How to – Rename Multiple Files in Windows Explorer
Posted in Computer, How to, Windows on May 3, 2020 by SirusdarkPosted in Computer, Software, Windows with tags Adobe Photoshop CS6, fonts on October 12, 2016 by Sirusdark
Hello! Quick Photoshop troubleshooting today!
Are you unable to get Adobe Photoshop CS6 to recognize a newly installed font and yet, it’s clearly in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder?
Well here’s two possible solutions!:
a) Install the font in Windows
Once you have your new font, simply right-click it and choose “install“. This will automatically install the font in Windows. Then restart your computer and your new font should be available system wide for every installed applications.
b) Copy new font directly into Photoshop’s fonts folder
1. Close Photoshop, then copy that new font in Photoshop’s Fonts folder located here:
Program Files (x86) > Common Files > Adobe > Fonts
2. Reopen Photoshop and you should be good to go!
Enjoy!

Fix – Windows 10 update KB3189866 stuck at 45%
Posted in Announcement, Bug, Windows with tags checksum, KB, Microsoft, Windows 10, Windows Update, Windows Update Catalog on September 17, 2016 by SirusdarkHello!
If you’re running Windows 10, it’s yet another sad week. Microsoft messed up again and their latest 400Mb+ update (KB3189866) doesn’t even download properly. Most people (including myself) are stuck with an update progress stuck at 45%…
Fear not! Stop waiting and simply install the update manually in just a few clicks. Here are the direct links to download it (select the appropriate system architecture):
32 bit:
Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x86-based Systems (KB3189866)
windows10.0-kb3189866-x86_48cc54806747877357a732fee03118eb38e92947.msu
64 bit:
Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3189866)
windows10.0-kb3189866-x64_2c3e91a8162269579c8bf26a502c620d41efef0d.msu
Run the installer and after a few restarts, you’ll be good to go again.
For some reason, this identical update when downloaded via the Windows Update Catalog web downloader, uses another filename (adds the prefix: “AMD64-all-“)… It’s strange as the files are IDENTICAL! I double checked for you and and these Checksums proves it:
Fun fact! The update’s filename contains its own SHA-1 checksum hash! (2c3e91a8162269579c8bf26a502c620d41efef0d)
Enjoy!
