It's Neopet Hobby Drama(TM) time again, buckle in

So in October of 2023, TNT introduced a Quest Log feature. Basically, users complete 5–7 tasks per day. Each individual task rewards an item or NP, and users get 20k NP for completing all of their tasks each day. If they completed an entire week, they would recieve an item from an exclusive weekly prize pool. These are generally items users want, like paint brushes, stamps, etc.

If a user got a weekly prize they didn't like, they could simply hit one of the big red "Skip Quest" buttons. Skipping a quest would reset the weekly progress; skipping twice would reroll into a different prize. This was useful for avoiding less-expensive rewards and getting the item you want.

Recently (like within the last two weeks), the site went down for maintenance, and the Quest Log was down for a bit longer. When it came back, it was the same—minus the "Skip Quest" button.

Initially, users assumed this was just an error on TNT's end, and it would be fixed sooner or later. However, after waiting almost two (!) weeks, TNT finally made the following statement:

Hello Neopians! With the latest maintenance window, we made some changes to help prep for a future update and implemented some bug fixes to the Quest Log. Additionally, we fixed an exploit that was allowing users to reroll Weekly Rewards. Being able to reroll was not an intentional feature and was an exploit, so we fixed the bug that was allowing that during the maintenance window while we were applying other changes. We do, however, recognise that having a reroll feature is helpful, so we will keep this in mind for the future. We have some exciting updates planned for the Quest Log coming soon so stay tuned!

So basically, the team is trying to gaslight everyone by saying the button they very intentionally coded like a year ago was an "exploit" (????) and that users are now just stuck with the same prize, regardless of if they want it or not, meaning they took the time just to remove a feature everybody liked

Tutorial: Fixing Exploded Lot Imposters

Published: 8-25-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Using dozens of the same object on a lot—such as a window on a skyscraper, or lots of the same tree/hedge on a large park lot—may cause “exploded” lot imposters. The lot imposter is the version of a lot seen in neighborhood view or from adjacent lots during gameplay. The error often appears in the form of warped or smeared objects – as if someone wiped part of the screen with a wet cloth. In other cases, the mesh looks like broken shards and/or pokes through other parts of the lot. Meanwhile, everything looks fine when you enter it. This error seems rare, having only occurred about 4-5 times over two decades, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. Don’t panic! The object itself is likely not broken (although double-checking wouldn’t hurt) but the error happens as your game tries to render the same object/textures multiple times. In my testing, the culprit was usually a single object and one of its recolorable subsets. SOLUTION I used to delete the blown-up lot and rebuild it until the problem went away. Yet, a much easier solution exists – recolors! Apply 1 or more recolors across copies of object and that should fix the warped/exploded object on the lot imposter. In most cases, this should take care of the problem. In this example, the windows “exploded” in hood view. After applying plain glass recolors from THIS (Simmons, 2023) set, the problem didn’t go away. The true culprit was the metal detail on the glass – for which I had no recolors for. I made some (HERE), using similar colors which looked the same from a distance, and that solved the problem.

Simmers who use lots of greenery in their landscaping might encounter an exploded lot imposter. Keep similar recolors in your arsenol…just in case. During gameplay, this happened when I used a ton of custom hedges repo’d to the default one (“boxy lady”).  This has also happened with the default birch tree in-game, so I recommend keeping something like Gwenke33’s recolors (2011) handy.

"Finished" PC Build

Backstory: Starting 2023 I was still running a cobbled together mess of a PC, the heart of which was a Dell Studio XPS desktop from 2010. Yes, THIRTEEN YEARS old. I got 2 of them from a gaming company in 2012 for the price of a tank of gas, thanks to knowing someone working there that had been tasked with E-wasting all the Windows PCs. Company was switching to iOS dev.

Anyway, at its heart was the Dell Mobo, which featured a 1st Gen i5-920. By this point, the OG GPU was long gone and I had "upgraded" with a 1050TI. 16gigs of DDR3 RAM. This basic as hell setup had served me admirably for a decade, for a couple reasons.

I run Linux.

