This is as far back as I have gone to date.

The original 64bit x86 processor running Windows 11!

It is extremely slow and crawling along, but I have great plans for this system. Being AMD it should support 4GB DDR2 modules, so I have 4 of those on the way from wish.com and the CPU will go up to a Phenom II X4 945 - the highest this AM2 board supports.

Let's see how this system progresses from it's current state. The CPU will be 17 years old in May.

Which supplier on Wish? ... I might want to get some DDR3 (no rush, so getting cheap from wish is an option)

DDR3 I think the sweetspot is still local - but it might be worth while comparing local to wish.com. Just remember to factor in the delay and also the R35 post office handling fee.

As for my DDR2s, I went with these DDR2-800 4GB modules. Another thing to consider is DDR2 compatibility on AMD was far better than on Intel. Very few Intel chipsets will accept 4GB DDR2 modules. The opposite of DDR4 with the initial Ryzens, what a crapshoot that was :ROFL:
 
Hi Guys

Got a weird issue on a Windows 11 Laptop

I've got a network share running for some media files, power option set to "do nothing" when closing the screen etc yet after about a minute of the screen being closed devices are disconnected from the network share, any media being played externally stops and that's that.

Any ideas? I never had any issues with this under Windows 10

Traffic graph here shows the drop.

If anyone keeps having blue screen bsoding on Ryzen processors it landed up being linked to WSL2 and CPU boosting. Locked my boost to 99% and removed WSL and haven't that a blue screen in almost a week (previously I'd have 5-8 a day).

What is your advanced power settings configured as? In particular the Wireless Adapter Settings Power Saving Mode?

I have the same Wi-Fi adapter (not using it though) but it might be worthwhile checking the adapter specific settings too?

Thanks for the suggestion Roux but yes the power settings were the first things I checked, funny enough after a BIOS and feature update last night, along with disabling automatic locking with inactivity the problem seems to be resolved

I've got my money on the automatic lock being the main issue however
 

Windows 11 KB5026372 fails to install with 80070002, 0x800f081f errors, VPN issues too - Neowin​

1652274711_windows_11_bugs_(source-_sayan_s)_story.jpg


Last week, Microsoft released Patch Tuesday updates on Windows 10 (KB5026361), Windows 11 (KB5026372), and Servers. The Windows 11 update (KB5026372), however, is causing various issues on user systems. Many users are reporting that the update itself is failing to install.

Typically, affected users are reporting about two error codes accompanying the installation failures. These are 0x800f081f, and 80070002, though a user "Federico Z" on Feedback Hub has also added the "8007054F" error to the list.

The 0x800f081f is apparently a Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) issue and seems to be happening to more people.

Over on a thread by Srihan Tiwari on the Microsoft forum, the question has been upvoted by 37 using the "I have the same question" option.

Meanwhile, the second most common error seems to be the 80070002 code. 9 people have upvoted this query.

My Windows 11 shenanigans this weekend.

Back in March I noticed the Radeon 23.3.2 drivers locks up on my Ryzen 7 5700G. I recently tried the latest 23.4.3 and it was the same - just a black screen and eventually it goes back to the restore point. I wanted to see if this is something with the AMD drivers or my install of Windows 11, which I did clean back in January. One Rufus later I had a Windows To Go instance that I booted into - only funny thing is it did a disk scan and repair on the E: drive (my usual C: drive). Well after a lot of cursing because I could not load my normal Windows I finally saw the Windows OTG instance picked up my normal \Windows as a lost directory and moved it to \Found.000 which I promptly renamed back to \Windows and then Windows finally booted again.

... only it no longer asked for a PIN at sign in and the start menu was not working. The start button on the taskbar would show being pressed or not, but the start menu executable kept throwing errors in the Windows Logs. There was also a slew of security errors (go figure missing PIN).

With nothing better to do on a Saturday I backed up my 1TB Windows drive to a Hyper-V virtual disk, performed a clean install using my original Windows 11 install USB from way back in September 2021 and slowly copied back all the \Roaming appdata that I needed. I think it was about 4 hours in total, but I am now on my 3rd install of Windows 11.

I suspect a lot of messy shutdowns/hibernations did tick off my system drive and I should have done a disk check sooner. Lessons learned and all that.

Moral of the story:
* AMDs latest graphics drivers don't play nice with all APUs.
* Regularly scan your drives for errors.
* Tick the option that blocks Windows OTG from accessing system drives.

What they meant to be saying is pay attention to the thread - the update most certainly was not released exclusively for unsupported hardware. If you are playing along at home, you will be aware that Microsoft has repeated released statements saying unsupported hardware (processors too old, no secure boot, no TPM, non-UEFI MBR BIOS booting, etc) will not get updates. Both me and Ivan have installations on hardware that is not supported, and it is always good to see when new updates are still getting installed on them.

Hence his post.

On that topic, I have finally paid for the shipping on my package from the US of A and soon I will upgrade to a Phenon II quad core running Windows 11

Ok that makes sense but wouldn’t MS push all updates to an install no matter the unsupported hardware?
Once you’ve got over the initial install hurdles MS doesn’t give 2 shts about your install hardware.

How do you know that the update is specifically for 'unsupported legacy hardware'?

I have currently have Windows 11 Enterprise installed on a dinosaur PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 2GHz CPU & 4GB of RAM, so it's DEFINITELY running 'unsupported hardware' & is still on Version 21H2 - OS Build version 22000.2003.
