Now the computer asks to restart each time it starts...
Not a big issue as I can say do it later, but...
Any idea to avoid it? anyone has seen the same behavior?
PS: I can see aero is disabled, just when it gets enabled the reset message appears...
It looks like any software upgraded on windows 10 can have issues... more if the software was an update like updating the displaylink software for the old usb docking station...

The only thing I can suggest is going to windows update and undoing updates in reverse-date order until the behaviour stops, because it's possible that it's a win10 update that's causing it.
The only other alternative is to join the list of Win10 updaters who wish they'd never clicked that button, but are stuck with it.

It doesn't looks like it...
The last update is the windows 10 update...
I was very happy with it, but a specific software was not working there and I needed it so...
The problem is now going back to something reliable:
- that start issue.
- the MRU in the start menu is not working (I can' see it for applications I've used in Windows 10).

My family member asked me to fix this.
I just added a schedule task that does "shutdown -a" every minute

Google wants to inject cyborg lenses into your eyeballs
"Google has patented a new technology that would let the company inject a computerized lens directly into your eyeball.
The company has been developing smart glasses and even smart contact lenses for years. But Google's newest patented technology would go even further -- and deeper.
(Note: the squeamish should skip to the next paragraph.) In its patent application, which the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved last week, Google says it could remove the lens of your eye, inject fluid into your empty lens capsule and then place an electronic lens in the fluid.
Once equipped with your cyborg lenses, you would never need glasses or contacts again. In fact, you might not even need a telescope or a microscope again. And who needs a camera when your eyes can capture photos and videos?
The artificial, computerized lenses could automatically adjust to help you see objects at a distance or very close by. The lenses could be powered by the movement of your eyeball, and they could even connect to a nearby wireless device. ..."

Makes me wonder who has beta tested this thing already?

Just think of the adverts they could send direct to retina.

Yes, then scumbags can encrypt all data in your brain, and force you to pay a ransom to decrypt your brain. What a nice concept!

If you've not seen it, a wonderfully dark, bleak and depressing look at such a dystopia can be found in "15 Million merits", S01E02 of the British series Black Mirror.
Basically, the walls and ceilings of your living-space are covered with LCDs that show continual programming. Adverts will pause if you look away and wont resume until your gaze returns to one of the screens. For a fee, adverts can be skipped.
The show is, I think, really well done - even though so very bleak.

Yet another absolutely bollocks patent.
Have they actually done this? If they have, then people need to be arrested.
Did they have a working prototype (installed into the eye of a real person) included in their patent application?
Do they have anything that really, actually, incontrovertibly PROVES that they can do it?
A wunch of bankers, the lot of 'em.
"Do no evil"? They're so caught up in their narcissistically believed godhood that they don't even realise how many times they cross that line.

Lens replacement surgery is so common that they do it by the roadside in India and Africa. This would just be a smart lens instead of a passive one. Really don't know what all the horror's about! 
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

There's a bit of a difference between inserting a lens built in a specialist laboratory and inserting a ****ing spyware computer in your eye.

Can anyone recommend a Home Security Camera system? I was thinking something USB based that connects to the PC so I can remote in and see what's happening from time to time. Needs to be less than $200.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I would suggest any decent IP webcam, that way you do not need to connect via a cable to the PC.
As for software, apparently there's a really great application that connects to usb and IP based webcams for motion detection - I think it's called something like tebocam[^].

Can your software handle more than one cam at a time ?
"-Monitor up to 9 webcams simultaneously. "
The first line of the features. Damn, I need to learn how to read. 
|
|
|
|

 a small tweak to the UI and the number of cameras can be increased.
I chose 9 because I thought 'anyone who needs more than 9 cameras is probably going to be able to afford to pay for a security system'.

I second that.
Get an IP Camera, axis, Hik / Swann, whatever.
Then you don't need the PC turned on, and get one with an SD card slot so it keeps the last few days of video recorded on it.
you can get these for around £150 in the uk.

The advantage of having some sort of software is that ideally you want any images ftp'd or emailed to somewhere safe.
This way if your camera(s) or computer is stolen you still have the images.
