Who is us? You? Yes I know it isn't you, you copypasta an article. Don't do this. Put the entire thing in quotes if you post it here, otherwise it appears as if you wrote it.

No, Windows 11 is still just Windows 10 with a different UI at this point.

I will presume that any current version of CurseForge/Overwolf does not work on Win7, but Win7 versions still exist. And fortunately, Curse/Twitch went the good route of not forcing an upgrade to an unsupported version. So if you had CurseForge installed prior to whenever their Win10 update came about, you can still use it but throws a generic error and says to update to Win10. However, over the past two weeks, something on their or Microsoft's backend changed which caused the inability to download anything new from the launcher. It also caused the issue where if you repaired your installation, it would "uninstall" (removed the links) to any games you had on the dashboard and all instances. For example, all instances of Minecraft would be removed from the launcher but not from the computer. A repair install would attempt to redownload the MS launcher but fail with an error "Failed to download the Minecraft launcher due to a network error." This error is in their known issues page: https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000196615-known-issues#Minecraft-▾ With the "resolution" being: If, when you get this error in CurseForge, and also there is a log under System in Event Viewer for an Schannel Error 70, then the solution is to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in WinHTTP and on the Component Level as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392 After doing this, I no longer get the Schannel errors in Event Viewer and also am able to not only repair the Minecraft installation, but also install new packs. Tested up to whatever verion of 1.16 that Vault Hunters 3 uses.

That information is not public. I'm no longer direct on desktop, so I can't tell when the EoS date for that is. I wanted to make an update to my post above. It seems that System Builder has reached the end of its production. System Builder doesn't have an EoS, it just exists until it sells out. I have heard that disty is out of Win 10 Home and is running low on Pro, to the point where large orders can't be done. There is still a reluctance for Windows 11, worse than I've seen in any OS changeover.

Call it a case of misunderstanding. Despite Iron's about page showing that it was updated and a current date stamp in the settings, the version was not in fact updating. It seems that it doesn't update ever or perhaps it didn't because of some setting. I had expected Iron to update the same way Chrome does. Alas, my Iron was at v77 and after updating to v109 the issues I was experiencing have gone away... BUT Ebay still is slower on their newer view than the older view (some pages have it, some don't. I'm talking US Ebay, I have not seen the new mode on international Ebays) but not unusably slow as when on v77.

There is no fact on what exactly goes into creating oil, so it could be plankton but it could also be some other mechanism we are not aware of. All of the information I can find about the natural creation of oil uses terms like "theory" or "consensus" which indicates we have no actual proof of the true answer. They may be correct or maybe not, maybe plankton or dinosaurs or both or neither.

Welcome to the MSFN!

There is no incentive in recycling. In the US, recycling isn't done for the good of the environment, it is done for money. A company holds the rights in a municipality to manage the recycling services. In some cities this company doesn't even do the work, they pick up the recycle bins and truck that stuff off to the landfill.

Dave-H reply not that timely either. But if you have to bump an old topic, it is best to at least add something to it. I have no answer on how to put a BMP as the background since JPG seems to work just fine. The issue nowadays is not the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 or 10, it is that some hardware seems to be able to stretch the background fine to fit, and some do not. And forget about 4K displays. There doesn't seem to be a good way around getting one singular HTA at fullscreen to be able to reliably fit the background image on multiple different aspect ratios, resolutions and video controllers.

There seems to be some "new" change on websites that have been happening over the past couple of months. Either it is some back-end thing (the site is not noticeably changed) or a site has been updated. Iron is my primary browser and these sites are no longer working on Iron but do work fine on Chrome, meaning Chrome will be more important. I do not know what these changes are, if these sites are using a new form of code that isn't supported. Sites that have this issue are Mercari (search bar doesn't work) and Ebay (entire site is very slow).

These days, this same message seems to appear for any game that is launched through Steam that chains into the Uplay launcher.

The difference is licensing primarily. IoT products are in the Embedded (now IoT) Channel.

The requirement happens during the design phase, far before a particular product ends up in the consumer market. Most ODMs are not going to be building a PCB 100% in-house and so they tend to use packages that already exist on the market in one way or another. And those packages may or may not have writable firmware.

Sure but Windows isn't doing this out of the box. The real reason why Windows reverts or re-enables anything is because it is designed with those things to be on by default. And there are things in the task scheduler you can't see in Session 1 that work to re-enable these things.

Do not copypasta text from other sites and make it a thread. Put the link to where you stole this info from. MSFN is in EU so we have the EU Copyright Directive to deal with.

Firmware is just to say code on a chip, typically writable chip, on a PCB. Non-writable chips can have firmware (technically) but obviously it can't be changed. The point at which something needs it would be any sort of complex function that can't be handled with your typical electrical logic methods, gates, triggers and the like.

Updated It can get to a point where you don't end up getting to have the same username everywhere. It isn't the end of the world.

Any OS modification can be talked about but only if the instructions to create such modification are the primary method of doing this modification. Distribution of OS files or complete OS ISOs is not permitted, nor the promise of making them available to either the public or in private.

It is still to combat spammers, but I do not know the stats on the block.

Dupe topic. Other one is here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183446-windows-81-extended-kernel/

None of the remaining links on that thread go to any sort of download.

Forums that still do the delete inactive accounts thing are either running extremely old software or do not know why that SOP was created in the first place. The issues with large datasets in tables for forums were solved ages ago, so there is no issue with needing to purge accounts or things like threads becoming very large.

Basic network troubleshooting. Verify your current IP, gateway, DNS and subnet. Can you ping gateway? Can you resolve DNS? Know that Windows does not let you use multiple gateways. So if you have WLAN connected and it has a gateway, LAN won't have one and vice-versa. Make sure if you have DHCP on both interfaces that they are not trying to use the same IP range/scope. If you are trying to bridge the networks, you may want to use static IP on the LAN and have WLAN on dynamic.
