I tried with it on and off, and was not offered it. I downloaded the msu file linked in the first post and applied it without issue. I generally prefer to get things via WU, but I just wanted to move on.

The long and short of it is that when you sign up for a GMail account, you are not just signing up for a GMail account - you are signing up for a GOOGLE account. You don't sign up separately for GDrive, or what have you. It's all one big happy account.

And then they think, this is something I really don't want on MS servers, so I'll delete it. And it's gone from Documents, or Photos. It's not a simple backup. It's a weird sync thing that hijacks local directory meanings.

Part of the problem is that when MS says 'backup your files with OneDrive cloud storage', they don't really mean backup. They mean, 'assign the default locations of Documents, Desktop, Pictures to remote OneDrive cloud storage, and REMOVE them from your local drive'. You can subsequently...

I think you're in the wrong thread - this one's about 22621.2215.

My cousin had a house in Gloucester, MA (a short walk to a very nice beach!). The natives call it something in between Gloster and Glouster. Glauster? Not quite.

I do, too. It seems like a terminal window. I just figure it's some Windows housekeeping thing going off.

You need to reassign the special 'shell folders' to your local drive instead of OneDrive. I believe there is a tutorial here on how to do that with a registry setting. In my experience the OneDrive app settings option doesn't always work. MS really REALLY wants you to use OneDrive. Just like...

I have been dual-booting 2 separate instances of Windows for years. I simply have Win10 and Win11 on separate partitions, and a 3rd big partition for my 'stuff' that they both can access. I have even triple-booted a Win10, a Win11, and a Win11 Insider, but I don't do Insider any more. Never had...

If Windows 12 is a 'cloud based OS', that will be where I part company with Windows once and for all, after 30 years. I'm hanging on by a thread right now, as it is.

"New! It adds Task Manager to the context menu when you right-click the taskbar. This feature rolls out in the coming weeks." Why does it 'roll out in the coming weeks'? Why don't they just turn it on in the CU? This is not some change that reaches into the bowels of the OS, or is CPU or any...

Bypass Windows 11 TPM 2.0 and CPU System Requirements

Yes, it will. That's why this was invented: :-) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup] "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001 (I got it from the tutorials section here: "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU.reg")

You don't even need to burn a USB if you're doing an in-place upgrade. Just download the iso (MS lets you do that now, rather than building one through MCT), right-click on it, select mount, and run setup from there.

Backups are the key! I upgraded with the MS iso file, but went back to 22000 just to see if I would get it via WU. When I get tired of waiting, I'll just restore the backup. It actually worked well for me in the brief time that I've used it.
