The update Troubleshooter couldn't find/fix the problem. It offered to send me to an agent, but that's pointless. There's never been a problem with downloading the update, it always does that. It only fails during the installation phase, getting to 37% for a long while, then 40% and then jumps...

Not sure what you mean here: how does Rufus help with installing updates?

Failing with Install error - 0x800f0922. I have retried the update several times but it fails each time, same place (40%) and with same error code. The odd thing is this occurs while installing KB5044384 which shows as successfully installed previously in Update History. I'm confused why it...

I think I fixed it... I downloaded KB5044384 and the other needed packages to create an installation ISO for the 24h2, build 26100.2152, Insider Preview Edition. I used that installation ISO to do a "repair install with in-place upgrade". Now it simply stops at some point should Update begin a...

I'm having difficulty with installing the 24h2 Cumulative updates. It's constantly failing. The only response is it gets to 100% then flashes to a "Something went wrong...." message and rolls it all back. I'm currently on 24h2 build 26100.1742 I don't get a "failed to update" in Windows Update...

Install and run Crucial's Storage Executive utility. In the Drive Details screen it shows whether the drive supports HMB and is enabled. Storage Executive is for Crucial's drives and provides limited information for others so if your drive isn't one it may not show it. It's also the tool for...

I think that's the "money line" :) It sounds like even if things go wrong I'm not really going to lose more than a couple hours to reinstall Windows and recover my user files from a file history. But now the second part of my question... Should I really worry about the threat this is fixing? I...

I'm on Win 11 Ver 22H2 build 22621.1702 I was reading about this and became a bit concerned by how involved it seems to be. But am also left unsure just whether I should do anything or just wait for the changes to roll out, and if I should do something exactly what and when. The whole topic is...

hmmm...I just a few weeks ago bought this "genuine" Asus TPM for my board for $25. I put it in quotes because it says "ASUS" on it but...... You don't follow AMD so may not be aware of some of the teething problems of their new platforms. One was an issue where the fTPM did indeed cause...

If you'd read my response you'd see I was troubleshooting. Do remember that since Ryzen processors (at one time) were experiencing problems with audio glitching and game stuttering when using their in-built fTPM's. The thing is, if counterfeiting is a problem then buying a (supposedly)...

I was using the fTPM in my 5800X before but I was having problems with audio and game stuttering. I thought why not go the discrete route just to be certain since they're pretty cheap and available now. Turned out not to be the source of the problem but I'm leaving it in. As far as security and...

Would someone expand on this please? Specifically: what's meant by "counterfeit" in this context. Is it the TPM module in its entirety that's counterfeit? or is it the TPM chip on the module? I recently bought a TPM 2.0 module for my Asus motherboard which uses a Nuvoton TPM 2.0 chip on it...

I understand....I think of what you did to make an installer that will install the updated Realtek WHQL signed drivers as a customization of sorts, even if not for the driver. And thanks for that link...I'll pick up the Ethernet driver and install it ASAP. I've already installed the latest...

Thanks for the tips (both for hibernation and fast startup) even though it had no effect on the problem...see my prior post. Still, it makes sense to disable them since, with a fast NVME system drive, my startup speed is unaffected by disabling them. It makes sense because I like the reduced...

Well...to followup. I tried most all the suggestions, including installing @MoKiChU 's customized Asus driver pack and disabling hibernation and fast startup. All to no avail as I was still getting latency glitches on cold startups but OK on a warm restart. Decided that before I went the new...
