Anyone else having issues with apps being slow to open? UAC is particularly slow compared to what it was before 24H2. I have two machines that recently updated to 24H2. I was able to do a repair install on my desktop machine and resolve the lagginess, but my Dell laptop is still having issues...

I'm not the MS fanboy I was back in the 90's. All this BS they're forcing on us is hard to take. Thankfully, I'm comfortable enough with Linux to kick MS to the curb if/when that time comes.

Thank you! I reapplied both removal for current user and all users and that seems to have done the trick.

Is there a new/different method for removing OneDrive - Personal from Explorer Navigation Pane? I've followed the steps to remove in Brink's original post and have also gone so far as to remove the reg hives, but after rebooting I'm back to TWO shortcuts to my OneDrive files.

Crowdstrike must use the same QA team as Microsoft! None.

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Dell laptop but my desktop updated just fine. Bleeping Computer had this article today - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-office-users-hit-by-wave-of-30088-27-update-errors/ Apparently, a widespread issue. I'm not sure why...

Don't forget to look at your back-up medium. I do an incremental back-up to a separate internal hard disk twice a day and those are pretty fast, but when I plug in the external 5400 rpm USB disk to do my weekly backup, it takes forever. My viewpoint is that having a good backup takes as long as...

I'd drop Windows in a heartbeat if they go subscription -- just like I did Quicken and 1Password.

I'm all for improvements, but how about "opt-in" rather than foisting these integrations with services that not everyone wants or uses and leaving them to figure out how to rid themselves of it after the fact and causing potential issues with the OS as a whole? How hard would it be to implement...

Should KB5099980 have enabled launching task manager from the task bar? I usually use Ctrl-Shift-Esc, but sometimes it's nice to have it available on the task bar.

This is how I take care of mine: Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\" -Include tw*.tmp -Recurse -Directory | Remove-Item You have to run with elevated privileges. That's just one line in a larger script that gets rid of most of the temp files created...

I tried downloading the update from the Windows Catalog because it isn't being presented to me in Windows Updates. The MSU package fails with a "this update is applicable to your computer" error, yet my PC is fully compatible.

I've noticed lately that both the start menu and search stop working, usually after I've RDP'd from my laptop to my desktop machine. Not sure if this is a known issue, but "Get-Process explorer | Stop-Process" seems to work (but not sure why you can't just "Stop-Process explorer", it throws a...

On the memory tab of task manager, does it show hardware reserved? That will likely explain why your system doesn't show that all memory is available for use.

After fighting with this off and on for the past 4+ hours this is looking more like a CDN issue than an issue with computer/OS. I used the Office uninstall/scrub utility and tried and until just now it was downloading so slowly it took a couple of hours to get to 2%.
