Hi,
Yeah that and ms screwing with either mother board bios or ssd firmware which it's unclear what ms is f'ing with at this point.

Exactly. That's part of what I was talking about with the servicing statement.

Hi,
People with oem's are just in a bad place
Hell I can't do a lot in my locked bios and disabling secure boot or tpm the entire security section is locked except adding password big whoop lol

Well at least acer is :cool:

They didn't say so but I added a bios password anyway and boom all settings are unlocked and tpm is doa :pimp:

Secure boot wise we'll see between now and April what the update translates to doing exactly before killing it atm.

When i install Windows i slipstream last cumulative update, but today (it's win10 yes) i see two things :

09/01/2024 Cumulative update .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 & 4.8.1 for Windows 10 22H2 x64 :
KB5033918 64,7 MB - higher in catalog
KB5034275 134,9 MB - lower in catalog (auto update installed)

So, which of the two should i slipstream ? WAU installed the 134mb 5034275 (on my deskmini) !.. but i habitually only find 65mb of this .net updates.

I just looked into this and can't tell which one is the most applicable. It seems like a good idea to recommend integrating both as there is a chance that one will have data the other does not.

Easy way, but if ever i choosed to slipstream in march instead, so there certainly would be only 65mb versions available, and i'd never knew there was others different/bigger updates, crappy Catalog.

Has anyone tried this trick? What bloatware does it omit?

That looks interesting. I can give that a try and see if it works..

Part of me says that Microsoft will change it later because it went overly viral?

Not if there is a good practical or legal reason for it to exist.

EDIT1:
BTW testing this now..

Testing complete on a first try for a custom ISO, didn't work. I'm going to try a bog-standard ISO next..

EDIT2: Nope, didn't work, all the junk is still present. TheoJoe has either failed to disclose the exact method for invoking such an effect, or he's full of crap. My vote is the latter, but I'm keeping an open mind.

Microsoft in a new Update changelog:
- This update addresses an issue that affects Trusted Platform Modules. On certain devices, they did not initialize correctly. Because of this, TPM-based scenarios stopped working.

Me:
Oh, great, they probably also along the way fixed the bug in the Defender that has been there since March 2023 when the UI bugs out and pretends the TPM module is off even though it's working and tpm.msc reports that all is fine.

Result:

Thanks Microsoft. Someday you will fix this. Someday.

Dismiss lol

It's hilarious. Dismissing it does actually nothing (the button is broken) and if I reload the Defender (just close and open the window again, nothing drastic) it suddenly comes to its senses and works properly.

Then I can open this in, like, an hour, and it will be borked again. It doesn't affect anything functionally actually, but the fact that it will be soon a year since they messed this up and it persisted through the 23H2 update is funny to me.

Does anyone have any idea when will Microsoft launch the Amazon app store in more regions?
My country is unsupported at the moment.

I just use their website in a browser...
Why need an app for that...

I meant the Amazon app store. Not the website.

You missed the point. They're saying to use the Amazon website, in a web browser. DON'T use the Amazon App store.

ThrashZone · Jan 31, 2024

Hi,
Lots of regions have different privacy policies
If a country can't get a app maybe ask your gov officials why there is no amazon/... app support there and or you could ask amazon via chat and that might cut through some gov red tape but doubt a normal support agent can say.

He probably meant this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/amazonapp

Discover the growing selection of apps and games available on the Amazon Appstore
The Amazon Appstore is an app store for Android devices, all Amazon Fire tablets, and Windows 11 devices. The Amazon Appstore is also the only app store that gives access to Amazon Coins. Amazon Coins let you save money on eligible in-app and in-game purchases. Amazon Coins are currently supported in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Spain, and Australia.

ThrashZone · Jan 31, 2024

That's what I addressed amazon app or lack of.

Not at all sure what that has to do with win-11 though.

theFOoL · Feb 1, 2024

Any tried Rectify11? So Good... "Back up before Applying"
*Oh for whatever reason (Yes I watched a Video before installing but) He had to Disable Defender or whatever AV you have BC of the Modified Files it Does but it's totally OK

I Don't know How Build updates will Effect
FYI I use also Chris Titus CMD for Good Things in Powershell [iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex]

I've turned off TPM and never looked back

Rufus has a simple tick box to remove that requirement when making a USB stick with that program.

ThrashZone · Feb 4, 2024

Hi,
Tried 0&0 shutup lol that is pure crapware there I'll stick with reg files hehe :laugh:

Got win-10 upgraded to 11 on x99 and efi partitions the way I like them and of course RE working like the other system are :cool:

Hi,
I use an older version of macrium reflect free
You can create the winpe on any of them though
Nice to have nvme drivers already so it's on it.
