@dustinb3403 What does this mean? If you open powershell by hitting Enter it opens faster than clicking on taskbar?
No, Scott is counting the seconds I took to move my cursor to the start menu to click on powershell as the "6 seconds it's unusable".
He isn't counting the time when the program is open and is usable.
I counted from teh time you clicked to open it, until the cursor was available. Six seconds, on teh nose.
So you counted the 6 seconds that I took to type in my Admin credentials to open an administrative version of powershell!
What are you talking about" You clicked, there was nothing, then eventually it opened.
Because the recording software doesn't capture the UAC prompt. . . my god man!

@dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I specifically told you there are 2 videos. One with admin credentials used to launch (where there is the 6 second black screen) and the one without admin credentials!
Are you saying that the black screen there is something going on waiting for you that we can't see? If so, you should say that. because it looks like wea re just waiting for PS to open.

Well taht's just stupid, and if you knew that, you should have said that. It just looks like the standard six second delay.

Yes, FFS read your PM's before I sent you the videos via your email.

Read what you wrote. You never mention a black screen meaning you are doing something manual. You sent me a video of a six second start up, after I complained of a six second start up, and expect me to think it's something I can't see?

And this is specifically why I made TWO videos!
One with admin creds, which I specifically told is an elevated powershell window (elevated should be the hint that credentials are being passed). And the normal powershell window.

Make all the videos you want, if you make one that shows exactly what I'm seeing and don't explain that it's not what it looks like, what do you expect exactly?

What was the PURPOSE of the video if you actually knew it would take six seconds, and wouldn't show anything but it taking six seconds? I was crazy for thinking you had a purpose to sending the video.

@scottalanmiller Scott here are some facts.
-
Windows has UAC prompts (these are for elevation tasks, such as installing software on domain joined computers, running elevated powershell and command prompts etc)
-
The Windows UAC prompt is run from the Windows Secure Desktop environment and cannot be recorded without the use of an external from the computer device IE. A cell phone etc
-
On windows, just like on Linux you can elevate different processes. On Windows though you need to have a user who is a part of the local administrators security group (or domain admin).
- If this user is a part of the local admin group (wheel) then you can simply right click, run as admin, and then click Yes to proceed.
If your inexperience with Windows is the issue, no one here can make you understand. Simply put, you're making a big deal over the things you've never experienced.
Which IMO makes you the inexperienced person when it comes to using Windows in any sense of the word.
-
-
@scottalanmiller we went back and forth discussing this for way longer than necessary to try to impart to you that UAC prompts aren't recordable.
That the issue you are perceiving is purely because of my need to type in credentials to elevate.
I've even made this complaint myself, Microsoft should allow elevation from within a non-elevated shell. It doesn't exist.
The issue is your misunderstanding.

I'm unclear. None of this answers "why did you make a blank video that took six seconds to show me that something doesn't take six seconds?" that's the entire confusion. Any talk of UAC means you don't understand where I'm lost. I'm lost 100% about why a video that shows nothing useful was made to explain something. What may or may not take time off camera isn't relevant. Why do you keep talking about UAC as if that explains why you made a blank video?

Read bullet point 2. . .
Hmmm... reading it, but you still seem to be confused and talking about UAC instead of how you thought the video would be useful. If you know that it would be blank, you'd have also known that it would be useless and would show the delay and nothing else. So either you weren't aware of #2 and are just now learned how Windows does this, or you would have known that the video would only show a delay without showing how much time was used by what.
So again, mentioning UAC or that it would be blank doesn't make sense. None of that explains the question of "why did you think that a blank video would be useful?"
WHY it is blank is NOT relevant. You can explain what we know over and over again, but it doesn't address the part of confusion in any way.

I am certainly confused. But I can't be the main one confused, I've asked ONE question and you've never even hinted at answering it. WHY did you make a blank video knowing it would be blank? What were you trying to demonstrate showing a six second delay?
-
It's only so confusing when I ask a question and get no answer. I'm confused as to why you are avoiding the answer. But that's the end of the confusion. There's nothing I'm confused on technically, but I'm confused as to why you keep mentioning irrelevant technical details as if you think I don't understand them or you think that they somehow matter.

How do people use PowerShell? Just opening it takes so long I forget why I was opening it!
Like @dafyre - I don't seem to have this issue. But then again, I am on a Windows machine. Could it be a Linux issue (of sorts)?
It's FAR worse on Windows than on Linux. Like 10x longer, maybe?
Maybe Windows users are just used to things being so slow that they don't notice?
I'd wager you have something going on on that system. I click the Powershell icon and start typing.
same here...
I KNOW you see it as slow. Every machine we have, it's slow. Find me any one you can that isn't.
The Windows 7 desktop I am on right now,.. takes just about 3sec to load... I see now that I am also RDP to a 2102r2 server ... and that is near instant....
Yeah, 2012 R2 (which is 8.1) that I just tested was fast. Three seconds is insanely slow, even one second is slower than other shell options.
I cannot imagine that your brain can grasp milliseconds and that it can actually see it and distinguish it. Seconds is one thing but three seconds
I mean that is insanely slow? Next time games with high graphics that low slow is insanely slow too. -
@scottalanmiller said in
None of that explains the question of "why did you think that a blank video would be useful?"So your issue of confusion is that you aren't aware that when UAC appears on Windows 10, it is impossible to record the UAC prompt and thus blanks out the screen.
So your assumption here is I should setup a tripod with an external camera so you can see my entire screen, desk, coffee mug and everything else so you can watch my type in admin credentials to run an elevated powershell window.
Does that sound correct?
