Windows 10 20H2 has finally reached its end. So it was time to prepare the new image for 21H2 for the MDT deployment. I followed the instruction to get the right image.wim file up and uploaded to MDT share, then created a new Task Sequence that will take the new image for deployment. But when I put it into the […]
I have an MDT setup working perfectly until lately when I am trying to deploy the system on a few new Lenovo computers I just purchased. The setup is just stuck at a blank Wizard.hta screen and doesn’t want to move forward. It’s stuck at the stage where the OS installation is just about to begin. The preliminary thought is […]
I have Ricoh network printers shared from Windows 2012 R2 Server on Windows 10 computers. All went well until recently some of them are shown as Printer Model Number instead. They are still working fine and are shown properly when printing in applications like Microsoft Word. It’s just annoying. On top of that, on some of the computers, I get […]
After following setting up WSUS for Windows 10 20H2 upgrade, the workstation updates actually failed with an error code 0xc1900223. The error code reveals nothing.

It has worked beautifully until recently I started upgrading them gradually to Windows 10. The ones graduated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 don’t reboot themselves anymore […]
With the end of life is approaching fast for Windows 7 systems, I racked up my nerve and set up a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) system lately to replace my ages-old ImageX imaging system for Windows 10 deployment, either new installations or upgrades from old Operating Systems like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Setting it up wasn’t too bad, especially […]
I used to think sound equalizer isn’t necessary for my music enjoyment. If I have a good pair of headphone or speakers I could get the most enjoyment out of it. Well, having a well-tuned sound EQ on top of that can make the music enjoyment even more. But since Windows 10 or any previous Windows version don’t have EQ […]
Installing .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows 8.1 and 10 is only through Programs and Features in Control Panel. But if the computer is configured to get the windows updates through WSUS, installing through Control Panel will most likely fail, no matter what else you try. There is a Group Policy setting that you can alter to bypass getting the updates through […]