I have never been a HEAVY PC GAMER. Sure, I have gamed on PC since I first got one in 2005 (yeah, kinda late to the game, considering I was almost 30, lol), but I mostly used my PC for World of Warcraft, other similar MMOs, and what are now called Indie games on Steam. I've had consoles from like 6yrs old, and I tend to prefer them as they are the cheap option for gaming. I appreciate what a modern PC can do (esp lately with RT etc) but like, more often than not PC gaming can be as much of a chore as it can be fun.

Now, starting around March 2023, that old PC began having strange errors with the RAM, which would cause Firefox to crash tabs/completely, among other things. Eventually it broke my Linux Mint OS badly enough it just stopped allowing me to login. Finally figured out the HDD I had was failing and got an SSD. Installed Garuda on it and pretty quickly realized I had Mobo issues as the RAM was still reporting less DIMMs than it had, half the time.

At this point, a friend that was aware of the issues offered to mail me an i5-6400, to build a "new" system around. Naturally I accepted and bought a Fractal Meshify 2, some new DDR4 RAM, DeepCool Gammax, and a used MSI Krait Gaming Mobo. Stuck the new parts in the new case, and moved over storage/GPU from old PC. Booted and updated the OS, then launched WoW. Still getting 10fps in Valdrakken. Shit. Guess I need to upgrade this GPU.

So I bought an RX 6800. Stuck it in the case and booted. Updated the OS, which brought the Mesa drivers on board. Launched WoW again. 10fps again. What the fuck. Thought maybe swapping from Nvidia to AMD might have left over some driver mess, so I fresh installed Garuda and got all set up. Logged WoW Main again. STILL 10fps. WTF. Took my Main to SW, stood in front of the bank, then logged an alt with NO UI. Holy shit, there's a 35fps difference between them. My UI was broken, lol. Spent a day fixing that. Now I get 20fps in Valdrakken, but 55ish everywhere else. This is good.. but... What if I upgraded the core to something current gen, say AM5?

Finally we arrive at the part the title of this post suggested, building the "new" PC. I went to Newegg and picked out a Ryzen 5 7600X, MSI Mag B650 Tomahawk WIFI Mobo, G.SKILL FlareX5 32g RAM kit, and a TFORCE 2TB M.2 SSD. I also got a "free" 1TB Sata SSD with the CPU, it was also a TFORCE. The following are the pics of the "build" process. There will also be an aside for a complication. ProTip: be real fucking sure everything you want to put into a PC is absolutely compatible. Some things say they are when they aren't. You'll see what I mean.

Here's the parts laid out and ready to be installed.

This Mobo has a ton of IO.

The iFixit "Pro Tech" toolkit. I got it on sale for I wanna say 80 bucks a few months ago, as of today it's listed for $75, and I think it's definitely worth the money.

Here we see the 3 M.2 slots. 2 of them have included heat sinks. Nice.

ProTip: Remember to peel the fucking plastic off these thermal pads, cause they don't really work with it on there.

Like a glove.

ProTip: it's real damn important to make sure you put the RAM in the proper dual channel config on an AMD system. On this motherboard there is a little diagram pointing out that the slots the sticks are in clearly say "first" on them, which is a nice touch. If you look closely, you can barely make out the very fuzzy diagram printed just above the heat sink bracket on the right hand side of the CPU.

Storage in place with the little "carder heat sink" strip in place. This SSD came with its own heat sink but I'm going to use the one that came with the board.

Like so.

And here's the board, ready to go into the case for further assembly.. however, it was at this point that i realized that the EVGA 650w PSU I had didn't have two 8pin(4x4) CPU cables. I got it open box, no manuals etc, and could have sworn it had 2 cables but I was wrong. Makes sense, really, 650 watts would be cutting it too close with this build. Bummer.

Ok, well I can at least move over my DeepCool Gammax heat sink. I looked at the listing from when I bought it and it says "AM5 compatible". I watched a vid that said "hey as long as your cooler doesn't use a back plate, it should work with AM5"

LIES, BOTH OF THEM. I tried to get the DeepCool on there but the brackets didn't quite line up, and then even if I could kinda fudge it a little to make that work, the screws were threaded differently. Fuck. So at this point, in the middle of a somewhat heavy storm, I had to make a run to Best Buy and hope the store really did have the things the website said it did. Thankfully, it did (and I guess yay for living in a decent area or something? cause I've heard stories about BBs having like 3 PSUs from one brand, so "my" store having 19 from 6 brands is luxury, it seems. I miss Fry's). Picked up an EVGA GT 850w 80+ Gold with auto Eco Mode and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo, which was extremely lucky as it was the only one in the store.

