How to Restore Recovery Partition without Using a USB Flash Drive
Hello,
I attempted to clone a disk to another using the AOMEI Partition Assistant tool. Although the cloning process appeared to be successful, when I tried to boot from the cloned disk, it immediately displayed a blue screen error with code 0xc00000e. Selecting F1 for recovery environment resulted in a reboot to the same screen, while choosing F8 for startup settings flashed the screen briefly with no further action. Even repeatedly pressing F8 during boot did not bring up the recovery environment.
I then tried rebuilding the Master Boot Record (MBR) using the AOMEI tool, but it did not resolve the issue. The clone disk is a Micron SATA SSD connected to another PC via a SATA to USB adapter. Unfortunately, I do not have a USB flash drive to create a bootable media using the official Windows tool.
I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO, mounted it virtually, and ran the setup. However, the setup only offered to install on the current system drive and did not provide an option to repair another Windows installation on the SSD connected via USB.
Is there a way to repair the Windows 10 installation on the cloned drive using the resources I have available? I have another working laptop with Windows 11 and the SATA USB adapter, but no USB flash drive. I suspect the recovery partition may be faulty or missing, although it was likely the same on the original disk, as the recovery does not run and the recovery partition shows only a small amount of available space.
I have access to the original drive from which the clone was made, but I should not make any modifications to it to avoid any risks with the data.
Thank you for your assistance; this is crucial for me. Best wishes.

Question About the SSD in Dell XPS 9500
Hello everyone, I recently acquired a pristine Dell XPS 9500 to replace my damaged one. The new laptop is identical in model, processor, and graphics. I’m wondering if I can simply transfer the SSD from the damaged laptop to the new one without any complications. Both machines are running Windows 11 Pro, and I’d prefer to avoid the hassle of transferring files, college software, etc., as it can be tedious and time-consuming. Your assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

“Screen Locks Before Activating Screensaver”
Our organization is currently utilizing Lenovo laptops running Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise edition. For the past five years, we have implemented a Group Policy Object (GPO) to manage our screensaver settings. However, we have recently observed a brief ‘locking’ screen appearing before the screensaver activates. We are seeking assistance to bypass the locking screen and have the screensaver start directly. Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue before?

How to Open wt.exe on a Clear Screen
I’m finding this to be quite a simple task, but I just can’t seem to find the solution.
Upon executing wt.exe with the parameter “-p “Windows PowerShell”” and wt.exe with the parameter “-p “Command Prompt””, I am faced with the following issue:
Is there a method to avoid displaying the “logos” or to include a cls command in the command line itself?
Ideally, I am looking for a solution that can be directly implemented via the command line, rather than relying on a configuration-based approach. However, I am open to exploring any available options.

The Layout.ini File is Missing from My Prefetch Folder
Hello, I’ve observed that the layout.ini file is no longer present in the windowsprefetch directory and it is not being generated even when using the “Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks” command. This change might be due to relocating the collection folders from C:/ SSD to D:/HDD. Thank you.

How to List Details of Teams Apps
A question asked about filtering Teams apps based on their blocked status. The Teams admin center doesn’t support this kind of filter and getting details of Teams apps is surprisingly difficult. For instance, you can’t get a list of the 2,500+ apps shown in the Teams admin center. PowerShell cmdlets are available to list Teams apps, but they focus on apps known to a tenant rather than the entire catalog.

Appropriate Data Store
Hi all,
I am an ex-sql server dba now getting my hands dirty again and building a new system. I have been using azure sql which is working absolutely fine for the small datasets however I will be importing some timeseries data – I’ve imported around 77 million records a month. Azure SQL seems to be ok when appropriately indexed but when I imported the data into a Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool it seemed much faster out of the box. This is a relatively expensive solution though and Big Query probably offers a similar experience for cheaper (as claimed by google).
I haven’t seen much information online around Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pools so I’m wondering if that is an area microsoft is pushing in the future or if there a better alternative within Azure.
I want to continue to query the data via sql which i can with Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pools and also Big Query,
Any advice please?

How can I use the iswt2 from the wavelet toolbox with a different dwtmode?
The iswt2 is the inverse function of the swt2. In the swt2 the dwtmode is set to:

dealing with and / (windows vs. unix) for path definition.
Hi everybody,
Simple question, let’s say I’m using mac osx and some colleagues use windows… and I have to share a matlab script. Problem, this script needs to look in folder to load data files or print figures:
load ./data/data.mat
plot(data(:,1),data(:,2))
print -dpdf ./graph/figure.pdf
this is how it is written on unix system, but on windows I have to replace all the / by
load .datadata.mat
…
Is there a way to deal with that or the only way to make it works on both systems is to add a conditional statement like
if isunix
load ./data/data.mat
else
load .datadata.mat
end
thanks for any help,
cheers

How to add-in feature Open files on One Drive with other application
Hi Team
I am developing an electronic signature application. We now want to integrate it with OneDrive, and the concept is outlined below:
Users utilize OneDrive to manage their documents. They should be able to right-click or select multiple files and then choose “Open with other application,” which should support opening and navigating to my application. (You can refer to the SignNow application with Google Drive for an example.)
Based on my research, I need to follow these steps to achieve the idea:
Publish the application to appsource of microsoftUsers can install the add-in on OneDrive to use it as a feature for opening files with other applications

Enhancing Microsoft Build with MVP Insights and Excitement
It’s hard to believe, but it has already been two and a half months since this year’s Microsoft Build, where we highlighted the contributions of Microsoft MVPs in various roles in blog post Microsoft Build 2024 with MVP Communities – Microsoft Community Hub. Some people have taken the initiative to test new AI features themselves, while others have relied on community content to understand the latest technological advancements and consider how to apply them to their own businesses.
MVPs have been actively catching up with the newly announced information, writing blog posts and sharing insights on social media. They added a layer of excitement to the official releases by delivering valuable information to the community in their own words.

On Day 2, another four MVPs covered Microsoft 365, including Copilot, as well as the latest devices such as Copilot+ PC and Surface.
Tomokazu Kizawa participated as a speaker at a Microsoft-hosted event for the first time. Reflecting on his experience and the key messages he wanted to convey to the participants, he shared his thoughts: “From my perspective as a user outside of Microsoft, I focused on specifically conveying how new technologies like Copilot+ PC can positively impact daily life and work. Additionally, I aimed to highlight the positioning of Surface and the technological trends of Copilot+ PC not only from Microsoft’s standpoint but also within the broader PC industry, in order to generate more interest in Windows Devices.”

Appdesigner: Remove Simulink dependency
Hi everybody,
I have accidentaly added a Simulink component to my app and now I cannot compile it anymore.
I have the MATLAB compiler but not the Simulink compiler, to overcome the problem I have removed the simulink component but the dependency is still there, hence the appdesigner does not allow me to compile the app.
Is there any trick that I can use to fix this problem?
Best regards,
