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.

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] 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.

Cool:
use command:
fsutil hardlink list MyFileName.txtIt lists all hardlinks to file with name MyFileName.txt.

I was upgrading a few older systems that had been off-line for quite a while.
When installing Chocolatey, I bumped into this error:
C:\bin>"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin" Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel." At line:1 char:1 + iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocol ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
So I tried [WayBack] chocolatey “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.” – Google Search
Results indicated TLS 1.1 support was removed early February 2020 from Chocolatey because of security reasons, which impacts the installation on older systems:
If you see the following: Exception calling “DownloadString” with “1” argument(s): “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.” then you are likely running an older machine that needs to be upgraded to be able to use TLS 1.2 at a minimum.
Chocolatey.org now requires TLS 1.2 at a minimum. Please see https://chocolatey.org/blog/remove-support-for-old-tls-versions. The post provides options if you have older clients that need to install Chocolatey.
We will be removing support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 from the Chocolatey Website on 3 February 2020.
…
Provisioning Older Machines?
If you find yourself provisioning machines such as Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or older, you will find that those machines will not be able to communicate with the Chocolatey Community Repository after we implement this change. For those instances, you will need to use alternative installation methods for Chocolatey. We strongly recommend using the offline Chocolatey installation as it provides the most flexibility and reliability.
Note [WayBack] Chocolatey install Error: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel – Stack Overflow with a temporary workaround for Microsoft Windows Server 2016:
Looks like the security protocol changed:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

If you get this error:
Backup and Restore failed and you receive the following error message: The backup did not complete successfully. Check your backup: Windows Backup skipped backing up system image because one or more critical volumes is not having enough free space.
then you are dealing with error 0x81000033 which usually means your SYSTEM RESERVED partition is full, but might happen on other volumes you are backing up as well.
Windows tries to trick your mind, as the error actually indicates the disk you make your backup to, but in fact it is about one or more of the disks you are backing up.
Most often, this is the hidden partition SYSTEM RESERVED (sometimes called System Reserved):
The
SYSTEM RESERVEDpartition (~100 megabyte on systems originally installed with Windows < 8 and ~350 megabyte afterwards) contains files relating to boot, recovery and BitLocker drive encryption. You find more information about it here:
The minimum free size for volumes when using Windows backup are these:
That was indeed the case on my disk:
System Reserved volumeA quick search for 0x81000033 reveals space issues usually are about the USN Journal which you can configuring using fsutil.
Even though the documentation doesn’t tell, fsutil accepts not just a drive letter as VolumePath, but also a VolumeName. [WayBack] 1_multipart_xF8FF_3_WolfC07.pdf (Chapter 7 of “Troubleshooting Microsoft Technologies: The Ultimate Administrator’s Repair Manual“) gets that right:
volumepath … specify the path to a logical volume (drive letter, mount path, volume name).
So you do not need a drive letter to disable the USN journal, the volumename suffices.
This volume name is the unique NTFS identification for a volume: [WayBack] NTFS Curiosities (part 2): Volumes, volume names and mount points – Antimail
You can find the volume name inside PowerShell by using Get-Volume | Format-List, then on an administrative command prompt running this:
fsutil usn deletejournal /D \\?\Volume{b41b0670-0000-0000-00e8-0e8004000000}\
In my case this wasn’t enough, so I had to assign a drive letter to see that there was a snapshots directory in the root:
Deleting that directory solved the problem.

By default, Chrome uses the same proxy server as Internet Explorer: the system one that your Chrome settings page accesses from chrome://settings/search#proxy through this command-line call:
"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,,4
There is no GUI way inside Chrome to change this, but there is a command-line parameter: --proxy-server="ipaddress:port"
So create a new shortcut to Chrome, then you can change it.
This comes in very handy if you want to test
