Compressing C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/27
Microsoft keeps more and more under C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases (also accessible via C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases or more precisely %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases).
This can be huge, running into 10s of gigabytes, which – for todays cloud, VM and light-weight device based world – is huge.
Compressing seems to fail for me consistently, as I get “access denied” while compressing when elevating from Windows Explorer.
So this is a reminder to sort this out eventually.
These did not help yet:
- compress “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ClickToRun” – Google Search
- [WayBack] Office 2016 Desktop Preview: how to remove Click-To-Run update – Microsoft Community
- compress” Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases” – Google Search
- compress “C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases” – Google Search
I don’t dare deleting it:
- [WayBack] Office Click to Run tidy up – get back wasted disk space – Office Watch
- [WayBack] Free up disk space after installing Office 2016 Click To Run
Hopefully it is something explainable like the a virus scanner.
Later
Yup: it was the Avira Virus Scanner.
Somehow it has the Windows Explorer UI cause an “Access Denied” message to appear when elevating, but you can still compress files fine in a subdirectory with these steps:
Given a subdirectory named
C:\SomeDir\Ado this:
pushd C:\SomeDir\Acompact /c /s *.*cd ..compact /c Apopd
It is not the first time I bump into Avira stuff (but I only blogged about it once, dumb me: VirusTotal: Avira marks a Delphi built executable als false positive), but the decision of using it was outside my control.

Exiting the Microsoft Narrator
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/24
The keyboard bindings for the Microsoft Narrator changed in Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and earlier.
Since the below support pages refuse to save in the WayBack machine and Archive.is, I copy-pasted some bits of them.

“net view” “System error 1231 has occurred.” “Windows 10”
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/09
On my research list: none of my Windows 10 PC’s in WORKGROUP can see that other machines exist, but they can connect to each other.
C:\>net view System error 1231 has occurred.c C:\>net view System error 6118 has occurred.
On Windows 8.1 and 7 (I know: both beyond end-of-support) can see both Windows 8.1/7 machines and Windows 10 machines:
C:\>net view Server Name Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \\... The command completed successfully.
It is unclear on which Windows 10 release this started failing. I think it is around 1803 (April 2018 Update) or 1709 (Fall Creators Update). It fails despite all settings indicating sharing and discovery are enabled:
Things tried that failed:
Start service WebClient
Tried from an administrative command prompt, then waited a minute:
C:\net start WebClient The WebClient service is starting. The WebClient service was started successfully.
Failed.

RDP logon while other user is logged on: no way to automate automatic disconnect/logoff
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/21
One of the dreaded things when logging on using RDP is that if another user is logged on, you have to first indicate you want to indeed logon (if you don’t, the RDP connection will close after some 15-30 seconds), then wait for their approval time-out before you can logon.
As of writing there is no way around this.
Some links that helped me conclude this:
- [WayBack] Force logoff on RDP connection – Networking
- [WayBack] Windows 7 – force existing user session to logoff, not disconnect, at log on – Super User

Non-rectangle select in Windows command line – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/16
Just discovered this has been possible since Windows 10 by holding the shift key while dragging with the mouse. After like 20 years of waiting, why did nobody warn me (:
Is there any way I can disable the stupid rectangle selection mode thing in the Windows command line? I want to select line by line like normal. Currently it’s a giant pain when I need to copy things
So this is a thing from the past: [WayBack] Non-rectangle select in Windows command line – Super User
And this was already possible (but then you had to drag the full width): [WayBack] windows – Select text across lines in cmd.exe? – Super User

Windows 7 Blue Screen Of Death with error 0x7B – twm’s blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/09/28
[WayBack] Windows 7 Blue Screen Of Death with error 0x7B – twm’s blog:
To allow Windows 7 to boot in IDE as well as AHCI mode, I had to enable the following drivers (by setting “Start” to “0” in the registry, there might be other options to do this):
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\intelide HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\pciide HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\iastorVThe first two allow Windows 7 to boot from SATA in IDE mode. The second two allow Windows 7 to boot from SATA in AHCI mode.
