    Speaking of that, the 2022-December Windows updates include some developer certificate revocations. They were being used to sign malicious drivers. If you have not updated yet, it is #time_to_update.

    > "In these attacks, the attacker had already gained administrative privileges on compromised systems prior to use of the drivers," Microsoft wrote, adding that its "investigation revealed that several developer accounts for the Microsoft Partner Center were engaged in submitting malicious drivers to obtain a Microsoft signature."

    > The IT giant stressed there had been no compromise of its own network and systems; this was a case of rogue developers submitting bad drivers, and waiting for Microsoft to wrongly OK them, and then use the code in the wild against victims, we're told.

    I have an older version of this, running #Win10 #LegacyOS.

    For what I use it for, it works well, but it _is_ limited.

    After almost two months of work, I found a GNU+Linux installer that would work on the new laptop. I'm currently replacing a recalcitrant and stubbornly anti-user #Win10 OS with #Devuan. Afterward, I'll figure out whether I'll need a #Wi-Fi dongle.

    First install of #Win10 #22H2 was problematic. Network was unusable for multiple days. 2nd install seems much better behaved on both laptops, but the big laptop I bought still has some severe (to me) issues that the solutions on various #MSFT forums cannot solve. And of course, no official fix ... for issues that date back at least to #Win7.

    #Win10 received multiple updates over the past two weeks. That stinks because you will be working on something and get a pop-up notification about impending shutdown / reboot. (It is usually five hours and nineteen minutes at first, but it means that you have to finish or terminate any work-in-progress, because Windows will not care when it kills all your processes.

    The #NYC buildings I worked in had conference rooms already wired, some with HDMI, some with DisplayPort. Since every previous place I have been used VGA, it was a learning experience.

    Basically, before every meeting, one should plug in all necessary cables, then reboot and test. Otherwise, it is more than 50% likely that someone in $CONFERENCE will send a panicked "Help, our meeting has no audio" / "Help, our meeting has no video" message.

    Windows always wants to send audio to a connected #HDMI device, so if said device does not support audio, the nonexistent audio device must be disabled in Windows audio settings.

    DP seems to be a little more prone to issues, though they are rarely the connector itself. I suppose #Win10 itself has different expectations and reactions.

    Today in headaches: a former IT person reported that the #Win10 Photos app crashes immediately.

    Bro, I’m not even sure we use that software. We do not have access to the Windows store, so I can remove it, but not reinstall it.

    Turned on the #Win10 laptop. Without even allowing me to use the damned things, Windows Update took 100% of disk and CPU ... so far, it has been about 50 minutes.

    I don't have any clarity about when my last day in #NYC will be. I'm tempted to send the #Win10 laptop home when I send the main ( #Kubuntu ) laptop home. Maybe I can get a basic, inexpensive Chromebook or a cheap #Win11 two-in-one to use for the rest of my time here.

    If I knew a specific date, I might decide to hold onto the Win10 machine ... or to get a full replacement computer.

    There are some other #PDF reader products for #Win10, but I expect them to be adware and to have additional (unwanted) programs in their installers.

    @lxo I'd suggest losing the "Vista" part. After #Win7, #Win8, #Win8.1, #Win10, people have forgotten how miserable #WinVista was and tagging that name onto their current version name doesn't convince people to abandon Microsoft land.

    I tried to tell Schestowitz this years ago, but he was still doing the "Vista 10" thing last I looked.

    Noticing that #Win10 is acting weird about captive portals recently. Windows will periodically launch your browser to Microsoft's connectivity checking site, even after you're connected. (And Outlook puts up a yellow warning: "you need to log into your_network_SSID with a web browser".)

    If the fans on my #Win10 laptop had longer blades, it could be a helicopter. It also does not meet the requirements for #Win11.

    Annoying pattern with #Win10 updates … going back to at least #WinXP days … download and install a few updates, reboot, and now you get a few more to download and install. Sometimes you have multiple reboots before it recognizes that you installed the desired update.

    It must be nice to know that no matter how sh*tty your product gets, your users will continue to use it.

    My "off the top of my head" guess is that this update required that the original user (the one that can elevate privileges to do administration)'s account be named "Owner", so it created a temporary profile under that name.

    Why do I say this? Because I remember an update for #Win10 Home that created a similar problem if your original login was not named "Owner". Certain updates (e.g., from #Win8 or #Win8.1 to Win10) could not even be performed until the account was renamed.

    (NOTE: Question is from 2020.)

    1. All my files were deleted after Windows 10 update.
      After an Windows update last night I discovered that all my files on my C: drive were gone. At first I could not even log in on my account. Which is odd beacuse I don't use a password on my user
