WOW, I just found out a little while ago that I had Device encryption On. Probably was enabled by this update or by a repair install I did a month ago. Anyway, thanks to the videos posted by @DSAND1 I realized that Device encryption was On. My drive was not fully encrypted since I do not use a...

@Senecio @Awesomehorse I had something like that happen in my HP Desktop computer a few days before this update. The 3 keys (f1, f2,f3) that handle volume in my W11 all of the sudden stopped working. I solved the issue by rebooting. Perhaps a reboot would have solved your issue as well...

I set up my W11 computer with no Microsoft account 6 months ago. I did step 15, using "start ms-cxh:localonly" The first time I clicked Shift + F10, the Command prompt did not open. After clicking a few times, about 5 Command prompts opened. I closed them all except one and typed start...

Hi @nobleflame I don't know what Event id 3 is but I can tell you where the clue is. Look in the Event for the line like the one below: Primary Device Name:PCI\VEN_1E0F&DEV_001A&SUBSYS_001A1E0F&REV_01 The clue are the four digits between VEN_ and &DEV_. In the example above, the digits are...

Maybe MS can tell I prefer it leaves my computer as is. :D All my settings in Personalization>Start are....Off. Bo

I'll add...some confusion. Yesterday I got the new Start menu, my first look of it was with Pinned items on top and the menu below listing apps alphabetically. I left it like that as it was the closest to the old Start menu. I rebooted a few times during the day and the new Start menu was always...

Thanks @fg2001gf11F That is what I wanted to be confirmed. This issue probably started with one of the preview updates that were released in January. I didn't install any of those updates but I know I read about this issue somewhere. After posting earlier today, I ran the legacy Disk cleanup...

@hader Hi hader. What I am asking is for someone to confirm whether Storage sense is working properly or not in W11 after installing February's updates. Windows Updates Cleanup files do not appear in my Temporary files in Settings, that is why I am asking. :-) Bo

I updated my W11 yesterday. All seems well, except Storage sense. I read in a couple of posts in this thread about Storage sense not showing Windows.old but no one has mentioned Windows Updates Cleanup Files not appearing when opening Temporary files in Settings. Can someone confirm that this...

Yes, what you are experiencing now is an incompatibility issue between Sandboxie and Edge (all Chromium based browsers), caused by a recent Edge update. But I can assure you, that very soon there will be a new Sandboxie version released that will fix this issue. You just have to be patient. For...

Thanks for this Brink. It worked fine for me (26200.7171). Bo

If that happens (breaking the computers), I hope they do get fined. I am not in Europe but good for the EU. Bo

I forgot to mention a couple of things in my post. The first one, I think is funny, and it made me smile today (the 15th) when I saw in my W10 for the first time ever MS offering the ESU program in exchange (I didn't click anything but likely) for creating a MS account. If only they knew...

Privacy is important but not a big reason in the Why I prefer using a Local account over a Microsoft account. I think the most important reason for me to use a Local account is that by not using a MS account, I am not allowed to use certain features, benefits or apps that nowadays comes with...
