Can't add a picklist to a form - dynamics-crm-2011

I've created a field picky but when I try to actually put in onto the form of my entity, I can't. I'm pulling it out hovering over a place to set it but the red line marking the drop-off spot doesn't show.
I remember very clearly it did in my last Project. In fact, I went back to the previous customer's GUI and tried the same and it worked there. I suspect it might have to do with the different versions. The customer runs on-premise (4.0 or 2011), the new project is on-line (2011) and I wonder how it's going to be in the next version (2013).
What can be causing it?
What can I do about it?

Incompatibility in IE 10.
(a) Run IE9/IE8 (works always).
(b) Try to run IE10 in backwards compatibility mode (works often).
(c) Wait for an update for CRM/IE10 (works slowly and seldom).
As a side note, I can tell that when I was having that issue, I noticed that by using a remote desktop to our development environment (or at least a virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox, wouldn't you have access to an external environment), one could omit the whole issue sans having to degrade to an earlier version of IE.

pgAdmin 4 - preferences settings not applied

I'm using pgAdmin 4 (v. 6.12) on Windows 10.
Since (I believe) version 6.10 I've noticed that autocomplete always shows up. I tried to change preferences settings to only show it on Ctrl + space:
But it made no difference - autocomplete is always shown.
Then I've noticed, that some other settings are not respected, for example insert bracket pairs:
This is how editor looks just after typing opening bracket:
This is very annoying. I've completely removed previous installation of pgAdmin: uninstalled it, deleted all files and folders with pgAdmin in name and did the same in Windows registry. But new installation behaves the same.
New installation was made only for my user account, not for Anyone who uses this computer option.
Like you, I was also unable to turn off autocomplete-on-type after installing 6.12.
When using the web client, I was able to log out and log back in to solve it.
UPDATE from comments: using the Windows application, Adam was able to clean session data from the registry, open the editor window, change settings, close editor window, change settingsā€¦ And it started to work again.
More details...
It happened to me in Ubuntu when I first upgraded to 6.12 and restarted the server, while the client was connected. The web client appears to have held on to a session that at first seemed to work. Once I logged out and log back in, my autocomplete-on-type OFF setting was respected again.
I agree that this bug is completely frustrating. I'm not sure why anyone would want the autocomplete-on-type setting enabled, pgadmin4 is unusable with it on.

Excel form using DTPicker2 control is broken on single machine after moving to Win10

I have an Excel file that contains VBA code and user forms.
One machine has been migrated to Windows 10. The Excel major version hasn't changed though (16). One of the forms lost almost all the controls on it and the user is getting
Compile error: Method or data member not found
at the line Me.cmbWeek.ListCount.
It looks as if this control is not existent in the file on that machine. I wouldn't say it is Windows10 incompatibility as some other machines migrated to Windows 10 flawlessly.
How can I debug what's wrong? The file has worked for years on several machines including the machine of this user (until on Win10). Checked references and there's nothing missing.
The form on user's machine (broken).
The form on on all other users' machines (proper).
I cross-posted to other forums:
excelforum.com
mrexcel.com
ozgrid.com
We managed to trace the problem to the DTPicker2 control on the form. It is part of MSCOMCT2.OCX library. It is present on user's machine, the same as on mine. That machine is version SP4 of the file whereas all other machines have SP6.
I can see that Excel reference points to some other destination than C:\Windows\SYSWOW64 - it points to other app's install path. Probably other app changed something in the registry.
When trying to uncheck the SP4 reference and load SP6 reference I get error
"Can't change references, in use".
Reinstalling office and registering MSCOMCT2.OCX did not help. As it's only two controls causing the issue - or so it seems - I'm now into replacing them with other date picker controls if there are any. If not, I might even use plain textboxes, though it wouldn't be very good solution. Are there any other controls that could handle calendar?
Do check if the region settings on the PC with Win10 the same as on the older PC's.
Changes in date formats, dots vs comma's, etc. can hugely impact VBA's ability to tinker company processes together.

System crashes while using clearcase 8.0.1.x /9.0.1.x (checking out files) on windows 10 (1803) platform

