Go into the System key, and right-click any empty space in the right pane. Choose New → DWORD (32-bit) value. Name it HideFastUserSwitching. Double-click on the new DWORD value, and change the Value data to '0' to force the Switch User option to display. Click OK and restart your computer.

Because OpenVPN tries to be a universal VPN tool offering a great deal of flexibility, there are a lot of options on this manual page.
With Microsoft's recent firmware update for the Surface Pro 3, among the new bits and pieces was a new Marvell Wifi driver that lets you switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on the fly. For those of us using a dual-band router, the updated driver should help resolve any related issues.
Switching bands is easy, so long as you know where to look. Here's how to do it.
- Using the universal search on the Start Screen, search for 'Device Manager.'
- Open Device Manager
- Find 'Network Adapters' in the list and expand it
- Tap and hold or right click on 'Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller' and open its properties
- Along the top of the dialog box, open the Driver tab
- Verify the version number is 15.68.3073.151 before continuing
- Assuming all is correct thus far, hit the Advanced tab. This is where you'll change bands.
- The dropdown 'Value' box on the right will have options for 2.4GHz, 5GHz and Auto when the Property box on the left has 'Band' highlighted.
- Select your desired band, hit OK, and you're good to go!
One thing worth noting is that should you specify only 2.4GHz or 5GHz, your Surface will only connect on those bands. Geekbench 4 3 2 torrent. If you then leave the house and try to connect to Wifi elsewhere, it's worth making sure you've set it back to Auto to keep things running nice and smoothly.

Thanks jlangner for the heads up!
Fabled learningsXbox laments closing Fable dev Lionhead, describing it as a 'mistake'
Fable developer Lionhead Studios closed down in 2016, after it became apparent Fable Legends wasn't going to work for the franchise. Microsoft now views the whole running of Lionhead as a mistake, and has vowed to learn from it.
How often does Windows (usually) do a thread switch per second? Is this different from .NET threads? Or asked the other way around: How long is a thread (of, say, normal thread priority) allowed to run?
John SaundersHow often Windows context switches depends on the system 'quantum'. This quantum ranges from 10-15 milliseconds (66-100 times per second) depending on whether the OS is client or server. For more detail I recommend reading Joe Duffy's book Concurrent Programming on Windows Valley 1 0 – first person adventure & action game. ; it goes into great detail about things like this--e.g. details that 'client OSes .. is 2 clock intervals. ..on server OSes.. is 12 clock intervals'. Also, his article [CLR Inside Out: Using concurrency for scalability][1] is a must read.
You can sort of 'edit' the quantum length. If you set the 'Adjust for best performance of:' in Performance Options/Advanced in System Properties to 'Programs', you'll get a shorter quantum. If you set it to 'Background services' you'll get a longer quantum.
If there's no reason to context switch, a thread will get as much time as it needs.

Peter RitchiePeter RitchieA context switching rate of 300 per second per processor is a moderate amount
says in the source.
Windows2000 has Pviewer utility to measure that.

On a typical system, this is highly dependent on the I/O loading. Much disk and network activity will generate a lot of context-switches as threads call for I/O, get blocked and are later made ready again. The complexity and design of the running apps also affects context-switch rate - apps with a lot of threads, many locks, excessive work inside locks, too much inter-thread comms compared with the size of communicated data, silly polling etc. will drive up the context-change rate.

On most systems, most of the time, the stuff about 'quantum', 'time-slice' etc. is irrelevant - just a footnote in I/O-driven preemptive multitasking that only occurs regularly on boxes with more ready, CPU-intensive, threads than cores, ie. those that are grossly overloaded or run CPU-intensive apps.
A thread of normal priority is allowed to run until it is prempted, usually by it electing to wait on I/O or signaling from another thread. Even if it does no I/O or signaling, ie. is completely CPU-bound, it may still run forever if the box is never overloaded, (ie never has more ready threads than cores).
