Help! I’m stuck at “Applying Computer Settings” … | |
|
||
| Time: 03:13 EST/08:13 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Perhaps one of the most frustrating issues to troubleshoot is a system that sits at the “Applying Computer Settings …” screen for what seems like forever before (eventually) getting to the point that you can log in. Interestingly, although several of these cases are routed to the Performance team as a perceived system hang, the fact of the matter is that the system really isn’t hung at all. In the overwhelming majority of the cases, the system is trying to complete an operation and is waiting for a response. With that having been said, the unfortunate reality is that there are literally hundreds of possible causes – but today, we’re going to go over a couple of them, and show you some quick troubleshooting shortcuts. So without further ado … | ||

This is getting really frustrating... I see something which looks like it may be of interest on my RSS feed, so I click it. Then I see it's on activewin. My heart sinks.
If you're going to quote things, please, please PLEASE put a link to what you're quoting. Telling me that something is from www.microsoft.com is completely irrelevant - I haven't the time, nor the patience to wade through the entire site to find something that I assume is probably on a blog somewhere. Please, I implore you, in future link directly to the *actual* source. If not, I'll be removing activewin from my RSS feeds, and suggesting the company who provides it do the same in future releases. |

I don't understand what you mean. Sorry :
When you click the title you will be redirected to the original article, which comes from blogs.technet.com which is Microsoft, and that's why the news source = Microsoft. Please explain what is unlogical about that, so that we can improve it ! So, clicking the title redirects you to the original article and clicking on the news source brings you to the source, which most of the times is the same, but not allways. Regards, Kenneth |

I guess this is a case of PEBCAK - but I would suggest changing the theme so that either the title is more obviously a hyperlink, or change the wording of the "source"... I have yet to come across a source which points at anything other than the index of the website.
Also: I would say that blogs.technet.com would be the source, not www.microsoft.com. Thanks for the response, as I say it's mostly a PEBCAK. |

Hi,
I think i'm a complete n00b on this, but what is a PEBCAK? I will take into account your comment on news source, problem is that at this moment the AW backend isn't that flexible in providing one. Guess you will have to wait for the new AW site to see real improvement on that point. Regards, Kenneth |
