Adobe Flash support was ending. Downloaded the TechSmith Capture program which also uses Screencast to upload and share images/videos. https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html
This is the only free screen capture tool I could find that allows business/commercial use. It comes in Windows and Mac versions so everyone on our team can use it.
Hey, this is good to read, but I have created a post about how to stop chrome notification in the mobile system and application. This might be advance details for everyone who needs to know about it. I assure you it will be worth reaching out to our blog

This looks like a GREAT app. You can easily multiboot any ISO, just copy them to a flash drive. The install looked much easier than easy2boot (which I never could get to work). Unfortunately it needs Linux kernel 5.4 to read the exFAT format where you put the ISOs. Sigh. So I guess I have to download the new Ubuntu just to do that!

Nowadays, most web browsers always warn users about dangerous websites by giving a notification, e.g., Not Safe, Dangerous Warning, Your Connection Is Not Private ... so on. These methods help users to know which websites are safe from visiting. But sometimes for testing purposes, you might want to turn off these warnings. Let's take a look at this guide!

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.
Thank you for that, I didn't think to try it with a separator after the day because that is not something I would normally use but it does fix the absence of separators in the other programs and utilities so I'll live with it.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Fix WU does one thing. It will re-register a total of 114 .dll, ocx and .ax files which are needed for the proper functioning of Windows Updates. That's it. That's all it does. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The utility isn't a registry cleaner and doesn't do the same thing CCleaner does.
There's no way to compare them that I can think of since they aren't the same class or category of software and don't do the same things.
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.

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.
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
That's wonderful, I hope it does the trick. If not and you're comfortable editing the registry there's an entry that sometimes gets corrupted. A search for Windows Update registry keys shoud bring up the specifics. I had both issues. I corrected the registry key and ran this utility and all is well. :)

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.
Thanks. :)
Yes there have been issues, and it's partly because people haven't set up their meetings so they are secure. I've added basic tips to the article and a link to Zoom's blog on how to make meetings safe.

I found the same thing. Windows doesn't give any options for editing the date formats.

Thank you for that, I didn't think to try it with a separator after the day because that is not something I would normally use but it does fix the absence of separators in the other programs and utilities so I'll live with it.

Windows 10 presents a host of new issues to deal with.
To clarify, are you saying that running this utility has caused Firefox to stop updating?
Have you checked in Services to make sure that Windows Update is enabled?

Thank you for the tip.
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. :)
Hi, all...

Ideas, suggestions, hats in the ring?
Thanx!
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?
How is this different from FixWin10 ? hxxps://xxx.thewindowsclub-dot-com/fixwin-for-windows-10
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 can't find any free software at all on here
I like that one, thanks! I've got explore.org to add and I'll include this one with it. :)
Visit places all over the Earth using LIVE Webcams ! https://www.earthcam.com/ I like sharing this one ;)
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. :)
That's fantastic! I'm so glad it's working again. :)
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?
Woo-Hoo !...
it worked !
Thanks rhiannon
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
That's wonderful, I hope it does the trick. If not and you're comfortable editing the registry there's an entry that sometimes gets corrupted. A search for Windows Update registry keys shoud bring up the specifics. I had both issues. I corrected the registry key and ran this utility and all is well. :)
Thanks rhiannon..
just what I needed.
My windows 7 update has been broken for almost two years now.
Hopefully, this will fix it !
Stay safe, stay well !
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.
Thanks Rhiannon for helping make our lives simpler and safer with your essential tips
Personal data mining and cookies are an ongoing scourge, and so any other tips including utilities that block keylogging, are appreciated !
Please note there have recently been problems with hackers accessing Zoom sessions. It is important to set passwords for sessions with Zoom:

Thanks. :)
Yes there have been issues, and it's partly because people haven't set up their meetings so they are secure. I've added basic tips to the article and a link to Zoom's blog on how to make meetings safe.
Thank you. :)
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.

Great Idea, just that some are Private videos and unavailable and all the others that I clicked on are unavailable in UK
Going above and beyond, now that's tech support. Good on ya Gizmo and team.
You're very welcome. :)
That's a great selection rhiannon. Well done & thank you.
