I suspect that since the end users are not admin, running that command as an admin locks them out from any interactivity. A workaround might be to run 2 tasks, one to notify the user about the pending update, allowing them to defer (say from a batch file), which after the task is allowed, calls...

Having just cleanly installed Windows 11 on my rig, I can say that this OOBE command works great - and it doesn't even have to be as soon as you get the screen for regional settings, either, it can be after that too. I also used this trick with new VMs for Windows 10 and Windows 11 - but Dev...

Is this for the Vaio system listed in your system specs? Typically with machines, the best way to accomplish this is to install the new drive, unplug (data) / remove the old drive, then install Windows. Once that is done, you add the old drive back in and make sure in the BIOS / UEFI Firmware...

Is that an MSI system (mobo / laptop), per chance? Whenever I cleanly install Windows on my MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE mobo-based system, I have to do exactly that to get Secure Boot to enable itself. Once you've done it, it's good, as you've now noticed.

That's an interesting take on it. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why I simply don't see it as much. Which, when tied in with the OP's analysis, as well as several other posters with similar issue, might, in fact, be a bit larger than this - not just a RAM mgmt issue, but also much larger...

Was the drive on the old system encrypted using BitLocker or anything else? Is the new drive on your new system encrypted with BitLocker?

Or it may be no problem at all. My sister recently built a new desktop rig to replace her laptop. When we copied a bunch of old Macrium Backups from an older 4 TB Seagate desktop external drive to a brand new LaCie Desktop external drive, she experienced the exact same thing - and this was on a...

Hey. man, better late then never! I'm currently making fresh VMs and making every single one a local account install, and I'll play with some services on them afterward.

So, I just cleanly installed Windows 11 on my system. And this is what I found. My system refuses to accept an Intel (Killer) drivers packaged as 3x.xx - but the older 3.xxxx drivers install fine. The latest of those is 3.1122.1105, and I can now reliably find older versions of this chain of...

Actually, this one might help, as there is a powershell script proposed to https://superuser.com/questions/25509/robocopy-permission-denied

Extremely old post with a similar error over at StackOverflow, with 4 different solutions proposed. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38607380/robocopy-access-denied-despite-having-full-control And then there is this: https://community.spiceworks.com/t/robocopy-ignore-errors/772705/3 /NDL...

@Ztruker - is this an off-the-shelf NAS, or one that you built yourself? Either way - any recent NAS software updates?

So, yeah, I got the file already, as seen in the second screen shot, boxed in green. It's just irritating that it would not show it until I selected a driver version older than 23.30.x, as that was showing as the newest. This seems to happen to me every time a new driver is out and reported...

The new Outlook that has replaced Mail and Calendar is faster for me than Mail and Calendar ever was. I have 4 Outlook.com accounts (well, 3, one is still receiving mail only as a hotmail.com account because the same username in outlook.com was already taken), and it loads almost too fast - I...
