These updates only take a long time if you sit and watch them. Yesterday's update was released early for some reason, so the first notification I had of this was when I got a pop-up on my laptop saying it was ready to reboot. All the processing getting ready for the reboot takes place in the...

If you are using the standard, default explorer display you have to click on the "sort" keyword to achieve the same thing.

This TPM message in the log is just for information. I have 4 Windows 11 PCs at home and all 4 are showing this message repeatedly in the event log, and have been doing for some time now, yet I'm not experiencing any problems with the TPM. If your logon is failing due to a TPM error, it surely...

Powerline adapters are available with different speeds. I use a pair to connect an upstairs TV to the net because wifi reception there is poor. The adapter is rated at 100 mbps max and I get around 80, which is more than enough for the needs of the TV.

The message you have says 24H2 has already been installed and the restart is pending so that it can be completed.

Application updates can cause these reconfigurations. For example, Adobe Acrobat, MS Office click-to-run all generate these messages.

Deleting the licences directory fixed the problem for me and I no longer see Office 2021 listed. When I restarted Outlook, I was merely asked to accept the licence key and that was that.

I have a similar problem. I bought Office 2021 Professional Plus a couple of years ago via one of those cheap offers. A couple of months ago, my duaghter and son-in-law took out a MS 365 Office subscription, but as they only needed a maximum of 4 licences, they kindly gifted me one. I carefully...

I've seen a couple of these items and have reported them so we'll see what answer is forthcoming. I recently reported an item offering a 2 Tb thumb drive with Sandisk logos for £7 with free postage. My report was rejected with Ebay saying it did not break their listing practices! I suspect...

Yes I've seen this a coupl;e of times recently. Searched update history, reliability monitor etc, and could not find out what changed.

Just ran it on my 2894 and only 61 drivers were backed up.

If your system has been activated via a digital licence, then what's in this registry entry is just the generic Windows key.

Gone from my systems too. Was surprised that MS introduced this feature, and made it the default, as no doubt many people, me included, were unaware of this change and didn't understand why the time display had suddenly changed. The default should have been the status quo.

To check whether your licence is OEM or retail, open an elevated command prompt and enter slmgr /dli .

As the digital licence here is from a retail purchase, then fully replacing the hardware is allowed. Would not be the case with an OEM licence, as that is tied to the motherboard it was first installed on.
