If you are not sure of the status of your IPv6, or just want to verify if disabled or not, see this: Test your IPv6. (test-ipv6.com)

Don´t see it in the TPU news.

Microsoft isn't a quality source for their own products? I honestly can't say why news outlets are sleeping but they really should not be.

A lot of isps are ipv4 only. This means you are safe... at least until your ISP turns on ipv6.

That day is coming, so patch or get infected people. RTB told you first.

My ISP fully supports IPV6...

I didn´t watch the video but I didn´t read/hear about any windows networking security flaw on the news online or on TV...

It´s not that serious then probably.

You may want to look Up Dave Plummer and see who he is.

I know 1 rig that needs a patch the other an ESA update...

Then you have fully turned it off I am guessing?

If you have no other option, that will work.

I remember back in the XP days, watched a friend install XP which had a ISP modem directly hooked up to it, and within a few seconds of booting, it was owned,

That was super annoying. It was usually owned before windows was done installing lol.

Would do again..

Get it.. :fear:

My w11 system is already fully updated.

Fully supporting is not the same thing as using. My motherboard supports 6 SATA drives, I'm only using 3.

The fact your ISP supports IPv6 simply means (or implies, anyway) they are prepared and ready for the day IPv6 becomes necessary. That's a good thing - for now. So is the fact your report shows "No IPv6 address detected" .

I assume you also got a score of 0/10. That is also good - for now.

I would fully disable IPv6 only if you have no other choice. Adoption will never occur if consumers aren't prepared.

Like what other choice?

You make it sound like it is difficult to disable and perhaps even more difficult to enable again. This is the "fear and panic" sense I keep getting when it just is not necessary. People are not going to wake one morning and find out IPv6 was enabled, without advanced notice, overnight.

It is easy to disable and enable. No advanced training required. How to disable TCP/IPv6 (IPv6) on Windows 11 | Windows Central

Can we just take the video for what it is, patch your os or disable ipv6 for now, or an esa update for users of W8.1, 7, Vista...

David Plummer being a Retired MS Dev explains what's going on. We don't need an excessive over explanation of ipv6 theory of operation, which is not the scope of this matter.

Perhaps 'has fully implemented' would be more correct.

Yes, 0/10.

There is a patch bill. We don't need to panic and disable entire tcpip stacks. The "no other choice" was intended for old Windows users who literally have no other choice but upgrade or that.

No, rollout is arguably being hampered by holdouts though and encouraging them serves nobody. It's a chicken and the egg problem.

I don't really desire to discuss this further as its not really the topic.
