Windows will sometimes refuse to start non-critical services on boot (eg. Pulseway), when resources are low. I've noticed a few Win7 machines have run for weeks without Pulseway being allowed to start. As the powershell cmdlet "Set-Service –Name –Computer -StartupType" doesn't seem to allow delayed-start, I'm using this script as a work-around. You'll need to manually stop the service before running this script and then manually re-start it afterwards. I have NOT thoroughly tested this script and I take no credit or responsibility for it - it is something that I poached and re-factored and I'm not experienced in PowerShell. Regards, Delay PC Monitor service s…

The Pulseway Automation contains the Builtin "Cleanup Temporary Files" powershell. I thought it might be worth a conversation. Here's the current code: $folders = @("C:\Windows\Temp\*", "C:\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\temp\*", "C:\Users\*\Appdata\Local\Temp\*", "C:\Users\*\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*", "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download", "C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT") foreach ($folder in $folders) {Remove-Item $folder -force -recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue} exit 0 I'm not sure it is worth removing the SoftwareDistribution\Download files? From what I understand in Windows 10 you have to run, net stop…

Hi, I am trying to automate the run of disk clean-up tool (cleanmgr) on my managed computers. I have created a script that prepares the "sageset" on computers and that seems to be working OK. The problem I am running into is that when I remotely launch the script/1-liner that executes the cleanmgr to effectively run the created sageset, it just hangs while using a certain percentage of CPU. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? prepare.sageset.ps1: this prepares the "sageset" in registry. I'm using sageset 0x0100. run.cleanup.ps1: this starts the "sagerun". It works just fine when executed manually from powershell but I'm running into the above-descrip…
