Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing some Windows devices to boot into BitLocker recovery after installing last month's Windows security updates. We'll see what it breaks soon enough
|
|
|
|
|
Probably something people seldom use any more. Like printing.
|
|

Every machine in my company is BitLocker encrypted and we didn't have any instances of this issue occur. I wonder if the issue is that there was a BIOS update for some manufacturers that wasn't flagged properly in the July updates.

There are a lot of zany manufacturers out there. It's always been Windows' worst problem (and what Apple avoids so it seems 'better' at these things)

With the Start menu being at the heart of Windows, it is vital that it functions in a way that makes sense to people. Sadly, this has not always been the case. People look for stuff to run on the Start menu?
I guess I end up doing it every few weeks, but mostly I try to ignore it

Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome. Now we know the answer to the question, "who will block the blockers?"

Quote: A new option to view shortcuts you have installed organized by category is available in the latest beta build of Windows 11. The new view groups together shortcuts for similar or related apps, so all of your music apps are together, all of your entertainments, and so on.
And you could do something like this with a start menu subdirectory way back in Win 7. My lord, how effin dumb are we going to get if we continue down this current road?

As the groundbreaking show Yo! MTV Raps delivered hip hop culture into suburban living rooms across America, some, er, brilliant marketers convinced Microsoft that they should jump on the cultural bandwagon. ... ... ... whiskey. tango. foxtrot.
I am so ashamed for all those involved.
I made it through 2:21 of the video. Can anyone make it through the whole thing?

At 0:55 in, the next article on that page, "Snooker legend Steve Davis masters the synthesizer" looked far more interesting. Then I found that the cringefest of a video was posted 12 years ago. Upgrade DOS 5.0? Who the **** cares?

I did, but then I have completion issues. Where would it have been shown anyway? 5 minute video?
Oh yeah, the disks were 5.25 floppies even!
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

By "your", we mean Marketing Manager Mike, who still isn't sure what 'code' means.
