Updating Windows 8.1 To 10
Lalo Scalf
I have dual booted my computer, (by default the OS my computer boots into is Ubuntu) and I now want to update my Windows 10 to Windows 11, will this affect my Ubuntu installation.I have read in some place that this can lead to MBR being overwritten and hence I could loose my Linux system, is it possible that I can do this without affecting my Ubuntu system
It seems that Microsoft considers the installation of Grub as an unsecure threat, which sould be deleted to be able to upgrade to Windows 11.
I interprete this that the quality of Linux is so high that Microsoft considers it as a threat for their futuristic market share!
I had a dual-boot setup with windows 10 & a debian-based linux OS. I used the windows 11 assistant to upgrade my windows 10 pro version to windows 11 pro. Everything transferred fine, including the dual-boot linux operating system. No problems!
I had both windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 on dual boot (default OS: windows 10). I've visited this thread before upgrading to W11. I decided to back up Ubuntu and give it a try. And, I've upgraded to Windows 11 just a few hours ago using insiders, and it hasn't affected my Ubuntu installation at all. Everything's alright:) And lemme let you know, W11 isn't just fast, it's quicky quick quick to boot compared to W10 and the current version is pretty stable as far as I've explored and based on the reviews.
I dualboot my Arch Linux with Windows 10 with secure boot disabled. I first tried upgrading in a QEMU virtual machine (with secure boot EFI and emulated TPM module, also had to passthrough my own CPU because the emulated CPU wasn't supported), had no problems and then I just upgraded my main machine. Everything works fine (except HP BIOS automatically selected Windows Boot Manager instead of GRUB but that can be fixed by copying the "Microsoft" folder to somewhere safe, deleting it, rebooting system so it auto-selects GRUB this time, then copying that folder back -NOTE: I don't recommend doing it-).
I used the Windows 11 upgrade tool to do it instead of an ISO which is why it finished without giving me "Secure Boot is disabled" error. (Secure boot was disabled while installing, hardware supports it -HP Pavilion 15-dk0005nt-)
I had Fedora 34 running parallel with Windows 10 on my ThinkPad X1 Yoga (3rd Gen) laptop. Just to upgrade Windows to Windows 11 I turned on Secure Boot and TPM in UEFI/BIOS and downloaded the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft to start the upgrade. Upgrade was successful. GRUB works fine.
I just updated a Dell Laptop that is dual booting Ubuntu 22.04 with Windows. I had Window 10 (the free download version) and it all went incredibly smooth. All I did was to boot Windows 10 (the second option in the bootloader order in grub) and simply choose to Upgrade to Windows 11. After the download and installation it rebooted to the usual grub bootloader, I chose Windows and it loaded Windows 11. No issues at all, nothing special to be done.
Have Dropbox app on Desktop (windows). It has been showing sync for weeks. When I click on the tray icon it says "updating 2 files" I have no idea what the 2 files are. Since that started I have several folders with the blue sync icon that are not syncing. I turned off firewall, rebooted, shutdown dropbox and restarted with same issues. What happened?

Hi Community, Today I updated my profile picture on teams and picture gets updated as well but I am only able to see the updated picture on hovering over the profile, but unable to see the updated picture on my profile icon.
Is this a bug or something?
Please fix this
@diethrone It can take 24 to 48 hours for your profile picture to update across M365 and your icon to update. I just recently did the same thing and it was showing my old picture on the icon and my new picture when hovered over as well. You can try and speed things up by logging out of Teams and logging back in.
I followed the instructions found in the post regarding this, but my name still says "unknown user", and my profile picture is not updating. I updated the information on my account Monday morning, and today is Friday. Today, I cleared the cache, deleted the app and downloaded it again, and I still cannot get it to update my name and profile picture.

On July 19, 2024 at 04:09 UTC, as part of ongoing operations, CrowdStrike released a sensor configuration update to Windows systems. Sensor configuration updates are an ongoing part of the protection mechanisms of the Falcon platform. This configuration update triggered a logic error resulting in a system crash and blue screen (BSOD) on impacted systems.
The update that occurred at 04:09 UTC was designed to target newly observed, malicious named pipes being used by common C2 frameworks in cyberattacks. The configuration update triggered a logic error that resulted in an operating system crash.
CrowdStrike has corrected the logic error by updating the content in Channel File 291. No additional changes to Channel File 291 beyond the updated logic will be deployed. Falcon is still evaluating and protecting against the abuse of named pipes.
We understand how this issue occurred and we are doing a thorough root cause analysis to determine how this logic flaw occurred. This effort will be ongoing. We are committed to identifying any foundational or workflow improvements that we can make to strengthen our process. We will update our findings in the root cause analysis as the investigation progresses.
I'm looking for a setting to turn off the constant updates to all the view windows when working in the documentation side of things. For example, I have a sheet where I simply have several standard residential details that I include in my standard set of house plans. But every time I view that sheet, those detail windows are updating. I haven't updated those details in years, so why does Archicad think it needs to update the views every single time? Doesn't Archicad know there have been no changes to those windows?
Similarly, when I edit a section cut view by adding a simple 2D line, suddenly now every dang sheet and every window and every view and everything has to update! It's driving me nuts and I can't find the correct setting to stop that. Archicad should already know that I only added a 2d line to a section cut - why does it have to update the roof framing layout views and the default framing details? Can anyone point me int he right direction?
But I still don't understand why Archicad must update a section cut if I only added 2D linework to the floorplan. It's terribly unnecessary, gobbles resources, and more importantly - takes a ton of time during a day of work. Isn't there some setting for this? "Only update when there are changes" Something like this?
I'm finalizing the plans and open a Sheet/PDF from my organizer. That sheet/pdf window is open on my screen. It does its update of that screen (which I'm ok with since I'm outputting, I want to be sure it's the most current version), and then I use the 'Publish' button to output the PDF file. Archicad then shows the 'Publishing' window while it outputs all the sheets into the PDF. When it's done, I click the 'Close' button in that Publishing window. This takes me back to the exact same Sheet/PDF that just updated only seconds ago - and No Other Changes have been made anywhere - but it has to do it's dumb update yet again! Why? Nothing has changed on the sheet - nothing has changed in the drawings, nothing has changed in the PDF output - Nothing has changed! Why does it insist on updating * every * dang * time * ! And, of course, as soon as I switch to another totally unchanged view/sheet -it has to update as well. 3 to 5 seconds of updates for every view, every sheet, every time I switch views - and I'm easily into hours of wait time over the course of a project - all for what? For the windows to update with no changes? Shouldn't Archicad be keeping track of what has and has not been updated?
Hi sophos team.
I have an issue with sophos endpoint.
The computer is so lagged when updating windows. Sophos endpoint defense software and sophos file scanner took over 50% cpu, do we have settings to bypass scanning update from window.
Can you try applying these Microsoft recommended exclusions, which can also be found in the following knowledge base article - -000033519?language=en_US and see if it helps? You may try excluding the Wsusscan.cab and Wsusscn2.cab files or excluding all .cab files from scanning.
If this process during a Windows update is creating a lot of reg keys/values and files, SSPService is subjected to a lot of regkeycreate and regvaluewrite operations. Plus all the new files. These operations are all journaled. The activity from SophosFileScanner.exe would suggest many of the files are being scanned as well.
If you wanted to test the behaviour with tiworker.exe excluded as a process. I.e. it is referenced in OnAccessExcludeProcessPaths under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Endpoint Defense\Scanning\Config once the policy comes down.
