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”.
I had some issues with the newest Windows ADK (1511) with Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1 CU2. As of yesterday, it’s possible to download the newest version of Configuration Manager: 1511.

I realized that my “Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)” wasn’t up-to-date. ...
During an Operating System Deployment in SCCM 2012 R2, new notebook models crashed after installing the driver package. I couldn’t see the BSOD code because I wasn’t able to boot the computer in safe mode, but after taking some pictures with my phone of the BSOD screen, I found out that the error code was 0x0000007e. The next step: how are you going to troubleshoot 160 drivers that you deployed to those models with your new driver package? ...
Welcome to this blog series about PowerShell profiles. I’m using PowerShell profiles for a couple of months now to make life a lot easier. To start this blog series, I would like to show you my Profile.ps1 file. It’s located in “C:\Users\\Documents\WindowsPowerShell”. Because I use my PowerShell profiles at multiple locations such as my work notebook, home computer and sometimes at projects, I need to make sure that my PowerShell script home is always right so that the rest of the PowerShell profile is able to load successfully. ...

After installing Windows 10 on my production device (with a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V VM as back-up, of course), I had an issue with the HDMI Audio of my Dell Latitude E6540 notebook. I found some topics online about setting the default format of the Audio device, such as sample rate and bit depth, but that doesn’t work for me. I had to reconfigure my Receiver + 5.1 Audio as “5.1 Surround”, instead of the default “Stereo”. ...
I was deploying Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 and the task sequence failed after “Installing device drivers” with error code 0x80070032 (or 80070032). The “Auto Apply Drivers” task works fine, but doesn’t install a lot of drivers. The smsts.log file: Dism failed with return code 50 Failed to add driver to driver store. Code 0x80070032 Failed to provision driver. Code 0x80070032 Exiting with return code 0x80070032 Solution: Make sure you’re using the latest MDT version, compatible with Windows 10. Make sure you’re using at least ADK 10. Check if your boot image has OS Version 10 or higher. If not, create a new boot image with MDT or ADK.
