  1. Whoa! For the first time in my experience, WinGet upgrade... shows more packages with icons than without. Fabu!! edtittel.com/blog/winget-shows

  2. Not all "critical errors" in Relimon are dire. Here's a case in point: dllhost.exe crashes occur to protect File Explorer. Deets follow... edtittel.com/blog/understandin

  3. 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. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/07/bey

  4. Yahoo! I'm back in the high life again: Microsoft MVP award renewed one more time!

  5. 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... edtittel.com/blog/cloud-rebuil

  6. 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!

  7. 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. edtittel.com/blog/remote-conne

  8. Can't get the ThinkStation P3 Ultra enrolled in Insider Preview. The fix is absurdly easy: use a different MSA. edtittel.com/blog/p3-ultra-ins

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

  10. 6 items in today's Patch Tuesday batch: unified updates means "all together now!"

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

  12. Just in time for Patch Tuesday, I get the X12 enrolled into the Beta channel. Glad to finally catch up! edtittel.com/blog/x12-gets-new

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

  14. 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... edtittel.com/blog/despite-thro

  15. 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... edtittel.com/blog/readying-eva

  16. 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. edtittel.com/blog/building-x12

  17. When Secure Boot changes happen, remember this: Two reboots ARE better than one! Let me explain... edtittel.com/blog/two-reboots-

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

  19. After I fix the ThinkPad's Secure Boot-induced boot problem, I notice something strange. It's running production , not . That's a thing: deets follow... edtittel.com/blog/x12-runs-pro

  20. 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!

  21. 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... edtittel.com/blog/usb-c-ufd-re

  22. Every time I run upgrade I'm glad I can pin certain apps that otherwise seek unnecessary change. I'll explain... edtittel.com/blog/gnugb-proper

  23. 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... edtittel.com/blog/x12-boot-fix

  24. If you read its output carefully, you'll totally get why I think that Upgrade knows more than it says. Let me explain... edtittel.com/blog/winget-upgra

  25. Hey! It's true... MS just extended the expiration for #Windows10 ESU by one year (to 2027). You can see it in the screencap from my Win10VM. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

  26. MS backs off deprecation of V3/V4 printer drivers. See the last paragraph of my former Samsung printer farewell for those deets. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/so-long-sams

  27. Ay! Yi! Yi! In the wake of KB5077241 I now understand that I'm going to have to rejigger UEFI on Flo6 and RyzenOfc any time MS pushes a Secure Boot certificate or db/dbx modernization update. Sheesh! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

  28. OK, then: is splitting off from again. The former is moving up to 26300 builds, the latter staying in the 26200 range. Let's see what happens! blogs.windows.com/windows-insi

  29. Today, #Windows10 hits EOS. That's right, as of 10/14/2024, the OS reaches End of Support. It's been a long, wild and (mostly) enjoyable ride. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

  30. Neowin raises the interesting question: what happens to bugs in #Windows10 after EOS next Tuesday? It's concerned with items introduced on the "Final Patch Tuesday," but I think it could go further than that. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz neowin.net/editorials/windows-

  31. You, too, can run 25H2. All you need is to update or create a Insider instance. An enablement package hit June 27. Take a look! edtittel.com/blog/dev-channel-
