https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0.9 Changing the tongue with Windows 10 https://blog.zoolway.com/changing-the-tongue-with-windows-10 https://blog.zoolway.com/changing-the-tongue-with-windows-10#respond Wed, 31 Aug 2016 20:01:20 +0000 http://blog.zoolway.com/?p=142 When I changed my job I started to work with an English Windows – so English is the primary system language. To a developer this can feel quite natural and I became so used to it that I would like to have this on my machine at home, too.

But there are always these prejudices from the “old age” ™. Changing the primary language in Windows always was impossible. If you really wanted to have Windows itself change, you had to re-install with a different installation medium.

This time I learned something from an older brother of mine. He is not an IT guy but wanted to change the language on a machine for one of his engine customers. I was all the “oh no, this is not possible” – way when he found out and told me: You can quite easily obtain more language packs for Windows 10 and you can switch your primary display langauge which will even include login screen if you want!

So just go to your control panel and start your journey. Note: Mix and match is possible, so you can pick different styles for numbers, dates, windows display language and keyboard layout. \o/

sl1

As always you do not only have a language but regions which define language, formattings and even dialects (the word for January differs between “German (Germany)” and “German (Austria)”!). Click “Add a language”. You will get a huge ammount to choose from. Get all you want.

sl2

Note they are not installed immediately:

sl3

Open the langauge and select to install the language pack.

sl5

This will download some megabytes and then require a reboot. Go back here afterwards.

Now define your Windows display language by selecting “Make this the primary language”.

sl7

After logged off and in you have no change your Windows display language:

sl8

Time to look at the advanced settings. Maybe you want to stick to your “old” keyboard layout? And not always select it after every reboot?

sl13

You can chose to have the input language not defined by the language list (where English is now number one for me) but select a dedicated layout. This still allows you to change the input language with the language bar at any time you want!

One more thing: Have a look at the link in the very first category here: “Apply language settings to the welcome screen, system accounts and new user accounts”. Click it and you can change these options, too. Very nice!

My personal favorite here is “Open command window here”. A prompt appears just in the folder you clicked. With lately increasing workload using the command-line this is a great help for me every day.

But as a developer often enough I require an elevated prompt. You can right-click a shortcut as select “Run As Administrator” to achieve this. But the prompt opened by above feature is never elevated. Also there is no command to elevate it. Sure, you could just run runas /user:Administrator@localhost cmd – but that is not running under your current user. Still I have not looked into the Linux subsystem features prepared by the Win 10 anniversary update – but I found this cool registry entry on the web which adds a second context menu entry which gives you an elevated prompt (of course, after UAC confirmation).

One of the feature of this new version is remote play support for Windows and Mac. After my first two reviews of remote play (Playstation TV, Remote Play Impressions and No news on PS TV) time to take a closer look again.

With Microsofts plans for the UWP and bringing Xbox One playing to the PC, Sonys move it is not a big surprise. In fact, with the Vita / PS TV remote play feature and Playstation Now the also should already have the tech. Nevertheless this was fast: With firmware update 3.50 remote play got compatible with PC (Win 8+) and Mac. The client can be downloaded from https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/lang/en/index.html.

So, if you have read on my old blog entries on remote play on the Playstation platform you can image that I was not very enthusiastic about it.

 

PC Remote Play

Let’s start with PC remote play. Installation and running the software is not problem at all. You have to connect your dualshock 4 controller with the micro usb interface to your computer and (if not already done) enable remote play on your PS4. A small hint for starters: Go right into the settings because it launches with 540p and refresh frequency set to “standard”. This will give you an unnecessary blurry experience. Go for 720p and set the frequency to “high”. This way play recordings will be disabled but if you do not need it these are the best settings.

I will not do a detailed text here but share my experience. With 720p set up the graphics will not be the best but good enough. And the input lag was highly minimized. I did some tests with Fallout 4, Rocket League, Shovel Knight and Resogun. Opposed to my former experience the input lag is now acceptable. Sony did a great job to improve on this.

Sure, this is not the same as playing with your PS4 at 1080p and you have to keep screen distance in mind. But this is not bad!

PS4 Remote Play

 

PS TV Remote Play

With this nice experience with the remote play feature on Windows I was wondering if the situation with Playstation Television has improved on behalf of that.

To keep things short here too: Yes! The input lag was also minimized with this update and using the PS4 on my Vita TV, oops, PS TV, is now an option again. Personally I would say that the graphic quality is better with PS TV than on PC but that could also be caused by the television and screen distance.

A nice fact to add: With the active standby mode of the PS4 the PC and the PS TV can even remotely start the PS4. Nice!

With the current results even Playstation Now feels more doable now – when we get the bandwidth 😉

Since Microsoft announced that .NET goes open source last year I more and more got the feeling the guys are making a lot of right decisions at the moment. This year brings us Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 – which is a big haul over for us developers out there. But let us start with Windows 10.

I was a fan and user of Windows 8.1 before. So with no doubt I registered for the free upgrade program. This week the time had come and my Windows told me it would be ready to upgrade. While most will prefer to do a clean install I was eager and courious – would an upgrade without a fresh installation really work? I gave it a try.

Long story short: After some installing and rebooting I switched from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 in less than an hour – automatically!

Windows 10 is amazing and I encourage everyone to upgrade!

If you are still Windows 7 you might find Windows 10 much more attractive than 8. My machine feels faster now and I like the clean but tile-supporting start menu. It just feels like the right evolution of my operating system.

I do not want to keep some minor problems a secret. I ran only into two issues:

  • Fingerprint sensor – After the upgrade I could no longer login with my fingerprints. This is because I had to activate Windows Hello and this requires to configure a PIN first. This is a bit suprising as the PIN feels less secure. After configuring a PIN I could reactivate the fingerprint. Although I configured them the fingerprint login was not available. With some googling I found out I had to completly remove my fingerprint driver and delete all registred fingerprints. Then I reinstalled the fingerprint driver (which is from Win 8 by the way) and re-registered the fingerprint – and Windows Hello started to work fine!
  • VirtualBox and Docker – Yes, I will come to the details later when talking about some programming. But VirtualBox and Docker needed some workarounds. VirtualBox 5.0.1 does not seem ready yet for Windows 10 and Boot2Docker also misses some fixes which parameters VirtualBox 5.0.1 supports in Windows 10. I was able to get it to run with VirtualBox 5.0.1 and Docker Machine. With Docker Machine you can use the –driver=virtualbox flag to create the virtual machine which you can use with Docker.
    I guess it just needs some week to have VirtualBox and Docker working out-of-the-box on Windows 10.
