Internet Monitoring for Parents Guide - Choose Software to Help You Monitor and Protect Your Kids

May 08, 2019 0


Children are getting started with smartphones and tablets at an earlier age than ever. It's not uncommon for kids to experience problems like cyber-bullying. Unfortunately, cyber predators are not going away. At the very least, parents will want to seek internet monitoring tools to prevent their kids from viewing undesirable websites. There are a variety of programs that offer internet monitoring for parents. How do you know which one is ideal for your family?


Most devices usually do come with some type of parental controls, but not all of the ones you will need. It will be easier to have one program that will allow you to create profiles for all of your kids on every single device in the family, including PCs, Macs, tablets, smartphones, Kindle, and even gaming systems.


One very important feature that all parents really want is location tracking. The top programs will allow you to track your child's location, or at least have an idea of where they are and where they have been throughout the day. The best program even allows children to send parents "Panic Alerts" just in case they are ever in a potentially dangerous situation.


Social networking sites are where most kids spend their time on the internet. Sites such as Facebook are also where a lot of cyberbullying takes place. Internet monitoring for parents can help protect kids from experiencing trouble on these sites. You can even limit the amount of time your kids spend on social networks if you are concerned that they are spending too much time at such sites.


Ease of Use of Internet Monitoring for Parents

Ease-of-use is another extremely important consideration. As mentioned above, you'll definitely want a central panel that you can log into for access to everything, including each child's profile. It should be easy to set up the rules and restrictions for each child and to monitor what they are doing.


Depending on the software you're using, you might be able to control what apps each child is installing on each device. Set limitations on app store purchases if you have a teen who is spending too much money. This is also useful if you are concerned that younger children might make accidental purchases.


There should be different pricing plans for families of varying sizes. For instance, if you only have one child then you probably won't need to monitor 10 devices.


Qustodio offers three different pricing plans for 5 devices, 10 devices, and 15 devices. It's a top-rated choice for internet monitoring for parents. It offers priority support and 30 days of usage history per device. A Premium Account is definitely worth investing in, and promo codes are often available.


Take a look at Qustodio promo codes and learn more about the premium plans for internet monitoring for parents. Whether you have just one child or several, there is a good plan for your family. Parents and educators can even sign up for a free account to learn more. There are a lot of positive Qustodio reviews by parents who are happy with the tools.

How To Repair NET Framework In Windows 10

May 07, 2019 0


NET Framework is a free application which has now been incorporated into the core Windows package.
Introduced in the late 90's, as a means to standardize application development across different versions of Windows, it lies at the core of a large number of the most important Windows features.
Unfortunately,.NET framework has been known to cause a large number of errors/problems for many years.


Whilst it doesn't generally cause the problems itself, it's often as a result of poor integrations or similar, that they appear.
If you've been recommended to "re-install" or "repair".NET, the following tutorial should help.


Note - .NET cannot be removed.

Because it's such an integral part of the Windows ecosystem, it's actually impossible to "remove" the.NET framework from later versions of the system.
Whilst you're at liberty to update, repair and manage it - removing it doesn't work.
As such, if you're experiencing problems, you need to be sure that you have the latest version and that it's correctly running on your system.
To do this, you need to follow the steps below:


1. Run The Verification Tool


  • The first step is to run Microsoft's.NET verification tool.
  • This is a free piece of software which basically checks for any issues that may be present with.NET.
  • You're able to download it by searching for ".NET Verification tool" online, and clicking the first link (it should be a Microsoft web page).
  • After downloading the tool, run it.
  • If you don't know which version of the.NET framework you're running, just select.NET version 4.
  • It *should* be the case that the framework should verify (it only really checks to see if the correct files are on the system).
  • If there are any issues, it will give you an error code which you need to check online... otherwise, continue below.



2. Run The.NET Repair Tool


  • After doing step 1, you may need to "repair" any of the issues that.NET has.
  • To do this, you should run the.NET repair tool.
  • This is another tool created by Microsoft, and essentially allows you to clean up any of the problems that Windows may have with its.NET installation.
  • Like the verification tool above, you can find it by clicking onto your favourite search engine and looking for ".NET repair tool".
  • Click on the first Microsoft link - it should present a page with a big orange button.
  • Once you've clicked the button, download the application to your system and run it.
  • Follow the steps on screen and restart your PC once completed.



