Windows 10 Upgrade for Razer Edge Pro

I'll just say this. I was tired of Windows 8, I really missed my start menu. Windows 10 brought it back!

I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my Razer Edge Pro, and upgraded flawlessly to Windows 10 using their migration button in the task menu. As noted in the Razer Insider forum posts, the Auto-rotation feature will be disabled because Windows 10 won't be able to find the drivers for the sensors sadly.

One issue I encountered was with the Windows 10 installation itself I got error "Windows Update Installation Failure 80240020"

This was solved for me using this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-update-installation-failure-80240020/d695e827-9774-4e10-8972-df8d51a7bb51?auth=1

The summary is:

1. Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
2. It should exist, but if not, create it.
3. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name = "AllowOSUpgrade” (without the quotes), and set the Value = 0x00000001.

I also needed to load the cmd prompt and do the auwuclt.exe/updatenow trick.

uMod Could Not Send to Game, Could not find hash, maybe file is not named as *_HASH.dds

So I actually ran into this when changing some textures in Diablo III using uMod. All the textures I had previously worked, so as you can imagine I was surprised to get the error. I think it should have been much simpler to find the solution, basically, if you are getting this error....it is likely the texture you are trying to replace is not present. In the case of Diablo III the textures were renamed. I ended up hunting down the textures manually.

Skyrim Crashes to Desktop (CTD) when looting chests or opening bodies

This actually happened to me when I was trying to click on the body (Gunjar's body) in the tutorial. I ended loading another save file and discovered it occurred when even trying to open chests. I read a bunch of posts and many suggested it could be one of the following:

• Mod Load Order 
• Conflicts with Animation Skeleton (X32 Max Skeleton)
• Corrupt Save
• Verifying Configuration for missing files with Steam
• Defrag Machine
• Video Quality Settings 
• SkyUI 
• Heavily Scripted Mods, FNIS etc...

Here is a good reference post: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2076864-ctd-when-entering-helgen-keep/

Post #3 more or less had my issue

Turned out there was actually only one issue in that huge list above, the culprit was SkyUI. I had the really old SkyUI and when I updated to the newer SkyUI I didn't fully uninstall the older version and it was having conflicts since some files were moved to the .esp of the new SkyUI where they were folders before. I deleted the old SkyUI stuff and I haven't had a problem since!

PTC Windchill Solutions won't start with Error "Could not connect to net.tcp://:/Relex.Security/IAccessManager"

Problem: Message "Could not connect to net.tcp://<host-name>:<port>/Relex.Security/IAccessManager" appears when launching PTC 

Solution: The PTC Forums describe the issue at Document CS192106, however, the issue for me turned out to be that not all the PTC Windchill Services were running. 

To check: Click the windows button and type "services.msc" in the services window go down to the main PTC serices: Alert Services, Long Running Task Service, Object Broker Services, Search Indexer Service, and make sure they are all started

Hardware Platform does not update in Xilinx SDK after Export to SDK is selected

Been having an issue where I export to SDK but the bitstream and the hardware platform is not updating correctly. Xilinx has an AR record for this, but they don't have a solution to update the platform, they just tell you a work around, see below:

AR# 36390
12.1 EDK - Export to SDK does not update the bit file in the workspace if hardware XML is not updated


Description
When only the UCF file is modified in the EDK project, the "Export to SDK" function updates the new bit file in the "SDK\SDK_Export" directory. However, the bit file in "SDK\SDK_Workspace_35\hw_platform_0" is not updated. Since "SDK\SDK_Workspace_35\hw_platform_0" is the default directory that "Program FPGA" takes, the FPGA function did not change if you program FPGA within SDK after the export.
Solution
To work around this issue, you can perform either of these steps manually:
Point the "Program FPGA" to the bit file in the EDK project implementation directory, or the SDK\SDK_Export directory.
Copy the bit file from SDK\SDK_Export toSDK\SDK_Workspace_35.
