The damn" enterprise installer", unlike the Chrome "enterprise installer" causes a fresh copy to be created on each new profile logged into the machine. This behaviour also causes it to run on startup by default, because the installer won't be able to know your preferences until the Teams stub loads and then (possibly) unloads.
Such bullshit...

(or its Microsoft equivalent) has... consequences. Funny consequences, for the rest of us anyway.

If you do, the system will panic and force you to forget.

@TimeBandit for fucks sake I didn't disable hardware TPM module just to keep getting updates!

Wait, did Microsoft lie about that again!?!

@Tsaukpaetra no, they didn't. I'm ranting for comedic effect. W11 is still listed as incompatible with my 2020, Zen 3-powered PC.

And now all of a sudden it shows results again.

Windows 11 installed just fine on my 2019 AMD Ryzen-7 home-built PC.
And that's the only good thing I can say about W11.

Win10 has always been consistently inconsistent.

You missed the part where I messed with BIOS settings to prevent this exact scenario.

I just have to not install the TPM unit on my motherboard. Laziness is advantageous once more!

So you had to install other parts, beyond the CPU, on the motherboard.

Are you sure this is laziness?

Yes, memory, m.2, wifi and GPU.

My grandmothers never had computers.
Edit; some version of this was my first one:
-
Status; apparently the kitchen kiosks decided "working hours" ended right as lunch began.
Smart!
Would have been way to convenient to reboot during the several hours literally just before now that comprised the "cafe is closed now" timeframe.

If you're interested, I know the name of a free, open source application that doesn't have problems like this. I may have mentioned it before

7zip?
-
@loopback0 Yes, but we're talking about launching applications. 7-zip is not very launch-y

Sure, and 7zip has none of the problems like @Zecc had launching applications.

Been getting the hang of PureBasic and calling the WinAPI. I feel like writing a usable taskbar replacement to suit my needs might not be out of the question any more.
The real question: how valuable is the search thingy?

Useless for search and takes up space, so below zero.

@MrL I meant more the âyou open the start menu and you can start typing to do searchâ which in many peoplesâ case just ends up as a âsearch Bing for the app I have installed but Windows is too dumb to findâ deal.

But that's Start Menu, not taskbar, no?

@MrL itâs all explorer.exe though, the two arenât exactly separable.

Are you sure? I have standard taskbar but custom start menu.

It's not too dumb to find it. It's too slow to find it before you get bored, because MS still haven't managed to understand the concept of a
locate
database that indexes things in the background (or overnight or whatever).
-
@dkf or, in my wifeâs case that is all it does. Unless by âgetting boredâ we include timescales of up to an hour.
-
@Arantor said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:

When it works - very.
The one in W10 works most of the time with the right things disabled, and the one in W11 works fine IME.

They're the same in Windows 10 (probably post-Cortana but definitely current) and 11.

@TimeBandit linked from there about the âGRUB vulnerabilityâ:
Microsoft is aware of a vulnerability in the GRand Unified Boot Loader (GRUB), commonly used by Linux. This vulnerability, known as âThereâs a Hole in the Bootâ, could allow for Secure Boot bypass.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to have administrative privileges or physical access on a system where Secure Boot is configured to trust the Microsoft Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Certificate Authority (CA). The attacker could install an affected GRUB and run arbitrary boot code on the target device. After successfully exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker could disable further code integrity checks thereby allowing arbitrary executables and drivers to be loaded onto the target device.
What?
So an attacker with administrative privileges can run arbitrary code? Isnât that something something other side of the airtight hatchway?
-
I used to think this temporary visual glitch happened after I abused my laptop for a while, but this is only the first awakening from hibernation since last reboot and I've only run a single instance of VS, so apparently it just happens... whenever.
Edit to clarify: this is an actual screenshot. I haven't censored anything.

I suspect that "listed as incompatible" and "is actually incompatible" may not be the same thing.

He doesn't know any better.

Oh my, my workplace gave me a new computer and I'm discovering Windows 11 now...
And already I open regedit for the second time, to undo a misfeature.- First was to get back the Windows Explorer menu, because I noticed right away that "Invert Selection" was back to being hidden behind a click (whose bright idea was that?)
- And now I fiddle something even more obscure to restore the Task Manager option from the taskbar right-click (whose even brighter idea was it to remove that by default and hide it behind a registry setting??)
-

Originally they had the even brighter idea of it not being an option at all - the only option was right clicking the Start button or the keyboard shortcut.

By the way, in Windows 10 and 11 alike, what's the first thing you notice when you check this box?
That the Settings app utterly ignores it, of course!
As do the Calculator, and, well, pretty much all Metro apps, really.
And, as my latest programming pet peeve, MAUI apps.

At the risk of channeling , I can't remember when I last used this feature. Probably Windows 9x.