3. Upgrade.NET

If the above didn't work, you may want to try updating the framework.
This basically overrides any of the files that may be problematic anyway, allowing you to clean up any errors it may have.
To do this, you will need to do the following:

  • Search online for ".NET latest download"
  • You should be presented with a Microsoft webpage
  • This page can have 2 choices - ".NET Core" & ".NET Framework"
  • Click on "Download.NET Framework Runtime" under the.NET Framework option
  • Save the file to your PC
  • Open it and run it
  • It will either tell you if you have the latest version, or prompt you to proceed
  • If you can proceed, follow the steps and restart your system



4. Reinstall.NET In "Windows Features"

Lastly, you may be able to remove the feature from Windows Features.
To do this, you need to follow these steps:

  • Press "Windows" + "S" keys on your keyboard
  • Type "Programs and Features"
  • Select the first option (in Windows 10, there may be an option for "Turn Windows features on or off" - which you should click)
  • Click onto "Turn Windows features on or off" from the left menu
  • From the list, identify ".NET 4.7"
  • Uncheck the box
  • Click "OK"
  • Restart your system
  • Open the applet again, and this time check the box
  • Windows should perform some installation processes
  • Once complete, restart your system again
  • Test to see if it worked


If you're still experiencing issues after following the above, you will need to ensure that any of the applications your system is running are operating correctly. This can typically be achieved by re-installing them.


If you're out of your depth and are in need of specific support, there are a number of communities online who may be able to help - Reddit, SuperUser and Microsoft Answers being 3 of the most popular. On top of that, you have paid support, which can be found either through Google, locally or on Fiverr.

How To Fix Error 0x80240034 in Windows 10

May 07, 2019 0


The 0x80240034 error with Windows 10 is caused by Windows Update being unable to download the various files it requires to perform the updates that Windows requires.
The error is specifically known as the "WU_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILED" error, basically meaning that the system didn't download the correct "Windows Update" files.
The resulting issue means that your system is unable to manage the updates that are required to run, leading the system to exhibit erroneous behaviour.
To fix the problem, you essentially need to resolve any of the core issues preventing Windows Update from downloading the appropriate files - this comes in the form of having the ability to fix the likes of the Windows Update service, as well as being able to repair any of the underlying software applications integrating with Windows.
The message for the error will generally show as follows:
Failed to install - 0x80240034


The causes of the error will typically be:

  • Internet connection issues
  • Microsoft Update server errors / problems
  • Error with the update payload itself
  • Another miscellaneous error with the update (perhaps virus / third party software issue)
  • The way to solve the error is to ensure that the various files Windows Update requires to 
  • operate are working correctly. This can be done using the following steps:
1. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

The first step is to run the Windows Update troubleshooter.
This is a tool bundled with Windows 10 (and I believe Windows 7) which allows you to clean up any of the issues that Windows may have with its underlying "update" processes.
To do this, you can use the following steps:
  • Press "Windows" + "I" keys on your keyboard (loads up "settings")
  • Click onto "Update & Security"
  • On the left panel, select "Troubleshoot"
  • From the list that appears, select "Windows Update"
  • Click on "Run this troubleshooter"
  • Let the process run
  • After completion, restart your PC
  • This probably won't fix the error, but should resolve the majority of issues that form with the update service.



2. Run SFC + DISM

After doing the above, you need to run the SFC + DISM commands.
These are small command-line based applications inside the Windows system, designed to provide users with the ability to clean up the majority of problems which form with Windows.
You can do this using the steps outlined here:
  • Press "Windows" + "S" keys on your keyboard
  • Type "CMD"
  • On the first listing which shows, right-click and select "Run as Administrator"
  • In the black box that appears, type the following commands:
  • "SFC /scannow" + press "Enter"
  • "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" + press "Enter"
  • This will run a series of "scans" which will basically ensure that your system is able to run the various files / settings which it requires properly.
  • Whilst this probably won't fix the problem (although it should for ~ 40% of cases), it should resolve a large number of underlying issues which may be leading it to show.



