Microsoft Edge Chromium Error Crash Error Code STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH

I updated my Edge Browser to Edge Chromium Version 81.0.416.68. Starting the browser it did not show any websites, the tab only showed "Error Code STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH.

How-I-fixed-it:
Found out, that Symantec Endpoint Protection caused the Renderer to throw this error (had a similar issue with Goolge Chrome before).

I created a Registry Key as described here to disable the RendererCodeIntegrityEnabled:

Visual Studio UWP Deployment Error DEP0700 because of staged packages

Developing UWP apps with Visual Studio  I sometimes run into a problem to debug/deploy the app on the local machine getting the error code DEP0700.

One reason I found out causing this are "staged" packages. This happens, if the same app package is installed by another user account or installed from Visual Studio but reset from Windows App Settings.

How-I-fixed-It:

1. Get psexec tool from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
2. Run psexec -s powershell -c "get-appxpackage | remove-appxpackage" within a admin commandline box

Hyper-V-Installation breaks NCP/Lancom Advanced VPN Client by adding Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch

I installed Hyper-V on my Windows 10 laptop and after that, my LANCOM Advanced VPN Client was not able to communicate with my company network any more.
I took very long to connect to the VPN router and even after the connection was established (green), no communication with computers in the company network was possible.

How-i-fixed-it:
I found out, that Hyper-V setup added couple of virtual network adaptors "vEthernet" to the network settings and a Network bridge device.
The existing network adaptors got added a new device to use "Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch" instead of their standard IP settings. It looks to me as this breaks the LANCOM VPN Client Ethernet adaptor.
I went to the settings of the LANCOM Ethernet Adaptor in the network settings and unchecked the "Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch". It automatically checked the standard Elements like IPv6, IPv4 and others.
Doing so, the VPN connection was established as fast as before and i was able to communicate over the tunnel without issues.

Lancom Advanced VPN Client NCP driver error / licence error under Windows 10

My Lancom Advanced VPN Client Version 3.0 showed an "NCP driver error" under Windows 10.
I downgraded to 8.1 and it worked OK again.

I then found on the LANCOM support page, i have to wait for version 3.02 which will work with Windows 10.

After the release of 3.02 i upgraded my VPN client software and then upgraded to Windows 10 again.
Unfortunately, under Windows 10, the software kept compaining about being not activated or an invalid licene.

How-I-fixed-it:
I did a profile backup, deactivated and uninstalled the software and did a fresh install.

To avoid problems with Lancom Advanced VPN client at Operating System upgrades, follow the steps described here: https://www.lancom-systems.de/en/service-support/instant-help/common-support-tips/

Windows Phone 8.1 does not upload / sync camera roll photos to OneDrive

Recently my Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8.1 stopped uploading photos to OneDrive.
Searching the web i found out, that this happens to all photos taken with "Auto Upload" being turned off!
I had "Auto Upload" turned of to save some high speed volume. Even after turing it on again, the photos i took while i was turned of did not sync to OneDrive automatically.

How-I-fixed-it:
There's a very usefull app called "Camera Roll Sync" in the Windows AppStore which allows to sync the photos manually.
Here's the AppStore URL: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/store/app/camera-roll-sync/5b7e86ad-32f7-47f5-95a0-eda5ef0abb31

Fritz!Box 7330, Fritz!OS Online-Zähler / Online-Counter does not work because Fritz!Box does not have the a correct time over UMTS / 3G

As a backup for my Internet Connection, I have a 3G UMTS USB-Stick connected to my Fritz!Box 7330. Since my plan has only 5GB high Speed volume included, i wanted to use the built in "Online-Zähler" (Online-Counter). But on the corresponding page in Fritz!OS 6.21 UI the box told me, the counter does not work without the current time known to the box. Usually the box gets the time when connected to the internet. For some (unknown) reason, this did not work on my Box over 3G/UMTS.

