  1. Solved Debloated Windows 11 Home or Pro Installation

    Notepad++ is what I had intended to use when I was ready to tackle dacrone's XML file. Notepad++ is what I use to modify the yt-dlp commands for cut-and-paste into the current PowerShell 7 (x64) for processing. Then, I copy-and-paste a text list of song titles from regular MS Notepad into the...
  2. Solved Debloated Windows 11 Home or Pro Installation

    @dacrone - Thank you for that! I will try it. I do not know PowerShell worth beans - I am just a copy-and-paste guy for the most part, but I am sure if I search for "Owner" and change the name, I'll be okay if I don't mess with anything else in the script. I know so little about PowerShell that...
  3. Solved Debloated Windows 11 Home or Pro Installation

    I am building a new PC with new key components and peripherals, and less than 60% old components and peripherals from my soon-to-be retired system from 2017. This old system still competitively kicks derriere considering her age, but she’s going to be relegated to standby or possibly some kind...
  4. Solved XCopy Woes, or Not?

    Folks, thanks for the info. Sorry for the late response, but I'm building a new Cyberdyne Systems Skynet PC to replace my 9-year old primary PC, which was down for a couple days to cannibalize parts. I'm waiting on a secondary ATX 12-volt PSU-to-motherboard power cable. This new LGA-1851...
  5. Solved XCopy Woes, or Not?

    I've been using a WD Blue 500GB HDD as a working drive instead of an SSD to temporarily hold files and downloads until I either discard them or file them away somewhere else. This way I don't prematurely end the life of an SSD with the heavy write actions. I recently found a WD Black 1TB HDD...
  6. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    Update: NVIDIA Broadcast v2.0.0.23090415 was released January 31, 2025. I've been using it for over a week now without any of the old issues I was experiencing before, predominantly the annoying auto launching without being asked under the older v1.0.39. The new GUI appears to be better...
  7. Solved Admin Rights Required

    @antspants My issue came back under Windows 11 24H2. Your elevated CMD fix didn't work this time. I discovered that 24H2 doesn't like the name of the folder, "Installs" which as I recall was not problematic under 23H2. I renamed the folder to "Software" and it works perfectly fine without...
  8. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    And people tell me not to worry, because Cyberdyne's Skynet is not coming any time soon! Come on now. NPUs integrated into CPUs? Wasn't the basic chip of Skynet cyborgs a Neural Processing Unit (NPU)? I think we're rapidly approaching an Apocalyptic Future if mankind doesn't take a step back...
  9. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    Well, maybe NVIDIA isn't the culprit doing the auto launch. Maybe it's MS' new AI driven 24H2. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near even beginner level in that category. I noticed when Broadcast launches while Teams starts that it takes only a few seconds to launch. But, when I manually trigger...
  10. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    Alrighty, then. I don't know if there is research to back this up, but here are my observations from yesterday and today. I installed the new version of Broadcast for NVIDIA RTX 40 series under 24H2, the same URL posted on Saturday, October 26. The new version of Broadcast still wasn't...
  11. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    Speaking of the devil... I saw that NVIDIA released a new version of Broadcast that at least addresses the camera issue. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5553 [EDIT- the URL truncated after I posted. After NVIDIA's custhelp.com in the URL, add /app/answers/detail/a_id/5553...
  12. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    Well, NVIDIA just confirmed with me via chat (human, not bot). There is a known issue with the current version of Broadcast and 24H2. Not just randomly starting on it's own even when the option to start with Windows is turned off. There are also issues with the current version of Broadcast...
  13. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    @pf100 - I use NVIDIA Broadcast a lot for VTC sessions in MS Teams (personal), in Zoom, and Veterans Affairs' VVC (Veterans Video Conference). I am aware of the self-restart problem with Broadcast and know how to quickly fix the no sound issue. I mostly use Broadcast's Auto Frame feature, and...
  14. Solved NVIDIA Broadcast "Magically" Executes Without Being Asked To

    I've used the current stable version of NVIDIA Broadcast (v 1.4.0.29) without any issues for some time now. My recent upgrade (from 23H2 to 24H2) somehow changed that. It "magically" starts all by itself when the app's AUTO-LAUNCH settings "Launch when Windows starts" is toggled to the OFF...
