Windows 11 Support Thread

[HAL 9000]

OH YAY! - just fired up my laptop to check for any work emails - and Windows Update is now also doing this huge update here as well... at least it has an SSD so the install should go quite quickly once the download has completed...

Update ?

Update ?

Finally managed to get my friend's HP laptop (i7 10th Gen CPU / 8GB RAM) to download & successfully install it on the second attempt - but my Lenovo laptop (i5 12th Gen CPU / 8GB RAM) successfully installed it with NO issues on the first try...

It's that time of the month again...

Linux Mint. Use the Cinnamon version.

It can do everything Win 11 can do and much more.

Can it run Excel?

Can it run Excel?

Yeah it can. I use the WINE software (Install it once off) and then install MS-Office.

Everything except for a straightforward method of mapping network drives

The latest update broke my one Windows 11 PC. Anyone else having issues?

It is like the OS does not recognize the TPM. I still need to do deeper troubleshooting, but it is late.

So... This last update corrupted a lot, including the drivers. I was able to repair it via another Windows 11 PC in which I installed the drive. I see that others are experiencing issues too. I don't know whether MS is aware, and that their emergency update also remedied this. I don't see them bringing up any such issues.

All good now.

^ system restore point ?? Would have been faster ?

Nothing, all corrupted.

Nothing, all corrupted.

Typical Windows.

This is why I changed to Linux Mint.

I have never previously experienced such an issue with Windows. The update process wasn't even interrupted. It wasn't hard to remedy, and I do have testbench systems, so no real hassle.

People are still moving to Linux Mint. For ordinary users, I think Pop_OS is better. The new Ubuntu 25.04/10 is bliss. CachyOS is the best though.

I think this update is being force installed if you had the old update installed and then it's immediately restarting your computer, I had no outstanding updates to install and I went out for an hour and when I came back my computer had been restarted and this update had been installed.
I wasn't having any issues though but maybe MS thought my system was one of the vulnerable ones.
