Remote desktop and Wake-on-LAN

Screen going black with AutoCAD (LT)
I am not sure what is the problem — I’ve upgraded Shan’s 27″ 2k monitor to a 32″ 4k monitor and AutoCAD LT recently updated from 2021 to 2022. Shan‘s been using a 2017 i5 NUC (NUC7i5BNB) with 32Gb RAM using the onboard GPU. Something that should be plenty for a bit of Windows, Chrome,…

Office 2010: cannot verify the license for this product

So far so good, installation went fine, etc. Once I started any Office app, it popped up this error: “Microsoft Office professional plus 2010…
