The CDPUserSvc 20492 service terminated unexpectedly


Yesterday i got call from my customer, that his Acer laptop PC with Windows 10 keep freezing after every 15-20 minutes so i opened Event Viewer and found error message "The CDPUserSvc_20492 service terminated unexpectedly" so i googled a lot and found solution for that:

Firstly open CMD window and run it as administrator. Type the command below:

sc config cdpusersvc type=own

If the issue still insists, try to find OneSyncSvc in Task Manager and disable OneSyncSvc.

HP 255 G3 laptop is slow and keep freezing

Today i got one HP 255 G3 laptop for repair, because it was extremely slow so i cleaned up old partitions and installed new windows 10. HP 255 G3 - Notebookcheck.net External Reviews
After install it was much better, but then after some updates it was again extremely slow so i tried to update all drivers and updated latest Bios. After bios update is started to use UEFI and said that cant find operating system so i had to install windows again. After install it worked fine for while untill windows updated AMD Radeon graphics driver. I tried many different older drivers, but all had same issues. I downloaded latest AMD driver (2015) from HP product page and that worked fine.

So dont use new AMD drivers for older laptops with AMD graphics!

Changing the Remote Desktop (RDP) port

Why you want to change your RDP port?

First thing is for security reason because bad guys keep scanning your 3389 port, if its open!
Another reason is, if you have more than one remote machine in your local network, then you can change different ports for different machines.
If you have only one remote machine in your local network, then you dont need to change your internal RDP port you can change external port in router and forward it to your internal port.

Attention!

Make sure that you have also already set the firewall to the new port before you apply the settings below.
For customers who do not want the Remote Desktop to listen to default port 3389: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759
  1. Start the Registry Editor
  2. Click the following registry subkey: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
  3. Choose Modify in the context menu and select Decimal.
  4. Enter the new port number and click OK.
  5. Close the Registry Editor.
The change only goes into effect once the server is restarted. After the restart, the RDP is only accessible via the new port number. Please also notify the support desk if you will be using an alternative port. The support desk can then log in for support without having to ask additional questions.
