Yep, it's automatic giving you very little control. This might still be helpful to some people, but for me, my daily backup is my point in time restore mechanism.

I don't know if your PC is the same as my AMI BIOS based systems, but give this a try: Rather than F2, try tapping ESC repeatedly as soon as you power on the PC. On my PCs, pressing ESC brings up a boot menu. From that boot menu I can select a device to boot from, or I can select the option to...

I really have to wonder about this design decision. This could be a really useful feature if I could trigger it to take a snapshot at the time of my choosing, like just before I am about to experiment with something risky. As it stands right now, I see it as a totally useless feature for me.

I got it working. The problem seems to be just related to the installer. Here is what I did: I installed the screensaver. I searched for the .SCR file, on my system in was in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SciFi.scr Right click on that file and choose "install". That should be it. After doing that, it...

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Just to make sure that I understand you, are you saying that it flags Intel Bluetooth drivers on an AMD system that has no Intel Bluetooth devices?

Look, let's put to rest why SFC always flags Intel Bluetooth files as being problematic after Windows updates. I would think that this should be intuitively obvious, but everyone constantly complains about this. The files that Microsoft distributes for Intel Bluetooth do not match the files...

If you used that key on another machine, then it is legitimately denying you. Remember, a Windows 10 key equals a Windows 11 key. They are one and the same. A Win 10 key cannot be differentiated from Windows 11 key. So, an installation of Windows 10 counts exactly the same as a Windows 11...

Could you please provide more information such as: What exactly is happening when you connect a monitor via HDMI. Does Windows detect the monitor at all but you simply cannot extend the screen to it? Is this a laptop where the HDMI monitor is a second screen or is this a desktop that already...

If anyone really needs a 26200.9168 ISO, I've placed one up on OneDrive (link below). I made this by taking a genuine Microsoft ISO and then injecting the latest updates which were downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog, so everything comes from Microsoft. Of course you would still have...

Understood. I agree that it is not for everyone, in fact, that is a solution for very few. Still, I like to point out out becase some people are very vocal about not having current ISOs so I just like to point out that the resouces to do this are easily available to everyone these days. But I...

glasskuter pointed on one potential cause that should be easy to test: Antivirus software. Try disabling this temporarily and see if you still get the same results. I'm pointing this one out simply because it should be rather easy to test.

I always have on hand an ISO of the latest build. For example, my current ISO is 26200.9168. I simply take the most recent ISO that I have from Microsoft and inject the latest updates. I taught myself how to do this for that very reason - because Microsoft doesn't release the latest build as an...

Just to expand upon what Bree already noted, let's say that you currently have 24H2 and you have all the latest updates installed. In that case, you already have all the features of 25H2, they are simply dormant. WEhen you apply the enablement package, it simply switches on those features that...

I'm with you on this. I love the way Microsoft handles the licensing with 365. I reinstall Windows frequently on some machines but I can always reinstall 365 with no difficulties. I have the family plan even though I am the only person using it. But that plan lets you share with other people. I...
