There are two methods by which you can check the Power Output of USB Ports on Windows 10: By Device Manager By Third-Party application Let us talk about them in detail. Using Device Manager With the help of Device Manager, you can check the Power Output of USB Ports on Windows 10. To do that launch Device Manager by Win + X > Device Manager. Expand Universal Serial Bus controller, right-click on “USB Root Hub” or “Generic USB Hub”, and click Properties. Go to the Details tab and from the Property section select Power data. Now, you can see the Power Output of your USB Port from there. You will see something like “D0”. The higher the number, the lower the Power Output of your USB Device. For example, in this screenshot, the “Current power state” is D2, which is somewhere in the middle. Using Third-Party application If you want to know the exact Power Output rating in Ampere then go for USBDeview, a third-party application to manage your USB devices. You need to download and install the application. Launch USBDeview and see your USB Port’s Power Output from the Power section. You may want to use the horizontal slider to reach the Power option. This can be a bit frustrating if you are checking Power Outputs of multiple ports, so, you can either drag the Power option or double-click on a specific port to know its Power Output. Hopefully, we have helped you to check the Power Output of USB Ports on Windows 10.

According to Microsoft, your data is collected in order to personalize your experience and if you don’t want to do that, you can disable certain settings from the Settings app to stop Microsoft from tracking you. You may or may not want to disable all of them, as some of them are useful for you. These are the things we are going to do to stop Microsoft from tracking you. Disable Personalize ads Disable Diagnostic & Feedback Disable Activity History Disable Location Tracking Disable Microphone and Camera Stop Contributing your Voice Clip Let us talk about them in detail. 1] Disable Personalize ads The first and foremost thing you need to do to stop Microsoft from tracking you is disabling Personalize ads. This you can do by launching Settings > Privacy and disabling required toggles. You can disable all the toggles if you want, but if you just want to disable Personalize ads, disable the toggle of “Let apps use advertising ID to make ads more interesting to you based on your app activity (Turning this off will reset your ID). This will not disable ads but the ads won’t be based on your data. So, your privacy will be secured. 2] Disable Diagnostic & Feedback Microsoft tends to take your data in order to make the components of Windows better. The sad part is, you can not disable this feature completely, but there are some things you can do to improve your privacy. So, open Settings and click Privacy > Diagnostics & feedback. Now, to know more about this policy, click “Get more info about these settings” from the Diagnostic data section. Select “Required diagnostic data” to only give Microsoft, information about your device and its settings, which won’t completely stop Microsoft from spying on you but it is the best we can do. You can even check diagnostic data, to know what information of you Microsoft has. To do that, just click Open Diagnostic Data Viewer from “View diagnostic data” or wipe it entirely by clicking on the Delete icon from the “Delete diagnostic data” section. 3] Disable Activity History Another feature that can be a bit of a concern if you want to ensure privacy is Activity History. “Activity History” is used by Microsoft to help you to jump back into what you were doing if you log in to some other device. So, if you want to stop Microsoft from tracking you, untick the “Send my activity history to Microsoft” option from Settings > Privacy >Activity History. 4] Disable Location Tracking If you want to go complete anonymous, disabling Location in Settings can help. The easiest way to disable Location is by Action Center, just click on the Notification icon from the Taskbar and disable Location. If you are not seeing the option there, launch Settings, click Privacy > Location > Change and use the toggle to disable it. 5] Disable Microphone and Camera Many companies are found doing shady stuff by accessing the Camera and Microphones of a user without their consent. Therefore, you should always keep your Camera and Microphone and disabled and only enable them when needed. To disable Camera, open Settings, click Privacy > Camera > Change, and use the toggle to disable it. To disable Microphone, open Settings, click Privacy > Microphone > Change and use the toggle to disable it. Read: Free tools to tweak Windows 10 Privacy settings. 6] Stop Contributing your Voice Clip Microsoft tends to take your Voice Clip in order to improve its Voice Assistant. This is not shady as Microsoft clearly mentions that it is doing this. However, if you don’t use Microsoft’s Voice Assistant Cortana or just don’t want to give your Voice Clip, disable this option. To do that, launch Settings and click Privacy > Speech > Stop contributing my voice clip. Hopefully, we have helped you to stop Microsoft from tracking you.

