  1. WU (Windows Update) is due for some much-needed overhaul. Let me tell you about upcoming Orchestrator and Arbiter changes... edtittel.com/blog/overhauling-

  2. Whoa: scareware is not rare. Just got caught in Facebook, and had to resort to Ctrl-Alt-Del > Task Manager, then kill Chrome completely to escape. Interesting!

  3. I hardly ever bother with cleaning up browser cache space. I have a good reason, too: deets follow... edtittel.com/blog/pc-manager-b

  4. OOB update KB5121767 hits unintended targets (including my SnapdragonX ASUS Zenbook). Copilot says "It's also a CU, DON'T uninstall." windowslatest.com/2026/07/23/w

  5. More adventures! First, I jump the Oh-My-Posh update hurdle. Second, I remove a couple of obsolete instances. Good fun... edtittel.com/blog/jumping-wing

  6. 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. edtittel.com/blog/mvp-status-r

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

  8. When the power hiccupped as my ThinkStation P3 Ultra was updating BIOS/UEFI I feared bricking that PC. Thank God, that didn't happen. Deets follow... edtittel.com/blog/dodging-a-bi

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

  10. 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

  11. 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

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

  13. 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

  14. 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!

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 6 items in today's Patch Tuesday batch: unified updates means "all together now!"

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

  20. 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

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

  22. 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

  23. 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

  24. 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

  25. 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

  26. 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-
