Posted on by Andy

Here a simple step to remove GPO instaled software from your machine and make it reapply the GPO:

  • Remove software from Control Panel -> Software
  • Find and the clear the software UID from
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Group Policy\AppMgmt
  • OR delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Group Policy completely
  • open terminal/cmd as administrator and execute
    gpupdate /force
  • and last, reboot the desktop

After a reboot the GPO should have been (re)applied and the software been installed.

Slow download speed on PS4

Posted on by Andy

As you may read across the web the people are not that satisfied with Sony's PSN network: slow downloads, often down etc…

I had this slow downloads too, around 200 KBytes/s which is not acceptable when you are using the playstation store to buy games and need to download about 40 GBytes.

For me two simple tricks worked finally to push my line to max again:

  1. Set up a fast DNS provider like OpenDNS or Google's DNS servers. I chose OpenDNS because i am not a Google friend 😉
  2. Set the MTU setting of your LAN connection to 1473

I haven't tried the MTU setting with the wireless card because around the web a lot of people said that the wifi connection on the PS4 is crap. I used it at the beginning but had constantly voice chat dropouts so i gave it up.
