3 # Problems with Windows Update
4
5 ## Error 0x80244007
6
7 I got error 0x80244007 on a Windows 10 computer after running the Server Cleanup Wizard on the WSUS server. In my case, deleting `C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb` like suggested [here](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a3753969-7a79-436d-9820-1bb9d4eb398f/windows-update-client-failed-to-detect-with-error-0x8024400d?forum=winserverwsus#7472cf22-f820-430c-b2d3-043eee100673) worked:
8
9 ```bat
10 net stop wuauserv
11 del C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Datastore.edb
12 net start wuauserv
13 wuauclt /detectnow
14 ```

16 # Problems adding a network printer
17
18 ## Error #740
19
20 When adding a network printer fails with error #740, try running the following command from an _elevated_ command prompt:
21
22 ```bat
23 rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il
24 ```
25
26 Then, add the printer using the wizard that appears.
27
28 It seems that this is somehow caused by problems with the driver installation in the regular “Add printer” wizard. After a printer has been added this way, other users should also be able to add it in the regular way.
29
30 I found this solution [here](https://basics.net/2021/12/22/windows-shared-printer-cannot-be-added-error-740/).

32 # Using UTC for the hardware clock
33
34 For historic reasons, Windows keeps the hardware clock in local time instead of UTC. This can be problematic when dealing with daylight saving time, in particular when more than one operating system is installed on the computer.
35
36 Windows can be told to use a hardware clock that is set to UTC instead (I found this information [here](https://fishilico.github.io/generic-config/windows/utc-clock.html)):
37
38 ```reg
39 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
40
41 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
42 "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
43 ```
