Thanks for that reply. I was surprised that such an important security setting could be reverted to the default without any warning. There seem to be a lot of changes for change's sake with each version upgrade and new and ever more obscure hiding places for management tools appear. Some...

Updating from Win11 23H2 to 24H2 causes re-enabling of Remote Access. On discovering this, I immediately disabled remote access. My default is to disable remote access.

Thanks Torus. I have read that Windows 10 and Windows 11 use the same kernel so this would confirm the information you have kindly presented to me.

I am running a Rufus assisted installation on incompatible hardware of Windows 11 23H2, upgraded from Windows 10. I have just done a check with Steve Gibson's "ShieldsUp!!" and the browser header is as follows:- Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 31 Content-Type...

Thank you Steve for that valuable information.

Thanks for your points of view and apologies for the shortcomings of my initial post. I am trying to install Win 11 23H2 over Win 10 22H2 but have been bashing my head against the barrier of compatibility. I am now using information in Neowin...

A year ago, I bought a reconditioned Dell desktop. It was powered by an Intel 7th generation processor. At the time it was compatible with Windows 11 22H2. Earlier this year, I discovered that this system would not update to 23H2, even though my hardware has TPM2.0 and other required...

I have a Windows 11 22H2 system which is not allowed by Microsoft to update to 23H2. Intel Seventh Genaration equipped systems were supplied until the end of 2020. This means that Microsoft has determined that systems just over three years old are now set for land fill disposal. How can...

Seventh Generation processors are now verboten as I have just discovered. My Windows 11 22H2 cannot upgrade to 23H2 so support ends next October. I am reverting to Windows 10 which lasts until October 2025. Why the heck did I not stick with W10? I never expected that Microsoft would be so rigid...

I have a Dell Vostro 3268 which is running Windows 11 on Seventh Generation hardware. I am running Windows 11 22H2. On attempting to update to 23H2, I have discovered that Microsoft has ruled that Windows 11 23H2 does not support Seventh Generation technology equipped systems. Microsoft never...

Shutting out Windows 10 users with incompatible older hardware could also make Linux very popular. It's much more secure to use a supported Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 or UEFI than having to limp on with out-of-support Windows 10. Microsoft seems to be losing its way. It's getting all corporate...
