  1. Copilot in my Outlook

    Perhaps this link might be of some help. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/copilot-in-outlook-2016.37151/#post-608990
  2. Get ready for Windows 11 version 25H2

    The bestest test is to baseline test it up against the restest. Win ME on up! (Or down, depending on your approach.)
  3. Get ready for Windows 11 version 25H2

    Back when Win 95 was a thing I really wasn't all that impressed when Win 98 became a thing. For me, it didn't really strike me as a huge improvement. I didn't complain about it, I just didn't really think about it. The first OS license I ever owned was to Windows ME. Talk about a learning curve...
  4. Get ready for Windows 11 version 25H2

    Out of the blue and into the black. I wonder if this will be included. https://www.theverge.com/news/692648/microsoft-bsod-black-screen-of-death-color-change-official?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
  5. Antivirus protection during Windows initial setup and S mode

    My experience with McAfee has been that it sinks its hooks in so deep that it acts almost like a root kit. If you do a factory restore and McAfee is part of the software bundle you will have McAfee running actively on your PC and prompting you for updates. The only way to avoid it is to refrain...
  6. Need Help Resolving this Pop-Up

    For the most part one thing Microsoft has right is good AV software. If you want something with more oomf I recommend Kaspersky. McAffe is among the worst of the worse. You're better off running your OS without these third party AV apps and staying with what MS provides. This is especially true...
  7. Need Help Resolving this Pop-Up

    As a suggestion for future reference I have found Fire Fox to be among one of the more trustworthy browsers for blocking pop ups and disposing of malware. I realize Edge is made for MS OS but this is also half the reason why it is also consistently exploited. Start Page is also a very good...
  8. Known and Resolved issues for Windows 11 version 24H2

    To be fair, teachers are using AI to mark assignments. They can't be bothered to scrutinize every bit of work their students submit to them so they let the AI do the job. Hand writing is becoming an art form much like calligraphy. Most assignments where I live are paperless. Covid seemed to...
  9. Known and Resolved issues for Windows 11 version 24H2

    Recently, on a Level 1 Techs video, there was a commentary on a teacher who resigned because the students weren't really learning anything. They just submit regurgitated Chat GPT for their homework assignments. According to this teacher they can't read properly, they can barely write, and have...
  10. Your device is missing important security updates

    Perhaps I'm dating myself but Dell used to provide a method of factory resetting their laptops so that the user could restore it roughly in the same condition when it first purchased. This restoration would include all the Dell drivers and apps that came with it however these would usually need...
  11. Your device is missing important security updates

    Perhaps brother wants access to some of the third party apps and OP doesn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling them? :::shrugs::: Factory resets on pre-builds often involves a whole lot of tweaking afterward. (All that bundled software and such.) Myself, I would opt out for the...
  12. Antivirus protection during Windows initial setup and S mode

    Okay. I got you. Would it have the most recent security signatures from when it was installed? Short answer: YES. Your invasive problematic malware will even be active enough to update. SAFE? Hardly. You should be able to remove it safely with the right software. If you insist on keeping McAfee...
  13. Show us your PC/Setup

    I actually broke down and bought the Vetroo PSU (the one that matches the fans and the Vetroo cooler) but 1K Watt is really overkill for this build so it will likely go into another build at some point instead of the bubble gum aquarium.
  14. Show us your PC/Setup

    Bubble gum. Candy floss was optional.
  15. Show us your PC/Setup

    You're right. You need a better aquarium. Something like this:
