Driver signing (EV certificate) fails before 9am.
I would be nice to be able to codesign my driver before 9am sometimes, being in Japan that presumably means before midnight GMT. If I try, I get an error "future date" from the Validation section in New Hardware Submission. Unless it is something I do wrong? I do use " /uselocaltime". This is not a new issue, never been able to. Wait until 9am and codesign of the very same binary works fine.
DPS service
Hi, a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } I’m wondering whether I can intentionally create a failure scenario that the Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) would be able to troubleshoot—perhaps something related to memory, power, USB, or audio. I’d like to verify whether DPS is actively detecting and troubleshooting these types of errors in Windows. Thank you so much in advance! AishaStrange File Structure
Trying to clean up a USB drive and ran into something strange. D:\>dir "New folder" Volume in drive D is ESD-USB Volume Serial Number is A862-A0DD Directory of D:\New folder 01/12/2026 05:22 AM <DIR> . 01/12/2026 05:22 AM <DIR> .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes 2 Dir(s) 26,539,491,328 bytes free But I can't delete "New Folder". Then: D:\>dir "New folder" /q /r Volume in drive D is ESD-USB Volume Serial Number is A862-A0DD Directory of D:\New folder 01/12/2026 05:22 AM <DIR> \Everyone . 01/12/2026 05:22 AM <DIR> \Everyone .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes 2 Dir(s) 26,539,491,328 bytes free Seems to be hidden folders.

We need a feature that makes us customize the cursor roles (below)! Because Linux has more cursor roles, we cannot customize them in Windows. Cursor Roles Suggested: No drop - arrow with a no sign overlay Column Resize - horizontal resize but for grid resizing Row Resize - vertical resize but for grid resizing Vertical text - I-beam rotated 90 degrees Grab - open hand Grabbing - closed hand Cell - bold plus sign Copy - arrow with a plus overlay Alias - arrow with an iron chain overlay Zoom In - magnifying glass with plus sign overlay Zoom Out - magnifying glass with minus sign overlay Tags/Keywords: pointer, cursor, mouse, customizable, custom
The New Activation Portal Is Partly Broken But It Is a MAJOR Inconvenience For Me & Others.
I Run Windows 7 Ultimate x64 And I need to Activate Windows, I am used to the new aka.ms/aoh replacing the phone line. But I Have Activated Windows XP & Vista Without Any Problems Multiple Times, I Tested It Too, Tried 7, Starter, Home, Pro, Ultimate, Even x32 & x64. Though, No matter what, everything BUT Windows 7 Works. This Is Clearly a Server Sided Issue And I've Had This problem for the past months maybe even about a year. (The Product Key I Am Using Is Not Public on The Internet So It's Not Blocked/Used Publicly By Everyone, it is the same product key that came with the CD) And I Can Say For Certain This is a Server Sided Issue. Please Help. And Thank You For Your Time.Follow up to Azure Host OS Article
When will there be a follow up to the Azure Host OS article? It would be great to learn more about how the NT kernel is being used inside Microsoft outside of standard Windows. This is the article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/azure-host-os-%E2%80%93-cloud-host/3709528Allow developers to create their own user space
It would be wonderful if Microsoft and the windows team documented how developers could create their own userspace. The NT Kernel was designed for this, and it would allow better extensibility of the overall OS. It also would be a way to partial opensource Windows. You could license the kernel at a low price, and let others build the user space. This would be in the vain of the original WSL, but it would allow any developer skilled enough to bring enhancements to the system.Unable to copy desktop files to external drive on Windows 10...
I am trying to get a new computer set up for a friend. I have done this many times for other people, but something is wrong with this one. Every time I try to copy the desktop files to an external drive (all of them are PDFs, with one image), nothing happens. I drag and drop them - nothing copies. There are no errors, either. I have tried two different externals - both formatted exFAT. There is literally no reason for this to be happening. If anyone know what to check, your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. Too bad that Microsoft isn't smart enough to create a way to move the files easily between computers WITHOUT needing a Microsoft account to do so. Apple had had them beat at this for many, many years now. I can literally fire up a new Mac, and transfer all of my files - INCLUDING applications - in less than 2 hours. Pretty sad...
