Windows 10 automatically applies a scale factor to UWP apps, to give a similar effective pixel size across multiple devices. I want my UWP UI to look the same across any screen of the same resolution, regardless of the scale factor. Is this possible? For instance, when running my app on the Hololens it applies a 150% scale factor. This means the UI looks squished when compare to a desktop screen of a similar resolution (1280x720). A suggestion ( How to disable auto-scaling on UWP mobile ) says to use TrySetDisableLayoutScaling on the ApplicationViewScaling Class . But this doesn't work. The

I have a Universal App that I'm sideloading in Windows10. I would like to create a script (Powershell, VBS, batch, etc) to pin it to the Start Menu. I have found many examples of how to write a script that pins a desktop application (like this one: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Script-to-pin-items-to-51be533c ).

There are no error messages, but the tile is not pinned to the

I have a "normal" Setup and a "Pro" Setup of the same application. They have many things in common, so I use an #include "CommonThings.iss" Both versions can be installed in parallel, because they have a different AppId . In the common definition, I have [Icons] Name: {group}\Online documentation; Filename: "http://example.com/" but only one of them shows up in the Windows Start menu: Looking at the file system under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Example C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Example Pro the Online Documentation Internet Shortcut is

we developed a driver and signed the cat and sys file with our company's Verisign signature (SHA1 + SHA256, including certificate chain). We tested it under Windows 7 and 10 both 32 and 64 bit versions. Now we have some random customers that report that our device is not recognized correctly in device manager and that error 52 shows up: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

I would like to create a simple toast notification using python v3.6 on Windows10 machine. I am using this python library. https://github.com/jithurjacob/Windows-10-Toast-Notifications/ I ran the code below; from win10toast import ToastNotifier toaster = ToastNotifier() toaster.show_toast("Hello World!!!", "Python is awsm by default!") All I get is an icon appearing at the bottom right. I don't see any message popping out. What are some possible things that can go wrong? Are there some configuration settings in Windows 10 that disabled the python toast notification? The screenshot below shows
