I love how update and shut down in W11 is a gamble between actually shutting down after the update and just staying on.

To be fair, they managed to cock that up in Windows 10 too so that isn't exactly one of their Win11-exclusive features.

Anyone know of an app that can run through your computer and spit back a list of which folders have got the most crap in them? I only need local drives.

WizTree is super fast (way faster than WinDirStat) as it "cheats" by just parsing the NTFS MFT instead of actually traversing everything.

Freed up ~ 100 GB of hard drive space, feels good. It was actually the hibernate file, some weirdly large Chromium cache files, and system restore/shadow copies. But mostly the hibernate file, despite, y'know. Me loving disabling hibernate every goddamn time I reinstall. Might have been leftover from the time where I powered my computer off directly from sleep because high winds had knocked out the power. edit: also who the gently caress has a porn "folder" these days. Either go cloud-based and keep nothing on your computer, or get a NAS and archive that poo poo. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Apr 28, 2023 |

cloud based porn storage is next level galaxy brained ngl i'm impressed e: totally unrelated but has anyone tried the android integration recently? i remember holding off because i read it had performance issues when 11 first dropped but i'm curious as to whether they dealt with that in later patches site fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Apr 28, 2023 |

so is "kernal-mode hardware-enforced stack protection" something that is important? for some reason I keep seeing it turned off, I turn it back on and it makes me restart and it seems to be good, but I already did this exact thing 2 days ago and it seemed to be good then too, but it was off again today.

There's a bug in some Windows 11 builds relating to its reporting. It's also no longer showing in 22621.1635 for me.

runaway dog posted:so is "kernal-mode hardware-enforced stack protection" something that is important? It's a nice protection against a super-common method of attacking computers. (The buffer overrun, where a program writes data to its own memory and then just keeps on writing, which means it runs past the end of its buffer and into some other program's memory.) runaway dog posted:for some reason I keep seeing it turned off, I turn it back on and it makes me restart and it seems to be good, but I already did this exact thing 2 days ago and it seemed to be good then too, but it was off again today. It might be turning off because you don't have the right hardware: you need an Intel 11xxx / AMD Ryzen 5xxx CPU, or better. It also might be because you have drivers installed that aren't compatible (including anti-cheat for some games). And apparently sometimes it's a bug where the setting gets flipped off, you turn it back on, and then it still says it's off. It's a new thing, ignore the warnings for a month or two until MS gets their ducks in a row. But it is a good thing to have once they get it working.

sirbeefalot posted:Are there downsides to this method? Are the results potentially outdated or something? Doesn't work with anything that's not a local ntfs drive, has to run as admin to read the MFT, only works when scanning the full drive. (Vs normal scan methods, if you just want to scan your user folder or something, might actually be faster because they're only looking at the files and sub-directories therein.) Also if you're working on a SSD it's pretty fast to scan the normal way. IMO use whichever program has the UI that you like best. I always liked HDgraph, the pie-chart graph is far more readable to me. Always hated the squares style.

sirbeefalot posted:Are there downsides to this method? Are the results potentially outdated or something? I think it might misread junction points (used by WinSXS) as unique files, and possibly report sparse files as allocated and not used space, plus the issues listed by Klyith. Otherwise if you're mostly looking at 'normal' files it's great.

....I'm pretty sure at that point, you get an RPi and make it a dedicated print server. Then decommission the XP box. Into orbit.

Ask me about having to load a Windows 95 box.. ;_; I got customers that have been using the same software for that long and I support them when I can. I sold them a printer that supports everything from XP to Win 11 which is the HP Pro 400 fwiw.