How-I-fixed-it:
I sent an E-Mail to AVM support and they told me how to manually set the time on the Fritz!Box using a phone connected on the FON port or via DECT:

http://avm.de/nc/service/fritzbox/fritzbox-7330/wissensdatenbank/publication/show/189_Fehlermeldung-FRITZ-Box-verfuegt-ueber-keine-gueltige-Uhrzeit/

The support document is in German. The key fact in English Translation:

 On the phone, dial #83*[HHmmTTMMJJJJ]* replacing the HHmmTTMMJJJJ with the current time and date. Hang up after 3 seconds.

In German:
Online-Zähler in Fritz!OS 6.21 auf Fritz!Box 7330 funktioniert nicht aufgrund der Fehlermeldung "FRITZ!Box verfügt über keine gültige Uhrzeit"

Outlook 2013 does note sync contact birthday to outlook.com for contacts copied from contact folder

I wanted to switch my contact management from OpenXChange/Outlook to Outlook.com/Outlook.  I'm using Outlook 2013 (15.0.4615.1000) on Windows 8.


I followed the steps described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844991/en-us and copied all contacts from local Outlook folder to the contact folder of my outlook.com account.


I turned out, that the contacts were synced, but the birthday date for all of them was gone. Even manually entering the date in Outlook did not fix it.


How-I-fixed-it:
- Export all contacts to a csv-file from Outlook
- Manually import the contacts from the csv-file in outlook.com


Cannot delete TCP/IP printer port because "The requested resource is in use", "Die angeforderte Ressource wird bereits verwendet" in Windows 8

I uninstalled a network printer under Windows 8, but the TCP/IP printer port was still in the list of printer ports. I tried to manually delete it form the ports list, but i got the error message "The requested resource is in use" (In german: "Die angeforderte Ressource wird bereits verwendet"). Reboot did not help.

How-I-fixed-it:
I found the right hints here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/245c20bd-b6e1-4932-b91b-84fbd9767b41/can-not-delete-tcpip-printer-port-when-deleting-the-printer-on-windows-2008-server?forum=winserverprint

1. Open the registry Editor "regedit.exe"
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
3. Is the Printer deleted recently still listed there? If yes, delete the according entry in the registry
4. Restart the Spooler Service
5. Delete the TCP/IP Printer port.

P.S.
I did this, because our Network admin changed the hostname of a HP Color LaserJet 4650dn Printer and i had to re-install it on my computer.

Windows 8 auffrischen nicht möglich, weil Dateien fehlen / Windows 8 refresh fails because of missing files / Install Windows 8 with Product key only

A friend's Laptop went Kind of crazy, Adobe Flash was crashing all the time ("Shockwave Flash ist möglicherweise beschäftigt oder reagiert nicht mehr") and Skype refused to logon. I decided to do a "Windows refresh", but this failed because "some files are missing". We did not have an Windows DVD by hand, but we found a way to get it done.

How I fixed it:
You Need your Windows 8 Product Key for this!
Go to: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

Choose the desired vesion of Windows 8 / 8.1, download and start the installation. This will refresh your system. After the Installation there will be many, many updates (106 for me) to apply!

WOW Slider image slideshow shows only gray background, animation does not start over, manual editing of css and HTML files

Today i run into the problem that my image slideshow created with WOW Slider showed a gray background after the last Image and it took very look until the slideshow started again at the beginning.

How-I-fixed-it:
I turned out, that I caused the problem by manually editing the css and js files created by WOWSlider. The files have to exactly fit to the number of images defined in the

part of the html file, because the timing of the whole slideshow is calculated by WOW Slider at the time creating the files. If the number of
• entries in the
  part of the html-file is changed afterward, it does no longer match the number of keyframes defined in the css Stylesheet.

