Do you have service pack 2 installed? It's supposed to help with some known printing issues. Beyond that you might be SOL since it's old software

It's not. It will say Windows 11 Ent or Enterprise instead of Pro

If you have Windows 11 Home/Pro you install KB5121767 if it's an enterprise licensed copy of Windows you install KB5121768. You don't/can't install both. Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | select Caption will tell you which edition you have.

You're assuming there are not other ways Microsoft tracks and stores this value. I see it being built into other MS products.

Who the scheduled job executes as is configured in the schedule task By default only members of the Administrators group can run scheduled tasks as a batch job. On Pro it's easier to assign this right to other users. 'Windows key' + r Type 'secpol.msc' 'Local Policies' 'User Rights...

Probably need to see how the task is configured. When you 'run manually' the task runs in your interactive session. When a scheduled task runs on a schedule it runs as a true batch job. There are different permissions required for interactive vs batch. Also is this Home or Pro edition of Windows?

I would start by opening an elevated powershell prompt and typing Get-MpThreat and providing the output. Need to know where the threat is originating from.

Well back then you had much smaller, lower resolution monitors and as far as I know most people didn't have multiple monitors

A screensaver is a program. If it's really old it may simply lack the ability to support multi monitors. There's no way to fix that unless you have the source code and can implement multi monitor support

That tracking data isn't supposed to be tied to a human identity, but it likely is easily inferred which human identity is associated to which GDID especially if you use any Microsoft linked account, which is clearly what Microsoft has been trying to force down everyone's throats. I would...

Diskpart enumerates disks differently and just generates a sequential order of volumes. Device paths are objects created by the Windows kernel, so two different systems inventorying the disk volumes for different purposes.

Well in a home network is pretty common for either the first or last addressable address to be the default gateway. In a home networks that's usually your router. Anything with the destination 224.x.x.x is multicast address space, so any number of services can make these types of network...

Windows 11 really turned me off to Microsoft. Too many forced choices.

Saw this a few days ago. It just makes you shake your head at what some companies will do to try and drum up business and what other companies will do for a pay out.

The LSA process can have a lot of sensitive data stored in process memory. Running LSASS as a protected process helps protect the process memory from credential dumping attacks like Mimikatz. It's highly unlikely turning it on would impact anything, but also it's not as useful a feature in a...