Ideally, the policies surrounding the PIN can be set by an organization managed through a server. If your system is connected to an organization’s network, only the IT administrator can make the desired changed to the policy. However, this issue is being faced by home users using the Windows 10 home version without any connection to any organization’s network. This is the case with most of the users reporting the issue. The reason is that Microsoft counts school networks as organization. To resolve the error “This device doesn’t meet your organization’s requirements for Windows Hello,” please try the following solutions sequentially: Remove School account from the Windows Mail app Delete school accounts from the system’s Account settings 1] Remove School account from the Windows Mail app Even if a user adds his school’s email ID to the Windows Mail app and reboots the system, the system will fall under the policies of the school’s server. In this case, simply disconnecting your school account as follows will help. Open the Windows Mail app. Right-click on your school account and select Account settings. Click on Remove this account from the device. 2] Delete school accounts from the system’s Account settings In case you have added your school account through the Account settings page, you would have to remove it from the same menu. Click on the Start button and go to Settings >> Accounts >> Access work or school. Click on your school account once and then select Manage. Select Remove this account from the device. Now, go to the tab Email & accounts. Make sure your Administrator account is added and the PIN is of your choice. Then restart the system

What could this mean, then? Well, we believe it means the internet connection between the Xbox video game console and the other members of the party chat is failing. We understand this usually happens due to incompatibilities with Network Address Translation (NAT) types. So, what are the ways for users to solve this problem in order for them to return to speaking with others in Party Chat? We have a few ideas that are known to work. Check your NAT type Check if you’re getting these errors NAT Type: Unavailable Double NAT detected Let us discuss how to solve this issue from a more detailed perspective. 1] Check your NAT type The first thing you will want to do in this situation is to check your NAT type. Press the Xbox button on the controller, then go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings. Now, under the section that reads, Current Network Status, please click on NAT Type 2] Check if you’re getting these errors If after looking at your NAT type you begin to come across the following errors, it is time to do some troubleshooting. NAT Type: Unavailable (displayed under Current Network Status on the Network screen) Can’t get a Teredo IP address (displayed after running Test multiplayer connection on the Network screen) Double NAT detected 3] NAT Type: Unavailable In a case where you might be seeing NAT Type: Unavailable, the best option to take here is to jump into your router settings. You see, we’ve come to understand that this error pops in most cases because Teredo cannot get an IP address. For those who are wondering, “Teredo is a networking protocol that’s used to establish secure communications between clients and servers, and to facilitate secure network connectivity between devices behind routers that use network address translation (NAT),” according to Microsoft. In order to fix this problem, you are required to locate the IPv6 settings in your router, then search for the following: Allow Teredo tunneling Allow IPv6 tunneling Should you come across any of the options above, we want you to make sure they are enabled. We do not have an image to show because the router used for this test does not support Teredo tunneling or IPv6 tunneling. 4] Double NAT detected If your home network uses a router and a gateway, then this option could very well be the one to fix the issue. The idea is to put your gateway into bridge mode if both your router and gateway are performing NAT. If this is the case, they will generate a double NAT, and this can cause difficulties in joining party chats. Chances are, you may have to have a look at your device documentation in order to learn how to remove double NAT and error 0x89231806. Finally, return to the Xbox menu and navigate to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings > Test NAT Type. If it shows that your NAT type is Open, then you’re on the right track.

So, is it possible to change the background or theme of a Plan? Yes, it is possible, and we’re going to discuss how to do it with this article. Now, bear in mind that Microsoft Planner is not a tool you can download onto your Windows 10 computer.

The following signs indicate that your computer’s RAM needs attention: Decreasing performance. Random restarts. Frequent BSOD errors. The computer displays incorrect RAM. Video Card fails to load. 1] Decreasing performance Decreasing system performance is one of the most common faulty RAM symptoms. If you find that your computer runs perfectly when you first power it ON but with time, it becomes slower, you may have faulty RAM. But, there are other factors too that affect the performance of a system, like a misbehaving program, running multiple heavy software that require more RAM, etc. So, how can you identify whether your RAM is healthy or not? If most of the apps or software installed on your computer crash frequently or take more time to load, you may have faulty RAM. In addition to this, you will also experience some other issues. 2] Random restarts When your computer restarts randomly without any warning message, your RAM may be faulty. However, the computer also restarts randomly when the hard drive is damaged. But if you know that your hard drive is healthy and your computer is restarting frequently, especially after your desktop is initialized, it is a sign of bad RAM. 3] Frequent BSOD errors A BSOD error occurs due to a corrupted software or faulty hardware. Therefore, it is not always an indication of bad RAM. Let’s understand it with an example. When you get a BSOD error every time you launch a particular software, it is likely that the software is triggering the error rather than hardware. But if you notice that your system crashes too often, especially when you try to install a new app or software, your RAM may be damaged. 4] The amount of RAM is displayed incorrectly One of the symptoms of RAM failure is the system displays less RAM than it actually has. You can easily check how much RAM is installed on your system, but the process may differ for different Windows versions. In the case of faulty RAM, your system will display less memory than it actually has. 5] Video Card fails to load You might have heard a beep sound when turning your computer ON. A single beep sound on starting a computer indicates that it has recognized the Video card successfully. But if your computer fails to load the Video card, you will not hear such a beep sound. You will also get a warning message in this case. The cause for this issue is either a defective system’s RAM or Video Card. Read: Windows Memory Dump Settings on Windows 10. How to check if RAM is faulty? If you experience the above problems, your system’s RAM may have malfunctioned. But nothing can be said without a proper diagnosis. The following methods will help you diagnose the problem: Clean the RAM and insert it again. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. 1] Clean the RAM and re-insert it A dirty or corroded RAM also causes many errors in a computer. Hence, if your system is showing the signs of bad RAM, the first step that you should take is to remove it from the slot and see whether it is dirty or not. If you find it dirty or corroded, clean it. You can use isopropyl alcohol to remove the corrosion.