That out of the way, the build can continue.

Coming along nicely. Sorry about the quality of some of these pics btw, I'm getting old so the eyes ain't what they were plus I had been dealing with this for several hours by now so I was also cranky and kinda rushing through the pics part. They looked good on the phone, less so once I moved them to the PC, heh.

Oh thank fuck, it posts. Ignore the slightly dirty desk, I been busy damn it.

That's looking clean as fuck. Yeah that old USB IO thing is old and kinda looks stupid but like, never can have enough ports, right?

I really do like this Fractal Meshify 2 case. It's laid out super well and is a breeze to build in. I mean just look at that cable routing, yo. And I was kinda rushing and not really being that finicky about it lol.

And it's home. Yeah, yeah, I know I need to clean up the cable situation on the left, there. I'll get to it. Also yes, there's some rust on that standing desk pole. I got it for free and it had been sitting outside. I've meant to clean that up but just haven't gotten to it, heh. Living in an RV as a not small dude (6ft1 240lbs or so) makes doing things like this just kinda suck, honestly. Add another person to the mix and yeah things can get tight. A 28ftx8ft box to live in just ain't the best time in the world, lol. We make do, though.

Finally, I figure I can give one nod to the RGB fans, so here you go. The Halo's fan in all its glory. I have since installed OpenRGB and managed, even on Linux, to gain access to the RGB controller and set the brightness to minimum.

I have run some benchmarks with Phoronix. I guess at least one person who might read this may be interested, especially Linux fans? So here's links to those:

GLmark2

Unigine Valley

Blender - this is an all tests, best of 3 run. Took a couple hours, which meant it was a great stress test for the CPU. I had no problems, which is impressive as the CPU sat at what I understand to be the throttle point temp of 95C. Yeah. I'm going to be looking into a better cooling solution or at least add another fan to the heat sink and see if that helps.

There's also 3 tests from when I was running the i5-6400 with the RX 6800.... if you wanna see what happens to a GPU when you severely bottleneck it, lol. If anyone actually reading this is interested you can just click "System Logs" on any of the links above, then "Show System Information" which will take you to a list of all benchmarks I've done so far.

Well, I guess that's it. Hope this was interesting and/or amusing to whoever reads this. Thanks for taking the time.

Edit*******

Oh and by the way, I launched WoW again after I finished, despite it being late and I was sore and tired. But I just had to see. I am now unable to get less than 35-40fps in Valdrakken, and I'm averaging nearly 100 anywhere else. I actually saw 130fps a few times. I'm not sure I've ever seen that high a number even when I flew as high as is allowed and looked straight up, lol.

In other words: yes, it was worth it. Especially if I can manage to baby this thing well enough it lasts me at least a few years before I "have" to think about upgrading it. Again.

Patch Management Service

The Importance of Patch Management: Why IBovi’s Patch Management Service and Software Are Key to Cybersecurity

In today’s fast-paced digital world, keeping your organization’s IT infrastructure secure and up-to-date is more challenging than ever. With cyber threats evolving at an alarming rate, businesses must take proactive measures to protect their systems from vulnerabilities. One of the most effective ways to manage these vulnerabilities is through patch management. At the forefront of this critical practice is IBovi, a company that offers cutting-edge patch management services and software to ensure your systems stay secure, efficient, and compliant.

What is Patch Management?

Patch management refers to the process of identifying, acquiring, testing, and installing patches (or updates) for software, applications, and operating systems. These patches are released by software vendors to fix bugs, address security vulnerabilities, and improve system performance. When left unaddressed, unpatched software becomes a prime target for cybercriminals, who exploit these vulnerabilities to launch malware, ransomware, or other forms of cyberattacks.

Why Is Patch Management Crucial for Cybersecurity?

The frequency and complexity of cyberattacks continue to rise, with hackers using sophisticated methods to infiltrate systems. Many of these attacks exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software. In fact, according to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, over 80% of successful data breaches involved vulnerabilities that were known but not patched.

