• Patch Lady – .NET previews but…..

    So this is the third week of the month when normally we should see previews for next month’s 7 and 8 platforms.

    ….and   well the word “normally” is actually a misnomer as we have no real normal anymore.

    We do have a .NET preview for next month:

    I’ll be updating the master chart list accordingly.

    We do not have a Windows 7 or 8 preview (yet) so I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any 7 or 8 preview updates that “normally” should be out yesterday.  We are still tracking networking issues in Windows 7, and 1803 still is to be deferred.

    As an aside I’ve seen a fair amount of HomeGroup folks impacted by the removal of HomeGroup in 1803.  If your devices suddenly can’t see one another try this:

    Go in the control panel, then into services.  Find  Function Discovery Resource Publication, and set it to automatic and start the service.
