A nag banner in the lower-right has been a "feature" of Windows for many years, of course, but usually it only applied to "Non-Activated" installations.

Thanks, Microsoft, I really need you to tell me I'm on non-authorized hardware, like I didn't already know...

Windows 11 Hardware Nag Update... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Speaking of nags, I need to update the “Windows 10 Update” image.....

Way off topic, but does anyone have any suggestions for photo restoration programs for a Mac? Something simple a dummy like me could use?

Scratch & noise removal, tear repair, color restoration, all that stuff.

I keep getting prompted to download Edge.

Next step they will shut you off. nd all efforts to circumvent.

Supporting Bill Gates in any form is a moral crime.

It’s easy enough to fix...

“...compared to Windows XP’s 3.62 percent....”

Do they count XP VMs?

You're right, that's WAY off-topic. :-)

Maybe post a different thread? Vanities like that are usually tolerated pretty well.

I recommend that you also ping FReeper Swordmaker for assistance.

Thanks!

Great suggestion. Note: available for MacOC, Windows, and iOS. No Linux or Android.

MacOC -> MacOS

an undocumented feature

I'm in the industry and that's an old, polite was of saying, "Bug".

[AF_Blue]

Yep.

If I had a system using a 1GHz processor and 4GB of RAM, I wouldn’t be trying to use Win11. Linux Mint or WinXP, maybe.

The ultimate Windows Service Pack.

I gave up Windows when they started talking of sunsetting XP. I use XP only on a Sun Virtual Box VM. So if I need Winders, there it is.

Linux does the trick.

What did the installer say was the specific problem?

This kinda crap makes Win 7 look pretty good. Linux also.

[Paladin2]

Win 7 on this machine. Linux on the desktops.

Handhelds have whatever they came with.
