  1. Microsoft bricks Help features in MS-Office 2019? Seriously?

    I rarely use Help, but Office 2019 is still relatively unexplored for me... so when I needed to do something I hadn't before, I clicked on the Help option. Imagine my surprise when I found that when they ended support in Oct 2025 they actually deleted the on-line Help data. Gone. The only Help...
  2. Sleep modes? Something more traditional?

    Thanks all. I'll do some reading. It's clearly S3 that I'd like... a real sleep mode. I'll come back with questions once I have a feel for the details.
  3. Sleep modes? Something more traditional?

    I'm wondering if there's a Sleep Mode variation I've missed. Or perhaps a way to tweak "Modern Sleep" to act like the more traditional modes. Maybe even just a guide to what hardware & software to tweak to get back there. When I first got Win 11, I noticed that my machine was waking up in the...
  4. Wine DVM Performance Degraded?

    FWIW, my problem as resolved itself in the last week. File operations through Vine are back to reasonable speed. The only Windows changes I see in the time frame are: I haven't done any other program installs or updates. It's possible it could be my A/V but I did try shutting that off at the...
  5. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    Thanks again. I'll leave it in there then.
  6. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    Yes, output edit/added to my post above. I think I'm all set. Can I disable the Task Scheduler Task now?
  7. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    Alright, thanks for the details, enabled and run. The thought did occur tot me that maybe it just needed to be enabled but I figured I'd ask since I definitely didn't take any specific steps to make that happen. Couple remaining questions... 1) I clicked "Run"... it's now running. Isn't this...
  8. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    @garlin : Decided not to wait... I chose option "add the 2023 certs and disable the 2011 certs". I successfully added the reg key. When I run the command to add the task, it appears to add it but says the task is disabled. I'm doing this at an Admin Command Prompt: c:\>powershell...
  9. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    Thanks. I'll run through that and follow up tomorrow.
  10. Did you manually update your Secure Boot Keys ?

    Folks: Guide me! If I run the suggested EFIBootFile.ps1, here's the output. PS C:\Users\xxx> Check_EFIBootFile.ps1 Secure Boot: ENABLED EFI DB Certificates ------------------- Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 Windows UEFI CA 2023 Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011...
  11. Win Update KB5074828 .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 (25H2) - Jan. 29

    FWIW: MS is still saying "No known issues", but this issue is fairly widely reported. Probably minutia for most users. Known Issues: Timezone Errors: Breaks DateTime.Now handling in Native AOT, causing -13 hour offsets App Crashes: Reports of Calculator app failing to open...
  12. Wine DVM Performance Degraded?

    I installed WineDVM to run and antique 16 bit program I still like to use about a year ago when I first moved to Win11 (new machine). It worked well... with very slight delays for initial startup vs. when it last ran in native mode (Win 7). Otherwise it seemed like performance was fairly...
  13. Significant difference between "Size" and "Size on disk"?

    Finally getting back to this: Any ideas?
  14. Win Update KB5074105 Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview build 26100.7705 (24H2) and 26200.7705 (25H2) - Jan. 29

    Showed up for me in Windows Update. Installed, restarted, all my desktop icons were black boxes. Nothing I did to refresh them helped. (Didn't do the cache delete thingy). Restarted again, everything appears normal.
  15. Significant difference between "Size" and "Size on disk"?

    Thanks. I'll see if I can see the formatting and/or just reformat to a smaller block size. This is just backup, so speed isn't that much of an issue.
