Windows 10/11 Update... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Leave it to Microsoft to release stuff that’s only usable with Intel chips. And even then chock full of bugs. Microsoft has to be one of the most half-a$$ed companies in history. It is the General Motors Corporation of the computer world.

“Another fix prevents PowerShell from eating a PC alive by creating an infinite number of child directories. “This issue occurs when you use the PowerShell Move-Item command to move a directory to one of its children. As a result, the volume fills up and the system stops responding,” Microsoft explained.”

Microsoft actually released an OS that does this. What incompetence. Did they even test it? They must have hired some left over Range Rover engineers.

I’ve been using Win 11 on my desktop and Surface Pro 6 since it was released on 10/05. I haven’t had any issues.

FYI:

Block Windows 11 with Registry Editor

2- Type regedit.exe and select the Registry Editor search result.
3- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.
4- Set the Dword TargetReleaseVersion to 1. ...
5- Set the value of TargetReleaseVersionInfo to 21H1. ...
6- Restart the PC

Stayed with Win10......

Among reasons I bought a Surface Pro X was Win 11 (among). Interestingly, only today did MS give the green light on the upgrade.

I’ll wait.

[Terry L Smith]

Not doing it.

Nor am I buying a new one either.

[Political Junkie Too]

I have a computer (Intel, not AMD) that's less than 6 months old and got the icon to install Win 11. I hid it for now.

Yikes. I never thought of doing that in PowerShell.

Guys I see you posted something to me, but they are not showing what you wrote!

Surfshark runs on powershell. My desktop was used by folks to print or do paperwork and they ran some program to clean the machine that uninstalls Windows Powershell so often I find my self reinstalling to run Surfshark as when you turn it on it says it needs it to work and automatically reinstalls.

The 1 year old laptop upgraded to Win 11. But the desktop which about 3 years old in two months cannot as it has wrong processor. To force it to install is a tough process. Will result in no security updates from MS.

Sloppy programming brought about by programmers and managers knowing they can be sloppy and just do daily ‘updates’ as they desire. No need to create solid code and a good product, just get it out there as sloppy as it may be and ‘update’ it.
