In the plethora of new features and improvements in Windows 10 October 20180 Update (aka v1809) here’s one that comes with Task Manager.
You can now view the power usage for each app and also it’s trend.
To do so, follow this steps:
With Windows 10 October 2018 Update (aka v1809), introduced a new way for device drivers to work with the Universal Windows Drivers architecture.
One of the major differences with the new architecture is that streamlines the work for drivers developers which can create a single driver package that can run across different device types, for example, the sam package can run in desktops, laptops or embedded systems.
In this transition, Intel is already making available new drivers called Windows DCH Drivers or Windows Modern Drivers and they’re meant to take use of the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and replace the old/legacy drivers.
This is particularly important since the future Windows Core OS will not support Win32 applications natively (they will run in some kind of virtual sandbox).
So, if you want to try the new drivers, follow this steps:
And you’re done, and the new DCH drivers are installed.
If you wan to make sure, just go to Device Manager again and verify that your display adapter driver version is higher than 25.20.100.6444.
Here’s a quick tip for everyone that uses Microsoft Access with dBase queries and it’s getting the error “Could not find installable ISAM” after upgrading to Access 2016.
To solve this you need to install 2 hotfixes for Access 2016:
KB4018338 (Microsoft Catalog)
KB4011143 (Microsoft Catalog)
After installing both updates, restart the machine and you’re done!
Following other Microsoft products, Visual Studio Community it’s all about downloading just what you need to use.
Although this is great for end users, not so good if you’re a sysadmin that need to create installation packages.
So, today for Microsoft Visual Studio Community, here’s what you’ll need to do:
The above command will download ALL the “layouts”, but you may want do download only the necessary files to install for .NET development. So you should take a look at the link below to select just want you want to download/install:

As some of you may know, unfortunately isn’t possible to install Wireshark silently with WinPcap.
Well, at least, isn’t possible to do it, just using the Wireshark package alone, although you can install it if you’re running the “normal” user interface.
If you need to create a package to install Wireshark and WinPcap, follow these steps:
Just a little more info.
To install Wireshark silently:
/S runs the installer or uninstaller silently with default values. The silent installer will not install WinPCap.
/desktopicon installation of the desktop icon, =yes - force installation, =no - don’t install, otherwise use default settings. This option can be useful for a silent installer.
/quicklaunchicon installation of the quick launch icon, =yes - force installation, =no - don’t install, otherwise use default settings.
/D sets the default installation directory ($INSTDIR), overriding InstallDir and InstallDirRegKey. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes even if the path contains spaces.
/NCRC disables the CRC check. We recommend against using this flag.To install WinPcap silently:
/S runs the installer in silent modeAnd…that’s it!
So it seams Windows Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 10 v1809 are only available through “Features on Demand” directly.
There will be probably a way to download them and install them offline but for the time being here’s the official way to do it:
If you’d like to do it the “geek way” or need a more unattended procedure here’s how:
Here’s the capabilities names you can add:
Hope you enjoy it!
Although it’s easy to blame on Microsoft, maybe the reason why YouTube works so bad using Edge or Firefox isn’t so obvious like “Chrome it’s a better browser”.
In a nice article from WindowsCentral, Daniel Rubino comes with a plausible explanation including quotes from Chris Peterson (technical program manager at Mozilla) and Kyle Pflug from Microsoft.
