Hi, We have configured DNS-over-TLS (DoT) on Windows 11 (latest version, 25H2) using: netsh dns add encryption server=<ip> dothost=<hostname> autoupgrade=yes After capturing and analyzing DNS traffic, we noticed that the DNS client always sends a TLS 1.2-only Client Hello, with no supported_versions extension offering TLS 1.3. This causes connection failures with DoT servers that require TLS 1.3. While researching this behavior, we found a Microsoft Q&A discussion mentioning that applications using the legacy SCHANNEL_CRED structure cannot negotiate TLS 1.3, while applications using the newer SCH_CREDENTIALS structure can. Could you confirm whether the Windows DNS client still uses SCHANNEL_CRED for DoT connections? If so, is there a plan to update it to SCH_CREDENTIALS to enable proper TLS 1.3 support? Thank you.8Views0likes0CommentsWindows 11 Will turning off "Allow downloads from other PCs" speed up my internet?
I saw a TikTok saying turning off “Allow downloads from other PCs” in Windows 11 makes my internet faster. It sounded like low-quality AI advice, so I’m asking here to find out if it actually works.6Views0likes0CommentsIn Windows 11, why doesn’t pinning a sticky note to a specific desktop minimize it?
I need a sticky note tool that can be pinned to a specific virtual desktop. Requirements: 1. It must remain pinned to that virtual desktop at all times and not follow when switching to other desktops; 2. It must stay in the background or remain on top, without interfering with other operations; 3. It must not automatically minimize when the Show Desktop button on the taskbar is clicked. I have tried several sticky note apps, but none can meet all of the above requirements. Please recommend a tool that meets these criteria.81Views0likes4CommentsHow to bypass or fix the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11
Hi all, I have a modern PC with a high profile CPU Intel i7-7700HQ. When I was trying to upgrade this computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11 24H2, it says This PC doesn't currently Windows 11 system requirements. I was told to run the PC Health Check app to see what kind of hardware requirements are missing. The following error is returned by the app: The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11 This is ridiculous as the CPU is pretty new and works fine when running Windows 10. Why Microsoft asks me to upgrade to Windows 11 but it does not allow me to do that. Is there any way to bypass or fix "The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11" error? Looking forward to your suggestion!246KViews6likes41Comments
