Windows 11 needs to stop auto syncing things to OneDrive
I installed Windows 11, version 23h2 last night when I went to bed. When i woke up it said I needed to finish windows set up I clicked continue.. next thing I know everything is being sync'ed to OneDrive. Which I hate. It shouldn't just do this. leave my settings alone! Then of course when I turn it off, then everything is removed from my desktop, pictures, etc. now I have to go backout to onedrive and move everything back and put it how I had it. Thsi is the second time I've had to do this. I have four monitors and lots of stuff. Microsoft stop doing this.
Trying to figure out how to remove/reverse a TPM bypass from years ago. Can’t remember what I used!
Is there a way to figure out what I used and then remove/reverse whichever TPM bypass from years ago to get Windows 11 onto my PC at launch? I can’t for the life of me remember which method I used. Turns out I do have TPM 2.0 and it just wasn’t enabled in the BIOS, and I want to get 24H2 via Windows Update but it isn’t showing up. Maybe there’s another reason but it isn’t one of the guards, I checked in my registry. Plus I’d like to prevent future issues with updates. Would using Windows Update to reinstall my current version (but keep files and settings) be helpful, or would the bypass still be in place? I saw one person say that 24H2 showed up after doing that, but I don’t know if they had used a bypass or not.
Inaccessible Boot Device After Windows Update
I'm currently stuck at this stage, where Windows Boot Manager is recognized by BIOS, but the system still crashes during boot, resulting in error code 0x00001 after restarting. My primary concern remains to get my system operational again without data loss.Start menu search not loading after KB5060842
Anyone seen issues with the start menu search going into an indefinite loop after KB5060842? We've had a few reports now on Dell 3520's though I assume it's not model specific. Uninstalling KB5060842 fixes the issue but it doesn't look like I can stop specific updates in WUFB.
Windows Hello For Business
We are currently migrating to Intune with Windows 11 with Entra ID only and a bit of SCCM for apps. When we try and configure Windows Hello for Business, it seems that our Windows 11 devices are picking up settings for Windows Hello from SCCM. Our SCCM is version 2403, and looking at the enabled features, we do have Windows Hello for Business enabled within SCCM. But Microsoft has deprecated this in SCCM in our version so we are unable to configure this within SCCM. Does anyone have any information on how we can tell SCCM to not configure this please and leave the settings up to Intune? Currently the settings from SCCM teem to override the Intune settings on our devices.How many obsolete computers after October
I came across this quote today, which put, quite visually, the number of computers that could end up as landfill if they couldn't run Windows 11. "“Roughly a fifth of devices will become e-waste due to incompatibility with the Windows 11 OS. This equates to 240 million PCs. If these were all folded laptops, stacked one on top of another, they would make a pile 600km taller than the moon.” Although I'm not sure if he means from the earth to the moon and then another 600km, or if he means the height of the moon plus 600km!What is the audio recorder for PC from both internal and external sources?
Hi folks, Trying to find a solid audio recorder for Windows PC that can grab both internal audio (like game sound, YouTube, or system audio) and external input (like a mic) at the same time. I've messed around with a few free tools, but most either don't support system audio or need weird virtual audio setups that are kind of a pain. Ideally, I want something that's not overkill—just clean, easy to use, and actually works in Windows 11. Exporting to MP3 or WAV would be nice, and if the voice recorder has features like noise reduction or scheduling, even better. . What is the best audio recorder for PC? Any recommendations? Free or paid—just looking for something that does this simply for a newbie. Thanks!Microsoft hardens Windows 11 against file junction attacks
Microsoft's security team has announced a new process mitigation policy to protect against file system redirection attacks. "RedirectionGuard, when enabled, helps Windows apps prevent malicious junction traversal redirections, which could potentially lead to privilege escalation by redirecting FS operations from less privileged locations to more privileged ones.