Regular and timely patching can significantly reduce the risk of a breach. By applying patches as soon as they are released, organizations can fortify their defenses and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. Patch management also ensures that software systems continue to operate smoothly, minimizing downtime and disruptions to business operations.

2.Type msconfig and press Enter.

3.Go to the Services tab.

4.Tick Hide all Microsoft Services and then click on Disable all.

5.Click on Apply and OK.

6.Restart your PC.

7.Now, run the problematic games and see if it has worked.

Third-party services are known to interrupt gaming. It is hard to figure out which one is the culprit. Clean boot disables all of them and helps to identify the problematic services. If the game crashes on startup on a PC, performing the above things will help.

11. Repair disk problems

If the games are still crashing, it may be because of a disk problem. So, checking and repairing the bad sectors may solve the problem. To do it, follow these steps:

1.Open This PC.

2.Right-click on the disk where your game has been installed and go to its Properties.

3.Navigate to the Tools tab.

4.Click on Check.

5.Next, click on Scan drive, as shown in the screenshot.

6.Wait until Windows finishes the process.

12. Update everything

Another thing you must do is update all the components on your PC. It includes all the drivers, the operating system, and every software related to gaming, game components, etc.

DirectX plays a big role in gaming in Windows. If you regularly keep Windows up to date, DirectX will also be updated to the latest possible version. Else, if you are on an unsupported OS like Windows 7 or 8, upgrade to Windows 11. Otherwise, problems with gaming will always hamper your experience.

I had an ok week. I fixed some bugs and added a system to force-set filetypes.

You will be asked on update if you want to regenerate some animation thumbnails. The popup explains the decision, I recommend 'yes'.

full changelog

forced filetype

The difference between a zip and an Ugoira and a cbz is not perfectly clear cut. I am happy with the current filetype scanner--and there are a couple more improvements this week--but I'm sure there will always be some fuzziness in the difficult cases. This also applies to some clever other situations, like files that secretly store a zip concatenated after a jpeg. You might want that file to be considered something other than hydrus thinks it technically is.

So, on any file selection, you can now hit right-click->manage->force filetype. You can set any file to be seen as any other file. The changes take affect immediately, are reflected in presentation and system:filetype searches, and the files themselves will be renamed on disk (to aid 'open externally'). The original filetype is remembered, and everything is easily undoable through the same dialog.

Also added is 'system:has forced filetype', under the 'system:file properties' entry, if you'd like to find what you have set one way or the other.

This is experimental, and I don't recommend it for the most casual users, but if you are comfortable, have a play with it. I still need to write better error handling for complete nonsense cases (e.g. calling a webm a krita is probably going to raise an error somewhere), but let me know how you get on.

other highlights

I fixed some dodgy numbers in Mr. Bones (deleted file count) and the file history chart (inbox/archive count). If you have had some whack results here, let me know if things are any better! If they aren't, does changing the search to something more specific than 'all my files'/'system:everything' improve things?

Some new boot errors, mostly related to missing database components, are now handled with nicer dialog prompts, and even interactive console prompts serverside.

I _may_ have fixed/relieved the 'program is hung when restored from minimise to system tray' issue, but I am not confident. If you still have this, let me know how things are now. If you still get a hang, more info on what your client was doing during the minimise would help--I just cannot reproduce this problem reliably.

Thanks to a user who figured out all the build script stuff, the Docker package is now Alpine 3.19. The Docker package should have newer libraries and broader file support.

birthday and year summary

The first non-experimental beta of hydrus was released on December 14th, 2011. We are now going on twelve years.

