Re: [Knowlege share] Win11 KB5029263 updates known issues
Little_Joe When installing the latest 2023 september Windows updates, my keyboard stops working, even in the Bitlocker boot mode. I cannot use or login to my laptop anymore. First, it looked like a keyboard hardware but it's NOT, it's a Windows bug. When uninstalling the security/quality updates, and rebooting Windows 11, the keyboard is working again. I needed to uninstall all september updates, both quality and security to go back to an operational system. In Bitlocker boot modus, only a USB keyboard works, no bluetooth keyboard and the physical laptop keyboard is dead. Removing the keyboard from the Device manager and then refresh, doesn't work. I had to remove the bitlocker boot. Once Windows is booting, also an Bluetooth keyboard can be used. But this is horrific to work with for a laptop,... After the problems re-occurred again, one of the major suspects is KB5029263. It got installed automatically last night, and now the issue is back. Uninstalling the patch (and blocking automatic updates) my laptop is working again...Re: Word translator stopped working
It looks like the DNS malware protection is blocking websites that Translator is using... After a bit testing to find network issues I switched to a VPN, this way the local network firewall and the DNS PiHole (DNS adware blocker) server are out of the picture. Then Translator starts working again... but I can't find the exact DNS domain that is being blocked in the DNS server. Is there a list of DNS names that the Translator uses, I can manually unblock or put it on the DNS white list?Word translator stopped working
Hello all, since a few days, the Translator tool in Word stopped working, when selecting the translate option of a part of text, the Translator window opens in Word, but does not render the language panes I used to see (source and target language), instead the Translator hangs ... busy loading.. nothing. I can access the microsofttranslator.com website (now redirecting to Bing Translator)... Does anyone got some suggestions to troubleshoot this situation? Rgds, PeterAfter every update of Edge, all PDFs open in Edge, not in PDF reader
Since the launch of Edge as browser, Windows 10 / 11 resets the default PDF reader to Edge with every single update of the Edge browser, the PDF application default is reset. I've applied registry fixes multiple times to open my PDFs in Foxit reader (it could be Acrobat or any other PDF reader of your favor..), but nevertheless, it goes back to Edge defaults over and over again. I need to reset the PDF reader via de Windows explorer settings, opening a PDF with alternative viewer... The Windows settings > Apps > Default apps interface does not save the settings, you can check the .pdf file setting, but Edge keeps in place, an other app is not saved. Does any one have a hint or a suggestion to fix this once and for all? Rgds, Peter
