Good Afternoon Community,
I have been awarded a contract that requires Server 2016. I have contacted AMD as the RX-480 is not supported on server 2016. I can (and have) made it work, but the...
Now if I can only find a way to make the file explorer use something else than that obnoxious white background.
Painful for those of us in the 60+ and older set. I use a 3rd party File Explorer...
Well - I followed the in-place upgrade from an ISO file I just downloaded from MS using the Media Creation Tool.
This is the guide I followed: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

OK - Having heard from someone who has done it a couple of times - that gives me some increased confidence that it will not be catastrophic to my business. Having to reinstall everything is time...
Thank you for the reply,
Yes - those threads and one more are what I was referencing.
Symantec Clarification: Anything that replaces/resets/hoses the installed OS I call a "wipe". And the...
Good Afternoon Community,
I see where I am not alone in this pesky update. I have followed the threads on this forum and performed the recommended actions short of resetting or refreshing the OS....
Well, I certainly appreciate the answers...THANK YOU!
Although I must say that I am very disappointed in MS for doing this to a so-called "Enterprise" class OS.
I thank you for the pointers to...
Good Morning Community,
I am a SMB owner and was looking at moving to W10 enterprise over pro - because I don't want to spend a bunch of time removing all of the consumerware crap that ships with...
@jimbo45,
Thank you for your post. I do appreciate it.
I've done a lot of custom kernels for proprietary hardware to include device drivers I wrote. I am very familiar with Linux/FreeBSD...
LMiller7,
THANK YOU!
I understand. Linux and Windows are worlds apart - and considering that Linux is devolving (from my perspective as a 61 year old sys admin), I just got tired of fighting...
Thank You for the info.

Good Afternoon All,
I have been on W10 since it's beginning. I came from 14 years in the Linux world. In Linux, we were able to build kernels specifically for an Intel or an AMD CPU to take...
I was hoping like that! Pretty the same as W7.
THANK YOU!
Dave
Thank you! I do not have a MS account, I installed an "offline" user account. My license is from digital media I purchased - not the free W7 to W10 upgrade thing. Looks like I am going to have to...
I am a developer who does work for the VA and a DoD contractor. I am under orders to change-out my Intel MB for an AMD Threadripper one. I don't make the rules - I just have to follow them.
I am...
I perused and searched through MS's knowledge-base. Not finding my answer, I contacted Microsoft directly.
Unless there is a severe problem causing Windows stability issues - traced to errant CPU...
@lx07,
I have a question. My W10x64 Pro is current with updates. If what you say is true, why was my microcode out of date? There have been two major cumulative updates to W10 since Intel...
lx07,
Arch was my favorite distro!........Until SystemD that is. Then I switched to FreeBSD. SystemD caused me a lot of issues with the server's I support. Two of my customers have gone to Windows...
DeaconFrost,
If you are throwing ESXi at your new CPU, I encourage you to throw something like SiSoft Sandra at your VM's and make them cry in stress tests. You may be surprised. They may be...
My CPU is a Core i7 6900K on an MSI X99A Workstation MB. It is a new CPU for me, but not a new CPU on the market. I came from an AMD FX-8350 Piledriver and a Gigabyte MB which I bequeathed to a film...
In a heavy virtualized environment, little glitches in a CPU's microcode - or small inefficiencies - that may not be apparent in a desktop setting, can cause a VM to crash or misbehave. This may be...
For the record SiSoft Sandra reports:
Before Using VMWare's tool: Microcode version = MU064F011D
After Using VMWare's tool: Microcode Version = MU064F0121
Confirmed to work normally. And you...
I downloaded the AMD microcode from an archive site, as the link provided is dead. The install.bat worked as Administrator, and I am now running on the latest Intel Microcode.
This utility takes...
The issue is that I have an Intel system, and the utility is asking for AMD microcode. I followed another post and this utility requires both microcodes to be available - but will only install the...