3. Manually Restart Windows Update Service

Next, you'll need to manually restart the Windows Update service.
This is a bit tricky, but should be the largest contributor to a solution.
Basically, the way Windows Update works is with what's known as a "service".
This ia an application which runs perpetually in the background of your system and allows a number of other processes to utilize it at will.
The Windows Update service is responsible for continually downloading, resuming and updating the various elements required to perform updates in Windows.
Unfortunately, it is often the case that the system will end up having problems with the service, which can be resolved by manually restarting it:
Press "Windows" + "S" keys on your keyboard
Type "CMD" and on the first item which appears, right-click and select "Run As Administrator"
  • Into the black box which appears, type the following commands:
  • 'net stop wuauserv' + 'Enter'
  • 'net stop cryptSvc' + 'Enter'
  • 'net stop bits' + 'Enter'
  • 'net stop msiserver' + 'Enter'
  • 'Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old' + 'Enter'
  • After doing this, you will need to start the various services again.This can be done using the following steps (again in the same CMD panel):
  • 'net start wuauserv' + 'Enter'
  • 'net start cryptSvc' + 'Enter'
  • 'net start bits' + 'Enter'
  • 'net start msiserver' + 'Enter'
  • This should be followed by running the Windows Update "Check for updates" command again.


4. Temporarily Disable Firewall / Antivirus

Finally, one of the more common causes of the problem is a "false flag" from the likes of your antivirus or firewall application.
This happens because your system basically thinks that (for some reason) the Windows Update service is causing irregular (potentially harmful) Internet connectivity, and thus will block it.
To solve this, you can use the following steps:

  • If you're using a THIRD PARTY antivirus
  • Right-click on the security software's icon in the bottom-right of your Windows taskbar
  • Select the equivalent of "pause" (it may be "Gaming mode" / "Temporarily Stop" etc)
  • Select "10 Minutes" or the equivalent
  • Try running Windows Update again
  • If WU doesn't work at this point, try step 3 again with your antivirus temporarily disabled
  • Restart your system after this attempt
  • If you're using Windows Defender (default antivirus)
  • Press "Windows" + "I" keys on your keyboard
  • Select "Update & Security"
  • From the left menu, select "Windows Security"
  • Select "Virus & threat protection" so "Virus & threat protection settings"
  • Switch "Real-time protection" to "Off"

Try updating the system, and if it doesn't work - try running step 3 again
After this, re-enable the Windows Defender service, restart your PC

If the above does not work, you'll probably have deeper issues with your system. Obviously, a generic Internet article isn't going to solve that.

Steam Error - "An Error Occurred While Updating" Fix (2018)

May 04, 2019 0


Like many applications, Steam often ends up with problems when it attempts to update various games you may have on the system.

The issue with Steam is either that your "region" is not set correctly (leading to download issues), or that the files of your game are somehow corrupted beyond the ability of the system to rectify them.

The solution is to ensure that your system is able to download from the server, and then that the downloaded files have the correct integrity.

The message which shows with the error is typically as follows:

Solution

1. Change Your Download Region

The first step is to change the download region.

This basically changes which server your system will be attempting to obtain the update from, thus allowing for faster access to the files.

Whilst this may not seem like a major problem, it can cause what's known as "packet loss" - essentially the corruption of downloadable files:

  •     Start the Steam application
  •     From the "Steam" menu, select "Settings" > "Downloads"
  •     Select a different - but still relatively close - download region
  •     Also click on the "Clear download cache" button
  •     Click "OK"
  •     When Steam suggests you "Restart Steam", click the button
  •     Let the system reload
  •     Try letting the download run again

This should resolve the issue. If it doesn't it likely means you either have application that's throttling the connection, or your Internet is experiencing issues.

2. Ensure That Steam Is Permitted by Antivirus

The next step is to ensure that Steam is permitted by any security software you may have.

One of the more common causes of the "corrupt download" error is that Steam's Internet access will be intermittently cut by the Antivirus system running on your PC.

To ensure this is not the case, you need to "exclude" the Steam application from any security software you have.

Obviously, there are a huge number of antivirus tools out there; I cannot possibly cover all of them.

