Here's hoping MS shuts this down by the next build. It's just too easy.

What do you mean by blocked? That it's blocked is what enables it to "work" (i.e. not work, so you try a couple times and it makes you move on to a local account). I'm pretty sure that I used that one just a few months ago successfully.

I wonder if the "no@thankyou.com" trick would still work. That is, attempting to repeatedly use a well-known address which is flagged and therefore blocked. In that past, when doing that you're then presented an offline option.

For a smaller ISO, and probably a quicker one to make, make these two changes in the ConvertConfig.ini first: Cleanup =1 ResetBase =1

@mika Did you do what was suggested here? https://www.elevenforum.com/t/kb5054148-windows-11-insider-dev-build-26200-5510-24h2-march-24.34573/post-577988 Also, if you are using "Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd," you will need to de-activate it for the above to work. Your ISO may be...

Yup, that was it. I could tell it was going to work even before the reboot took place, since the messaging is a little different. Very interesting. I know disabling the "Skip" bat is key to being able to use a mounted ISO successfully, but didn't know it mattered to this. Clearly it does. For...

Hmmm, I knew about that, and have used it another system in another situation, but didn't think it mattered to WU. Tried it, rebooted, but it still went right back in with 0xc1900101. I'm going to try it again though, this time with Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update_v13.cmd disabled. This is...

Those with fond memories of the last time we got a full-build update, in October or so, might recall the need to make an ISO and upgrade that way, due to 0xc1900101. The same thing appears to be happening this time, and I think that was the only way past it. The perils of using a non-compliant...

Today is the first day for me that Outlook (Preview channel) tried the hard upsell, popping up a banner upon start to entice me (I don't mean the little toggle, which has been there for seemingly years). The help article revealed this, and it was on, so presumably turning it off will work for a...

It seems fine for what it is though oddly doesn't support logging in with business accounts, which of course the web version does. Not sure why. I was relieved to see that "Native XAML app" didn't mean spawning a blizzard of Webview2 processes, as many current MS apps do now.

That's pretty weird, and makes me think of Spinal Tap. I use plenty of 3rd-party system utils like the one you mention and have never seen anything over 100%, which would have certainly caught my attention. Maybe it doesn't apply to all systems somehow? Mine isn't exactly new by any stretch of...

Cool knowing that the CPU info has been wrong for the last quarter century, or however long we've had Task Manager. I guess. Who knows what they're even talking about.

Am I interpreting this correctly? MS will soon graduate Dev to the same (or similar) series as what Canary is now (via a full build update, not CU), calling it 25H2. Canary will soon also jump ahead to a new series.

While MS does say in the article that "improved Windows search experience" is rolling out to Snapdragon, it doesn't outright say that no one else will be getting it. It would be pretty strange if they have differences in areas like that based on platform. The entire Improved Windows Search...

0x8000ffff is a tough one. You'll find folk remedies around (disable 3rd-party AV, WU troubleshooter, resetting WU, etc), but if that sort of thing hasn't worked, what might get you on the right track is an in-place upgrade/repair (WU, Advanced, Options, Recovery, Fix problems using WU). What...
