After months of inactivity, I've finally tried running new versions of Microsoft 365 on Windows 8.1. I managed to install v2507 (the latest beta) on Windows 8.1. This is the 30th post-EOL version that can run on Windows 8.1 without an Extended Kernel (EOL: 2301, no ESU program). Windows 8.1 definitely benefits from newer APIs compared to Windows 7.

One variable from your unique fingerprint changed, viola - you're blocked. -
Often you need to turn off javascript after the page is loaded, or it won't load right without it. I still use Opera 12 (very old) which allows this without an extension.

Try Enable right click bookmarklet javascript:(function(d){var a=d.document,h=function(){},c=a.body||a.getElementsByTagName("body")[0],f=a.documentElement||a.getElementsByTagName("html")[0],k=[c,f,a],l=["webkit","khtml","moz","ms",""],g=["contextmenu","selectstart","select","mousedown","mouseup"],b=d.Selection,e=b&&b.prototype;e&&(e.removeAllRanges=h,b=a.selection)&&(b.clear=h);for(e=k.length;e--;)if(f=k[e]){for(b=g.length;b--;)f["on"+g[b]]=null;if(a=f.style)for(a.cursor="",a.webkitTouchCallout="initial",b=l.length;b--;)a[((c=l[b])?"-"+c+"-":c)+"user-select"]="initial"}(c=d.jQuery||d.Zepto)&&c(d).off(g)})(this); source: https://gist.github.com/duzun/d66c775a39a5be9fb519

since @rn10950 is doing his job, I don't think I need to pick this up again. -

Websites can be weird at times, idk why. I got banned on Venmo just by registering an account. And I got banned on Whatsapp by opening the app on my phone after I took the sim card out. -

Doesn't suit me since youtube was so kind to permanently block my account when I moved to Canada from Denmark. -

Great idea! Greatness is in simplicity. -
Update: the plugin "RightToClick 2.9.6" is the one that was blocking New Moon using Cloudflare. I don't use it often so disabled it. Can get by just by turning off Javascript if a page is screwing with me.

I search youtube on Google site:youtube.com. Search on the site itself brings up very approximate results that repeat. Too bad num=X argument just stopped working on Google. Maybe they read MSFN. -
@jumper You are right, it's even lower than I remembered. On the other hand the article is stating too: 'Although the user interface is limited to 24 MB, the theoretical maximum size of the cache is actually 2GB.' However Q253912 stated: 'Vcache is limited internally to a maximum cache size of 800 MB.'

How did you disable Defender ? I tried editing the .ini but it still runs. I'm trying it on Windows 11 and no program can disable it. I was thinking about trying to delete it altogether but I don't know if that would give problems in other areas.

@Dietmar I spent a bigger half day today testing XP32 with iGPU and I have good news. XP runs best with iGPU (Haswell) on vbemp.sys (PNP) 2015 driver in co-op with my UefiSeven (u7nwbm.efi + UefiSeven.ini with set native resolution of monitor) and Longhorn 5472 bootmgr+BCD+winload.exe loader - iGPU need be set as Primary Display in bios XP can be run in the native resolution of the monitor - it depends on the monitor connected and the cable used (probably also on the EDID), the aurora boot screen is badly displayed when the resolution is native but the XP desktop works fine you can change the available resolutions - if the resolution is lower than the native one, the desktop is displayed from the top right corner without cleaning the screen - the previous content remains on the screen original XP vga.sys driver works badly with UefiSeven, there are some resolutions to choose from display settings but trying to change it restarts XP I boot XP in this way: in bios CSM Disabled (pure UEFI) > PC boot UEFI Shell from FAT32 100MB from EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi > startup.nsh starts UefiSeven and CSMWrap 1.2.1 (in UefiSeven.ini file native resolution monitor is set) NOTE: During installation of the vbemp driver, the system reboots but after the reboot it already starts on the vbemp driver at 640x480 and you can change the resolution to another e.g. native (if UefiSeven was previously running at this resolution) My monitor native resolution is 1360x768 but I test also other monitors native 1920x1080 and native 2560x1440 - see screenshots at bottom. UefiSeven.ini ; UefiSeven configuration file ; 0 = false, 1 = true [config] skiperrors=0 ; skip warnings and prompts force_fakevesa=0 ; overwrite Int10h handler with fakevesa even when the native handler is present verbose=1 ; enable verbose mode logfile=0 ; log to UefiSeven.log file resheight=1360 ; preferred height reswidth=768 ; preferred width EFI\Boot\startup.nsh @echo -off if exist fs0:\121.efi then set base "fs0:" endif if exist fs1:\121.efi then set base "fs1:" endif if exist fs2:\121.efi then set base "fs2:" endif if exist fs3:\121.efi then set base "fs3:" endif if exist fs4:\121.efi then set base "fs4:" endif if exist fs5:\121.efi then set base "fs5:" endif if exist fs6:\121.efi then set base "fs6:" endif if exist fs7:\121.efi then set base "fs7:" endif if exist fs8:\121.efi then set base "fs8:" endif if exist fs9:\121.efi then set base "fs9:" endif if exist fsa:\121.efi then set base "fsa:" endif if exist fsb:\121.efi then set base "fsb:" endif %base% u7nwbm.efi 121.efi If we run the XP without UefiSeven then OS boot in 1024x768 and there are only 3 resolutions available (no native):
