Modern versions of Windows come with a nice feature to create an energy efficiency report. It will help you see statistics on your power configuration with a detailed report.

Earlier, we showed you how you can generate a report of the battery in Windows 10 and Windows 8. The energy efficiency report complements the report of the battery. While the battery reporting feature first appeared in Windows 8, the ratio of energy can be generated in Windows 7 and later

1. Open an elevated command prompt
2. Type the following command: ..

    powercfg -Energy 

   output will be as follows:
   
   Note the path of the report, it created. Usually it is C: Windows System32 energy report.html

3. Now open the file created by powercfg in your favorite web browser

Note :. He can not open in Opera gives an error message "file not found" if the HTML report is located in the system32 directory. Either move the report file or open it with another browser.

the report includes 4 sections with various details about the device and its battery.

the first section comes with some general information about your device such as the manufacturer, details of the BIOS and so on.

the next section Errors has a red background color to certain rows

the red color indicates the system parameters that have a significant impact on your power consumption of the battery. the powercfg tool adds these settings it finds Misconfigured in your diet plan to the errors section. It can find errors with your same configuration for applicable settings when your device mobile is connected. These are not errors per se, they are just indicated to inform you that these parameters can be futher optimized to consume less power or battery.

The next section, Warnings , lists the processes that use and applications that affect timers or timeouts significant processing system.

As above, it is not necessary to correct them, because if you need to run your PC with these settings, you can continue using it in this way. However, if you want to minimize the energy consumption, it shows you what optimizations can be made to consume less energy.

The last section is Information .

It contains general information about your power policy and plans, the battery information (similar to the ratio of the battery), supported sleep states, the power management capabilities of your processor and device driver analysis.

The ratio of the energy is useful when you need to know if your system is configured properly to balance energy consumption with performance. It will give you a better understanding of the parameters exactly you need to change to prolong the life of the battery from the device.

When hibernation is enabled in Windows 10, the operating system creates a file called hiberfil.sys in the root of your C: Drive. Hiberfil.sys that stores the contents of memory (RAM) when you hibernate your PC. When you resume from hibernation, Windows reads this file again and transfers the contents to memory. Because the memory capabilities of modern PCs are still increasing, the hibernation files take up considerable disk space. Here's how you can compress the hibernation file and reduce its size in Windows 10.

Although you can disable hibernation and use the sleep state or always keep your PC powered on, it is not an effective way to power laptops. In addition, features such as Quick Start Windows 10 rely on hibernation being allowed to start the fastest operating system. If you disable hibernation, you lose the benefits of Quick Start

To solve the problem of increased RAM capabilities, Microsoft added the ability to compress the hibernation file in Windows 10. This means that the C :. Hiberfil. sys does not take as much space as your RAM capacity. It can take a lot less disk space, even 50% of your installed RAM capacity. This is a fantastic improvements Microsoft made in Windows 7 and later, but it is disabled by default. Let's see how light it.

How to hibernation file size (hiberfil.sys) in Windows 10

1. Open an elevated command prompt.
2. Type the following command:

    size powercfg hibernate NN 

   where NN is the desired size hiberfil.sys percentage of total memory
   
   To. For example, if you have 8 GB of RAM installed and you want to set the size of the hibernation file to 60% to save disk space. Then simply use the following command:

    powercfg hibernate size 60 

   This will give the hibernation file to 60% of 8GB of RAM, which means that 4.8 Go. There you save 3.2 GB of disk space.

   The size you specify can not be less than 50.

If you have disabled hibernation, the powercfg bet size Hibernate switch automatically hibernate

You can see the size of the C :. Hiberfile.sys file in Explorer in gigabytes (GB) by selecting or by opening its properties. Normally this system file is hidden so you may need to enable the setting to display hidden files, as mentioned in Step 2 of this article.

The free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended. This should finally stop the continuous nags in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 that prompts the user to upgrade to the new version of Windows. However, Microsoft still allows users to move to Windows 10 for free. Here's how you can do it.

Earlier, Microsoft has promised to maintain Windows 10 free for users who use assistive technologies. It seems that the Redmond giant has kept its promise. The company launched a new website to the category of users mentioned.

However, the upgrade process is not limited in any way. The only thing the user has to do is to click the upgrade button!
The above text states the button "Yes, I use assistive technology and I'm ready for my free upgrade to Windows 10."

A special application is downloaded once you click the button. Once you run it, it will begin the upgrade process to Windows 10.

Microsoft is interested in getting all migrated users to Windows 10. That's why they do not restrict access . Thus, any interested user can always get and upgrade to Windows 10 free.

Microsoft states in the FAQ on the site they will make a public announcement before discontinuing this offer for assistive technology users.

Yesterday, a new cumulative update KB3176929 was released for Windows 10. He bumps the version of the operating system to 14,393.10. Here is what is fixed in Windows 10 build 14,393.10

The update includes the following fixes KB3176929 :.

• reliability of background tasks and extensions for Microsoft improved edge.
• license Addressed issue that prevents activation of applications.
• issue dealt preventing to change the display orientation after fixing a keyboard dock.
• Addressed problem with regular update scans that are delayed for Connected Standby.
• Addressed issue that sometimes prevent Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) apps to receive keyboard input.
• Addressed issue with event logging creates very large virtual allocations.
• addressed issues that cause the flight of high battery when a Windows Mobile device 10 is inactive or the screen is off.
• addressed additional issues with Cortana, Microsoft Query and Microsoft Excel compatibility, and the Korean Input Method Editor (IME)

KB3176929 You can get installed by visiting the next page of the Settings application :. Settings -> Updates and Security -> Windows Update - ..> Check for updates

A number of users report that after installing Windows 10 update birthday they are unable to install Edge extensions. The error message produced by Edge says "This application has encountered a problem. Please reinstall to repair." Here's how to fix it.


