January 16, 2022 at 8:18 pm in reply to: Multi Monitor Settings WMS for Thin OS 8.6 – Span mode not working as needed #106974
Turn off the span option unless you want the two screens to act as one wide screen. You already have multiple monitors enabled, so try without the span option enabled.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one that felt this way.
Yes, WMS gives you a pretty dashboard, and I’ve used it for a long time just to keep track of which terminals are at which site, but it was a surprise that the new clients we got with 9.0+ OS suddenly needed WMS to configure them instead of the tried and test ini file that I’ve been using (with modification obviously) flawlessly for the better part of 10 years.
With the bugs in 9.0+ OS, and the difficulties configuring, compounded by now working out of the office so being able to change and test easily is not possible, my users are getting very frustrated and starting to demand that they be replaced.
Even management is starting to think we’d be better off just buying laptops to replace them.Thank you for confirming that I am not alone in feeling like this.
That reminded me that we have had that problem before.
This time even with different power packs, heck different everything, they are still effectively just paper weights with an orange and blue LED on the front.
I had the same issue upgrading T10 (3010), 3030 and 3040 (most notably on the T10) with both 8.5_020 and 8.6_013.
Reverting these to 8.5_017, with no changes to network or wnos.ini, the issues were resolved.
I jumped in the forums to make sure I wasn’t the only one hitting this issue.
hmmm….maybe I should have been looking to fix this first from the log file…

I made a new local user on the computer and then added that user under the MMC. Gave that newly added user administrator access to everything through the MMC.
Hi,
yes I’ve tried that, originally I had tried with a domain account but just tested again with a local account.
Again if I use the correct Window’s password it gives me a “signing in” for a few moments and then fails, if I intentionally make it wrong it fails immediately.If I was to backup the DB uninstall WDM and reinstall and restore, what do you think my chances are that everything will be okay?
It’s a virtual machine, so I’ll back the whole thing up first, but that’s what I think I’m down to.
Hi,
I had it with both the OS_Web_v8.5_B012_3040_ENG and OS_Web_v8.5_B009_3040_ENG (which seems to be missing now from my locker now) both obtained from Dell’s Digital locker.
B012 version I only downloaded three days ago.
Nevermind, just found the option in the BIOS to boot from USB (which I could not find in the documentation) which allowed me to use the Wyse USB Imaging tool to pull from the good and put back on the bad.
