How to enable hibernate option in Windows 10

Hibernate is a good option if you are doing something important and due to some reason you want to turn off your computer but don't want to loose the active screen and other tasks in your computer. Because instead of turning off your computer, if you take it to the hibernate mode, you can get all the things back on the screen as it was before.
By default, hibernate option is not enabled in windows 10 but it is still there in Windows 10. All we need to do is just enable it so that it can appear with the power options. So let's see how to enable hibernate option in Windows 10:

Microsoft has already pushed it's Windows 10 upgrade to the users of Windows 7/8.1 and if we take a look in the microsoft community sites, users are upset about it because whether you want it or not, microsoft wants to you install this upgrade in your computer by forcefully pushing it through windows updates. Several users have reported that their PC crashed after installing this update and they have lost their files because they had to do a clean install of their Windows OS.
Later on, Microsoft said that the upgrade was pushed by mistake and they are working on it to make sure that it doesn't get installed automatically in the PCs of users. But now it seems that they are not leaving any option for the user, it's like "Get it now or you'll get it tonight".

If you don't want to use a third party tool, then there is one more way to disable this upgrade using a registry tweak but the registry tweak might not stop this upgrade for long time so it will be better if you use the tool "GWX Control Panel".

1. Disable windows 10 auto upgrade and remove GWX icon from taskbar using registry tweak:

• Open run by pressing windows and R keys together.
• Type regedit and click OK.
• Registry editor will be opened. Now navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx"

• That's it. Exit from the windows registry and restart the computer.

How to fix flickering screen issue in Windows 10

Hey guys! Windows 10 has really been a hit among all the operating systems by Microsoft. Microsoft is providing Windows 10 to all of its genuine users of Its previous operating systems (Windows 7/8/8.1) free of cost. Although it seems that all the users who got their free upgrades are happy with their new OS but most of the users are reporting so many problems with their upgrade. Among all the emerging issues, the most common issue among them is "Screen flickering issue". Users are complaining that after upgrading their computers to windows 10, screen is flickering and they are not able to do anything with their OS. Manufacturers are suggesting them for a clean install of their old OS and after waiting for hours in call queue, customers are not getting any satisfactory solution from Microsoft support team also.
After handling lots of cases related to screen flickering issue, I noticed that this issue is common among the users who have AMD or NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards installed in their computers. So most of the times, updating the drivers for these graphics cards resolved the issue. But I was looking for a solid way to fix this issue that works with all the computers which has screen flickering issue. So I did some researches and explored the windows services and found an idea that if I disable the service that reports errors in windows, will I be able to resolve this issue? And surprisingly it worked for about 80% of the tests. In 20% of the tests, the issue was with some non compatible drivers which were fixed by uninstalling the driver or disabling the device from device manager. So, I'm explaining the method to fix this problem for almost any computer:

This is the method which worked for me most of the times. Follow the steps:
1. Just turn on your computer and when you login to the computer, press ctrl+shift+esc keys together to open task manager.
2. Now click File and then click Run new task option.
3. Run the task msconfig.
4. Now click Services tab and uncheck "Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel Support" and "Windows Error Reporting Service" services.
5. Click Apply and then OK.
6. Computer will prompt to restart, simply allow it to restart the computer.
7. Now your computer will be rebooted and after restarting the computer, you will see that screen flickering error has gone.

UPDATE 1:
Finally, I have got the exact reason for the flickering screen issue.The culprit is, NORTON ANTIVIRUS. Yes, if you are using Norton Antivirus in your computer and you are going to upgrade your computer to Windows 10, you will face this screen flickering issue. So, before upgrading your computer to Windows 10, uninstall Norton Antivirus and then upgrade.

UPDATE 2:
So many users have reported that they are unable to type "msconfig" at the flickering screen. After typing M, they are unable to type rest of the characters. So here is the easiest solution for you:
1. Press ctrl+alt+delete keys OR windows+L keys together to go to the lockscreen.
2. Now press and hold the shift key and while holding the shift key, click on the power icon in the right bottom corner of the screen and click RESTART.
3. Now you should see a new menu that has Continue and Troubleshoot options. After getting this menu, release the shift key and click TROUBLESHOOT option.
4. Now click Advanced Options
5. Now click STARTUP SETTINGS and RESTART.
6. Your computer should restart now, and on the next screen you should see some startup settings options. Press key 5 from the keyboard to boot into safe mode with networking.
7. When computer is turned on in safe mode, open msconfig and disable the services as mentioned in the main article and restart your computer. It will fix the flashing screen issue.

Windows 10 Reservation Icon is Missing : Possible Ways to Fix It

On July 29th 2015, Microsoft released Windows 10 operating system which is the best and last operating system by Microsoft. All the genuine users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will get Windows 10 as a free upgrade. If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you will get windows 10 reservation icon in the system tray which will help you to reserve and upgrade your current OS to Windows 10 without paying anything.
Many users have already updated their OS and reserved for the free upgrade to Windows 10 but still there are some users who are not getting windows 10 reservation icon in their system tray although they are the genuine users of Windows OS. So, here I'm writing a tutorial which will cover all the possible ways to fix the issue of not getting windows 10 reservation icon.

