I'm in for another year of Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) fun and frolic. I reflect on the journey so far (9 years) and what lies ahead. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/mvp-status-renewed-thru-june-2027.html

After the BIOS updated, I had to reset SkuSiPolicy.p7b on the P3 Ultra. Garlin's update script to the rescue! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Whoa! For the first time in my experience, WinGet upgrade... shows more packages with icons than without. Fabu!! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-shows-more-icons.html

As someone who once chased a PhD in Anthropology, I already knew that context is key to understanding. Looks like AI wizards are coming to that same POV. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/07/beyond-grep-the-case-for-a-context-rich-ai-coding-harness/

Yahoo! I'm back in the high life again: Microsoft MVP award renewed one more time! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

After reading and experimenting, I understand the new "Cloud Rebuild" facility to be more of a remote "Reset this PC" thing than a remote "In-place repair install" thing. Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/cloud-rebuild-requires-registry-access.html

After I upgraded to Experimental (26300.8772) I went looking for "Cloud Recovery" upon booting into WinRE. Shows up in the troubleshooting menu from the on-PC recovery files, but NOT from a recovery UFD. Now I know! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Looking at the "Recent" entries for Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) in the Start menu, I said "Too many stale entries." Turns out cleaning up has its vexations. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/remote-connection-name-cache-cleanup.html

Can't get the ThinkStation P3 Ultra enrolled in Insider Preview. The fix is absurdly easy: use a different MSA. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/p3-ultra-insider-enrollment-falters.html

I'm wondering why MS sent me an email today about the #Windows10 ESU extension until 10/12/2027. Known about this since the day it was announced 6/25/2026. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

6 items in today's Patch Tuesday batch: unified updates means "all together now!" #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Unified updates means they consolidate with CUs by default, though you can force-install them sooner. NOW I get it... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Just in time for Patch Tuesday, I get the X12 enrolled into the Beta channel. Glad to finally catch up! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/x12-gets-new-insider-look.html

Just had to jump a "prove your age" hurdle to log into BlueSky. Why now? Interesting... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

I've been noticing an "old_Copilot..." file causing errors in Relimon lately. "Why not delete the darn thing?" I ask. Turns out there's no there there: deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/despite-throwing-error-old_mscopilot_proxy-exe-is-mia.html

Ever wondered why #WinGet updates don't always follow list order? Me, too! Here's my explanation... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-list-install-orders-seldom-match.html

Beyond boxing up and shipping off an eval PC, there's some added clean-up to do -- especially device and Store registrations. Here's a step-by-step... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/readying-evals-for-lenovo-return.html

To make doubly-darned sure I would get the X12 to boot from the USB-C UFD I bought for that purpose, I built the boot environment manually. Here are the steps I followed. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/building-x12-boot-media.html

When Secure Boot changes happen, remember this: Two reboots ARE better than one! Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/two-reboots-are-better-than-one.html

New NVidia Game Ready Driver 610.74 is out. So is NVidia App v11.0.8.299. Installing the latter just now. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

The write-ahead log for Capability Access Manager can develop a "storage leak." A fix is in, tho... See this #WindowsLatest item for deets: #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/07/06/microsoft-admits-a-windows-11-bug-is-eating-up-to-500gb-of-storage-verify-if-you-are-affected/

After I fix the ThinkPad's Secure Boot-induced boot problem, I notice something strange. It's running production #Windows11, not #BetaChannel. That's a thing: deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/x12-runs-production-win11-after-boot-repair.html

To get my boot media together for the X12 Hybrid boot repair, I had to split the .wim into 3 .swm files, use robocopy to build an ISO source, use oscdimg.exe to gen up that ISO, and Rufus to build the bootable media. Worked! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

My Dad always used to tell me: "Get the right tool for the job." For this job -- fixing the ThinkPad X12 Hybrid Tablet -- I HAD to have a USB-C UFD to boot into WinRE. Now I know... #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/usb-c-ufd-restores-x12-boot.html

Every time I run #WinGet upgrade I'm glad I can pin certain apps that otherwise seek unnecessary change. I'll explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/gnugb-propertie-window-explains-winget-pin.html

I'm sitting here in limbo, waiting to see if a change of media will let me boot my X12 Gen 1 detachable tablet. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/x12-boot-fix-on-hold.html

If you read its output carefully, you'll totally get why I think that #Winget Upgrade knows more than it says. Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-upgrade-knows-more-than-it-says.html
