How to enable Program has stopped working dialog? - windows-10

When apps crash, Windows used to popup a dialog box saying {Program} has stopped working with a Close button. I no longer see this dialog box on Windows 10. How do I get it back?
I thought perhaps I messed up some registry setting, so I downloaded a Windows 10 VM from Microsoft, crashed a program in the VM and I still didn't get a dialog box. So there must have been some change to Windows.
I tried tweaking the AeDebug registry key, but still couldn't get the dialog box back.
The reason I like the dialog box is because it tells me right away that some program has a problem that I can investigate further.

As described here, you need to set the Windows Error Reporting setting DontShowUI=0 with the Registry Editor or Group Policy Editor.

sounds a little dumb when i tell that but, when app stops working for me i usually press the left mouse button a lot in the windows (of the app) until it will display the message to end the process

How to debug problems with the Divio app?

I am trying to set up the Divio app on Win10 Pro.
I can launch the application, log in, select the workspace folder for my project, so the required dependencies should be fine.
However when I click on "Set up my project", then a new window is opened with a text "Preparing logs...", and an animated "hour-glass" appears next to the "Open Shell" button in the lower-left corner, but that's it. Everything hangs up at this point, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Restarted the computer and the app several times, but with same results.
Any ideas how to work out what is going wrong?
The Divio app is an Electron application, and uses Chromium for the interface.
You can invoke its Inspector as you would in Chrome itself, using command-option-i on Macintosh and control-shift-i on Linux and Windows.
The Inspector's Console tab will show any errors, and this will help understand what is happening internally. Typically, they will be errors related to the operating system in some way.

How to create a taskbar application similar to Touch Keyboard on Windows 8.1?

On Windows 8.1, if you right-click on the taskbar and point to Toolbars you can turn on Touch Keyboard, which makes a small image of a keyboard appear at the far right of the task bar just to the left of the notification area.
I want to develop an application that can make a presence here with a dynamically updating display of a time string (a count down application).
Can anyone advise if this is possible using C# .NET?
From various research I've discovered it is extremely difficult to determine exactly what Microsoft refer to this utility as. I have seen 'deskbar', 'deskband' and obviously it's under 'toolbars' in the task bar context menu. It also seems every major OS release changes the terminology and functionality completely. So bonus points if anyone can clear up what it's called on Windows 8.1 in addition to what term to research or MSDN article to read about developing an application that sits there.

Windows Server 2012 Interactive Services Detection does not work

I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 and I am running the program FireDeamon to run my game services, but upon clicking the pop-up message it'll just either bring me to a blue or black screen. I already tried setting the value in the registry to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\NoInteractiveServices=0 and rebooting the machine but this did not work, I even tried it twice.
So is there an clear and working solution for this issue? If not, could someone please provide me with a good working alternative for FireDeamon.

No "File Search" tab in Eclipse

I don't know how this happened, but the "File Search" tab disappeared from my Eclipse Search Dialog window, and don't know how to get it back! Here is a screenshot of how it looks like on my computer:
I have Eclipse Luna 4.4 and I'm running Linux, for that matters. Anyone knows how this could have occurred and whether it could be a bug in Eclipse or not?
Try removing plugins one by one and see if you can get to a point where it comes back. On my machine the eclipse-linuxtools plugin was somehow preventing the File Search tab from coming up.

The Debugger cannot continue running the process. Unable to start debugger

I have a Lightswitch 2012 application. It's been working fine for weeks. I made some changes and F5 stopped working. When I click on Start (toolbar) it gives this error message and does nothing.
"The Debugger cannot continue running the process. Unable to start debugging"
Note: It does compile file, it just doesn't run.
If I rollback to an earlier version then it works fine - i.e. it is solution specific.
Here is a video of the current version of my solution with the problem:
http://screencast.com/t/TD4RzLASO
and here is the previous version of the solution from earlier today (and no, I don't know what I changed). As you can see, at least it does something with F5 or Start:
http://screencast.com/t/wX5fRDPz
Rebooting doesn't help... ;)
Maybe you should select start up project which can be started.
Solution Explorer -> On your startable project right mouse click -> Set as Start up Project.
I had this situation when i unloaded my main lightswitch project and other project which is dll has been selected automatically and when i reloaded my main project "The Debugger cannot continue running the process. Unable to start debugging" exception was shown, because debuger was trying to load DLL.
Sometimes you need to start up a project which is compiled as a dll, for instance when testing WCF services.
To do so:
Projects -> 'Set Startup Projects...' -> Select 'Multiple Startup Projects' and set action to 'Start' for each one.
It's a pity you didn't recorded the whole screen, so I can't confirm, but I had the same error a few times...
When this happens, my "output panel" isn't visible and even I try to go on Menu -> View -> Output the panel don't appear.
I need to restart my Visual Studio 2013.
Then my output panel is visible again and everything works fine.
I discovered the cause was an extension which I installed on my Visual Studio.
I encountered this problem after removing some projects from the solution. I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact cause, but closing the solution, deleting the solution file, then opening the project and re-adding supporting projects solved the issue for me. Kind of a sledge hammer, but only takes a minute to do if you don't have a lot of projects.
Also, there are some people that uses a "One Click" Certification in your settings that you'll want to make sure its set up right, re-install or unchecked in-which this case was my problem. I finally got it working myself, but check that too just in case. Again this would be for most Visual Studio Versions only. Im 2013 Ult.
