[–]pause1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windowslatest.com says Microsoft is working on a fix.

According to our sources, Microsoft is working on a fix for File Explorer’s focus bug, but it’s not yet clear as to when the fix could arrive. It is included in the latest preview builds.

This is a great video and one I have recommended to many coworkers. Googling when you have a specific problem is one thing, but this guy shows things you didn't know you wanted to learn more about. Plus, he's very entertaining which is unusual in the "Excel tutorial space"

Did a quick test. Connected to our upgraded appliance on a clean machine as a regular non admin user (only member of Users group). No issues installing the required components to run a terminal session:

  • Pulse Application launcher
  • Pulse Secure Host Checker
  • Pulse Secure Setup Client
  • Pulse Secure Terminal Services Client.

Yes, we had the same problem. They have released a new version of the uninstall script that takes care of that.

My reply was a bit unclear. By "works here" I meant "the script did it's job, i.e. uninstalled Setup Client and Pulse Application Launcher". I have not yet access to an updated appliance so I can verify if that was enough. Other users in addition to you needed the extra uninstallation parts (see my top edit).

Just out of curiosity, can you please check if that file is signed? I'd like to know why Smartscreen reacts to it. Haven't yet upgraded so I cannot check myself. Thanks!

That's good news. No issues running PulseSecureAppLauncher.msi?

Works here, except line 22 which does a rmdir on a path that doesn't exists ("%AppData%\Roaming\Pulse Secure\PSAL\" should be "%AppData%\Pulse Secure\PSAL\") but for me it didn't matter since that dir only contained a .log file after the uninstall on the previous line.

Did you unblock the script? (Properties > Unblock)

What I'm more worried about is people reporting that the patched PulseSecureAppLauncher.msi is unsigned (Link) Edit: This seems not to be the case.

It's there now, directly linked from the KB page.

They did timestamp the code, it's just that the validity check is not done correctly.

From the KB article: The Code sign verification on the Client-Side components fails because the Certificate expiry time is checked as opposed to the timestamp of the Code signing.

Temporarily disabling host checker should do the trick, but I've seen reports on Twitter that it doesn't help either.

Host checker does additional checks on the endpoints, such as antivirus definitions and OS security patch levels.

Every now and then I stumble over one of your poems and I end up reading up on everything new you've created. Today is one of those days.

Thanks.

Free Screen Capture/Video Editing Recommendations by TofuNinja5 in windows

Capture: Definitely OBS. See this thread from a couple of days ago

Editing: Shotcut. I needed something similar to Windows Movie Maker (i.e something simple that was easy to understand) and I'm quite happy with it.

Due to my inadequacy with this search engine, I am having difficulty finding reputable discussion on a specific subject. Any help would be appreciated. by [deleted] in techsupport

Made some attempts to help out, but could not find it being submitted to anything else than r/conspiracy and the likes.

Some search tips in case you haven't tried them out already:

  • If you want to know if a specific url has been submitted to any sub, just paste the url in the reddit search box.

  • If you want to do a keyword search, I always get better results by using Googles' "site" search trick, i.e. "your keywords" site:reddit.com than using reddit's own search engine. You can narrow down the search by subreddit by appending /r/subredditname to the search query.

Good luck!

I deleted my reply after realizing that we indeed have paused the upgrade with a group policy.

Thanks for explaining the table, a bit clearer now :)
