In the latest Beta build, the OOBE portion of Windows Setup gains interesting name controls. Cool deets follow! #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/26220-806…

Today I'm fighting zombies: zombie registered PCs and MS Store devices. Sounds funny, but not really all that humorous. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Checking ReliMon I see 3 quick repeats of the same "critical error." Further research says it's a false alarm. So I fix it... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/alexandri…

Life gets interesting when applications or environments must update themselves. This morning, that leads to an interesting PowerShell update oddity. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/ps-versio…

Story uses stats to bolster idea that AI summaries in search engines (e.g. Google) cut traffic to smaller content providers. Not seeing this at edtittel.com, but I believe it's true. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz neowin.net/news/report-ai…

Here's the best discussion of the NVIDIA DLSS 5 hoopla I've seen so far. FWIW, goes a long and better way to explain why Jensen Huang said the naysayers are wrong about this technology. Fascinating! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz techspot.com/news/111719-sa…

I just learned that sometimes #WinGet versions (or instances) can make the difference between success and failure. Interesting! Deets provided... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/winget-ve…

Have to chuckle. NVIDIA makes much of its new DLSS 5 graphics rendering technology. Fine print: demo took two RTX 5090s to run (each costs US$2.1-4K right now). I'm not likely to benefit from this: are you? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

More good stuff in 26220.8062 Beta build: You get a setup pane to assign a machine name (no more bogus synthetic names). #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

OK, then: the latest Beta release (Bld 26220.8062) grants Settings access to & control over Restore Points (RPs). Cool! #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/build-262…

PC sales expected to "correct" in 2026. Gee: given RAM and SSD pricing and scarcity, what else could happen? Seems kinda inevitable, but here's the IDC take. #WinodwsInsiders #MVPbuzz idc.com/resource-cente…

Reading about the KadNap botnet, I can't help but notice it targets ASUS routers. Don't I have one? A quick check ensues... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/asus-rout…

Have to chuckle: #PatchMyPC Home Updater does no better with Adobe Acrobat updates than #WinGet. Only way that works: use in-app update, remember to exit app before fiiring it off. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

I didn't blog yesterday because I was stuck in the "new processor" boot alert ALL DAY LONG. Sigh. Here's the skinny... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/stuck-ins…

After my primary desktop Flo6 gets "all shook up," I have to laugh at a bogus RDP error. Image & deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/ongoing-r…

Had to babysit the DL for NVIDIA 595.79 (kept pausing). Now installing, finally. Seems like a big run-up for an uncertain outcome. #WindowsInsiders #MVPBuzz

Interesting! I MUST now login into the NVIDIA app to launch a driver download. Takes almost a minute for app-to-browser-to-app handoffs to complete. It's always something. Driver downloading now, tho, also slowly... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

And now, here's a brand-new NVIDIA Studio Driver 595.79 released today (3/10/26). Let's give THAT one a try! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Just had Sandbox lose network access. Couldn't stop the underlying VM process, so I rebooted. OK: it's now all back, all working. Odd. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
