I'm going to add my 2 cents to this thread. I highly recommend to to anyone and everyone that unless you're having problems to stay out of Event Viewer. I have to wonder why anyone would look for trouble when there is none.

Do use SAB on your Canary Builds? If you do, did you open the Start Menu before rolling back? The reason I'm asking is because after the update my Start Menu is green instead of blue. The color setting for the Start and Taskbar are not staying selected.

This morning I had a need to access my Mini PC that I use for streaming my media content. To my surprise Windows 11 24H2 was downloaded and waiting for a restart. I didn't know that the BeeLink Mini was 24H2 compatible. The upgrade was successful on the first try. The only problem I had was...

You're a man after my own heart. I once used the excuse that I needed a new desktop because the CPU cooling fan had died on my desktop. I waited a couple of weeks after I had the new desktop up and running before I replaced the fan. I now run both desktops side by side. The new desktop is my...

I have tried to clone my old drives to larger drives using Macrium. Most of cloned drives wouldn't boot and I had to use Macrium to fix the boot partition. With Images the only problem I've had is with the time it takes to make the image and then restore it to the new drive.

Can you post a screenshot of Disk Management?

That's a possibility. :unsure:

I remember! The whole computer world was going to collapse.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of why MS couldn't have used the name Windows 9. I'm still not seeing it. To me , Windows 9 is just a name. Edit: I'm still not sure that the reason MS went with Windows 10 instead of Windows 9 was because the wanted to show that the new OS was going in...

Just trying to better understand. Why was the line (if ( name.startsWith("windows 9")) { ) added? What does it do if ran on newer versions of Windows?

I'm running a third party security program and didn't realize that option was still available on the taskbar.

If you used settings on the start menu than I agree it's a pain because of all the options you have to choose. I open the start menu and start typing security. This brings up the Windows Security option. A much easier and quicker way.

Do you get the OEM/BIOS screen or does the display stay blank?
