Nope not reserved. My problem is that it’s K drive. Reassigning different letters to no avail. I suspect the system petitions had something to do with it.

4377

All these missing drives are formatted NTFS right, and not something like FAT32?

4378

It’s not treating it as a readyboost device or something is it?

4379

Might help, but make sure the partition table on the drive is GUID and not MBR.

4380

Yes, it was GPT partitioned and everything.

Siniofsky with an interesting look at where Windows was 10 years ago, when the PC market’s growth had slowed to a crawl

4382

Windows 8/10 Phone was good. I hate my Android Nougat Moto.

:(

IMO, Valve and GOG saved Windows for me. (Stardock played an important role too.)

4383

So my school told me I could use the same Windows 10 Edu product key on up to two different devices. After several tries updating/wiping and reinstalling, no you can’t. Goddamnit.

4384

Not simultaneously

4385

Not sure if I want to “keep” the key on my desktop PC that I use for everything, or move it over to my new crappy-ish laptop that I’m supposed to actually use in class. The latter already has a Windows 10 Home key that is functional.

4386

Just use the embedded key, obviously.

4387

Yea, Win8 Phone was really good and my parents loved their Windows phones. Now they both have Android phones and the struggle is real. Having used both myself, I also preferred the Windows one, although would’ve liked the BlackBerry OS10 if it was still maintained.

Just a note:

Windows 10 Sandbox is a great feature for most users but it renders the computer unable to run VMware Workstation Pro. Didn’t test if Oracle VirtualBox still worked before I disabled Device/Credential/Virtualization Guard to go back to being able to use VMware.

Does it play games? Guess it is a lightweight version of HyperV.
VirtualBox still worked? That is weird, I had problems getting VBox running with HyperV enabled on my work laptop.

My Comodo installation has a sandbox feature that virtualizes all the calls out from the process I “isolate”, but it still has access to all the hardware resources, so I can play games in it with minimal loss of performance - yet all the bullshit the game (or more likely the launcher and drm) might try to do with windows or files it create/modify/spy will be redirected.

There’s rumblings that tomorrow’s Patch Tuesday is going to be extremely critical. It’s big enough that apparently the director of cyber security for the NSA is going to do a media call, too.

I am wondering if this is timed to coincide with Windows 7 being “out of support” on the same date, or if they will also ship the patch for this OS.

4392

Today is the last Patch Tuesday for Win 7, so I cannot imagine them not patching it.

4393

Ait, imagined it was the previous one being the last.

Seem to recall they came out with a XP patch a long time after that one was ‘end of support’ due to the exploits nature, and the number of installations out there.

4394

The NSA media call has already happened.

4395

This is particularly encouraging, in that the NSA notified MS and didn’t keep it to themselves for their own use. At least, as far as we know.
