How to Disable Bing Search in Windows

Image
 Many Windows users prefer to limit their searches to local files and programs without including internet results. Here's a simple guide to disable Bing search in Windows: ## Step-by-Step Guide 1. Open the Registry Editor    - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog    - Type `regedit` and press Enter 2. Navigate to the following path:    `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search` 3. Create a new DWORD value:    - Right-click in the right panel    - Select New > DWORD Value (32-bit)    - Name the new value "BingSearchEnabled" 4. Configure the new value:    - Double-click on "BingSearchEnabled"    - Set the value to 0 5. Restart your computer ## What does this do? By setting "BingSearchEnabled" to 0, you're telling Windows that you don't want to use Bing search in the Windows search function. This limits the search to only include local files and programs.

Installing pikvm on raspberry pi zero 2 w

Image
It turns out that Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is an excellent platform for PiKVM in the wild. Given the right components, you can just plug in HDMI and USB into a target device, and you will be able to remotely view and control the device through a web interface. No need for external power! Components to buy: - HDMI to CSI-2 (i used the model from Geekworm with SKU: 100202, but site refers to https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000102166176.html - perhaps it's the same) - microSDXC card (i used SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Card 128GB) The HDMI to CSI-2 contained both a printboard with HDMI slot as well as a cable. Follow the steps: 1. Download https://pikvm.org/download/ , select the version named "Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, v2 platform" 2. Follow the steps at https://docs.pikvm.org/flashing_os/ Which for my setup amounts to: 2.1 Download RPi Imager 2.2 Choose Custom image at the button 3.

RemoteApp displays black window

 When setting up RemoteApp for accessing an application on a remote server, you may find that some applications or subprocesses will display as "black windows". In order to "fix" this, you should be able to modify the group policies for the Host server. Type "gpedit.msc" in Run. Locate Admistraive Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment. Then find the value "Use advanced RemoteFX graphics for Remote App" and disable it as shown below.