Problems that might cause the missing "Get Windows 10" app in your computer:

1. You must be using a genuine and activated copy of Windows OS. If you are using pirated copy of Windows OS, then you will not get the windows 10 reservation icon.
2. Windows 7 must be updated to Windows 7 SP1 to get the icon and Windows 8 users must upgrade their OS to Windows 8.1 to get the Windows 10 reservation icon.
3. Your system must be compatible to run Windows 10. If your computer is not compatible for Windows 10, you will initially see the windows 10 reservation icon but later it will be disappeared automatically. But it is expected that the missing icon due to system incompatibility will start appearing again after July 30th.
4. Make sure that you have installed all the automatic updates. If not, you will not see the windows 10 reservation icon.
5. If you are using old version of Internet Explorer in windows 7, you will not get the windows 10 reservation icon. So install IE11 and then run the automatic updates to get the windows 10 reservation icon. If IE is disabled in your computer, re-enable it from "Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows features On or Off".
6. If you are using Windows 7/8 Enterprise or RT editions, you will not get Windows 10 reservation icon.
7. If your computer is a part of a domain network, you will not get the Windows 10 reservation icon.

If you have checked all the 7 points mentioned above and found that you are eligible for windows 10 free upgrade and still you are not able to find your windows 10 reservation icon, follow the methods given below to get it:

1. Show all icons in the notification area of the taskbar:
It might be possible that you have got the Windows 10 reservation icon but that is hidden. Show make all the notification area icons visible, right click in the system tray and select "Customize notification icons" and from the new window that opened after clicking this option, check "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" and then click OK.

2. Enable "Get Windows 10" using registry editor:

1. Open registry editor using regedit run command.
2. Find the following key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
3. Under Windows key, create a new key and rename it to GWX. So we will get a new path i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX
4. Now select the GWX key and in the right side, create a new DWORD and rename it to DisableGWX and set its value to 0.

5. Now open the following path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators and in the right side panel, make sure that the values of UpgEx and UpgExU are set to Green, if not, set them to Green and also make sure that the Genuine string is set to 1. If you can't find the key and strings create them manually and restart your computer.
If you see another key named Reduced, then it means that Windows 10 app is running in reduced mode and it will appear automatically after Windows 10 launch date. You may try to delet the key and check the effect.

3. Locate and Run Windows 10 reservation app manually:
Open C:\Windows\System32\GWX folder and run the GWX.exe file manually. You should run the following commands in command prompt with admin rights:
C:\Windows\System32\GWX\GWXConfigManager.exe /RefreshConfig
C:\Windows\System32\GWX\GWX.exe /taskLaunch

4. Uninstall and install required KB files manually:
KB3035583 file is required to bring windows 10 reservation icon in the system tray. You may try to uninstall and reinstall it. Uninstall it using the following command in run:
WUSA /Uninstall /KB:3035583
and then restart the computer. Then install the update by downloading the files from the link given below:
Download KB3035583 For All OS

After trying all the steps, if you didn't get the windows 10 reservation icon in your system tray, download and run the following scripts with admin rights, that should work:
Script 1
Script 2

I hope this tutorial will help you to fix the windows 10 reservation icon missing issue. Keep visiting for more tips and tricks.

How to create run commands for any application in windows

Hi guys, it's been a long time I posted any article related to windows. Actually I'm very busy these days and hardly getting some time to write on my blogs. Well, leave it. Let's come to the point.

In your daily life, you might be using so many applications frequently and might have created shortcuts for them on your desktop. But I have noticed that few people are addicted to use run commands to open some particular apps such as MS Word, Excel etc. So, here I'm gonna tell you how to create run commands for any file which you want to use. Just follow the steps below:

• First of all, choose any application you want to create run command for.
• Now create a shortcut for that application on your desktop. You may give it any name. In my case, suppose I want to open Adobe Reader using run command and I wish the word "ar" to be run command to open Adobe Reader. So first I'll create a shortcut for Adobe Reader and rename it as "ar", remember that it is an application with the extension .exe

Get WhatsApp calling feature without root and download apk

WhatsApp calling feature is trending these days and everyone is trying to get it. But as I posted in my previous posts, to get whatsapp calling feature you have to root your phone and do some coding work on terminal emulator to enable whatsapp call feature. But that trick was very limited because if you close the terminal emulator, the calling feature gets lost.
So, I am back with a new trick to modify whatsapp apk file to enable calling feature without rooting the phone. After modifying the code, we will recompile the modded apk file and will use it in our phone. So, let's start the tutorial:

1. First of all, download the complete package of files required for this process. DOWNLOAD LINK
2. Now after downloading the package, extract it using winrar.
3. Now in the extracted folder, you will get New Modded WhatsApp, apktool files, SignApk, readme and whatsapp. Now lets start the process.
4. Now make sure that java development kit is installed in your computer. If not, then download the Java JDK from THIS LINK and install it in your computer. You need to install notepad++ also, so download and install notepad++ from THIS LINK.
5. After installing JDK in your computer, let's configure it. Open control panel and search for "variable" keyword. From the search results, click "Edit the system environment variables".

