My dad would buy a brand new computer every two years! Complained it was "slow" so he would just go out and buy new! It took YEARS to finally convince him that "electrons don't slow down with AGE, your computer is slow because the REGISTRY is not being MAINTAINED". Of course, I could never "train an old dog" on how to MAINTAIN the registy. But I could teach him to REINSTALL WINDOWS every two years and be back to BRAND-NEW FAST without spending money on a new computer.

Many issues in Windows are caused by corrupted or missing registry entries. From the very first in the 1990s, I learnt to correct such things. Especially, the installer and uninstaller of that time were often badly programmed and caused problems on a regular base regarding the registry. My Windows XP partition was created from scratch in 2004. It has existed since then without reinstallation only because of my maintenance and corrections. And the registry is particularly affected by this. For 100% portable use of Thorium, I have also backed up its registry entries and would create them if Thorium were to be run on another Windows XP computer.

I looked at the network traffic with Wireshark and even if the padlock is not green and https is crossed out, the data is transmitted in encrypted form. I also tested with an unencrypted page (http) and the transmitted data is readable. I assume that the faulty certificate is then only decisive for the identity of the server and that this cannot be confirmed. Thorium or Supermium may be good, but it is nowhere near as fast as 360Chrome on my computer. And the memory consumption is also much higher.

glitch, double post, please remove.

Registry is there for a couple of main purposes. It includes tracking, logging for devs, surveying the legitimacy of software (trial timers, etc), simplifying police/forensic investigators.

Commercial logos, commercial websites in bio (in both cases) don't count?

We have no way of telling/knowing what portable loaders you used to achieve that, and we have no way of proving/disproving it works or doesn't work in your case, I run this browser with my personally written starter App on Vista, so I don't care about that entries. @AstroSkipper doesn't run fully portable version, there's no reason to accuse a higly respected member of MSFN, and simply a good man, of trolling!

This PreferenceMACs key is the strange one, extensions' data it holds are all binary, but it's always brought up when profile migrations are brought up. I don't know about registry in general either, I prefer a static set of programs for main Windows install so things don't get deleted constantly from registry. It would be interesting to have some reproducible way to "gunk it up" to make computer slow. There's a lot of snake oil out there for registry, "leaving it alone" works for me, I only mess with it if I know about some user program's setting I want to change or if I want to alter Windows behavior in some specific way. I definitely never went out of the way to block programs from writing their stuff there if that's how they were programmed. I ran NTRegOpt every once in a blue moon, but the impression I got was that in my case fragmentation was always low and not worth the bother. Windows itself (re)writes stuff there all the time, can't say if it really makes things slower with time.

Ok. Then I'll be a little clearer. When I write something technical or computer-related here, it's certainly not to tell any anecdotes or to troll. I'm happy to leave that to our specialists. Here is a little food for thought. If an application writes values to the registry, it is certainly not doing so to make itself important or to fool the user. Thorium is not a purely portable application. It does what other Chrome browsers do. And recently I had to unfortunately realise that these registry entries play a role. And BTW, they are not stored in the main folder as this version of Thorium has not been made portable. Just that simple. PS: Further information what a portable application is or not can be found in @VistaLover's post here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186133-thorium/?do=findComment&comment=1267361

All I get from e10s on Serpent are bugs, random extensions not working, can't even use Actual Window Manager with the browser on XP, just makes basilisk.exe stuck with full CPU core utilization.

tx for the clarification, jfx

Yes, Windows 10 2015 version already uses a 16 MB partition.

In AMIBCP you can edit Setup Configuration but tool not open your bios for editing. You need manually edit body extracted AMITSE Setup data: AMIBCP error but manually edit i HEX editor My PC AMI BIOS OK in AMIBCP:

is it 7/8/8,1?

@reboot12 I cant have the menu in Bios for CSM on the board ASRock N100DC-ITX, for to switch between enabled and disabled. But the Asrock N100M has this menu. And I dont know, if it is easy to restore this menu also Dietmar

I do not know what you mean? UEFI VARIABLES are in three places because one for Optimized Defaults, two for FailSafe Defaults and third for current settings?

Where is the nearest brick wall? I'd like to argue with the brick wall instead.

for NM27, upstream's(i.e. AF) changes are already filtered, many of them doesn't land to NM27's master branch.

I'm using Windows 11 LTSC 24H2 build 26100.712. This is a retail update through Windows Update. My PC is not enrolled in the dev channel or Insider Preview. On older Windows 11 LTSC 24H2 builds (26100.1 & 26100.560) StartAllBack worked fine with the widgets button on the enhanced classic taskbar but now it doesn't work unless I disable the classic taskbar. When clicking on the widgets button now, nothing happens even though the weather information is still updating in the taskbar icon for the widgets button. Is this a known issue? I've tried StartAllBack 3.7.8 & the latest 3.7.10 and they have the same issue.

JFX, Thanks, I see now.

Please remember to create a separate branch for your NM27 changes (Arctic-Fox commits?) just in case you add more UniquePtr references to the codebase. I should add the beauty of creating a fork is that you don't need to take all the changes the upstream developers made to their project. In my case, I'm in the process of adding code from Mozilla bug 258080 to my Gecko 1.8.0 fork.

navy seal copypasta And yet, it magically reappears. Not sure why facts and reality misalign with your 38 years of DOS registry experience. And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.

Well, that really is news. BTW, did I mention that I have over 38 years of DOS and over 32 years of Windows experience? The registry is so to speak my home. And where do you live?