The message clearly says that a required Windows Service could not be started. Here are the areas you need to take a look at: Check Windows Defender service status. Edit value of WinDefend key in the Registry Editor. Re-register Windows Defender DLL files. Reset Microsoft Defender settings to default. Let’s explore the above methods in a bit of detail! 1] Check Windows Defender service status The Windows Defender Firewall service helps to protect your computer by stopping any unauthorized users from getting access to it via the Internet or other networks. However, at times, it can behave oddly and throw up errors like 0x800700aa. To fix it, run services.msc (the Services Manager) and make sure the following Services show the given status: Windows Defender Firewall – Automatic | Started Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection – Manual Microsoft Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service – Manual Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service – Manual. Related: The Service Couldn’t Be Started, Error 0x80070422 in Windows Defender. 2] Edit value of WinDefend key in the Registry Editor If the above method fails to work, you can try the registry hack. It requires you to edit the Value data entry for the WinDefend key by taking its full ownership. Please note, making changes to the Registry Editor incorrectly can have serious consequences. System-wide problems may occur and require you to reinstall Windows to correct them. So create a System Restore point first. 1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put Regedt32.exe in Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor. 2. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend 3. Firstly, take full ownership of WinDefend key. After taking ownership, in the right pane of this location, look for the DWORD named Start. Since you’re facing the issue, it must be having its Value data as 4 and by default, its Value data should remain 2. Differences in the Value data resulted in this happening. So in order to fix it, double click on the same DWORD to get this: 4. In the above box, replace the Value data from 4 to 2. Click OK. You may close the Registry Editor now and try to enable Windows Defender protection. It should work fine by now. 3] Re-register Windows Defender DLL files In Windows operating systems, when you run a program much of its functionality may be provided by DLLs. This event creates a dependency. So, If there’s some program that overwrites or breaks this dependency, the original program may not successfully run. The same can be the case with the Windows Defender service. To fix it, you’ll need to re-register the Windows Defender DLL files. Open an elevated Command Prompt window, type the following commands, and hit Enter one after the other: regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 softpub.dll regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 initpki.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wuweb.dll regsvr32 atl.dll regsvr32 mssip32.dll Hereafter, when the Windows Defender starts automatically or manually, you should not see the error message with the code 0x800700aa.

Open Microsoft Excel. Use an existing table or create one. In the cell where you want to place the result type =MID(A3,4,2). A3 is the string containing the characters you want to extract. 4 is the position of the first character you want to extract. 2 is the number of characters you want MID to return from the text.

A Functions Arguments dialog box will appear. Follow steps of the Functions Arguments in method one. Read: How to create a Combination Chart in Excel. How to use the MIDB functionin Excel Enter into the cell where you want to enter the result =MIDB(A3,4,5). You will notice that the MIDB function will give you the same result as the MID function. The MIDB function will only count each double-byte character by two; if you enable the editing of a language that supports DBCS and set it as the default language. The language that supports DBCS includes Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Therefore, if no language supports DBCS, MIDB will count each character like the MID function. We hope this tutorial helps you understand how to use the MID and MIDB function in Excel.

VirtualBox has four options when it comes to sharing the files between the host computer and the VM. Let’s see the function of each one: Disable: This option disables the file transfer between VM and host machine. Host to Guest and Guest to Host: These two options enable one-way file sharing. Bidirectional: This option enables the two-way file sharing feature, i.e., from VM to host machine and vice versa. By default, the Virtual Machine is set to disable. You have to change this setting to bidirectional. The following steps will help you do this. Launch VirtualBox and select the operating system for which you want to enable the bidirectional file transfer option. Click on the ‘Settings‘ button. A new window will open. Select ‘General‘ on the left side. Under the ‘Advanced‘ tab, select ‘Bidirectional‘ from the drop-down menu in Shared Clipboard and Drag n Drop options. Click OK to save the settings. Read: VirtualBox USB not detected. Now, launch the Virtual Machine and check whether the copy and paste or drag n drop feature is working or not. If you are not able to transfer the files between the Virtual Machine and the host computer, you have to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Follow the below-listed steps: In the Virtual Machine, go to ‘Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image.’ Open the File Explorer in VM and go to This PC. Open ‘CD Drive (D): VirtualBox Guest Additions.’ You will find three installation files. First, try to install ‘VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.’ If this Guest Addition does not install on your computer, try installing another one. The installation of the Guest Additions depends on the architecture of the host computer. After the installation gets completed, reboot the Virtual Machine and check whether you are able to transfer the files bidirectionally or not. In my case, the copy and paste was working only for the text and not for file transfer. But, I was able to transfer the files by the drag n drop method. Hope this article helped you.
