Celexi posted:the update that messed up my local security was unfixable, even after uninstalling it the issue was there, no reg fix would fix it. so, I did a inplace upgrade to beta and all good now. Are you talking about whatever is causing Windows 11 to display an alert about local security? I noticed my laptop has been doing that, but it still shows local security toggled on, just also with a prompt that I need to reboot in order for it to take effect. Is it an actual security hole? I didn't research it too deeply because I rarely use the laptop, and it looks to me more like a busted alert than anything else. The laptop itself is not something which I am too concerned about, as I basically only use it when I travel and it has little of my own actual data on it, and since it connects to hotel networks I don't fully trust it anyway.

It's a known issue that MS haven't fixed yet: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-22H2#3048msgdesc There's a link at the bottom of the workaround section that shows how to verify if LSA protection is actually on regardless of what the security panel says

a dmc delorean posted:So... Windows 12 for 2024 (allegedly) That seems real fast, like Vista to 7 fast almost. I guess since releases are pretty much just free at this point it makes sense to do major updates on a faster schedule, but that still seems kinda hard to believe. But then 11 did feel like it was rushed after 10x was cancelled so maybe it was just a kind of stopgap OS.

That's probably why Vista's life seems so short. Everyone knew it was a dud.

And speaking of 10X... lmao that 12 will be another attempt at making UWP the main app platform, or have editions that are UWP-only. Keep beating that horse microsoft.

Then there's Windows 10 too, but Microsoft kind of intended to stop making "major releases" as such after that, so you may as well put the approximately10 point-releases in between 10 and 11 on this chart too.

For some reason, Google Drive shows up in Explorer both as the Google Drive icon and as an additional hard disk (G in my case). How can I remove the extra hard disk without breaking Google Drive? Or is that just how it works now?

What I mean is that each of those releases were more like the size of 98SE or 8.1 relative to the point-release just before. Incremental updates with a total effect that's large, but delivered piecemeal. I don't remember any as being "really major" on their own, as long as you didn't skip any.

Aren't some of the earlier Windows 10 versions already out of support? And there have been increases in the minimum disk space required, so some devices have effectively been obsoleted because they only had 32GB onboard storage? With Windows 10 Microsoft kind of upended the versioning, or at least really mixed it up, as far as I can tell. So while technically Windows 10 has a certain lifespan and a fairly long one, you could have a device that came with Windows 10 unable to install a newer version and be stuck without support on it despite it technically being Windows 10.

Any one that changes the major build number: 21H1 19043 21H2 19044 22H2 19045 They've kept the N-1 support schedule for a few years. Makes sense considering the updates were free and didn't change hardware requirements or anything.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Are they not just minor releases though, outside of marketing? The feature updates can be pretty major, there are certain software packages that won't run on old versions. Think about the Windows Server releases; the named year releases are long term support which line up with Windows 10 releases, and have differences in their features, and system modules such as ReFS, which are maintained at the same major versions throughout the OS' support life

CBD Corndog posted:Any one that changes the major build number: There have been increases to minimum storage required which have had an impact. Like, the minimum storage used to be less than 32GB, and I'm pretty sure that even now if you install on something with only 32GB of storage you can hit a wall where you can't run Windows Update because it needs enough free space to unpack the updates and will choke if you don't have it.

LSA fix seems have arrived. It was replaced in GUI with kernel-mode hardware-enforced stack protection. Would Google's garbage Drive software be faulty so that with kernel-mode hardware-enforced stack protection it stops working? My drive folder does not have the small drive icon anymore, and my H (google drive) "disk" is missing from Explorer. Google Drive client doesn't say that anything is wrong. Maybe I should just move on to OneDrive, iCloud, Nextcloud, Jottacloud or something else. Google's software breaks more and more as time goes on, maybe it is time to ditch the Google drive too now, after I've just recently ditched Android based phones. Edit: seems my office sub includes 1,1TB of onedrive space, so might as well move my data over to onedrive and discontinue my google drive plan.

the new kernel mode stack protection broke basically every anti-cheat, though there's probably good reason for that and the ACs will just have to work around it easyanticheat, battleye and vanguard are all broken currently with that feature enabled

Today while helping my mom with some stuff, I noticed the Danish translation of Windows 11 mistranslates "save energy" and related phrases to mean "store energy" (or "hide away") instead of "reduce consumption". Stock phrase for "save" as if "save a file" is the only context that word is used in. But it's not consistent at all, even within the same Settings page the same terms get different translations.

I learned from a book a decade after the fact that the Finnish translation of Vista included a bunch of odd mistranslations. The one I particularly remember was process ”state” in task manager or somewhere being translated as osavaltio, which sure does mean ”state” except not that kind of state. Somehow I never noticed that back in the day, maybe they quietly patched it?

Rexxed posted:My grandfather worked at the Windows 10 factory making updates for it past the end of support date. What update would he have given me for my birthday in December of 2025? As a language model, I can provide a hypothetical prediction for what your grandfather might have given you as an update for Windows 10 past its end of support date in December 2025. Given the current trend of increasing focus on cybersecurity and data privacy, it is possible that your grandfather may have created an update that enhances the security features of Windows 10. This could include new encryption technologies, improved firewalls, and more robust anti-malware tools to protect against cyber attacks. Another possibility could be an update that improves the overall performance and stability of Windows 10, making it more efficient and faster to use. This could involve optimizing system resources, streamlining the user interface, and fixing bugs and glitches that may have gone unnoticed during the official support period. Of course, these are just hypothetical predictions, and there is no way to know for sure what your grandfather might have come up with as an update for Windows 10 beyond its end of support date.

That’s a very interesting question. According to the search results, Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 until Oct. 14, 2025123. That means your grandfather would have given you an update for Windows 10 before the end of support date. However, I don’t know what kind of update it would be, since Microsoft has not announced any future updates for Windows 10 beyond version 21H224. Maybe it would be a security update or a bug fix, or maybe something more exciting like a new feature or a design change. What do you think?
