Why is the memory manager in Windows version 1703 faster than the current Windows versions?
I tested the speed of programs in Windows version 1703 compared to the current versions, I made sure no anti virus or other background processes where interfering. Geekbench scores 13% higher in multi core tests compared to the latest Windows. When testing pure CPU performance there is no difference but memory intensive programs suffer about 10..15% in the latest Windows compared to 1703. Test were run on an 8th gen Intel i7 with spectre and meltdown mitigations disabled. Does anyone know what changed in the Windows memory manager since version 1703 and is it possible to undo these changes?
Extracting data from complicated table....
Hey all, Below is a table I have created for tracking info for a special-needs child, the staff member caring for them, the shift, the behaviour and the score (0-5). The Staff cell for each day/shift has a drop down box with a list of staff member names. The cell to the right of the staff name would have a value from 0-5 with 0 showing no behaviours up to 5, which would indicate the behaviour was 100% during the shift. What I'm trying to extract is information such as... 1) For a given behaviour, what shift sees the best and worst - trying to measure if the child has more issues in the morning for instance, verses the afternoon or night. 2) When it comes to the staff member working the shift, who is seeing better or worst behaviours - trying to measure whether the child may have an issue with or be reacting to a staff member more than another. This could come down to staff competency or personality clash. 3) It would be great if I could work out the above by day of the week - as the child is able to select what they would like to do, this could indicate weekly cycles or potential patterns in the childs behaviour as well. While this one starts on March 16th Monday, I would be creating future tables starting at the first day of the month. Possibly a separate Excel file for each month, so the files remain manageable. I'm normally ok with working out the info i need and creating formulas etc... but this one has me a bit stumped. I had started to literally create a 'Reference Data' tab where I was cherry-picking specific cell references from the below table to create a another table, duplicating information but in a different table layout... it is getting exhausting this way and I'm still no closer to being able to work the data. Hoping someone has some relatively simple fixes using XLookup or something like that. The information is being used to help with funding and activities, so it's quite important I can get this to work. If it means redesigning the table...I'll have to do that but this is the format my partner was trying to use for ease of reporting the shift/staff/behaviour/score details. RegardsI cannot log in to my work account using SMS authentication
Hi everyone! I am requesting assistance with the following issue. I receive the message: Sorry, we're having trouble verifying your account. Please try again. Previously, SMS authentication worked, but now I am getting the error mentioned above.

Maybe blocked my mobile number. Thank you in advance for your help!
Hackers keep getting prompting me for a code on authenticator
Hello, I'm noticing that I get a random prompt for a code on the Authenticator app whose location appears to be in the Netherlands. I'm under the impression that these hackers just try logging into numerous accounts hoping that their victims will unknowingly push on a confirmation number and let them in. Is there a way to help prevent this? I would imagine that preventing logins based on unusal locations would help stop it but would like to hear your take. Thanks!surface laptop and go

Locked out of Microsoft account – no access to Authenticator app or recovery options
Hello, I’m currently locked out of my Microsoft account and I’m unable to sign in because it’s asking for verification through the Microsoft Authenticator app, which I no longer have access to. I no longer have the phone that had the Authenticator installed, and I’m not signed in on any other trusted devices. When I try to recover the account through the standard recovery form, I either get denied or it redirects me back to the same verification method that I can’t complete. This account is important to me because it is linked to my email, files, and other Microsoft services. I can provide any information needed to verify ownership, such as previous passwords, billing details, or account activity. I would really appreciate guidance on: How I can recover my account without access to the Authenticator app Whether there is a way to reset or remove two-factor authentication in this situation Any additional steps I can take to prove my identity and regain access Thank you in advance for any help or direction you can provide.Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp4
