My experiences with this update on Windows 10 are the same/similar to others' here. I couldn't get this KB installed after multiple tries--annoying because I have had no issues with updates...

Well it's been a couple of years. I actually ditched Edge a long while ago but still retain the WebView2 Runtime so that I can use the Weather app and some third party software that depends on it. ...

I also use this great software. Under Tools, I've used the Registry cleaner a few times--it seems to be more conservative than that of CCleaner so I feel a little "safer" using it. Which isn't too...

Yes, Edge is my preferred browser too. I use it for banking and financial transactions. It's fast, smooth and very stable. I haven't had any issues with it in literally months.

Secondary is...

Bitcoin's value has been falling a bit lately. Crypto mining has been driving a lot of the gpu shortage, combined with the global chip shortage.

So us non-miners have a glimmer of hope that...

*off topic**After literally months of complaining about a broken something somewhere, guess what showed up when I followed your advice? OK, this is great, a mystery solved. Since I've grown adapted...

There are no issues. As I said in an earlier post, it might have evolved into a routine that works for some and are preferred over others. Disk Cleanup isn't the only game in town, but if you like...

Hello. Good to know that it still works, at least for some. I've found that running the cleanmgr sageset/sagerun commands, along with the dism...startcomponentcleanup will actually remove something...

No, it went very quickly, only hitching a little during the cumulative update's initial installation. The .NET one was a snap. In fact, it was one of the most uneventful update processes on here in...

I've been in the EVGA queue for months now also, for an rtx3070. Except for Best Buy, which still shows msrp of 499 USD for Founders Edition cards on its site, the availability has been mostly...

I must mind my manners and say: "hello" to everyone--better late than never. So many valuable and useful threads here, I can't thank you all enough. But most of all, I enjoy reading about various...

I've been running 19043.1023 for about a day now (got KB5003214 Friday evening). No issues at all, nice and speedy and no errors in Event Viewer--Application and System logs (yet). Only thing: ...

Well! First: really appreciate refreshing this utility! OK. After disabling my script blocker, I ran BootRacer again, twice. Edit: One snip was too late but the numbers were very very close.
...

I have PCI-e version 3.0, even so, initially, the 980 Pro was without rival in speed compared to my 970 Plus. Then, over like 2 months, the write speed degraded drastically. Others were reporting...

Now this is a poster-child for getting an SSD, right? Exactly 1/3 of the startup time versus the HDD. Lovely. :D

Hmm, I like monitoring start-up times but having trouble with the vbs script found here:
Please Wait... | Cloudflare
But I had a problem this second time--it wouldn't run. Every time I clicked on...

Nah, I wouldn't use a dedicated registry cleaner myself but many do. It seems a "niche" kind of thing and some may approve, some may disapprove, all with reason.

As an alternative, I've heard some...

If something like that comes up, I run the .exe past Jotti scanner. You can also upload it to VirusTotal, which has about 3x the engines as Jotti. I am virtually certain this is a false alarm.

To confirm (or deny) something I read earlier here: does Cortana need to be enabled in order to facilitate the News and Interests feature on the taskbar?

Thanks for any info. And no, haven't...

Thank you for the tip. First, made sure Cortana was enabled and un-blocked via security software. Then changed the taskbar position from top to bottom and restarted. Unfortunately, no News and...

Quit using CC when all that brouhaha came out. Tried it once after that--it's really OK but having tried to use Speccy and it not detecting most of my hardware, I just said "the heck with it" to...

News App is still a work in progress, it seems--I don't have the News Feed on the taskbar either but that could be due to the Store App itself out of commission during the update to 21H1. The icons...

Mysteriously, my Store App came back! Three apps updated successfully so no extra wear-and-tear necessary in resetting.

There's something to be said for Insiders telemetry in this case b/c...

News App is working as usual in 19043.962 (21H1 Preview) but has the generic rectangles instead of the icons for edit, refresh, etc. My Store App went south directly following the big Edge update...

KB5000842 was what brought me to 19043.906 from .899. It was the only update in recent memory that defied my best efforts to install it.

After a week of failures and dwindling patience, I...
