Thanks Ants posted:I am also on the anti-Chromium bandwagon as I don't want it to become the Trident engine of the 2020s where sites are written for it rather than to standards firefox (all platforms) - 2.93% firefox (desktop) - 7.87% firefox (mobile) - 0.49% it's already joever

Just wanna complain about this because I was so annoyed about it. I reinstalled Windows to one of my drives Sunday and all "appeared" well. Then the ordeal started. Errors in Windows Update. Reviewing some stuff, I tried the usual dism /restorehealth and sfc /scannow. Both would fail completely. Sfc would report it couldn't even start the repair service. Dism would whine the sources were bad. Restarting services and such didn't work. Even if I downloaded a fresh iso and /sourced it, it would say the sources were no good. Indexes made no difference. trying to do an in place reinstall would also fail inexplicably for no real reason. Ended up having to just completely reinstall the system with rufus, bypassing my Microsoft account. Idek why these issues started anyway, maybe something corrupted in my backup I just willy nilly utilized on the first install. Also /OneDrive/ was infested into my home directories despite the fact it wasn't even installed on the restore. Thankfully that issue is also gone now. Now that's seems all fixed but the coolest thing to me is that if you have a severe problem with your Windows install you basically have 2-3 options and if none of then work the entire force of the support community for a Microsoft goes well, sucks to suck. Sorry you only have these arcane commands and if they don't work you're SOL. Granted I prob would not have been so hesitant to reinstall fresh if it wasn't just such a pain and didn't take like an hour.

Might also want to run a memory test, just to be on the safe side.

Can someone recommend a book, blog, or video that dives into how Windows 10/11 actually runs? My current understanding of Windows is from the user's perspective. I'd like to better understand what is happening behind the scenes and how Windows processes and services work. If I have a brand new Windows 10/11 install without any bloatware, what processes are running by default and what are they doing? That kind of stuff. I know it's a huge topic and my ultimate end goal is to improve my understanding of Windows from a cyber defense perspective.

imo, playing with Linux, you'll start to grasp a lot of the background work going on. The super underlying processes at work -- services running through a kernel -- are fundamental. Then you'll have a handle on a starting point to begin to see the comparisons and contrasts that make Windows different from Unix systems. Or start looking into The Microsoft NT kernel, start low and work upwards through the stacks. and/or --- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/resources/windows-internals

Nah, I had that type of poo poo happen with 10 twice. Hardware was not the problem. And it was 100% inexplicable, nothing like a half-restored backup or anything else as a possible cause. Also generally centered around an update that either wedged & failed, or installed but broke the desktop in the process. Basically modern windows is super reliable... until it has a problem, at which point it is super difficult to troubleshoot. MS has been very neglectful of good error reporting to the event log for all the UI and desktop-user stuff. When XP or 7 had problems I could figure them out. For 10 I sacrificed chickens and other complete voodoo like dism-sfc or powershell AppxPackage re-registering.

Hey, on Windows 10, anyone know if it's possible to make 'Date Modified' one of the default sort options for every folder?

Date Modified has always been one of the default columns for me as long as I switch to Details view.

Honestly find it somehow insulting that Windows install asks if you wanna call someone. Just give me real logs. please god

Is there a way to get rid of the "send crash data to Microsoft?" Pop-up when an app crashes and I force close it? It's minor but it's an annoying extra click to make a frozen app go away.

I use Winaero Tweaker and there's an option for that. (https://winaero.com/disable-error-r...=errorreporting)
