I don’t agree.
The main hurdle : web sites / merchants..are slow to support Passkeys (example: askwoody)

* Syncing passkeys to other platforms, browsers, password managers.. is no different then using the same user/password everywhere.

Passkeys should be one device to one service.

Have you checked Power Management in other devices ?

Try Checking BIOS settings: Enable legacy power management or disable “Modern Standby” (Connected Standby) if available, as systems with Modern Standby often lack the Power Management tab

Why is the power management tab missing?

Newer computers support modern standby and the OS (Windows 10, 11, etc.) will enable it when present and supported in computer firmware. The Power management under network adapters is no longer present when your computer is running in modern standby mode (S0 sleep mode) because it no longer applies in that mode for those particular devices. You would have to force your OS to run in legacy standby (S3 sleep mode) for the option to reappear for network adapters. Your current network adapter and its drivers and/or firmware may simply have issues with modern standby or it may even be defective. This leaves two solutions. Either obtain a replacement adapter/driver that functions properly in modern standby or force your computer to function in legacy standby mode. Upon restart the power management tab for network devices will reappear.

Execute the following reg commands from an elevated command prompt to modify OS behavior:

Disable Modern Standby (Forcing legacy standby S3)

reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0..

I ask because the differential backups are always using the full’s TBI file as the base

Can’t comment on IFW as I use Acronis.

I run daily incremental updates after a full image that create only the changes from current Windows state. Differential updates run vs full image and are very big files that can accumulate to hundreds of GBs each.

Microsoft finally making Windows New Outlook and Classic switching attractive for haters

“Hot garbage”. That is how IT admins and systems seem to feel about the New Outlook for Windows,..

However, Microsoft seems to finally get this. In a new entry on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, the company has explained that this behaviour is changing, for the better. Following this change, users will be able to simultaneously use Classic Outlook without switching back from New Outlook..

If I have 7.5.1 and the Windows Powershell installed how do I tell which is running?  Windows Powershell used to be blue background but I find a black background with version 5.1 now.

Sorry I’m feeble-minded, ’cause I think I’ve been here before, but…

How do I set 7.35.1 as the default and the g0-to for PShell scripts?

Run powershell and the windows will display the version running.

To set default (providing you have multiple powershell versions installed), try :

Right-click a .ps1 file > Open with > Choose another app > select C:\progran files\powershell: PowerShell 7.x.x (pwsh.exe) and check “Always use this app”
