Solved Windows 10 20H2 update screen resolution issue: ultrawide monitor connected to Microsoft Surface Dock

 Today I received the Windows 10 version 20H2 update on my corporate Microsoft Surface. After rebooting I had screen resolution issues on my external Dell Ultrasharp 3419W ultrawide monitor which was connected to the Surface Dock. Instead of the 3440x1440 resolution my monitor started with a 1024x768 resolution. When I tried to change the resolution back to the 3440x1440 setting I noticed that the highest supported resolution was 1280x1024.

When I connected the monitor directly to the Surface the native resolution of 3440x1440 was back. Updating and removing the general monitor driver did not help either. When I downgraded back to Window 10 2004 the problem was gone and support for 3440x1440 was back on the Surface dock.

I finally figured out how to solve the issue between the Surface dock and Windows 10 20H2. I downloaded the official Dell driver for my monitor and changed the generic driver to this Dell U3419W driver. Then I reinstalled the Windows 10 20H2 feature update and when I rebooted the monitor connected on the Surface dock was still using the native 3440x1440 resolution.

CS8357: The specified version string contains wildcards, which are not compatible with determinism.

Today I was busy with creating a WCF service solution in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (15.9.2). In this solution I use a few C# class libraries based on .NET 4.7.2. When I compiled the solution I got this error message: Error CS8357: The specified version string contains wildcards, which are not compatible with determinism. Either remove wildcards from the version string, or disable determinism for this compilation The error message is linking to my AssemblyInfo.cs file of the Class library projects. In all the projects of this solution I use the wildcard notation for generating build and revision numbers. // Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values: // // Major Version // Minor Version // Build Number // Revision // // You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers // by using the '*' as shown below: // [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.

Assign an existing certificate to your IIS website with WiX

Recently I had to change the bindings of existing IIS hosted websites and APIs from HTTP to HTTPS. They are installed with a MSI file created with the WiX Toolset . Because I have to use an already on the server installed certificate I cannot use the Certificate element from the IIS Extension because this element only supports installing and uninstalling certificates based on PFX files. After doing some research I found the blog article Assign Certificate (Set HTTPS Binding certificate) to IIS website from Wix Installer which described the usage of Custom Actions for this purpose. I adopted this approach and rewrote the code for my scenario. With WiX I still create the website. <iis:WebSite Id="WebSite" ConfigureIfExists="yes" AutoStart="yes" Description="MyWebsite" Directory="IISROOT" StartOnInstall="yes"> <iis:WebAddress Id="WebSite"