6. Now "System Properties" window will be opened. Click "Environment Variables" button
7. Now search for "Path" under system variables and select it. Then click "Edit".
8. Now add a semicolon ( ; )  at the end of the variable value and then add the path of your JDK bin directory. In my case, it is "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin". But use your own system path for JDK bin folder because the java version may be different in your system. Now finally, add another semicolon at the end of the variable value and click OK in all the windows. See the screenshot below for better understanding.

8. Now to check whether java is working in your computer, open command prompt and type the following code and press enter: javac -version
9. If java is working properly, you should see the java version installed in your computer.

10. Now after installing JDK in our computer, let's start decompiling WhatsApp.apk file.
11. Create a new folder "apktool" in C: drive and then extract the downloaded "apktool files.zip" file. You will get three files, "aapt.exe", "apktool.bat" and "apktool.jre", copy these three files into C:\apktool folder which you created recently.
12. Now copy and paste the whatsapp.apk file from downloaded folder to C:\apktool folder.
13. Now open command prompt and type cd.. command until you get to the root directory of C: drive.
14. Now type cd apktool command to select the apktool directory.
15. Now type apktool if whatsapp.apk command and press enter key. By running this command, you will install the framework in your computer.
16. Now type apktool d whatsapp.apk and press enter. This command will start decompiling your apk file. Wait until the decompilation gets completed.

17. After decompilation has been completed, open C:\apktool folder and you will see a new folder named "whatsapp". Just open that folder and right click on "AndroidManifest.xml" and open with notepad++.

18. Now search for the following code:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:hardwareAccelerated="false" android:name="com.whatsapp.Main">
           <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

and replace the whole code with the following code:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:hardwareAccelerated="false" android:name="com.whatsapp.Main"/>

19.Now search for the following code:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.App.Home"/>

and replace it with following code:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.App.Home">
   <intent-filter>
              <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER"/>
         </intent-filter>
     </activity>

20. Now save the xml file and close notepad++
21. Let's compile the new whatsapp apk file. Open command prompt again and then type the command apktool b whatsapp This command will start building the apk file as shown in the image below.

22. When building of apk file will be finished, you will find a new folder named "dist" in "whatsapp" folder. Open that folder and you will find your new whatsapp apk file. But still this file is not ready to use because we need to sign this file.
23. Create a new folder in C: drive and rename it as "signapk". Now open the downloaded folder and extract the signapk.zip file. You will get 3 files, "signapk.jar", "certificate.pem" and "key.pk8". Copy these three files and paste them in the signapk folder you created in C: drive.
24. Now copy the newly compiled whatsapp.apk file from C:\whatsapp\dist folder and paste into C:\signapk folder.
25. Now open command prompt and again use cd.. command to reach the root drive and then type the command cd signapk to select the signapk directory.
26. Now type the command java –jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 whatsapp.apk whatsappnew.apk and press enter key.

27. Now when the apk will be signed, you will get the final whatsappnew.apk file in the folder signapk. Copy that whatsappnew.apk file to anywhere to use it in your phone.

28. Now clear cache and data and uninstall any previous version of whatsapp from your mobile and install the new whatsapp we build recently.
29. After installing the new whatsapp, launch it, register your phone number etc and after setting it up, close the app.
30. Now restart your phone and then open whatsapp. You will get your calling tab ready.

NOTE : If you don't like this coding stuff and are not a geek, then I have added the final signed apk file in the download package. Just open "New Modded WhatsApp" folder and use the whatsappnew.apk file given inside that folder.

UPDATE #1
Whatsapp has now closed the beta testing in India and now you can't call after installing the modded app also. You will not see the contact list in calling tab. But there is still a way to enable the calling but unfortunately you will have to root your phone because we will have to add the 2 lines of code in the whatsapp reference file which is installed in the root. So here is how you can use the call feature in whatsapp:
1. Root your phone and then install "ES FILE EXPLORER" from playstore.
2. Now open ES File Explorer and from its menu, enable root access and allow the root permissions.

3. Now navigate to the path "/data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/" and open com.whatsapp_preferences.xml file in ES File Editor.

4. Now, edit the xml file and below the <map> tag, add the following code:

<boolean name =”call” value=”true”/>
<string name=”call_allowed”>all</string>

5. Now save the xml file and close ES File Explorer

6. Now go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp and force stop whatsapp. Then open whatsapp again and you will be able to see a new dial button while chatting with your friends and will be able to see the contact list after tapping add contact button of whatsapp.
