WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else

unified color scheme that can adjust automatically to match your desktop background and potentially other UI elements.
That's been around since Windows 8 IIRC. It's in Windows 10 already for sure:
I cycled through some backgrounds and sure enough it changed:

My laptop froze this morning. The fan was going nuts but it wouldn't respond to any input, either with USB connected keyboard or mouse or the trackpad or laptop keyboard. After cycling the power I looked at the event log and there were a bunch of errors about user mode drivers. Some of them mentioned something about smart card services.
Yay.

@topspin Oh wow it's... the same thing but without the different background colors on different tiles.
A true revolution of design.

@topspin You're probably going to hate me if I say I actually liked the original Windows 8 aesthetic.

I never had a Windows Phone phone with that UI, but I have a friend who did and he swore by it.
Sadly they forced it on the desktop in the same form, and we're still living through the consequences. :(

Looks optional to me. None of those are required features of Windows, and if you're having that problem you'll probably be sure to install it.

Therefore it is totally disingenious and insincere to describe it as optional.

@levicki you're assuming the issues apply to everyone using a particular tool. Most of those are probably weird edge cases that most people never encounter

We use neither Azure Active Directory or Windows built-in VPN. That'd be optional for us.

It's not just Azure AD, it is regular AD and hybrid setups that are affected with some of those issues such as credential guard bug that prevents domain join.
If you're using credential guard, you may be affected.
If you're using Hybrid AD, you may be affected.
If you're using Azure AD, you may be affected.
If you're using the built-in VPN, you may be affected.
If you aren't using any of the above, which likely applies to many environments, this update is not for you.
Hell, I close programs all the time and haven't noticed the symptoms described. So that'd be that second "may be affected" part.
What they're not saying in that article is that under specific circumstances, certain bugs may be triggered, and if those bugs are relevant to you, you should apply this update.
EDIT: Also, this bugfix will almost certainly be included in the next CU, so eventually everyone will get it whether they need it or not.

Been using Mouse Without Borders to switch between work craptop and home computer.
All good, except Win-Tennic
just logs off after some unspecified time, presumably because of lack of user input. Power settings are all "Never", lid close action is "Do nothing", it sits on the charger all the time, there haven't been any "updates" either. First complaint on Le Goog is dated 2015. Five years down it's v1909. Solutions? Well, all the classic ones: "sfc /scannow", restart the machine, use registry "GUI" to edit some arcane valuesNo, it doesn't.Well ok, whatever. It usually did that at the end of the day. Except now I was a bit busy reading WTDWTF and it fucked off and somehow corrupted the solution file open in VS
-
@levicki It sez last update was installed successfully on 17.03.2020. There's Windows Depender signatures every other day, but that's not every day nor today, and don't those install themselves without restart anyway?
Only a bunch of corrected WHEA errors in Event Viewer. Yeah, the craptop has issues, but if it did screw up, there should have been unexpected shutdown message.

I have to admit ( ) that Win-Ten-nic was not to blame here. is me for not reading the Event Log more carefully.
Also, something changed by and now reboots are preceded by bug checks (0x139 and 0x1E), so I'm also getting unexpected shutdown messages.
Now I'm going to rage at Dell for requiring a medical degree in operating tonsils through the patient's asshole to get to its single RAM slot and soldering everything else to the board, so when shit breaks, just toss it in the bin and get a new one, I guess.

I think you're supposed to blame this on Apple.
-
@loopback0 Ironically, when Apple still let you install RAM and drives (2011, possibly a bit later) it was very easy to access, while Dell laptops IME had the stupidest design. One stick of ram in the normal place, on the back behind a panel. The second stick of ram required taking the thing apart and removing the keyboard.

- No problems at 100% load, iGPU only.
- Err, I guess some ACPI fuckery could cause kernel data corruption... I'll try that later.
- There are none at the moment.
- That's the one thing that may actually require invasive proctology. Some months ago 8 GB stick was added. Kingstons used to be the least likely to go bad, but :who-nose:, maybe the soldered part went to shit.
- No problems. SanDisk is not likely to go bad either.

- Guess I'll have to do that. WHEA errors seem to have stopped after I disabled the wireless adapter. It complained about PCI Express Root port and that's one of PCIE devices I don't need. Are drivers always loaded in the same order and same area of physical memory? If so, some other stuff is now being loaded in the bad bits and is causing different sort of "train go boom". I'll enable it again, but... interesting to know, you know.
