There's NOTHING wrong with running the command on an SSD

It runs a trim in literally 2-3 sec ... NO defrag is performed

EDIT: That said, in the ±35years of owning PC's, I have yet to see a difference in a fragmented & defragmented PC ... with the naked eye, it can't be seen ... it's marginal ;)

Yeah the difference is meh, when you have am old IDE 40gb thing it was slow in any case

I just liked watching the animation in the defragmenter in XP and watching the little blocks go from red to green when I later got some defrag freeware from a PC mag cd, can't remember the name, it wasn't NAG, something else.

There you go, that was it

I discovered so many good bits of software on those, as I had no internet at the time, VLC, HWmonitor, Winrar, etc etc

Oh and I got a demo once which I still have till this day, its called Ragdoll Masters, brilliant thing.

 
Really tempted to pull the trigger and go back to windows 7. Downside is it will be an offline PC, which is fine by me. I am getting just too many software errors, and incompatibilities as of late. Especially with the windows 10 and 11 file system changes and write permissions.

It is less than ideal for a development environment for my older software. What I will do is getting a small 256- 512 gig SSD and clone my current main PC onto that as it is a clean win 11 install, and setup dual booting. So I can have my stable dev environment and be online if needed.....fck it. Think I will do that dualboot. fck you very much mickeysoft.

Why not just run 7 in a VM if you need it? Certainly quicker and easier than dual booting.

I don't want to sukkel, shyte needs to work or it doesn't. I don't want the hassle of importing folders, dealing with save states, and all that shyte in between. Plus the extra ram usage, meaning even less for the development environment and I need all the ram I can throw at it and I need GPU rendering and computing.

VM won't cut it, dealing with a dual boot is far easier.

The other option, hosted drive, don't need to explain what goes into that, and for that price, might as well just get secondhand win 11 compatible hardware and be done with it. But considering there is nothing wrong with the old system and just spend 3.5k to make it fully functional with a 24 inch screen, new PSU and a secondhand GPU.

Cheapest option dual boot R663 bucks on amazon for a 500gig SSD, and get best of both, and I don't have to struggle with a VM and deal with a temperamental child
 

Windows 11 KB5070773 emergency update out to fix Recovery failure in Windows 11 25H2 / 24H2 - Windows Latest​

Windows 11 KB5070773 is rolling out as an out-of-band update to address a broken Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) caused by the October 2025 Patch Tuesday (KB5066835).

Our tests confirmed that the keyboard and mouse no longer work in WinRE, which renders the recovery process unusable.

On October 14, Microsoft issued Patch Tuesday security updates for all supported versions of Windows. For Windows 11 24H2/25H2, Microsoft released KB5066835, which installs automatically.

But as soon as we installed the mandatory update, we noticed that localhost no longer connects.

Microsoft used server-side updates to quickly reverse changes that broke localhost, but the second problem, which breaks Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), cannot be rolled back via server-side changes.

It requires an out-of-band (OOB) update. That’s why we’re now getting Windows 11 KB5070773 (OOB) for all PCs using version 24H2 and 25H2.

Not surprising. I’m one of them even though I was running Win11 on unsupported hardware.

Similar, had a very beefy dual Xeon workstation etc but simply no comparison to an m4 max especially with repetitive task/compiles etc.

Edit: running windows 11 arm now for visual studio and a couple other things with parallels. Very happy.
 
My hell, windows updated or something and now it is going nuts. Computer just restarted. Greeted with a windows that completely changed all the colour schemes and layouts. Now windows wants to do a repair version but I can't click on anything and everything is moerse groot. Nevermind that all my display drivers stopped working.

Windows Sucks.

WINDOWS SUCK AND SMELLS LIKE ESTATE AGENTS
 
The reason I stopped (paused ) the updates because I read online that it corrupts PC and has major issues. Yet they decided they will proceed. What bunch of incompetent corrupt corporate clown snakes.

Yes I should have a backup PC, but I am just trying to keep my head above water.

Now I have to cancel my meetings and tell everyone that their drawings will have to wait.
