Test equipment: which was the first to incorporate Windows?

04-30-2013, 05:14 AM

This thread mainly concerns part of a computer, its operating system.

Since I have seen some test equipment which runs Windows (such as Tektronix equipment - I have confirmed that Windows 95 onwards has been used by this manufacturer), and I even saw one piece of test equipment use Windows 3.1.

With that in mind, I am curious about knowing the make and model of test equipment which was the first to incorporate Windows (and what version as well) as part of the test equipment software.

My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error re. old drivers in Windows 11 install image

by japlytic
In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
- BIOS + database update
- Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
- Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
- Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
- TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
- Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)

by AppleLover123
