Presenting Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation with your Android based mobile

In the past years I presented a lot of presentations with the presenttools such as Logitech Presenters. They work fine but sometimes I forgot to take with me. 

So I was searching the internet for solutions. In the past I tried this solution but the integration wasn’t in that state that you can trust on it but I tried it yesterday. And I was a little bit confused over the smooth integration. Believe it or not. It’s a good solution. And I am going to use this solution tomorrow. 

Over 25 hours I’m back and let you know if it’s a solution to user with a real scenario.

Harddisk loopt vol (Windows 10)

Recent had ik mijn Surface opgeschoond. Afgelopen week bleek dat mijn OS-disk nog maar 5Gb over had. Na diverse zoekacties (Treesize) kwam ik er achter dat dit artikel ook op mijn situatie van toepassing was.
Hier direct het artikel:
The SFC.exe program writes the details of each verification operation and of each repair operation to the CBS.log file. The CBS.persist.log is generated when the CBS gets to be around 50 meg in size. CBS.log is copied to cbs.persist.log and a new cbs.log file is started.


It would be useful only for troubleshooting issues. If you are sure your system is running fine, you can delete this file. SFC.exe will create a new one, next time it is run.

I have used following method to delete:

1. Stop TrustedInstaller.exe (Windows Module Installer) in Taskmanager Services tab. Additionally if you cannot, open the Taskmanager Processes tab and End Task the same process.
2. Delete or move all the .log files in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS directory, you can delete the .persist and .cab files as well.
3. Start Windows Module Installer service (TrustedInstaller.exe) again.Facebooktwitterlinkedininstagramby feather

Change search provider Microsoft Edge

It’s hard to find how to add f.e. Google search as the search option in Microsoft Edge. Here you can find the most easiest way to do.

  • Start the Microsoft Edge browser
  • Browse to f.e. www.google.com/search (change .com into the for you preferred language, see also step 8.). Keep in mind, when you enter the website, the browser redirects you to another url. But that’s fine.
  • Click in the right corner on the dots
  • Change Edge Settings

 

 

  • Next click on Settings
  • Click on “View Advanced Settings”
  • Scroll down and click on “Change search engine”
  • Now you can see the current default search engine but you can also see the browsed search engine.
  • Click on the searched search engine. In this case it’s www.google.nl
  • Click on “Set as default”.
  • You are ready to use google as search engine in Microsoft Edge now.

We discussed about google as search engine. Do you prefer another search engine. It works in the same way.Facebooktwitterlinkedininstagramby feather
