Windows 10 August 2018 update causing wifi problems

My computer recently did an update to Windows 10, and in the process the wifi stopped working.  After several attempts to fix it, I found that if you go to Network Connections, right click on the Wifi network connection, and choose Properties.  Then select the Internet Protocol Version 4 and select properties.  Then select both to be "obtain automatically".  Do the same with the Internet Protocol Version 6.  Hopefully this fixes things for you!

Raspberry Pi: Can't start the desktop with new user

I created a new user with the Raspberry Pi, and tried to type "Startx" to start the desktop, but nothing worked!  FINALLY found out that I couldn't choose the option to "boot to CLI" and still run the desktop.

Raspberry Pi: Problems recognizing card when backing up with "SD Card Copier"

So this year I am using Raspberry Pis to teach a Fundamentals of Computer class.  I wanted to document a few problems I ran into.

I successfully backed up the Raspberry Pi the first time by using the new option under Accessories called "SD Card Copier".  But when I went to back it up again, it did not recognize the card!  I tried so many things to get it to work.  I thought it was the card reader, the SD card, and I tried formatting it, but that didn't work unless I used a specific program to reformat it.

Another colleague mentioned that it looked like it thought the cards were identical - and then I remember the option "new partition UUIDS".  When I formatted the card the first time, I did not check the box "new partition UUIDS".

So I formatted the backup SD card that wasn't being recognized with the SD Memory Card Formatter found here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/.  And then I ran the "SD Card Copier" again, this time selecting "new partition UUIDS" and it worked to back up the card again the next time!  Why couldn't I find this information anywhere?! :)

This is what I've been looking for a long time on how to connect technology to teaching!
