I have sent that person a PM on Reboot and we'll see what they are experiencing.

I am reminded of a common troubleshooting step that we advised on 9x systems when I worked with an ISP. It is a bunch of steps and I'm not fully convinced it is all needed, nor that there isn't something easier that could be done to do the same thing. I will put it here just in case. 1. Release IP 2. Arp -d 3. Go into the adapter properties and uncheck TCP/IP 4. Reboot 5. re-enable/check TCP/IP This was for when a NIC (not WLAN) would always have the APIPA info even if a valid and functional DHCP server was present on the network. It was just one of those things that helped many people and many people had happen to them, but I never experienced personally.

Perhaps an English Windows 2000 and a Japanese Windows 95 will work out in a dual boot. I am currently sitting on using DOS on the computer... BUT with only the floppy drive working, I can't get any CD drive to work at the moment. USB supposedly will work but it does not work at BIOS level (no booting) and my next step is to see about getting it to work in DOS. If I can't get USB to work, then I will have to find a different board/computer to use. While I would prefer a newer system, currently the project is to use Japanese Windows 95 on a board with an ISA slot. X thread here where I try to post my updates: https://twitter.com/Tripredacus/status/1744808661153644573

One of my next projects is to build a computer to run Japanese programs and games that runs Windows 95 but I am unsure as to how to do it exactly. Would using a US installation with a Japanese LIP-equivalent work or would it be better to use an actually Japanese installation? Potential other considerations, since this is a computer to be used in the modern era, I will likely want to employ some mods to allow for the use of removable USB storage, although if that becomes too bothersome I have no problem with resorting to network shares.

It is probably common that spammers create multiple accounts all at the same time. We don't really have any reason to look at the registration queue like I've known others to do on other sites.

There is no direct update happening here. Using an intermediary version of Enterprise that doesn't block and in-place upgrade like it should. Using it to go from Pro to a later Enterprise version that doesn't support the upgrade. It may be possible to use the 2015 Enterprise version as the go-between from 7 to 11 Enterprise, but I'm pretty sure you can't do an in-place upgrade from Enterprise to Pro, so you wouldn't be able to use it for that. Vista, idk, someone would have to try it. I don't think that Vista is present in the upgradematrix.xml in the install.wim. Even if it actually starts the upgrade process, it may not even work. There is another XML that handles the migration actions that Setup performs, and it may not support Vista or may not work. It is expecting the host OS to be Windows 7. Someone could certainly try it, but I can't think of the amount of work and testing to make the appropriate Migration XML for Vista Business (or whichever) would be worthwhile.

I wondered how feasible it was to back this up. It seems that Steam updates every day.

At this point your installation is not a normal one, rather it is damaged since you deleted a file from the OS. My recommendation is to put back the file you deleted as your first step and then look at the original issue, presuming it returns. In case it matters: post the full model number of the Swift and of the NVMe. For Windows 8.1 and NVMe, the system should be set to UEFI. I read on some Swift 3 that they are default like this, but then read in other places that it can be changed to Legacy.

Wanted to report a few thing after having used it for a couple of days. 1. At first boot after login, the computer is INSANELY slow. Using Perfmon I found that this was caused by the Search Indexer. Turning that off for the Users folder (the only thing that was enabled besides Start Menu) solved that issue. 2. First launch of already installed programs such as Steam or Chrome were very slow as well. Going to some sites were slow the first time. I think this is because technically it is the first time those programs have been opened or those sites have been visited on the new OS. 3. All pre-existing hardware works fine and all drivers were accounted for except for video, which I had to reinstall. I was concerned for the soundcard, fully preparing on having to buy a new one and/or speaker setup. In the end the SB0090 works fine in Windows 10 and the 5.1 works properly as well. The software for the sound card or for the mouse did not need to be reinstalled. Also the drivers for the gaming controllers didn't need to be fiddled with but I suspect that they just have better support in Windows 10 as I make sure to only use Xbox 360 compatible USB controllers.

I had until the end of the year to put Windows 10 on my gaming computer to maintain Steam compatibility, but I didn't want to go about having to reinstall everything. So I had set out to determine how it would be possible to do an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 to a version of Windows 10. And the main issue was that the version of Windows 10 I wanted to use did not support an in-place upgrade from Windows 7. I ran tests for about 3 months with various different OS versions and even attempts to modify files and images and attempting to follow tutorials posted online. In the end I didn't need to do any fancy modifications. The key to this is one particularly bugged release of Windows 10 Enterprise. I don't have a license for this version but it is just installed temporarily. For the sake of reference, I wanted to post this unsupported upgrade path. I do not know if the bugged version of Enterprise is still available online. I just happened to have found it in my software archives. Again, this is for in-place upgrades without modifying the install.wim, and/or dealing with the upgradematrix.xml. 1. Starting from Windows 7 Pro SP1 OEM (like what you'd find on a Dell or HP) or System Builder Kit. SBK not tested but it should work the same. 2. Install KB2990214 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46434 3. Copy full install (not just sources folder) from Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB (X20-26562) to disk. 4. Run the setup.exe in the main folder (not sources) to perform in-place upgrade 5. Repeat #3 but with the target OS (in my case Windows Enterprise 1809 LTSC) to disk. 6. Run setup the same as #4. Now to be clear on things. the 2015 install does not ask for a product key, so it is ideal to use as a stop-gap in between Windows 7 and an OS that you want to go to that you do have a license for. The main issues I ran into during testing was that the test hardware (I don't use VMs) did not support the target OS, but I didn't figure this out until later. So you may run into problems upgrading from 2015 to a newer version.

Provide a step by step of what you did so we can understand where exactly you are experiencing the problem.

At what point exactly does the bugcheck occur?

Yes, we can manually create accounts, but someone (like you) would have to act as an intermediary with the person to get information to me. The only information I need is their email address and username that they'd like to use. If you can talk to this person and get that info, you can PM it to me and I can make the account.

There is a red arrow pointing to where the quotes mentioned are being used. Try to be more reasonable on the forum. We make everyone post in English and people from other countries may not be 100% accurate and clear when they post, so it is to be expected that sometimes things can get mixed up. You have the ability to figure out what a person is trying to say, there is no reason to try to catch people in a grammar trap.

You can't put physical markings on non-physical things.

The original post was a copypasta from another website. Clear that the leftover color formatting from that site was present. Perhaps some portion of the text was not from that site. However since MSFN is in EU, we have to be careful about content from other sites. So if you want to talk about a news story from another website, putting large portions of text from there onto here is not allowed. You can link to the story or put a paragraph or line into a forum quote.

It would be presumed that all apps with ads would also include trackers. If you want to play in that environment, those are the risks you have to be willing to take.

Find another site to complain about each other and what countries software comes from. MSFN is not the place to do it.

There was an issue with the spam service, you may remember a big thing that happened last month. Registration disabled until that is resolved.

This function is browser based, not on the OS. In Firefox (at least) I think that if you ever put No or Never after logging into something it will not let you go back to being able to save it in the future. You may have to look into your saved logins list in the browser and clear the negative option from the list.

The flood control change did exactly what we wanted it to. It wasn't going to stop people from making posts. The only way to prevent the new accounts from making those spam posts was to prevent all members from being able to make any posts. That is the reality of what features are available in the forum software. Having to deal with hundreds instead of thousands is a good trade off. The expectations and function of flood control has nothing to do with the usability of the forum from a regular person's viewpoint, it is solely to assist Moderators in dealing with the situation on the back end. In the future, do not OTSP about these types of things in tech threads. Make a thread in this section instead.

Flood control disabled.
