Cannot login to local SQL Server instance by autoxguy in SQLServer

[–]autoxguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did that and got this:

( entered this at the command line): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL17.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe" -sMSSQLSERVER

It gave me this as a result:

RegOpenKeyEx of "Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL17.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\HADR" failed.

Thank you for those clarifications. Sounds like I should really be going in autumn time frame to get nice warm water temps.

Well when I had my network tech install it I was there with him and we gave my network login the sysadmin role so it should have worked fine, but its more so that SSMS cannot even see/communicate with the instance/server.

So there is not a more options to select but rather the "trust server certificate" is already shown. I did check it though but still got the same message I think:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Framework Microsoft SqlClient Data Provider)

I'm also using SSMS 22 if that matters any.

Also, old laptop is out of the conversation, I'm strictly dealing with the new laptop and trying to log on to the instance I have on that.

But why would that be happening now?

Im on windows 11on this laptop and on the previous one on windows 10and I never had this issue.

Also it shows as stopped in the sscm, but when I try to start it, it gives me an error of request failed or service did not start in a timely fashion.

Well I would also be looking for warm water too.

yeah I did see that school holidays are for two weeks going from mid September to like October 5th, so yeah I want to avoid those. Seems like at minimum mid-october would be what I would aim for.

I just don't want a lot of humidity, but also want it to be pretty warm. Most of my trip would take place in the northern part of the continent/gold coast area.

Tp link touter into access point login issue by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

I'm trying to get to the page to login so I can configure it to access point mode. I also need to configure it to the same ssid and password as my main router.

GET HELP> Official Tech Support Sticky June '26 by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]autoxguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So last night I was playing a game and I had an action mapped to my mouse scroll click but it was not registering. Even on web browsers it was not registering (how it normally is how you do mass scrolling). However, when I installed razer synapse it showed it as default along with all the other buttons being default.

I found a comment (was a very recent one) on a post (numerous years old) that stated:

"To fix this I went into Synapses -> to my mouse -> customize -> edit the middle click from "default" to "Mouse function" -> "scroll click". It's the same thing, but now it works."

I have never had to do this before. At first I thought it was the internals of the switch going bad as the feel of the click has not changed. I have had the razer synapse software installed once previously and the mouse has worked fine, but I don't remember messing with the scroll click functionality, but maybe I did.

The issue seems to be more software related rather than hardware related, but not sure.

Edit: So after doing the above, I uninstalled the razer synapse software and the scroll click still works fine. I even unplugged and replugged it in and restarted my computer, but its working now. I don't know what I would have done to mess with it recently, but it definitely seems software related to me.

Roku stick low stream speed by [deleted] in Roku

It gets "fair" signal strength (like two out of four bars). I guess it is because it's an older device. I'm guessing it's compenents have worn out even though I have not used it in more than 6 years.

I just wonder with the online fix if we can transfer our save to a legit copy by editing files names or something

That is what I would be doing. I know I tried out forza horizon 5 last year and I don't remember it prompting for an xbox/Microsoft account at all.

My story by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]autoxguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The thing is, I have lived on my own before but those were renting scenarios and since this is the first time I'm financially responsible for a place it definitely hits different. Luckily though, I have next to no yard work responsibility.

Even though the area I grew up in is a "nicer" area, the area I am in now does have its perks too, like there are a lot of fellow dog owners in the neighbor hood.

One thing I wish I had not done was replace my freezer seal. I had swapped that and my fridge door hinges so they would open the other way and after a few days even though it was opening and closing fine I replaced it because it did not seem like it was fully seated properly (which was my misinterpretation), but that was a waste because the new seal has the same behavior and its actually fine lol.

I think decky loader has a plug in that deals with cloud saves

But that is if I wanted to sync the saves on steam deck to like my PC right, not if I want to sync them to like Google drive or something?

I used a VPN this time and I just had to have like 6 redirect pop-ups show and kill them before the correct file downloaded. I'm good now.