Example:
For 5 Images in the slideshow, WOW Slider created 10 keyframes in the stylesheet:

@keyframes wsBasic{0%{left:-0%} 14.59%{left:-0%} 20%{left:-100%} 34.59%{left:-100%} 40%{left:-200%} 54.59%{left:-200%} 60%{left:-300%} 74.59%{left:-300%} 80%{left:-400%} 94.59%{left:-400%} }

With this code in the html I was able to reproduce the problem;

<div id="wowslider-container1">

<div class="ws_images"><ul>

<li><img src="data1/images/wp_20140309_20_46_38_pro.jpg" alt="WP_20140309_20_46_38_Pro" title="WP_20140309_20_46_38_Pro" id="wows1_0"/></li>

<li><img src="data1/images/wp_20140329_16_21_24_pro.jpg" alt="WP_20140329_16_21_24_Pro" title="WP_20140329_16_21_24_Pro" id="wows1_1"/></li>

<li><img src="data1/images/wp_20140329_16_21_54_pro.jpg" alt="WP_20140329_16_21_54_Pro" title="WP_20140329_16_21_54_Pro" id="wows1_2"/></li>

<li><img src="data1/images/wp_20140329_16_23_04_pro.jpg" alt="WP_20140329_16_23_04_Pro" title="WP_20140329_16_23_04_Pro" id="wows1_3"/></li>





  </ul></div>

 When manually editing the WOW Slider HTML code, be sure, the number of images is not changed!

Vodafone EasyBox 803 forgets WLAN/WiFi key / Clients can't connect any more / Preset, Default WLAN key is not accepted

On an friend's EasyBox 803 I run into the following problem:
The WiFi was running fine for Ages, but some day he called me because the Client Computers did not connect to WiFi any more. Rebooting EasyBox and Clients did not help.

How-I-fixed-it:
I connect my Computer to the EasyBox using a LAN cable and opened the WebInterface by typing http://easy.box into my browser address bar. Login using your credentials (or the standard ones "root","123456").
Select "WLAN" in the left side menu and change the WLAN key to a new one. Save the data. Enter the new key in the client computers WiFi Connection settings. This fixed it for me.

As a side note:
I then tried to set the WLAN key back to the one printed on the backside of the router. But it did not let me set it to this value because it is not allowed to set it back to the default value once it was set to a different value. So i had to stay with the new key.

Windows store does not show 8.1 upgrade / Cannot install because of missing admin priviliges / Administrator-Rechte Fehlermeldung

I tried to upgrade my sisters' brand new Dell laptop to Windows 8.1.
Doing that, i run into two problems:
1. Even after installing all Windows 8 updates, Windows store did not show me the 8.1 upgrade.

How-I-fixed-it:
I had to switch  to start screen and type "wsreset". Right click on the search result and select "Run as Administrator".

Having done that, I rebootet the system and the upgrade was shown.

2. I started the 8.1 upgrade, but there was a message telling me, I have to logon with admin priviliges to perform the upgrade. But i was logged on as the one and only Administrator on the machine.
In German:
Sie benötigen ein Konto mit Admin-Rechten um Win 8.1 zu installieren..Melden Sie sich mit Admin-Konto erneut an und versuchen sie es erneut

How-I-fixed-it:

After installation and a reboot, i succesfully ugraded to Windows 8.1

My Dell PC/Computer/Laptop/Tablet is marked as shipped, but UPS tracking link does not find the shipment/parcel

I ordered a new tablet computer from Dell two weeks ago. The estimated date of delivery is in a few days.
I was surprised that the device was marked as shipped in the order status hompage after one week (by that time, the estimated delivery date was two weeks away). The order Status page showed a UPS tracking link, but UPS Homepage returned, they cannot find the shipment with this tracking number.
I testing the tracking link every day and after 5 days I sent an EMail to Dell asking them, why it does not work.

How-I-fixed-it:
Well, i did not really fix it, but I now know, what makes the order status page so confusing. After the device is ready for UPS to be picked up at the Dell site, it's marked as shipped and the tracking link is created. While the device is on the way to Europe, UPS tracking link does not find the parcel number. In case it's on a ship, this can last for a week or even longer.
UPS tracking starts to work when the shipment is scanned in Europe for the first time, which, in my case, was 3 days before the formerly estimated date of delivery. So the shipment is on time and the estimated date of delivery at the time of order was fine.
