After receiving my windows activation key for my new tablet, and after it "upgraded" my windows 10, to "Windows 10 2022 Update | Version 22H2" I was no longer able to access the windows sytem settings app. It sometimes pops up as a blank blue dialogbox with the familiar gear in the center, and then closes. For instance, when I right-click the desktop, and select 'Display settings' I get this error message (after the blue dialog box with the gear pops up and closes). "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." Or, when I try to open the Settings app directly, or Windows key+I, or from any place or method of activating Settings, I get this (below) and then it closes in a second or two. The following are things I have tried, I believe are all that I have tried so far: 1. open cmd and enter - sfc /scannow 2. open cmd and enter - Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth 3. open cmd and enter - Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth 4. open cmd and enter - Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 5. open powershell and enter - * PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}" 6. open powershell and enter - * Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose} 7. open powershell and enter - * Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -verbose} I've also tried a few of the registry hacks but they did not help. So now I am wondering what else can I do. Something in the 22H2 messed up the Settings's app's association. And I can't run a Settings Repair because I have to be in Settings to do that. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try. I can create a system restore point and then try your suggestion(s). TIA

I just installed Phython4Delphi. The first demo, Demo01, throws an EPyRuntimeError (s_type = 'RuntimeError', s_value = '') when I click Execute Script on the simple print(2+2) example. The fourth line of Run_CommandAsObjectWithDict calls CheckError, which calls PyErr_Occurred, which does not return nil. I am just getting started with Python (for fun), so I am in the dark about why this error would occur or what needs to be done to resolve the issue. I have python 3.12 installed, both 32-bit and 64-bit. I have tested Demo01 as 32-bit and 64-bit and both throw the same exception. I can launch python at a command prompt and execute the script with no error. Any idea why this is occurring? Thanks.

Hello everyone! I have started trying to develop cross-platform FMX application. I succeeded in compile a simple app with just a form (only TLayout and TImageList which contains images) in Windows and Android platform. But when I switched to iOS, I cannot compile with the given error: "F1026: File not found 'dsymutil.exe'. Can you help me figure out that what I made incorrectly? As I know, dsymutil is an utility of Xcode command line tools which is not available on Windows, isn't it? P.S: I am using Delphi 11.3. I have already setup Xcode 14.3.1, its Command Line Tools, PA Server 22. Delphi can load list of profiles and simulation devices from my Mac.

Morning On start GetIt Package Manager, an error happens

Hi, Just wanted to recompile an app I wrote a year ago that compiles fine under Tokyo, Seattle, Rio 10.3... Now under 10.3.2 if I compile it, no matter what the target platform, I get this error message while debugging: Project raised exception class EComponentError with message 'This control requires version 4.70 or great of COMCTL32.DLL' Of course I have strictly no idea whatsoever of which component is at the source of the problem. Any idea what could be the cause? Thanks for any light. Steve

Hello. I created a datasnap client-server application. Whenever I re-open the project or make changes in ServerMethods unit, the error occurred when I try to activate the clientdataset in the ClientModule unit. Anyone knows how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance. I have attached the screenshot of the error occurred.

I have a small project in XE7, which is newish to me, where I have to get rid of an Access Violation error on exiting the application. From the error log, I know something is amiss vis-a-vis the arrays I'm trying to clean up. I have one global constant static arrays of strings, two global static arrays of extended and two global static arrays of strings. I have tried to use the setLength method for the cleaning up of the arrays, the finalize method, freeAndNil, free and setting the arrays to nil. My attempts sometimes survive compiling, sometimes don't. Researching the issue on the internet seems mostly to focus on dynamic array clearing. Not much about static arrays and not a solution that I could find. I've tried placing the clearing attempts in OnCloseQuery and disastrously in OnClose. At this point, I'm stumped. Is there a definitive way to do this? GM My creation code in the main form looks like this: var ... ar1: Array [1..100] of string; ar1Total: Array [1..100] of extended; ar2: Array [1..100] of string; ar2Total: Array [1..100] of extended; const TonerColors: TArray<string> = ['Cyan', 'Magenta', 'Yellow','Black'];
