You always need admin privileges (run your editor as Adminstrator) to edit the host file.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/delete-your-previous-version-of-windows-f8b26680-e083-c710-b757-7567d69dbb74 That will delete Windows.old properly (and you won't run into permission issues either, doing so).

If your disk crashed/large portions got corrupted, then the entire filesystem is in an unidentified state (including access rights). As I keep saying. kinda pointless to start a repair, in that case. Honestly, try a media check first (check for bad sectors and such, check your SSD status, etc)...

Likely not even Windows leaving it there. Looks ere like your camera software. And even if it really is Windows doing it, it's the Temp folder, so who cares? Those seem to be error logs, so maybe that's why your program leaves them there.

I would still do a media scan/repair. Windows doesn't just get corrupted to the degree yours did, without good reason.

There have to be other ways to check the integrity of your disk. If you have an SSD, that usually comes with its own integrity check, that does not depend on NTFS or anything.

Does that Lenovo Diagnostics tool also do a STRESS test? (Like OCCT). You want to draw as much power as possible, basically. :-) To see whether your PSU can withstand the load.

Sponteneous reboots, without a BSOD, are often PSU related (unstable and/or undervolting of some sort). There was exactly 1 time a nVidia driver version caused an undervolting of the card, which also led to a reboot (this only lasted for 1 day, as, contrary to popular belief, they're not crazy...

Except they do work: just not permanently. My advice would be to create a boot USB, and do a disk check first. Things don't get corrupted ex nihilo.

Showing, yes, but happily, I dunno. ;-) Here is my old look (see below). It has literal lines around the logical cores,making it so much clearer. But apparently the new UI is not bug, so I guess I will have to live with it.

In 'overall view' I can no longer distinguish between my P/E core utilization. It then all looks like 1 single CPU.

Yes, I switched to logical CPU view. I always do, as I want to see the P/E cores individually. Prior to 22H2, the logical cores were neatly delineated, and now they're all on 1 grid, as it were.

Stable for me too, except that I lost the calculator app, and the pinned items were set to default on 'start'. 22H2 is essentially an inplace reinstall, and thus fixed a longstanding error for me, where I wasn't able to install the latest cumulative updates.

Running Windows 11 Pro, 22H2, I noticed my Task Manger is now showing a borked, undelineated logical CPU view (see below). I tried several views, but can't get the old view back. Any way to restore this? Colors are gone too, on processes view.

Running Windows 11 Pro, 21H2, I am unable to KB5016629 (and the last 3 cumulative updates, for that matter). Every time it fails with the horrifically undescriptive 0x80073701 error. Even when I try and be smart about it, and examnine the CBS.log for ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING notices, I get...
