You may try Update pen firmware on Surface Hub. If that doesn't help, then as I remarked previously, Microsoft thought that only two modes exist : Text and Draw. You'll need to workaround that with tricks like using right-click menu just to select an object.

See also TabTip.exe: What Is It & How to Disable It methods 1-4. I think you already did some of it.

(1) In gpedit.msc, try disabling "Allow Windows Ink Workspace" in Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Ink Workspace. (2) ` DISM /Remove-Capability /online /CapabilityName:Language.Handwriting~~~en-us~0.0.1.0` or similar.

For disabling handwriting try these methods.

At least as can be seen for OneNote, Microsoft thought that only two modes exist : Text and Draw. You might need non-Microsoft drivers, and for that it's important to fully identify the pen. Try to search it in its properties in Device Manager.

I have sometimes used the trick of doing a right-click on an object just in order to select it, when selecting via touch is difficult. Does that help?

harrymc

Does the pen have a side button? The pen buttons are used in several gestures - link.

You're welcome, and good luck.

The problem is probably related to your outdated hardware and lack of a good driver. I don't see a solution in such a case.

harrymc

Apr 2, 2024 17:11

You don't need HP to get Intel drivers. See List of Drivers for Intel Graphics (search for "4000") and also How To Find a Previous Version of an Intel Graphics Driver. Which Windows version?

harrymc

Apr 2, 2024 17:11

Your laptop may be one where the dGPU is passing through the iGPU to issue its graphics. The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is supposed to support 3 monitors, but sometimes this fails because of a faulty driver. I have seen posts where downgrading to an earlier version of the driver has helped. You might also try to contact HP Support.

harrymc

Apr 2, 2024 17:11

Try to disable the iGPU in Device Manager and reboot. Check that it stays disabled, then test the 3 monitors. The dGPU should be able to do all three.

harrymc

Apr 2, 2024 17:11

Might be an unacknowledged problem with the Windows driver. To narrow the field, try perhaps in the BIOS/UEFI to disable the iGPU / dGPU to see which one has the problem.

(1) Your links are old, (2) RAM is now much larger and files nowadays don't get written to the pagefile, (3) You can choose the disk for the pagefile to be a safe one. In short, I challenge your premises in choosing a dangerous and unnecessary solution. Relevant: superuser.com/questions/30345/…

I was just going to point you to a similar PowerShell script - Reset-WindowsUpdate.ps1. This script is more complete than any other single answer on our site.

@VioletGiraffe: The link is good, you need to click on "Check for Windows updates".

Do you mean WannaCry ? This is an old virus and well-known to antivirus products. Samba is unlikely to be infected, as the virus infects computers. In any case, this is a Windows virus that doesn't infect Linux/Mac machines.

Try to disable totally the router's firewall. It may block connections from its WAN port.

harrymc

Could you add a screenshot of the router's port-forwarding screen?

Run Process Explorer as Administrator and see the View menu.

If Adobe is injecting a .dll into explorer.exe, either find it using Process Explorer, or examine .dll files inside the Adobe folder.

Does this menu entry appear when booting in Safe mode? If not, then it's created by software that you still haven't found.

Search the registry for Adobe.Acrobat.ContextMenu or examine the registry keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers.

harrymc

Which Windows version? And do you want to remove only this Adobe entry, or all of them? Try ShellExView.

@user2233709: The OP does mention a router, but your understanding is as valid as mine.

harrymc

Dec 4, 2023 21:49

"connect another router to the PC is so that I can connect the computer and a VR headset with as low latency as possible" - this won't help with latency and will probably not work at all. You should work on getting the computer's connection to the modem to be as fast as possible, and certainly not through Wi-fi. And also speed up the connected hardware such as your mouse.

My remaining problem is that this seems to imply that WoL cannot work without static ARP, but this isn't published usually as a requirement.

You may need to try the latest driver as well as older drivers, in the hope that one will work.

This problem occurs in both Windows and Linux. Try to turn off Bluetooth in the computer.

Could you please add the exact details of your URL and resulting error message to your post.

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

Probably a typo, but your port-forward table has twice 192.168.1.9.

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

This is more complicated and sounds impossible at first sight : you're connecting to http://192.168.1.9:80 and end up instead in https://192.168.1.9:443. One possible explanation is that the browser is tricking you and switching the HTTP reference to HTTPS.

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

I mean inside the router. This being a Livebox 6, it's probably in the Network section, DHCP tab, under "Static DHCP leases". Although I don't know if the router would accept having two different IPs with the same MAC address. Do you have IIS and Apache running both on Windows at the same time?

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

So you're using the browser. I assume that you have allocated the IP addresses as static and the router knows about it?

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

I mean, are you using a browser and with what kinds of URL.

harrymc

Oct 10, 2023 12:15

To use the correct terminology, you probably have created port-forwarding rules in the router to ports 80/HTTP (IIS) and port 443/HTTPS (Apache). Please add details about how you're addressing the ports from the outside and what model is your router. A screenshot of your router's port-forwarding rules screen would help.

If you have an integrated GPU, you could in Device Manager disable that GPU (if you have two such).

You could alternatively try to turn Game Mode off and reboot.
