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.

Name changed

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.

You can do it. I install the nVidia Control Panel in audit mode then run Sysprep and it is fine. But I do it with a .cmd file that runs on ComSpec, not Powershell. But it depends, some Appx authors do not make their Appx the way MS wants them to, and can't be used. I have run into one Appx that a client sent to me that did not install properly, but Windows gave different errors that indicated what they needed to do. It could be that the one you tried has some hard-coded things in it that mean it wouldn't work from Audit Mode. You can try using an XML with system and put FirstLogonCommands in oobeSystem phase to install the appx when a created user account logs in for the first time.

To build an image with a provisioned Appx. When in Audit Mode, you have to make sure that the OS never connects to the internet. That means does not open the Store or even install updates. Doing so can and will corrupt the "Administrator" profile on the system. In reality what happens is that when you are in Audit Mode, some of those actions write to portions of the Administrator profile, which Sysprep deletes and re-creates. This is why those particular things can cause the OS to become undeployable, particularly apps.

Flood control enabled for users in the Members group. Sponsors and Developers are not effected by this change. If you are a Sponsor or Developer and get a message from the forum saying you cannot post, send to me a PM and I will take a look. Also make sure to not report all posts that a spammer makes. One of their posts is fine. You may not even have to report any of the posts during this current situation as we are going to be checking more often.

It is something that our ancestors have nothing to relate to. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the 90s that didn't think that the internet would last this long.

I can no longer tell whether or not Windows 11 is popular. Before EOL for Windows 10 I could tell that Windows 11 was in the vast minority. That is always the case when a new OS comes out, but there seemed to be an even greater drop-off than in previous years. It is possible that the sales focus has shifted. I have taken exactly zero support calls on Windows 11 which is saying something considering how long it has been available. Then again, there also hasn't been any surge in the IOT side of things, which was a trend in past OS releases where a client will want to stay on the old OS that can't be sold. The same people that are buying IOT now are the same ones who just have the qualified devices that were getting it before.

It is done.

Merged. Do not create duplicate topics.

I'm not particularly interested in cloud gaming as it is, forgetting multiplayer already having issues with server latency that has a real effect on games, putting it into cloud doesn't actually help that. Of course, the companies who do make these services are not interested in this experience or preservation, only to make a buck. So for ported titles (aka things on PC or console already) there is no no big whoop about it. When it comes to exclusive things, that is where the problem lies. There are games that were on the Gaikai platform before Sony bought them that are lost forever. Some of them have physical client versions that are unusable. All online only or required titles have this same fate eventually, they will get lost to time or be unusable at some point.

The link posted above does not fully encapsulate the URL leaving off the locale part, and it seems like that site default to German (de) if the locale is not used.

That is the application level, not the OS level.

Webp being such a terrible idea, how about any methods to block it at the OS level, no matter what browser you are using? Since as I am reading, the WEBP vulnerability is not limited to Chrome or even Windows.

Retroarch has MAME cores.

Are you able to post on MSFN from this Puppy computer or are you using something else?