Like many, I had an imperfect 2023. I've no complaints, but IRL problems from 2022 cut into my free time and energy, and I regret that it impacted my hydrus work time. I had hoped to move some larger projects forward this year, but I was mostly treading water with little features and optimisations. That said, looking at the changelog for the year reveals good progress nonetheless, including: multiple duplicate search and filter speed and accuracy improvements, and the 'one file in this search, the other in this search' system; significant Client API expansions, in good part thanks to a user, including the duplicates system, more page inspections, multiple local file domains, and http headers; new sidecar datatypes and string processing tools; improvements to 'related tags' search; much better transparency support, including 'system:has transparency'; more program stability, particularly with mpv; much much faster tag autocomplete results, and faster tag and file search cancelling; the inc/dec rating service; better file timestamp awareness and full editing capability; the SauceNAO-style image search under 'system:similar files'; blurhashes; more and better system predicate parsing, and natural system predicate parsing in the normal file search input; a background database table delete system that relieves huge jobs like 'delete the PTR'; more accurate Mr. Bones and File History, and both windows now taking any search; and multiple new file formats, like HEIF and gzip and Krita, and thumbnails and full rendering for several like PSD and PDF, again in good part thanks to a user, and then most recently the Ugoira and CBZ work.

I'm truly looking forward to the new year, and I plan to keep working and putting out releases every week. I deeply appreciate the feedback and help over the years. Thank you!

next week

I have only one more week in the year before my Christmas holiday, so I'll just do some simple cleanup and little fixes.

The Ongoing Effort to Counter Zero-Day Threats This Summer

The summer season has not slowed down the release of software updates, with tech behemoths Apple, Google, and Microsoft launching numerous patches to address vulnerabilities that are being exploited in actual attacks. In July, significant bugs were also addressed by enterprise software companies SAP, Citrix, and Oracle. Here is a comprehensive rundown of the major patches rolled out during the month.

Apple’s iOS and iPadOS 16.6 In July, Apple was quite busy, releasing two separate security updates. The first update from the iPhone manufacturer was a security-only Rapid Security Response patch. This marked only the second instance of Apple issuing a Rapid Security Response, and the process was not as seamless as the first one. On July 10, Apple rolled out iOS 16.5.1 9 (a) to address a single WebKit vulnerability that was already being exploited, but the patch was quickly withdrawn after it was found to disrupt several websites for users. A few days later, Apple re-released the update as iOS 16.5.1 (c), finally resolving the WebKit issue without causing any other problems.

Later in July, Apple’s major point upgrade, iOS 16.6, was released with 25 security fixes, including the previously exploited WebKit bug that was addressed in iOS 16.5.1 (c), identified as CVE-2023-37450. Among the other bugs addressed in iOS 16.6 were 11 in the Kernel, the heart of the iOS operating system, one of which Apple said is already being exploited. The Kernel flaw is the third iOS issue identified by security firm Kaspersky as part of the zero-click “Triangulation spyware” attacks.

Apple also rolled out iOS 15.7.8 for users of older devices, along with iPadOS 16.6, Safari 16.6, macOS Ventura 13.5, macOS Monterey 12.6.8, macOS Big Sur 11.7.9, tvOS 16.6, and watchOS 9.6.

Microsoft Microsoft’s July Patch Tuesday is a crucial update to watch for, as it addresses 132 vulnerabilities, including several zero-day flaws. To begin with, one of the bugs outlined in the patch update, identified as CVE-2023-36884, has yet to be addressed. In the meantime, the technology giant has provided steps to mitigate the already exploited flaw, which is reportedly being used in attacks by a Russian cybercrime group.

Other zero-day flaws included in Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday are CVE-2023-32046, a platform elevation of privilege bug in the MSHTML core Windows component, and CVE-2023-36874, a vulnerability in the Windows Error Reporting service that could let an attacker gain admin rights. Meanwhile, CVE-2023-32049 is an already exploited vulnerability in the Windows SmartScreen feature.

It is needless to say that you should update as soon as possible while keeping an eye out for the fix for CVE-2023-36884.

Google Android Google has rolled out an update for its Android operating system, addressing numerous security vulnerabilities, including three that it says “may be under limited, targeted exploitation.”

The first of the already exploited vulnerabilities is CVE-2023-2136, a remote code execution (RCE) bug in the System with a CVSS score of 9.6. The critical security vulnerability could lead to RCE with no additional privileges needed, according to the tech firm. “User interaction is not needed for exploitation,” Google warned.

CVE-2023-26083 is an issue in Arm Mali GPU driver for Bifrost, Avalon, and Valhall chips, rated as having a moderate impact. The vulnerability was used to deliver spyware to Samsung devices in December 2022.

