I would like to get the interior of my PLANO home repainted. I would prefer PLANO area local individuals or PLANO area locally owned and operated companies.

I recently (a week or so ago) installed a 2nd anti-virus/anti-malware software for "2nd opinion" purposes, since I typically am comfortable with Windows Defender. Today while reviewing my Virus Threat & Protection area, I noticed that Windows Defender had been disabled, so I clicked on the slide button to reenable it. Then, just a little while ago, I wanted to go make sure it was still enabled but was unable to access the exact same Settings panel I just had accessed earlier. I have uninstalled 2nd AV package and rebooted, but VT&P panel still does not display. (see snip of display below).

I've no idea what happened or how to reverse/reset or why Windows thinks my Home/Personal PC has an IT administrator (I am the only administrator account) or IT help desk.

It looks like I will need to edit/modify something in the registry or group policy editor. I am comfortable with those tools but not sure what/where to start looking. I'll see if AI can help me along, but in the meantime, if anyone knows what needs to be reset, I'd appreciate the pointer.

Would like to re-carpet my home. Any good locally owned and operated carpeting companies left around?

So many choices/SKUs :--/

I have a 25-year-old home in north Dallas, TX, and sprinkler system has seen better days. I have a ~2' x ~11' strip of garden bed supplied by a single 29" riser. The bed has 5 hostas (yellow circles). The (original) spray nozzle does not really cover the area evenly; not sure if it ever did, actually.

If I were planning for long term, I'd probably make this area fed by a drip hose or at least add a second head/riser on the other end of strip, but I am planning on listing home for sale in near future and so not interested in any significant modifications or upgrades to system, even if it is considered "easy."

There are a lot of choices for nozzle replacement, so it's a tad confusing. Given the situation as outlined above, please suggest a nozzle replacement (make/model/SKU). Thanks.

Are any of these needed or useful, or can I delete/disable them?

I have a Bosch 300 series dual-fuel range/stove, model HDI8056U, that I have converted to propane. One of the burners has the wrong orifice (the folks that installed the conversion kit said one of the orifices was missing…sigh). I can’t for the life of me find a replacement online, but apparently these models all ship with the LP/propane conversions kits. So since I assume the majority of these get hooked up to LNG/natural gas, there are likely a lot of LP conversion kits out there that are unlikely to ever be used.

 If you happen to have one you are willing to part with for a reasonable price, please let me know.

I have Bosch range that was converted over to propane. Not sure w/why, but one of the burners ended up with wrong orifice (I think others are OK?). But finding just the single orifice I need seems to be an insurmountable challenge. Documentation indicates a 1.09 mm orifice, for model HDI8054U, but not much else. Bosch.com and Bosch customer support are useless for this, and typical internet searching, as well as Amazon yielded no meanigful help other than expensive kits.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to where I might be able to get this specific, single orifice?

re: Windows 11 25-H2 64-bit PC...I can be more specific if needed.

Historically I've depended on Windows Defender for online/real-time antivirus and Malwarebytes (incl AdwCleaner) for regular "2nd opinion" scans. MWB/Adw run in a fairly quick manner (Adw completes in under a minute) and the have never flagged any files.

For first time, today I downloaded and am in middle of running Microsoft's standalone "Safety Scanner" and noticed two things...it takes forever, -- as I write this it's been running for over 1.5 hours and is only about 1/5 complete acording to progrss bar -- and has already flagged 64 files as "infected."

So am I missing something about how the two products work or what they are supposed to do? i.e. Are they duplicative in their intended operation, or are they complementary to each other?

Is length of run time an indicator of effectiveness/throughness, or maybe just an inefficient algorithm...10x runtime for MSS seems over the top to me? Should I trust one's results over the other?

This unit was installed in a new home and connected to propane source and tested (supposedly) a little over a year ago, but home was never occupied, and so stove has gone unused for that time.

Now that home is going to be occupied in near term and I was checking appliances for good operation...two issues, IMO:

1. Flames are not really operating as I would have expected. Note: the builder swapped out original orifices/nozzles that came with it for use with LNG to ones for propane.
2. Rear right burner's electronic ignition thing seems to be engaged with both the knob intended for it as well as knob intended for front burner, which does not light.

Thoughts or suggestions as to what I should do from here regarding troubleshooting or fixing, please.

I am looking for someone to inspect, etc. the nozzles for the sprinkler system at my home in Allen/Plano area. My system is comprised of 3 stations with about 10 heads/risers per station. The actual sprinkler heads (& risers) are generally fine, it’s just the 30 or so nozzles that need to be inspected, cleaned, adjusted, and/or replaced. I am moving in a month or two and not planning any major changes to system, I just want to make sure sprinkler coverage is correct and won’t be a discussion point for a future home buyer, their agent, or an inspector.

If you know of someone that you’d use yourself that will do this (i.e. not just any sprinkler company/guy, but one that will actually do this particular work), then great…I’d appreciate the lead.

If this is something you do for a living, and can and want to do this job, send a chat back with when you can schedule me in and an estimate of the cost, and we can discuss from there and set something up.

I received my water bills for both June and July yesterday in the mail...kinda odd. I would have noticed before now that June's was late if I had needed it at the recycling/transfer station for any reason.

But, interestingly, there are no post marks on the envelopes. Is this normal? When did U.S.P.S. start letting people or entities mail stuff without officially marking (i.e. providing proof) the date/time of mailing?

1) I have my system backup settings set to make an auto-backup once a week. That's probably too much, as my settings almost never change. It doesn't look like it, i.e. no apparent alternative i can click on or set, but is there any way to change the frequency without resorting to a manual process? My huge preference would be a setting that creates a back-up anytime any settings or configuration changes were made.

2) I also try and keep copies of the most recent few in a separate place...probably overkill, but that's my nature. Has anyone figured out if there is a way something like this can be automated? It would probably require some sort of API or service that allowed a local script to make a connection and pull a copy. Again, I've seen nothing that would allow or facilitate this when I looked around, so probably out of luck...
