Extend Windows Server trial

Windows

For local development I often need Windows server and I use trial version. As six months came through, I need to buy or extend it. Of course, I prefer to extend 🙂

Open PowerShell as administrator and execute the command:

slmgr -rearm

To continue the trial for your Microsoft Office, you can use OSPPREARM.EXE
cd %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
OSPPREARM.EXE

Virus like ‘Windows defender’ in Germany

Recently I met a new kind of screen locker while browsing. I could see it with Chrome and Edge in Windows 11.

But it’s not easy to close this window. I will write how to do it.

Add the application as a service at Windows Server

You can add the service with PowerShell. New-Service and Get-service are available in PowerShell 5, for 'Remove-Service' PowerShell >= 6 required. Otherwise you can use 'sc.exe DELETE MyMegaServiceApplication'. You should execute it with as an administrator. Not any application you can start a service. As a .Net developer, I usually create .Net solutions, in this case you should create application based on 'worker service' template in VS 2022 or any other IDE.
