SSL Certificate

The fastest and effective way to build your online security is to add an SSL security certificate. This level of encryption allows you to secure exchanges between your server and visitors.

Directory Tree and folder names

When it comes time to choose your password, avoid “admin” and choose an alphanumeric password that you change regularly.

Firewall

A firewall is the first line of defense between the Internet and your server. There are as many versions of software than hardware that makes this work. We nevertheless suggest the WAF (Web Application Firewall). They are deployed in front of your server as a gateway, restricting bad web traffic and filtering your network. There are very useful against DDOS attacks. This solution provides for a few dollars a month, the peace of mind!

Taskbar or Start menu blocked on Windows 10

Nothing is more frustrating!

You start your computer with Windows 10 and you realize that the “Start Menu” button, sound control and other icons in the task bar are no longer accessible.

This situation happened a few months after the upgrade to Windows 10 on some of our I7 computers and servers.

If this happens to you, here’s the solution that solved everything without having to reinstall Windows 10 or recover a system image:

Method :

1. Right-click the Start Menu button and stop your choice on “Command Prompt (admin)”

2. Write “powershell” and press “Enter”

3. Then write this in powershell window and press “Enter”:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

4. Allow the process to complete and after, you should have control again on your taskbar or after a restart.

Of course, the start menu icons must be re-organized but at least you do not have to suffer to reinstall your Windows!
