Thanks Brink! However, like I said, it's actually all working and I can see it actively releasing RAM and stopping various unnecessary windows services when a game is launched. The issue is that I don't see the Xbox Mode details in Windows>settings>gaming>game mode. I can access the overlay and...

Windows 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8457) I do NOT have "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" checked, but Xbox mode is 100% launching every time I open a game? I do NOT see the extra 'Xbox Mode' toggles in Settings>Gaming - only the normal Win 11 Gaming Mode (enabled). I had not...

Inside joke? Let me in on it. Ghot doesn't use Windows?

Just came across this and another similar. Sadly both don't allow any way to replace the simple press start and type winver/do the same in a run command window. Using the winver command for decades, it's just 'too hard basket' and both these lovely replacement apps fail by being unable to...

Thanks! Are you running a 23H3 machine? If so, did you see any impacts on SSD speeds or is this fringe issue stuff probably caused by other interfering 3rd party software since it doesn't seem like it's been widely reported beyond a couple of people?

The latest update doesn't mention any fixes for the SSD speed issues some faced? Any insights?

Shouldn't this work exactly the same for a mounted ISO? I tried running an elevated command prompt changing the 'D' to the mounted drive letter I have 'L' and got access denied on the first command. I then tried from an elevated terminal opened within the mounted ISO and got pretty much the same...

I just looked into this, and wanted to create a bootable USB Win 11 installation of the latest Win 11 23H2 Enterprise build I got from UUP Dump. I have successfully updated this PC (target machine I am creating the bootable drive on) with the CA 2023 certificates using the guide @Scott...

Thanks! I ran these commands from that post. So, basically as long as I do not update my BIOS (effectively resetting CMOS to factory), then I should in theory be good?

Safe to update, or best to wait for official? Current build:

So, if I did this and it said True (after 2 restarts etc), then my certs are updated and the mid 2026 thing is something that I need not worry about anymore? Hopefully that will resolve the recent issues I've seen in EventViewer about certs and even TPM failing.

For anyone who has set their group policy editor 'target feature update version' to stay on Win 11 23H2, and is perhaps 'worried' about getting these secure boot certificates updated automatically, I figured I'd share a little info to remove any unnecessary worry/mucking about with manually...

Oh wow! So, there's no simple fix as of now for the millions of users including enterprise and academic users who will be staying on 23H2 until Nov 2026? That's hilarious! I think I recall an identical issue a few years back that Microsoft literally resolved in what seemed like the final hours...

Very kind of you to offer this post! I also checked the other posts where some people are manually updating their security keys, which is crazy town for me - Microsoft will resolve this in time via a Windows update KB. Can I assume the preview build you posted updates these keys for the user...

This update was a dumpster fire for me, thankfully I created a Macrium image a day before! I ended up updating my Win 11 Pro license to Win 11 Enterprise so that I can enjoy uninterrupted support for 23H2 through Nov-2026. I use a WMR HMD that 24H2 will turn into a paperweight - yes I am aware...