I can give you general steps, and then obviously the "default" Windows setup:

  •     General Antivirus
  •     From the bottom-right area of the Windows taskbar, select the icon representing your antivirus
  •     Right-click and select "Settings" or similar (some may have Control Panel)
  •     When you load up the app proper, look for "exclusions"
  •     Add the following folder: "C:\Program Files\Steam"
  •     Restart your system and try running the Steam download again
  •     Windows Defender
  •     Press on Windows Defender's icon in the bottom-right of the Windows taskbar
  •     Select "Virus & threat protection" from the left menu
  •     Click on "Virus & threat protection settings"
  •     Scroll down to "Exclusions"
  •     Add the folder "C:/Program Files/Steam"

3. Repair Local Game Files

Finally, you can use several inbuilt settings to repair Steam's local files.

To do this, you can follow the steps below:

  •     Load up Steam
  •     Select "Library"
  •     Scroll down to the game causing problems
  •     Right-click on the game and select "Properties"
  •     Select the "Local Files" tab
  •     Click on "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"
  •     If any problems are identified, Steam will resolve them
  •     Try letting the game download again
  •     Restart your PC
  •     Try playing the game again

This typically resolves any instances of corrupted games within the Steam library (which often contribute to the corrupted downloads error).

Fix For Fortnite Error "An Unreal Process Crashed: UE4-FortniteGame"

April 25, 2019 0

Fortnite runs with what's known as the "Unreal Engine" - a piece of software developed by Epic Games to provide 3D gaming functionality to other developers.

Whilst the Unreal Engine element of the likes of Fortnite is generally kept out of view of the end user, it's present and an essential part of the likes of Fortnite, PUBG and other leading games.


Cause


The cause of this error is down to the way in which Windows is unable to work with the UnrealEngine application, required by the likes of Fortnite to operate.

The problem is typically caused by issues with settings inside Windows (which can include the registry), or with integration problems with the likes of DirectX and other third party libraries.

To fix it, you need to first ensure that the Fortnite application is being operated correctly, and then that you're able to clean up any potentially damaged settings in the likes of the Windows registry or other third party libraries.


Solution

1. Change Compatibility Settings For Fortnite

The first step is to ensure that you have the correct "compatibility" settings for Fortnite.

This is a standard Windows process, which basically allows any version of Windows after 7 to run "older" software (designed for the likes of XP etc).


  • Press "Windows" + "E" keys on your keyboard
  • Browse to "C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64"
  • Scroll down to "FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe"
  • Right-click
  • Select "Properties"
  • From the top "tabs", select "Compatibility"
  • Scroll down and check "Disable OnScreen Optimizations"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat this for any of the "FortniteClient... " EXE files in the /Win64 folder
  • Try the game again



2. Use Fortnite "Verify" Trick

The next step is to try using the "verify" tool from within the Epic Games launcher.

To do this is actually very simple:


  • If you've exited the "File Explorer" part of Windows, load it up again
  • Browse to the folder you were just at, and this time DELETE the "FortniteClient-Win64... " file
  • After doing this, click onto the "Epic Games Launcher" on your desktop
  • Select "Fortnite"
  • Next to the green "Launch" button, select the small cog icon
  • From the dropdown, select "Verify"
  • This will perform a scan of your game's files
  • Let the scan finish and perform any fixes
  • Restart your PC and try the game again
  • 3. Change Registry Setting Inside Windows
  • The Windows registry is a central database responsible for storing everything from your desktop wallpaper to which applications you've used recently.


As you use your system, various elements of this database can become damaged or corrupted - leading to errors such as the one you're experiencing.

To fix this, you can actually go into it and change any settings that have been identified as causing the error:


  • Press "Windows" + "S" keys on your keyboard
  • Type "Rededit", right-click on the first listing which appears and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Browse to the following: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlGraphicsDrivers"
  • Right-click and select "New" > "REG_DWORD"
  • Change its name to "TdrDelay"
  • Change its data to "00000008"
  • Exit the registry editor
  • Restart your PC
  • Try the game again


If the above does not work, it suggests you have a problem with another aspect of the system.

Unfortunately, since the UnrealEngine is embedded within Fortnite, it's not something you can manually uninstall without causing further issues.

If you wanted to try it, you may be best to reinstall the Fortnite game completely, or if you need further support, it would be recommended you talk to someone with specific knowledge/experience with your system.

There are several communities online which have the ability to do this - Reddit, SuperUser and MicrosoftAnswers being the more prolific.
