Yes, they seem to work together, I hope they work on Windows 2000 as well :thumbup

We already have @blackwingcat for that, and he does an amazing job! If it weren't for him, W2K would not be working on Intel Sandy or Ivy Bridge.

Now another app is working, latest NVDA ScreenReader and a lot of Python 3.x x86 apps! Probably @Win32 added the function GetActiveProcessorCount,

Anyone have a problem with 3rd party sidebar gadgets that are not re-loading after reboot since new kernel update? Everytime I reboot the computer I need to re-attach them to sidebar

Redirect the original ole32.dll file locally, perhaps it will help.

I tried installing Segoe UI Emoji font that was obtained from the October 2021 release of Windows 11 21H2 ISO (still look the same like Windows 10 emojis) into Windows Vista Extended Kernel, and I also don't forget to restart the machine after installing the emoji file.

And then, the emoji works, but the emoji is only displayed with colors on Firefox. The rest of the apps display black and white emojis, and some others (including the title bars and tooltips that are hovered from anything outside Firefox) don't work at all (just displaying two unicode blocks).

Segoe UI Emoji uses COLR/CPAL tables. Chrome does not seem to support it.

does anyone know if the drift bug is still present on systems running intel 12th gen+ cpus without E cores? winclient5270 reported no problems on an i7 12700kf, but what if the E cores play a role? wouldn't you need a new scheduler to fully support the cpu, unlike on an i3 13100f for example which has only p cores? it's just a theory
