Spotify - No sound after pausing in Windows 10

I had a problem with Spotify on my notebook, connected with HDMI to my Pioneer receiver. I’m using Windows 10 with the 10586 Build. When I wanted to play music after I paused Spotify for a couple of minutes, the music doesn’t play again. So I created a small PowerShell script that kills all the Spotify instances, but it’s a workaround, not a solution: Get-Process *spotify | Stop-Process Solution Right click the Speaker in your taskbar. Click on “Sounds”. Go to the “Playback” tab and click on your audio device. Push the “Properties” button and go to the “Advanced” tab. Under “Exclusive Mode”, untick “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”.

Windows 10 - Intel Bluetooth can't connect to devices after reboot in TH2

Recently I had an issue with my work notebook, a Dell Latitude E6540. After upgrading to the new Windows 10 TH2 version, my Bluetooth keyboard and headset started couldn’t connect after a shutdown. I had to reconnect the Bluetooth devices again to temporarily fix it.

I realized that my “Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)” wasn’t up-to-date. ...

SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 - Make Windows 8.1 drivers supported on Windows 10 with PowerShell

I had an issue within my lab with deploying Windows 8.1 drivers to Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. It isn’t possible to make all Windows 8.1 drivers compatible with Windows 10 within the SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 console with just one click. Because I was running within a lab environment and I only had 2 driver packages for Windows 8.1 x64, I was able to make the drivers available for deployment to all platforms.
