  1. Sorry to bring this back up, but managed to track down the issue, so if anyone else runs into it, here's the fix. Just had to set the following setting (image below, from "Pen&Windows Ink" submenu), and now it no longer pops up! Cannot believe how easy it was, albeit not makes any sense to me, since the other setting is "when the keyboard isn't attached"... and in both cases (laptop with integrated keyboard and a desktop) it was attached, and neither my laptop or PC have a "tablet" mode... Only disadvantage is that unlike in Windows 7, it no longer will show up anywhere else in a text field, but for my use case (taking class notes) it works.
  2. So have been using OneNote 2007 for the last 2 years, under Windows 7 on my PC and pen support (One by Wacom drawing tablet) worket perfectly. Now have Windows 10 on both my PC and laptop, however now any time I try to write anything this annoying pop-up appears and prevents me from entering hand-written text: I've tried removing Window ink workspace (using this tutorial) through registry to no avail, still the same exact behaviour, the other option of "Group Policy" doesn't even seem to exist on neither of my computers. Disabled all the pen "shortcuts" in the ink menu as well and allowed other programs to override them too. Interestingly, such behaviur did not appear in the Office 365 version, only in this one, so was wondering whether there is some setting that would allow certain programs to disable the windows Ink from being triggered? Obviously it makes sense to use it when you're trying to convert written to typed text, but I'm trying to enter hand-written text.
  3. If you had asked instead of going the piracy route, we could've just given you this
    https://www.froggie.sk/en/7lp64sp1.html
    Which would've allowed you to change Windows 7 home's language, without requiring Ultimate.
    Now you can't downgrade and stuck needing to either buy a cheap key on ebay or reinstall windows.

     

    Good luck with your future endeavors.

      Thank You. I sometimes wonder how much of an idiot I am.

  4. My secondary is a laptop which I use for university (got my Autodesk and Office suites on there since we get the education accounts), however have no way of copying files over as it is merely 256GB.
  5. Sooooooo long story short had the typical Ebay OEM key for Win7 Home Premium which was perfectly valid, decided to keygen my way to Win 7 Ultimate (I wanted to change my language setting from my mothertongue to english, as it was sometimes causing issues and generally it's easier for me to have all devices in same language). Got the fake ultimate key, pop it into "Windows Anytime Upgrade".... surprise, it works! PC upgrades OS, everythings fine... except when I go into "about PC" it says "3 days before automatic activation. Activate Windows Now", so I confidently paste the key once again... but this time it responds that the key is not valid, despite having allowed me to make the upgrade before. Alright, time to downgrade then, right? WRONG. Little did I know that downgrading is apparently impossible, and now I completely butchered my favorite OS and my main PC. So here's my question: what is possible to do now? Obviously Windows 7 is outdated, I know. But it's just so beautiful and easy to use that I cannot part ways from it not mention having had a working key registered to this computer. Is there a workaround to downgrade to Home without losing data? (My C drive is 1TB SSD that is 70% full, I literally have no way to copy it elsewhere, my secondary drive is a mere 500GB HDD that only has 100GB left so not an option to get files onto it either). I also have a few programs that are no longer available and/or I lost the installation files, plus some (SonicStage for my Sony NetMD recorder for instance) that are impossible to install on windows 10 (also my Canon printer driver refused to be installed on my laptop with a preinstalled win10, so that can also be problematic) Option 2: I have a Windows 10 Ultimate key that SHOULD work (if not, I have a Windows 10 home install DVD, but no key). If there is absolutely no way to get windows 7 working I'd obviously rather have a working PC even if it will be awful to use. How do I perform an upgrade without clean install if that is even possible anymore? I know, I have brough it on myself, and I fully recognise that I screwed up badly (and illegally), so any help will be much appreciated 人(_ _*) Best Regards, Dan
  6. Good Day. Having recently acquired a laptop "for engineering studies" it came with win10 preinstalled which was not favourable for my tastes but oh well. Having made it looks somewhat presentable to the eyes, one major issue remained: emojis. Having my desktop PC on Win7 I never had an issue with those as they never been a part of the system. This, unfortunately was not the case here, emojis being a default font on Win10. While I was able to disable the emoji panel and erase the font out of existence through registry (Discord no longer shows emojis in channel names for example and symbols don't get automatically replaced with emojis in programmes such as WordPad) Chrome seems to be very resilient and still shows them somehow (YouTube comments, webpages...), despite the font being (supposedly) erased and the emoji option on right-click disabled through Chromium flags. Is there a way to permanently eradicate those and show the system special characters&symbols instead? Pardon in advance if this is the wrong subforum for the question. Best Regards, syclone
  7. FFS, who even thought this is a good idea? I often have two windows side by side (with a 16:9 display) and this just kills me now. Hopefully someone with knowledge of code will make an extension or it would be posiible to edit code like with YT to switch back to the old design. Edit: Just tried DDG... speechless - so much customisation available
  8. And some thought my PC was ugly XD
