Hi,
Had a bit trouble with Win 10 updates, KB3124266 seems to have jammed my up dates. Anybody else had this issue...
I think schools are back from the number of serial port questions in Q&A.

Not very helpful I'm sure but, no.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Thanks for being the guinea pig (:-P). I got KB3124263 instead of 266.
A possible recovery method:
1) stop windows update service
2) recursively delete contents of c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
3) start windows update service
4) go to start->settings->update & security->check for updates now
Be happy!

This thread made me wonder/worry about which was installed on my system.
I went and looked at the Windows (10) update history and it is quite terrible really.
Anyways, they are sorted by date of installation, but KB3124263 shows no date of installation.

Then it was probably not relevant to your system.

I have it installed on a few systems and didn't notice anything unusual on any of them.
Have you tried downloading the installer[^] and running it directly, instead of going through Windows Update?

I had a bit of problems with the new update.
Besides it taking a lot of time(I get it it's a new build).
It reset all of my settings. Edge was set as default browser and the default program to open .pdf files.
Everything from my taskbar was gone and also my product key is different than it was prior to this update. What bothers me most is that two files are gone from my desktop and I don't remember what they were. At home the update deleted a few programs(like Ccleaner). I hope nothing important got deleted. But I guess we won't know until we need it.
Also my co-worker had no problems at all. No resets regarding settings, everything exactly as it was. So I wonder, what setting did I miss regarding updates.

I use Visual Studio 2012 and from time to time a window pops up, warning me that memory is running low and I must save my work and restart VS. There is no way the machine is running low on memory. I have 32GB installed.
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that VS is a native 32 bit application, and 32 bits can only address 4GB?
I could never explain why Microsoft does not have a 64 bit version of VS yet!

Try to delete your visual studio cache to see if this helps:
Simply delete the files in the following folder (when not running VS), and hopefully this will help:
c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\VWDCache

Thanks for the tip! I will try that for sure.

2GB actually, it's a signed integer for some inscrutable reason.

It was 2GB (or 3) on 32bit OSes, because the rest is kernel space, nothing to do with signedness.
4GB on a 64bit OS.
Still 2GB if LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE = 0. VS has it set to 1 as far as I can tell.

Where is this setting, please? In the registry?

It's part of the PE header, not a global thing.

It's done when the program is compiled into an executable. It can't be set afterwards.

You can use editbin /largeaddressaware deveenv.exe.
But at your own risk.

I tried this from an elevated command prompt, and it ran without error messages, but also no "success" messages. I assume the lack of error messages means it worked? VS still works just fine. Thanks for the tip.

Google is your friend today.
Open the "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)" console from the start menu, and CD into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE (adjust for your own system if you have changed the installation directory or run 64-bit Windows).
Then do:
dumpbin /headers devenv.exe | more
Stolen from visual studio 2010 - verify if largeAddressAware is in effect? - Stack Overflow[^]

VERY GOOD advice, thanks. It says devenv.exe can handle large addresses > 2GB!
I learnt a lot today.

With enough RAM.

The address space is 4GB with not enough RAM also, you just can't have all of it filled with physical pages at the same time then

true.

It's the program itself that has this flag, to tell the OS that it's able to address more than 2GB.
And why would the program not be able to address more than 2GB?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe it assumes pointers are positive. But it doesn't matter, regardless of the reason, if it doesn't set the flag then it's not getting 4GB of space. And even that doesn't matter, VS has it set.
