And the missing details revealed: Microsoft Surface Laptop 6 or 7 with Windows 11 24H2. Seems like Windows Update had been disabled from when purchased due to poor Internet connection in their area. They called it a "tower" as that was their previous computer, so they assumed the Surface...

Definitely not recent. I wonder what this user would need to do to gain access back to their Recall data. Strange that Recall has been working all this time (based on what they told me) until now.

Windows 11 Pro 25H2 26200.8524 Microsoft account signed in using Windows Hello PIN security. BitLocker currently disabled (testing purposes, not actually running Recall). Sign in to Windows 11 using PIN. When opening Recall in Windows 11, this message appears: Microsoft Copilot answer on...

I got out of programming several decades ago and glad I did. Lots of new tools and programming is entirely different from back when I started to now. Just seems when AI programming is involved, there are more AI enforcement of use with it.

All about Microsoft AI integration and to make Windows worse. I know this is for developers, but nothing about making Windows 11 better.

Nothing blocking.

That makes sense as Firefox works that way.

Part of Copilot answer is this: I do not know if I am understanding "Open tabs" sync in Microsoft Edge. When Microsoft Edge syncs Open tabs in the browser to another instance, does it actually open those "Open tabs" sync from the other device in an actual tab, or does it just show a list of...

Microsoft Edge is set up correctly and Open tabs do not sync. Copilot did not answer it: Edge sync works by signing both of your laptops into the same Microsoft account and securely syncing selected browser data through Microsoft’s cloud. The core idea: anything you enable in Sync Settings is...

Both computers (2 laptops): Windows 11 Pro 26200.8524 Microsoft Edge 148.0.3967.96 Microsoft Edge signed in to the same outlook.com account. I have been trying to get Open tabs sync to work between two Microsoft Edge instances and I cannot get Open tabs to sync and open on the other browser...

After search and searching for a solution, as soon as I posted this problem, I think I found the setting. In Google Chrome 149.0.7827.22 Settigs > Accessibility I disabled the Live Caption setting. This setting was not there before and Google Chrome just updated today.

Windows 11 Pro 26200.8457 Local user account For the past few weeks I keep having Live Captions taking over the screen and I do not have Live Captions enabled (they are disabled). This is very annoying and need to find out how to disable this feature that is already disabled in Windows 11...

Good article. Thanks.

I'm still trying to understand the Pluton Processor and that helps. Microsoft description that I read seems like Pluton provided more protection, guess not. I thought Microsoft Pluton Processor added another layer security preventing such access to Bitlocker keys/codes.

I haven't read anything about the extra layer of TPM 2.0 security from the Microsoft Pluton security processor. This supposedly adds another layer of protection: Also: Zero Trust Architecture: It provides hardware-based security for Windows 11 features, including BitLocker, Windows Hello, and...