The question is very boring. Extensions are a new Edge Browser feature in Windows 10 and people who upgrade to Windows version in October 07 expect to try this new ability to have AdBlock, Microsoft Translator and other useful extensions installed through the Windows Store.

Here is how to solve the

1. Open Settings
2. Go system -...> Applications and characteristics
3. Clear all browser extensions you have seen there.
4. Now, open the Registry Editor
5. Go to the following key :.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER  SOFTWARE  Microsoft  Windows  CurrentVersion  Search 

6. Delete following DWORD value if it is present: AllowCortana
7. Delete the following DWORD value if present: BingSearchEnabled

once this is done, reboot your PC.

now open store and try to install the extensions. This should help you resolve this issue.

In Windows 10, you can use symbolic links to easily redirect a folder to another location. Symbolic links are widely used in the operating system for its own files and folders. Using symbolic links, you can save your disk space and make your data available from various file system locations without moving your data physically.
Symbolic links can be quite useful in many situations. For example, recently I added a SSD in my computer and install Windows there. All my portable applications remained in the D: cell and many of them have been configured to work with the D: documents. The problem was that before I added this new SSD, the path to the folder is C: portable and C :. Documents

For these two cases a symbolic link that I had all this work in seconds. I created symlinks c: notebooks and c: documents without moving a file or a folder. Another interesting thing is that if I move my symbolic links to another location, for example, drive E :, they continue to work and will point to my files on D :. Player

This is how symbolic links can be created.

For the management of the symbolic link, Windows offers many ways.

The most famous tool is mklink. It has the following syntax (mklink /?)

 MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target 

/ D - Creates a symbolic link directory. Default is a file symbolic link
/ H -. Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link
/ J -. Creates a Junction
Link directory - .. Specifies the new symbolic link name of
Target - Specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to

Now you may ask be what is the difference between a symbolic link directory and a directory junction

.. what is the difference between a symbolic link directory and a directory junction
a Junction directory is an older type of symbolic link that does not support the UNC (network paths that begin with \) and relative paths. Directory junctions are supported in Windows 00 and Windows NT-based systems later. A symbolic link directory on the other hand also supports UNC and relative paths. However, they need at least Windows Vista. Thus, in most cases today, the directory the symbolic link is the preferred option.

What is the difference between a hard link and a symbolic link
A link can be created only for files, not folders. You can not create a hard link directories. So it has more limitations than a Junction directory and also does not support UNC paths.

How to see if a file or folder is a symbolic link
We will create three types of symbolic links and see how they will be displayed in the operating system.
I will create the Winaero folder on my desktop and Winaero.txt text file in the same location.
Then I'll create a new symbolic link and a new Junction directory for the file and the text file.

mklink the command requires administrator privileges, so you need to run it from an elevated command prompt.

the following command to create a new directory symbolic link

 mklink / d "c:  users  winaero desktop  directory symbolic link " "c:  users  winaero  desktop  winaero "

A symbolic link directory can be visually identified by the shortcut icon overlay added to its main icon:

again, when you have enabled the "Attributes" column in the detail view of the file Browser, you will see the "l" attribute indicating that it is a symbolic link.

Now let's create a new junction directory for Winaero folder, as follows:

 mklink / d "c:  users  winaero  desktop  directory junction "" c:  users  winaero  desktop  winaero "

it has no visual difference from a directory symbolic link in Explorer files, so you can not tell if it is a directory or symbolic link directory junction

the only way to find the link type is to use the command console dir . Open a new command prompt window to the folder that contains your link and run the dir command. See the output:

Now we will create a symbolic link to the text file I created. The command is as follows:

 mklink "c:  users  winaero  desktop  symbolic link.txt file" "c:  users  winaero  desktop  winaero.txt" 

again, it is visually different from a regular shortcut file, besides the value of the attributes of the column and the "symlink" Type:

the situation is different for hard links . We will create a

 mklink / h "c:  users  winaero  desktop  link.txt disk file" "c:  users  winaero  desktop  winaero.txt" 

hard link is no visual difference from a regular file when displayed in file Explorer:

the only way to ensure that the file is a hard link is to use another console utility. fsutil
Run as

 fsutil hardlink list "link.txt disk file" 

The specified command shows all files fixed link:

you can not see if a file is a link easily because the Explorer of the box gives no indication. They behave like regular files in the production of a dir command or the File Explorer.

However, hard links are still links to other files. They do not reproduce the contents of the target file and do not take the redundant disk space

In Windows Vista and later, directory junctions are used to connect the paths of old files as folders C :. Documents and Settings for newer paths like C: Users. Symbolic links are also used to redirect C: Users All Users to C :. ProgramData

from Windows Vista, hard links are also widely used by Windows and its maintenance mechanism. Many system files are hard links to the files in the Windows folder store components. If you run the fsutil hardlink list command to explorer.exe, notepad.exe or regedit.exe, you can see for yourself!

The record stores various files WinSxS system, which are linked by hard links files in the C: Windows, C: Windows System32 and other system files. When using the system updates are installed, the files in WinSxS interior is updated and difficult system-related sites again.

There. Now you know everything you need to know about symbolic links in Windows 10. Using this information, you can solve problems with the roads when you add a new drive in your computer, or move a file, but still need it is accessible via its previous path. Feel free to leave a comment if you have a question or something to add.