CVE-2021-29256 is a high-severity flaw that also impacts Bifrost and Midgard Arm Mali GPU kernel drivers.

The Android updates have already reached Google’s Pixel devices and some of Samsung’s Galaxy range. Given the severity of this month’s bugs, it’s a good idea to check whether the update is available and install it now.

Google Chrome 115 Google has released the Chrome 115 update for its popular browser, addressing 20 security vulnerabilities, four of which are rated as having a high impact. CVE-2023-3727 and CVE-2023-3728 are use-after-free bugs in WebRTC. The third flaw rated as having a high severity is CVE-2023-3730, a use-after-free. Chunk 2: A vulnerability in Tab Groups has been identified as CVE-2023-3732, which is an out-of-bounds memory access issue in Mojo. Despite none of the vulnerabilities being exploited in real-world attacks, six have been classified as medium severity. Given that Chrome is a commonly targeted platform, it’s advisable to keep your system updated.

Mozilla’s Firefox 115 was released shortly after Chrome 115, addressing several high severity flaws. Notable among these are two use-after-free bugs, identified as CVE-2023-37201 and CVE-2023-37202. Mozilla also rectified two memory safety bugs, CVE-2023-37212 and CVE-2023-37211, which were found in Firefox 114, Firefox ESR 102.12, and Thunderbird 102.12. Mozilla’s advisory noted that these bugs demonstrated evidence of memory corruption, which could potentially be exploited to run arbitrary code with sufficient effort.

Enterprise software corporation Citrix has also issued an update warning, following the rectification of multiple flaws in its NetScaler ADC (now known as Citrix ADC) and NetScaler Gateway (now Citrix Gateway) tools. One of these flaws, CVE-2023-3519, is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that has been exploited and has a CVSS score of 9.8. Citrix has observed exploits of CVE-2023-3519 on unmitigated appliances and strongly urges affected customers to install the updated versions as soon as possible. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) also issued an advisory about this bug, noting its use in attacks on a critical infrastructure organization in June.

Enterprise software company SAP has released its July Security Patch Day, which includes 16 security fixes. The most severe of these is CVE-2023-36922, an OS command injection vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.1. Onapsis, a security firm, stated that an authenticated attacker could “inject an arbitrary operating system command into a vulnerable transaction and program.” Therefore, patching is highly recommended due to the high impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected SAP system.

In addition, CVE-2023-33989 is a directory traversal vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver with a CVSS score of 8.7, and CVE-2023-33987 is a request smuggling and request concatenation vulnerability in SAP Web Dispatcher with a CVSS score of 8.6.

Software firm Oracle has also released its July Critical Patch Update Advisory, which addresses 508 vulnerabilities across its products. This includes 77 new security patches for Oracle Communications, with 57 of these vulnerabilities being exploitable remotely over a network without user credentials. One of the most severe flaws is CVE-2023-20862, which has a CVSS score of 9.8. Oracle has also released 147 patches for Financial Services and 60 fixes for Fusion Middleware. The company stressed the importance of customers applying Critical Patch Update security patches promptly and remaining on actively supported versions, as it continues to receive reports of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities it has already patched. In some instances, attackers were successful because targeted customers had not applied available Oracle patches.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A really quiet week with almost all regressions being due to noise in benchmarks that show "bimodality" in codegen that can cause swings in performance from one change to the other. The only true performance change was a two-line change by @nnethercote to remove a redundant function call which led to a 0.3% improvement in performance across roughly 15 benchmarks.

Triage done by @rylev. Revision range: 31f858d9..8f9e09ac

Quote of the Week

(…) as much as i dislike the cargo-geiger concept, the name … kind of works

unsafe is a lot like uranium. it’s just one more metal ore you can process, refine, and machine. it doesn’t combust in atmosphere, it doesn’t corrode or make weird acids. unless you go out of your way to make it dangerous you don’t even have to worry about critical masses. you can work with it pretty normally most of the time

but if you don’t know exactly what it is, what it does, and how to work with it, it will cause mysterious illnesses that only crop up long after you’ve stopped touching it

qbdbmgrn not running on this computer

The error message "QBDBMgrN not running on this computer" is a common issue encountered by users of Intuit's QuickBooks accounting software. QBDBMgrN is a process that runs in the background and allows multiple users to access the company file simultaneously in a network environment. When this process fails to start or stops running, it prevents users from accessing the company file or using the multi-user mode. In this article, we will explore the possible causes of this error and provide solutions to resolve it.

