Win+; (character picker) is a great new feature for someone used to Mac OS X, even if it's a little half-baked.

Snow Fire posted:Apparently explorer.exe broke in Windows 11 beta and dev due to an advertisement for Teams, but thankfully a fix was quickly release, though it does requires the user edit the registry. Still, it's truly a wonderful example of innovative advancement that Microsoft can now render machines basically unusable without even needing an update to do it anymore~ I have MS Teams installed and running and I still get those loving advertisement notifications. (It does make me wonder whether if MS detects you running Webex that it will activate the nag, since I have to run that also.)

It's literally the way Windows still works. carry on then posted:Towards the end of its life, Windows Vista had so many updates and such an inefficient method of checking for them that you pretty much couldn't update a GM release of Vista via Windows Update. At least once I had to install both service packs manually, as well as several update rollups just to get Windows Update to actually start installing. Windows 10 is this way now. Not even starting from the GM. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Dec 1, 2021 |

I just went to Search Settings and it turns out that "Find My Files Classic" ("Classic"? Seriously?) is on by default, which searches only "libraries" and your Desktop. You have to set it to "Enhanced".

I mean, I already knew better, but I'm wondering if someone did it without knowing what they were doing and hilarity ensued. A few months ago they sent out a few increasingly desperate requests asking for more people to pilot Win 11. Most of our fleet are Skylakes.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Sorry to interrupt the fascinating slapfight over memory, but is there as much of an advantage of Windows 11 Pro over home compared to Windows 10? I recently got a new gaming laptop (which I upgraded to 32GB of DDR5 ASAP) that came with Win 11 Home installed, and I'm wondering if I should bother buying a Pro key to upgrade it. I probably will, since I did the same with my last laptop (also Win 11), but what would I be missing if I don't? Remote Desktop (whether that's worth the couple of bux for a pirate Pro key is up to you)

I loved Hackintosh and was a huge proponent of it for many years, but I think its time has definitely passed now.

Woke up to Win11 on my PC. I've installed Explorer Patcher, but I can't get Process Explorer to show up in the systray. When I go into the old-school "Notification Area Icons" control panel, and change Process Explorer to "Show icon and notifications", it doesn't stick. Same with anything else. Any ideas?

Nobody thinks anything of it if the map shows Indonesia, because it was never explained why the map mattered. Also, the GeoIP or whatever of your company's web proxy is usually in some big city that may or may not be anywhere near where you are located. My company's Citrix VDI terminates in India or France.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Yeah, that's my experience. Pretty sure we have SMS verification disabled, so if you don't have your phone with Microsoft Autheticator on it you're pretty much locked out if you do need to log in. At the office and the home machines I use for work, it retains the authentication for a long time and I can just log in as normal. If you follow the phone transfer process, it offers to wipe your old phone. This will lock you out of your account if you allow it, since the MS Auth app on the new phone is stuck in a useless state until you re-enroll every account again. ~Coxy posted:I've installed Explorer Patcher, but I can't get Process Explorer to show up in the systray.
