Win10ActiveHours VS Solaar

The idea to regularly update "Active Hours", so that Windows can never update, implemented as a simple script https://github.com/marcosbozzani/Win10ActiveHours still works for me to this day.

> Perhaps the answer is as simple as "there's a setting buried somewhere that all technically-literate Windows users change"

With all the editions and versions of Windows 10, there doesn't appear to be a single definitive answer to that.

I for one settled on https://github.com/marcosbozzani/Win10ActiveHours , which prevents reboots by scheduling a task to update Windows' own "Active Hours" twice a day.

If it's got the Logitech unifying receiver, it won't work outta the box. You gotta download Solaar

- Solaar: Device manager for Logitech devices (connected via Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receivers + some connected via USB cable / Bluetooth)

Depending on your mouse, Solaar could do the job. I use it in combination to trigger Fly-Pie.

Now moving on to the Linux part. Do you use gnome/kde? Or some tiling DE? I use Solaar and it's lovely! M720 has a perfectly placed gestures button. I use it to move my windows to left/right monitors and switch between upper/lower desktop spaces. The gesture button works flawlessly when you set up solaar correctly.

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why this isn't working as I expect. I'm trying to make a user service to run solaar so that my logitech mouse's scroll wheel behaves like I want without having to open the app manually. The software itself provides a .desktop file for autostart, and I used this as a basis.

I've used Solaar for my MX Master 3, works great. https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/

We don't officially support wireless keyboards or mice for infosec, environmental, and supportability reasons. But if we had to, the established Logitech Unifying and newer Logitech Bolt ecosystem allow for ready re-pairing of dongles with peripherals. Logitech Unifying is fully functional under Linux with solaar from your distro's repos. You have to be astute when buying, to always look for a picture of the dongle with the orange Unifying logo or the safety-yellow Bolt logo, however. If the logo isn't on the packaging or in the promo picture, I can assure you that you will not get a Unifying or Bolt dongle.

Have you tried Solaar?