There are several reasons why QBDBMgrN may not be running on your computer:

QBDBMgrN service is not running:

The QBDBMgrN service needs to be running for multiple users to access the company file. To check if the service is running, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "services.msc," and press Enter. Look for the service named "QuickBooksDBXX" (XX represents the version of QuickBooks you are using, e.g., QuickBooksDB23 for QuickBooks 2023). If the service is not running, right-click on it, select "Start," and check if the error is resolved.

Firewall or antivirus software blocking QBDBMgrN:

Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software may block the QBDBMgrN process from running. To fix this, you need to configure your firewall or antivirus software to allow QuickBooks processes. Consult the documentation of your security software or contact the software provider for instructions on how to add an exception for QuickBooks.

Damaged QBWUSER.INI file:

The QBWUSER.INI file stores various settings related to QuickBooks. If this file gets damaged or corrupted, it can prevent QBDBMgrN from running. To resolve this, you need to rename the QBWUSER.INI file, which will force QuickBooks to create a new one. Close QuickBooks, navigate to the folder where the company file is located, find the QBWUSER.INI file, right-click on it, select "Rename," and change the name to QBWUSER.INI.old. Restart QuickBooks and it will recreate the QBWUSER.INI file.

Multiple instances of QBDBMgrN running:

If there are multiple instances of QBDBMgrN running simultaneously, it can cause conflicts and prevent it from functioning correctly. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager, go to the "Processes" tab, and look for any instances of QBDBMgrN.exe. If you find multiple instances, right-click on each of them and select "End Process." Then, restart QuickBooks and check if the error persists.

Outdated QuickBooks installation:

An outdated or incompatible QuickBooks installation can lead to various errors, including QBDBMgrN not running. Make sure you have the latest updates installed for your version of QuickBooks. To check for updates, open QuickBooks and go to the "Help" menu. Select "Update QuickBooks" and follow the instructions to download and install any available updates.

Network connectivity issues:

QBDBMgrN requires a stable network connection to function properly. If there are network connectivity issues, such as a faulty router or network cable, it can cause QBDBMgrN to stop running. Check your network connection, restart your router, and ensure that all network cables are securely connected.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, you may need to contact Intuit's QuickBooks support for further assistance. They have specialized technicians who can diagnose and troubleshoot the problem remotely.

Conclusion!

The error message "QBDBMgrN is not running on this computer" means that the Database Server Manager has stopped working and also indicates that a security firewall is preventing QuickBooks from connecting and communicating with the Internet server. and fails to open or start.

“The Iranian Revolution: A Guide to the Future with Microsoft.”

As of September 22, 2022, the Iranian government has decided to remain permanently in the standard time zone, canceling daylight saving time. Moving forward, Iran will permanently remain at UTC + 3:30 time zone. In support of this decision, Microsoft is releasing a series of Windows Updates. 

       For more Info Visit:-Microsoft License shop

For Windows 10 and 11/20H2 and later versions, this enhancement is available in the April 2023 Cumulative Update preview. This update was made available on April 25, 2023. The update will be included in the May 2023 monthly quality update, which is slated for delivery on May 9, 2023, for all other supported versions of Windows.

The following release note wording is included in all Windows updates that include this fix: "The Islamic Republic of Iran is impacted by this update. The government's order to switch to daylight saving time starting in 2022 is supported by the update."

It's important to note that this update is not limited to individuals living in Iran. It's crucial for anyone who conducts business or has contacts in Iran to be aware of this change. Failure to update your operating system could result in scheduling errors and missed appointments.

If you're unsure if this update applies to you, Microsoft has provided resources to help. The "Daylight Saving Time Help and Support" page on Microsoft's website outlines their official DST and time zone changes policy. Additionally, the "How to Configure Daylight Saving Time for Microsoft Windows operating systems" page offers step-by-step instructions on updating your Windows operating system to follow the most recent worldwide time zone regulations.
