Windows 11 Support Thread

^ Like said, I've never been a fan of screensavers ... for the same reason i also hate RGB on a PC :p

What I do like on my screen tho, is zero icons and a live wallpaper :thumbsup: ... Like a fire burning

Absolutely... It's helping with the screen burn-in prevention. I'm using Lively Wallpaper at present:

Now show me yours.

Active processes don't put the desktop to sleep/hibernate, neither in hybrid mode. In "hybrid sleep" you can still "sleep" in the power menu. "Hybrid sleep" overrides "Sleep" and "Hibernate". You only need to enable a single option.
 

Microsoft admits it can't fix Windows 10 KB5034441(and Windows 11 KB5034440) - "0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE" - Neowin​

Microsoft released the first Windows 10 and 11 Patch Tuesday updates of 2024 on the 9th with January's KB5034122 and KB5034123 respectively.

In a separate article, the company also detailed another security fix for a BitLocker Secure Boot bypass vulnerability that is being tracked under ID "CVE-2024-20666."

Microsoft said that the security flaw could allow threat actors to bypass BitLocker encryption if they managed to get physical access to an unpatched PC.

The issue was addressed by KB5034441 (on Windows 10) and KB5034440 (on Windows 11) which were WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) updates.

Microsoft, however, also cautioned that inadequate space on the recovery partition could lead to a "0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE" error message when trying to install the WinRE WIM (Windows Imaging Format) update.

The issue can be resolved by allocating an additional 250 MB of storage space to the recovery partition. Details on how to do that can be found in this dedicated article.

The company had promised a fix was in the works, and later also officially confirmed that those without a WinRE partition could entirely skip it.

However, at least on Windows 10, Microsoft has acknowledged that an automatic resolution for this issue will not be released and as such, the only way to fix this is manually.

Hence, it looks like Microsoft has given up on an automatic fix for the issue at least on Windows 10. Hopefully, the same does not happen with Windows 11 as the issue is still open there.

Microsoft has confirmed that the April 2024 Windows security updates break VPN connections across client and server platforms.

The company explains on the Windows health dashboard that "Windows devices might face VPN connection failures after installing the April 2024 security update or the April 2024 non-security preview update."

"We are investigating user reports, and we will provide more information in the coming days," Redmond added.

The list of affected Windows versions includes Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 and later.

The complete list of affected Windows versions and problematic security updates includes:

While Microsoft has yet to provide the root cause behind these VPN failures, it advised home users to use the Windows Get Help app if they need support with their personal or family accounts.

It also said that small business and large enterprise customers who require help should reach out via the dedicated "Support for Business" portal.

I used to be able to double click a zip file and then just drag it into the folder in the address bar. But no, not on Windows 11 anymore. Just one of the many annoying things. Yes, there is more than one way to do something, but why change something that used to work.

Another annoying thing is that the address bar doesn't work or display properly
