Could my new Windows 11 Enterprise desktop have CrowdStrike issues?
I received a new desktop computer this March. For the last several months, I have been experiencing at least weekly BSOD issues. And other problems as well. I cannot use SQL Server Management Studio 2019 or 2022, without getting errors: I have clicked the Copy button many times, only to have the issue come back again and again. I've clicked the Don't Copy button, which just results in SSMS closing. Azure Data Studio has similar problems. The BSOD problems are caused by several different drives failing, such as pcw.sys, ntfs.sys, FLTMGR.sys. I can be in any application at all, like Visual Studio, Word, VS Code, Excel, MS Edge, etc., when suddenly that app will freeze, then close. But the one thing that my new PC doesn't do is never allow me to log in, such as is suggested by this link https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/blog/falcon-update-for-windows-hosts-technical-details/ So, I'm wondering, with all the numerous and seemingly unrelated issues that my machine has been experiencing over the last several months, could it be experiencing a CrowdStrike issue from July?Blazor has turned out to be a massive disappointment, will it ever get Windows Authentication?
Blazor is a technology I've been hearing about for a couple of years. It sounds like it would be great, especially for not having to write any JavaScript code, unless it is absolutely necessary. I maintain a very old classic ASP.NET WebForms application which has a lot of issues that greatly add technical debt. I have finally convinced my management to let me rewrite this application, and it was my intention to use Blazor in .NET 8. I started a few weeks back. The number one thing is this app MUST use Windows Authentication as it is an Intranet app, working within our corporate firewall. No exceptions!!! I thought at one point that I had found a solution, but then I discovered that when creating the project and selecting Windows Authentication, Visual Studio was changing it from .NET 8 to .NET 6. That took me more than a week to discover that had happened. I have tried, multiple ways of getting Windows Authentication with IIS to work with a Blazor Server App and .NET 8. However, today I realized that is a broken dream. That I am wasting my time and need to give it up. Perhaps someday Microsoft will get around to bringing that back to a current version of .NET, but I need a solution today, not in November when .NET 9 comes out and hope that it brings Windows Authentication with Blazor Server, or some year in the future. This is very disappointing. So, I think the only choice I have at this point, is to go back to ASP.NET Core with .NET 8. I have heard that it is possible to embed Blazor components into ASP.NET Core/Razor pages, so that is an option, I hope. That way I can have ASP.NET Core MVC do the Windows Authentication and use Blazor components here and there. But I don't know how to do that and trying to find some training on how to do that is difficult. I am asking for recommendations/guidance to training either on Microsoft Learn, Pluralsight, or YouTube so I can learn how to do this and move forward. Thank you very much in advance, for your help.Will TFS 2015 work with SQL Server 2019/2022?
(I realize that this question may not be pertinent to this group. If someplace else would be better, please direct me to it.) We still have an old TFS 2015 instance running on-prem. It uses SQL Server 2012 for the TFS database. The DBAs want to upgrade that database to SQL Server 2022. I wasn't around when whoever it was that setup our TFS environment. I have no idea if TFS 2015 will work with SQL Server 2022. Can anyone please tell me if this is going to cause us problems?How do I find where OneNote stores files locally?
Recently we changed domains. This has had a negative impact upon my OneNote notebooks, because it's storing the notes locally, rather than on OneDrive. It has affected OneNote for Windows 10, and possibly OneNote. Now, I cannot get to some of the notes I've previously saved. For example, I just tried to go to a link I saved in a note, but I got this error message: Sorry, opening locally stored section files are not supported. Please upload your notes to OneDrive and then open them from there. I would gladly do this, only I have no idea where OneNote is storing them locally. And I don't know what they're named. OneNote for Windows 10 doesn't have anything like a File menu, so I don't know how to find out where the files are stored locally. How do I find that out?
