If you need vivetool or other things to enable / disable Windows features then your system IMHO alrady has problems. Any "enablement" of Windows features should be able to be done from entirely within Windows itself. Cheers jimbo

Hi folks Many use Linux with KVM/QEMU to run W11 Virtual machines. Don't forget to install the virtio drivers ON THE VIRTUAL: MACHINE for any Linux host where you are running KVM/QEMU for your virtual Windows machines. These are available from the Fedora site (you don't have to use Fedora !)...

NO !!! can't be bothered -- not a gamer -- OK probably a minority of 1 here but the only games I play are a bit of old fashioned Spider Solitaire or Hearts when attending boring meetings !!!!. e.g Hearts (old W7 / W2K3 / XP game) that was bundled with those releases of Windows. You can still...

Hi folks Love the facility with the phone link - using VLC from the phone app to browse network the option also to play even video files as audio on the computer is great !!!! -- also DVD iso files stored on internal memory play video with menus on the computer perfectly. I like this new...

Probably the error is also whether it's US bonkers date format or more sensible European one of dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd. The US system is a hodgepodge with no easily sorting algorithm etc. But again it depends on the base version of your Windows install whether it was UK / International...

If you use things like Netflix / prime video ensure you EXIT them before shutting down computer or doing other tasks -- these services can keep transmitting data (and 4K movies / series can swallow up a lot of data quickly) if you don't terminate them when finished viewing. Series in particular...

All fixed with latest 26H2 update 262300 experimental build with local account !! Cheers jimbo

Working perfectly -- also the phone link working properly - no need for Ms account sign in or set a pin number -- plus the annoying nag from windows security saying please turn on when it was already on !!! has gone . running from local account on laptop : Also working perfectly as a VM on...

Hi folks All I want is to simply mirror phone screen and handle from laptop as on this 26H2 build and control /handle calls. Working here - but fails once update on 26H2 wants on Windows boot / start up a Ms sign in and wretched pin number -- that seems to break a few things Running 26H2 again...

Expanded view, show apps etc -- all I want is just "bog standard mirror to PC" which isn't working !!!! It might be on other builds of Windows. Surely if you want "ex tras" etc they should be optional extras that the user can either use or not use at will. Keep the basic stuff working properly...

Hi folks What IS WRONG with Ms -- perfectly good working version of Phone Link to Windows where your phone screen is mirrored to the PC - replicates your phone screen to the PC and using the mouse you can run your phone apps etc. (Windows 26H2 build I'm on with Samsung S26 ultra phone). After...

Makes sense - why on earth have A/B testing - just makes things more complicated than they need to be. Simply roll out a new build - it either works, doesn't work or partially works - deal with those issues. Please also above anything else BEFORE releasing a new build TEST REGRESSION (Caps...

I have a Samsung android phone so it might not be the same but for me I have to go to settings, enable bue tooth, and then look at connected devices and enable link to windows Then ensure your pc accepts any prompt to allow connection and you are then (or should be) back in business. Cheers...

Oh dear !! Datacentres are NOT useless you need to understand exactly what they do -. AI tools also DO work for many tasks often saving days of boring repetitive drudge work. Note also AI is just "Intelligence" which can of course be used for good or evil in the same way that "Biological...

What happens if there's a power outage / internet is hacked etc etc. Also what about people who want stuff totally private so don't want to put it out on the Internet but will still need to process it locally. Nothing wrong in theory about "Cloud PC" for some purposes -- but also remember then...
