well, yeah. I could install 23H2 via MCT. But I'm more wondering why it's not available via windows update in the first place. If there's some weird compatibility problem WU is detecting causing it to block 23H2 from being shown as an option... I'd like to know what it is? There should be a way to tell?

MS could have decided there is a potential issue with some hardware you are running. If that's the case and you are running pro, the holdback can be disabled in policy.

Does W11 do upgrade assistants still? If so, you could run the upgrade assistant and it could tell you why and/or install it for you. MS also has a page where it lists issues that are preventing wider rollout of an OS version and who's affected.

so uh, every other time I click on windows defender (seriously, it's that reliable) it shows that there's no tpm but it's definitely enabled in BIOS... can I safely chalk this up as another fun ui bug with windows defender like the LSA thing earlier this year?

I gave in and just burned the MCT to USB and did an in-place update to 23H2. Worked fine of course, but  why I couldn't just get it from windows update

Went to go make dinner while a Windows Update was pending and it installed while I was away. Just Cumulative Update KB5033372 for Windows 10, no big deal. Right? Why is Co-Pilot sitting in my system tray? Why would they back port this? Why does it make me think of this: pre:CO-PILOT FOUND YOU!!!
CO-PILOT FOUND YOU!!!

It was one thing too many to keep track of so it finally made me make a list of things to remove on new installs. Co pilot allowed me to be responsible I guess

I've got a several year old surface pro... I think 2017. It's running an i5-7300u w/8GB It is saying I can't run 11 through standard updates. I have 11 on a couple of other PCs and don't really mind it. Any practical downside to doing one of those "force 11" on it hacks?

slidebite posted:I've got a several year old surface pro... I think 2017.

The only real downside to bypassing checks is that microsoft says it's an unsupported installation and at some point things may stop working. So far they haven't and people are running windows 11 on old hardware just fine. It's possible that things will stop updating properly at some point in the future, however.

The worst risk here is that you end up unable to upgrade, but sticking on Windows 10 is also going to end in that state eventually too, so it's kind of a tossup.

Yeah just install it anyway, use Rufus to make a USB and use its CPU bypass or whatever. I have the same Surface Pro and the only thing that's been an issue is that Windows update won't do the big builds like 22H2 on its own, but also once 11 is on there the media creation tool will happily update-install those versions without caring about the CPU requirement

I generally doubt that MS will make PCs that have been forced to 11 stop getting updates. Unpatched PCs were a huge problem for them that they've spent a lot of time & money digging out from. IMO the biggest practical downside is that 11 may eventually mandate HVCI / memory integrity as something that can't be turned off, and certain tasks will take a big dump in performance on older CPUs. If you don't do anything that cares about performance on the PC it probably doesn't matter.

I did a fresh install from 10 to 21H2 and then a couple weeks ago when I realized it was still on that version I did the MCT in place upgrade to 23H2 which went just fine. It pulled down all the drivers just fine and has also still pulled the occasional Surface firmware update as well

Anyone know how to stop the "Restoring Network Connections" pop up? I put my PC in hibernate mode overnight and every morning I'm greeted with 5-10 of these windows telling me about the connection to my NAS.

Two possibilities I can think of: First, your NAS might be going into some kind of sleep mode when it's not being accessed for a while, and it takes a bit of time to get sufficiently alive again when you try to access after resuming your computer. Second, your computer might take a while to restart the network adapter after coming back from hibernate, so there's a period after waking up where it has no network. For this one, it might be possible to configure something in the driver to keep the network alive while the computer is in soft-off mode. Another option is to figure out what software you have running that wants to access your NAS all the time and either close/pause it before you go into hibernation, or see if you can convince the developer to add better support for sleep modes some way.

I have just the faintest memory of having to clean out stored network share credentials on a computer because of that error. It's not a time-out. It's like something trying to claim a drive letter that's already in use.

Yeah, is it the network sharing section? Your keyword is "unmap" network drive I think... You can always remap

I noticed my Cinebench scores are lower than expected and I found it was due to Defender's real-time protection. I see the Antimalware Service Executable hitting up to 2% during a Cinebench run, and its lowering scores by 3-4% compared to disabling real-time protection. Other benchmark apps are also affected but to a smaller degree. Is this a common issue with Windows 11 23H2? Is Defender mistaking Cinebench for a virus? On my old PC with Win10 the Antimalware Service stays at 0% during a benchmark and real-time protection doesn't affect scores.

In other news I had copilot just show up, seemingly unbidden, on the side of my display this morning. It's possible I hit a key combination by accident that activated it, but it's persisting even after disabling copilot in GPO.  Love how "Just kidding. You're great!" is a suggested response.

In danish rhry translated it to "unicode med stykliste" (the translated version word for Bill of Materials). God forbid they put any effort into anything)
