you use the internet, what you search for, the sites you visit, that's your personal data that they siphon. browser with this ID was searching for this and that, and visiting these kinds of websites, send ads for things that match up with habits in that browser. your name and personal details...

So Webkit, except it siphons all your personal data/telemetry to Google instead of Microsoft. are there any browsers left that don't use Webkit? Aside from Firefox, I think everything is. Kinda weird that the most popular browser in the world for Windows was created by Apple.

Edge is just Webkit, which is based on Safari, and the basis for Chromium - it's Chrome, Edge, Opera, et al. The original Edge was at least its own animal, but they didn't put the resources into it to make it worth a lick, and just grabbed the Chromium base and did it that way. Shame really...

IE was never a good browser, it was a shiny blue bug laden, slow POS security nightmare from day 1 to today except it still runs just fine on Windows 11 even today. It may be a glitch or a bug, but I can absolutely launch it and browse the internet.

Running the previously released 22621.1 from the beta channel, it also identifies as 22H2, suspect the same build just got pushed to release preview channel with no changes.

Oddly it started working again as soon as I posted - still delayed 15-20 seconds, but not stuck - on Sunday night, it stayed put for almost 2 hours

Noticed that if you open the taskbar flyout to see hidden icons on this build, it never closes unless you click the arrow again, no way this is by design - I used it to open a program, then launched a game - ended up with the flyout overlaying the game and no way to close it without leaving the...

it's a necessity for networking - but like I said, you don't need it to be a user account that you use. right click the start button on the Windows 10 host, choose computer management go to users and groups, click users, right click, create user make your dummy account for file sharing, set a...

in file explorer, go to \\nameofhostcomputer\sharename replace that with the actual computer name and share name, it'll ask you for a user name and password, use computername\username password for computername, use the name of the host computer, and username, a local user on that computer...

When you're creating the VM, point it at a Windows 11 ISO - it won't start the install of Windows until you power it on. After you're done configuring it, power it on the boot sequence probably won't give you time to hit a key to boot from the ISO file - just choose "send ctrl+alt+del" in the...

Just an FYI what the TPM hardware is on the computer doesn't matter for a Hyper-V VM, my media server also hosts some test VMs, and it's an i7-4770k, no TPM at all, it runs Windows 11 in a VM with no errors, warnings, or other issues. Create the VM, and before you install Windows 11, enable...

Wound up getting the message that my system would not receive the final version, and would be force to clean install 10 after the last update, so rolled back to 10 (Acronis backup did a brilliant job of that, very happy with how well it worked) - going back to 10 fixed the speed issues I was...

My media/server uses the most bandwidth anyways, and as long as it has full speed, I'm happy I rarely use much bandwidth on this system - between work, web browsing, and watching youtube, I don't think I ever use over 100mbps on here - If I need to download a large file, I do it on the server...

Not sure I want to run the Dev build on my main system - the internet speeds jumped after I reset the config with that app, but it dropped again, getting 130/120 now on this system, and still 940/120 on others - I have the Dev build on a laptop and 3 VMs, and the speed on those is around the...

I think there are 2 scenarios for updating on computers that don't meet minimum requirements Scenario A is an unsupported CPU, with some kind of TPM, secure boot, and so forth - you get a warning that it might be more buggy, and that's on you, but it allows you to upgrade with no blocks, and...