After upgrading system to Windows 10 - os 1803 we are getting below issues while working with ClearCase 8.0.1.x/9.0.1.x
Unable to checkin/checkout.
Not able to create views.
Not able to add any file to source control.
The system hangs & crashes while performing any ClearCase operation.
There is no error message, but I have attached screenshot for reference.
Please let us know if there is any issue with the Windows 10 ver(1803), any security system enabled?
Or has ClearCase provided any fix?
We have tried 9.0.1.5 and issue still persists.
This is what we got from windows event log.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.
The bugcheck was:
0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000004, 0x00000000535be990, 0x000000000004efd3, 0xfffff803e01848b1)
for most of them whoever has upgraded to windows 1803 ver :( for people who are still using ver1709 it is working perfectly fine
Then I would recommand contacting IBM support: only them can update their ClearCase 9/Windows 10 compatibility matrix and confirm if MVFS is supported on a more recent (1803) Windows 10 edition.
We also facing same problem and I have raised the case with IBM. Still not yet resolved. As IBM said there are some limitations to work ClearCase with windows 10 and windows 2016.
We tried all the options except Secure boot disable. If possible please do disable secure boot option in Windows 10 and try to checkin/checkout code from CleraCase
Note : It works for Snapshot views. That means the issue related to MVFS
I'm seconding #VonC's recommendation to open a ticket with IBM. When you do that, save a step and collect a clearbug2 and a kernel memory dump to send in as soon as the case is opened. It will save the turn-around time of us asking you for it. If the installed programs list doesn't list installed security software (DLP, Privilege management sw like Avecto, other endpoint security tools), please list those separately as well.
I would also love to know who # IBM told you there are "limitations" with Win10-1803.
There are a few issues with Windows 10 "version upgrades" breaking things, but they generally don't cause system crashes. Windows 10 upgrades are actually full OS installs that then (imperfectly) migrate application settings. Anything that uses custom network providers (ClearCase is one example) will find that the network providers will be broken or partially broken. Reinstalling is usually required. Again, that has not yet been reported as a cause of a BSOD.
If the upgrade/reinstall didn't fix view creation, please post a separate question on the view creation issue. There may be things we can do to the SMB 2 caches to allow view creation to work in cases where the view storage is not on the client host.
I noticed that the screen shot you posted is a Terminal Services disconnect screenshot. Does the issue only occur over a Terminal Services client connection or does it also happen on a local connection?

Error loading extension with localization

My nw.js app suddenly stopped working on Windows 10 with the following error;
Failed to load extension from {path}. Default locale is defined but default data couldn't be loaded.

I don't know what windows has changed recently but it has been working solidly on previous versions of Windows for years. I've updated the country tag as per available language packs for windows here and chromium tags but still no luck.
According to this thread :
"I use Chrome and stopped updating it once they made tabbed-options
mandatory. I also keep my User Data folder in a non-default location.
When this bug started, I used the --single-process trick for a while
but as mwalsher said, it stopped working when they messed with the Web
Store. I used but hate the manual method outlined above, so what I did
was to simply move my User Data folder to a FAT32 partition. Problem
solved; now I can successfully install packed extensions from an older
version of Chromium, running in normal mode, to a non-default User
Data folder. Even better, thanks to a system I set up
(http://superuser.com/questions/196886/how-to-relocate-chrome-profile-but-also-make-new-links-open-with-the-relocated-p/257706#257706),
it was /extremely/ easy to change it (I had only to change a single
byte and reboot)."
..
"Change the security permissions of the temp directory might fix this
problem. On my computer, the temp directory only has 3 full control
user (My Account, System, Administrators) at beginning. I manually
give everyone full control to this folder (maybe adding list
permission only also works). However it doesn't work immediately,
until next day I restart the computer with great surprise.
..
As a workaround, --no-sandbox might work. Note that this is just as
unsafe as --single-process, so be careful when using it.

perform a "chrome://restart
Try this first:
..I restarted Chrome and tried to install it again, and now it
installed cleanly..

FileSystemWatcher no longer has old filename in some Windows 7 machines

This one is too bizarre for me. In my Framework 4.0 WinForms app, FileSystemWatcher recently started giving me a null for OldName and only the parent folder for OldFullPath, not the full path of the old filename. However, some of the Windows 7 computers do this while others do not. I tried uninstalling our company anti-virus program temporarily but that didn't make any difference. I rolled back my code but it didn't make any difference.
I tried switching my application from Framework 4.0 to 4.5.2 but the problem persisted. In fact, I believe the problem is at a lower level than .NET because I wrote a test C++ program that uses ReadDirectoryChangesW() and a similar problem occurs: the problem computer never receives the FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_OLD_NAME notification, only the FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_NEW_NAME one.
I compared running processes and ended ones that are running on the problem computer but not on the non-problem one. Both computers are up to date with Windows Updates; I am hoping not to have to start uninstalling them.
I have one Windows 8 computer and the problem is not there; however, upgrading from 7 to 8 is not an option for several other deployments.
It just occurred to me to look at kernel32.dll on the respective machines, since that is where ReadDirectoryChangesW() lives. It's different.
Worky: v6.1.7601.18798
No worky: v6.1.7601.18869
Was there a recent change to the API that I need to accommodate?
Update: I found a non-working machine with v6.1.7601.18409 so that's not the problem.
In a word, Kaspersky.
To elaborate, I thought I had already tested removing KAS but maybe I didn't reboot after or something, and it's odd because it is also installed on a computer at work that does not present the problem--same version of KAS.
Note that this version is a corporate version, which installs:
Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows
and
Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent
A central policy is pushed out to each client computer and enforced. It has control over settings, like trusted applications (a whitelist). When IT pushed out a whitelist entry for my specific application, it fixed the problem.
Note that there are several checkboxes to select for each trusted application entry. This fix only needed one of them.
Under Settings | Anti-Virus protected | Exclusions and trusted applications | Settings, there is a list that can be added to.
Do not scan opened files
X Do not monitor application activity
Do not inherit restrictions of the parent process (application)
Do not monitor child application activity
Allow interaction with application interface
Do not scan network traffic
Honourable mention must go to my co-worker, Arti Chauhan, who suggested more than once that KAS might be the problem. I thought I had fully tested when I guess I hadn't.
