I've tried to prevent Chrome from starting up when I reboot my mac.
There is no setting in the chrome settings to prevent this, It feels like Chrome is a computer virus, infecting my computer and ignoring user preferences.
I tried this but it doesn't work:
1) Start Chrome
2) Right-click the Chrome icon in the dock
3) Uncheck "Options > Open at Login"
In System Preferences, go to Users and Groups
Make sure to unlock (if needed) by putting in your credentials
Click on Login Items
I unchecked it (then later just pressed the minus symbol and removed it entirely)
After doing the above steps when you restart your computer, make sure you unclick "reopen windows when logging back in" as shown below. When I didn't do this step Chrome opened right back up upon restart, even though I had completely closed out of it prior to restart. you only have to do this once not every time you restart your mac.

Context: I have three web browsers installed on my Windows 10 computer which are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Problem: Whichever browser I newly open, they all start with this website:http://007eecfcfedlkh.jumpkj.chuairan.com/index.html
How it happened: I clicked a link on a website yesterday and it automatically downloaded several applications and automatically installed themselves without showing any instructions to install them.
Thing I have tried: I have reset the browser On startup setting to open my homepage, but it still opens with the aforementioned weird URL.
Thing that may help: Opera browser is very considerate cause it has this option regarding the On startup setting, which is Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL.
Analysis and need your help: Usually, I start a browser by clicking on the shortcut in Windows start menu, or the shortcut in desktop. This worked normally until the problem appeared. According to Thing that may help, this hostile URL must reside somewhere. Where can I find this unwelcoming shortcut on my computer? How come this shortcut can attach itself to every web browser on my computer? What is the next step I can do to resolve this problem? Is this kind of a virus?
Usually when that happens, you'll have to:
reset the browser settings (or at least reset the startup websites on settings)
go to the browser .exe, open it's properties and remove any flags that were added on the path.
I think you shoud uninstall these applications first.

I'm trying to set Chrome as my default browser on my MacBook Air OS Mojave 10.14.06, and actually I've managed to do it but then this happens which I don't understand why (Chrome as a default browser on Chrome settings and System Preferences but not in "Open with"), and from time to time is causing me interference with other applications when suddenly I try to open a .html file for example, and instead of opening it with Chrome, it goes to Safari and due to the authorized developers permissions, it can't open it.
I tried clicking on "Other" and then choosing Chrome as "Open always with this app" but it still remains on Safari as default.
Also, I already tried with Chrome settings, System preferences (as you can see on the screenshot) and "Get Info", but none did the job.
Does anyone know how to definitively change it to Chrome?
Thanks!
My Audio Service refuses to function properly. I have tried so many different solutions I can't even recall all of them.
Here's how it started; I got home from work one day to see my computer has no video signal but is turned on and receiving input from my mouse/keyboard. I force restart my computer and, after it boots up, I see that the Windows Audio Service is stopped.
I first try to use the task manager to start the service (Audiosrv) and it would blink at Starting then immediately go back to Stopped. From here I went to the Services window and tried starting it from there (Windows Audio) and, after trying to start, says Access Denied (Error 0x80070005).
So after searching a solution I went into regedit and was told to add System as a permission group for AudioSrv and the AudioEndpointBreaker service. Turns out they were already there with FULL CONTROL for both.
I try to change the logon to use Local System Account (WITH INTERACT DESKTOP CHECKED!) and voila, my audio service is running! But my bad luck continues.
None of my speakers/headphones are creating sound even though the service turned on and I can see all my devices. As an attempt I tried to do test sound, and this error appears.
Keep in mind I've restarted after every one of these fixes, both the service and my computer afterwards. As a final attempt I tried to open the Command Prompt as administrator and entered sfc /scannow . After verifying, this message appears.
I honestly have no clue what could've happened while I was working, but I'd rather not have to reinstall my windows to lose all my files.
Recap of my attempts to solve
Start the Audiosrv service from Task Manager (failed to start but keep in mind the EndpointBreaker service was running)
Opened services window and tried starting the Windows Audio service (Access Denied [Error 0x80070005])
Tried adding System as permission group for AudioSrv and AudioEndpointBreaker to find out both already had Administrators, my user, and System with full Control.
Changed login to local system account with interact desktop control checked and it fixed! Supposedly. THIS WAS THE FIX FOR 99% OF PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS
After realizing my sound wasn't playing but my devices/control was showing up, tried testing sound and received an error.
Last resort I did a sfc /scannow command and was given the response shown above.
What should and what can I do to get my audio running?
SIDENOTE
When I drag the volume slider [which usually creates a tone with the volume adjusted], the speakers/headphones meter on the Sound window do NOT light up green (in other words they aren't showing sound receiving on its end)
I resolved this issue after doing a system restore.
Add the Local Service in the Local Users and Groups
Right-click This PC or My Computer, depending on which version of Windows you have, and select Manage from the dropdown menu.
To the right, you will see a System Tools section. Double click Local Users and Groups, and select Groups beneath it.
Right-click Administrators in the list in the middle of the window, and select Add to group.. from the dropdown menu.
Click Add, then Advanced, and then click Find Now. Double click Local Service, and click OK. You should see NT Authority\Local Service in the list, click OK. Close the Computer Management window and reboot your device. Your problem should be solved.
Then in services.msc change logon to LOCAL SYSTEM.
If you dont permission to run Windows Audio:
key windows + Services
search Windows Audio
right click settings
login
Local system account and allow the service to interact with the desktop
save and run Windows Audio
I have a Surfacebook (first generation) running Windows 10 Enterprise and joined to my company's active directory domain. I'm not sure what happened (as best I can tell now updates were installed nor were any GPO applied), but I woke up to a machine that seems to have several core setting reset. All of my apps that were pinned to my Taskbar and Start Menu were gone, and my app auth tokens were reset, and the two powershell related shortcuts off the context menu of the Start button were no longer mapped to .lnk' files. I'm trying to get these powershell menu items working again and I'm having no luck.
Doing this:
Fails with:
This file was indeed gone. I don't know what removed this, but I recreated it:
But still it fails. I've checked the permissions, I own the directory and .lnk. I've rebooted and still it didn't work. Anyone know how to get this back to functional? And I would love to have a clue as to what might have caused all this to go haywire.
