Tricky to remember now. I know 24H2 was installed and I started getting BSOD's, so I wanted to (and thought I had) uninstalled it. But perhaps I actually uninstalled a cumulative update to 24H2 that was actually the problem and happily thought I'd uninstalled 24H2. Difficult to know now. Happy...

Yeah, I was assuming it was some kind of OLED panel on the keyboard used as a trackpad perhaps.

I normally have the taskbar there permanently but I just tried turning on auto-hide. It auto-hid, and when I moused to where it should be, it unhid itself in the normal way. Not sure what you mean by "the OLED panel". If I've got one, I don't use it. I use an external USB mouse and keyboard...

It's confirmed (and I feel so stoopid now) - I do have 24H2 still. I watched this youtube video where it went through a bunch of the changes and I've got all of them. Cumulative updates here I come.

Well now I'm completely confused. I was 110% sure that I was on 23H2 because when I accidentally let 24H2 get installed, I started getting BSOD's within a couple of hours, so I uninstalled the 24H2 update. All went well. I then immediately implemented Shawn's update-blocking (super long pause...

I just tried this on my 23H2 to avoid getting 24H2 as I was feeling that there are probably some serious updates I should get whilst not getting 24H2. So I tried the commands above and briefly disabled Shawn's brilliant disable-all-updates feature. Strangely, I noticed a couple of cumulative...

Has anyone noticed that if you have an Explorer window open and you've navigated to a folder a few levels down and on the left, the path hierarchy is displayed in the normal way, but if you switch to other windows and don't look at it for a couple of hours, when you switch back to it, sometimes...

Do you have any more detail on using powershell to block it manually? This is my work and online banking machine, I can't trust things like shareware and github projects to run on it.

Oh well, I'll have to stick with this below until I get my next laptop (probably before the EOL of 23H2 anyway)

Strange, coz there's a lot of forum posts and youtube videos that describe how for Pro users, GPEdit.msc is the way to go, and for Home users, here's how to achieve exactly the same thing. I don't suppose there's another way of blacklisting the 24H2 update but allow any other 23H2 security...

I've just had a bad experience with the registry TargetReleaseVersion set to 23H2, it started downloading 24H2. Luckily I stopped it by pausing updates before it had chance to complete the download. Back story. I let 24H2 install on my 3 year old laptop that's been running Windows 11 the whole...

The problem is now gone !!!!! Got myself a Synology DS124 NAS and sharing that USB SSD from it is giving me 10x the performance I was getting from that same drive via the router's NAS function. Instead of 3-4MB/s I'm now getting 37MB/s which for now is perfect. I was surprised I had to install...

I forgot about an Android tablet that had previously browsed to the drive, so shut that down, then rebooted the router. As soon as it had come back up, I went straight to Explorer to point to it, and instantly all the folders were double-entried. It's most bizarre Same for me btw, I've been...

That's a good point, the Fritzbox has the ability to auto-update its firmware whenever it feels like without informing me unless I happen to login to the admin screen, which I typically don't. Yes the issue is also happening with only 1 active connection. I stopped my auto-rerunning batch file...

On my Fritzbox 7490 router, it has a feature where you can plug in a USB drive and it will be available to all users of the network in a NAS-like way. For the last couple of months (but never before that) I'm seeing duplicate files and folders, Sometimes two instances of each folder or file...
