I would recommend to bring the motherboard to some of your local IT services (if available). I suugest to let them re-load the firmware.

My experience is, that this method fixed my same issue, there was broken controller on the MB and reloading the firmware fixed my issue.

I suggest to run

whoami /groups

you can check the security goup membership for affected users. I mean – look for groups that are different for users who is able to set it and is not able to set it.

I dont know how it works with Azure/Intune, but on the good old AD, I would open group policy editor and look what is blocking it.

Thats very strange article.. Seems like they found the way to find quickly prime numbers used for the encryption?

Also I dont understand how can quantum computing be done on a

commercial cellphone, or a commercial Linux desktop

??? Seems more like a theory, or just they got inspired by quantum computer? Please help me to understand.

I try to keep in touch with this technology, but still its a baby in diapers and still I do not understand the whole thing.

Very nice link, b.

Maybe some of these settings are disabled for @RRtechgroup

Windows Hello as a convenience PIN is disabled by default on all domain joined and Microsoft Entra joined devices.

Harvesting people data goes live! To use it for marketing and generating more profit. Without any consent. How far can Microsoft go without any audit?

If this is the future of AI, I am very disapointed. At the same time quality seems very poor right now.

ME: are you AI?
COPILOT: Yes, I’m an AI. This is Bing. I’m sorry, but I can no longer continue this conversation. Thank you for your visit.

Closed this real time fraud immediatelly.

From my angle of perpective, Windows Hello and PIN are sytematically disabled in large organisations(enterprises), just because they do not meet security regulations. Usually its not possible to enforce policy like 3-months validity, complexity or history. This said – I have it seen disabled in all three global organisations I work for as a contractor.

The question is, why are we left so afraid of the software from the worlds most powerful computer company?

Well it depends on every sigle person what is holding them back.. Mostly its empirical, that upgrades may break something, some of your settings, etc.. Patches are also not 100% tested on these myriads of different configs. They go through the preview update ring, then after “debugged” are released for regular users, who are not in the preview channel. So people are testing, its not done internally, but publicly.

Not saying its completely “changes for the sake of changes”, but sometimes it just looks like something needs to be developped, just to say “were working on it”.

Linux? Do not get me started. Not for ordinary people.

Maybe not suitable for all, but you should adjust your opinion, since GNU/Linux is not only for keyboard gurus as before. Most distros offer self-installing packages for software, that you can easily download and run by doubleclicking them. Also its usually free and driven by large communities. But I respect your opinion. I only can recommend you to try some distro, so you could see its fully functional.
Because unless you step out of your comfort zone you be

..stuck with Microsoft

Its up to you.

What I like the most is, that you can define something like “please load my variables from a *.INI file” and the AI generates nice commented piece of code. Then it look very proffesional with *.INI file attached in the folder.

Now I look like an absolute PRO, when “I” developped availability watchdog sending emails via SMTP when something goes offline :)-

With the number of fraud ads and fake websites, I am glad that Microsoft starts to punish some advertisers for their attitude, although I dont know who is complaining that Microsoft has his money.

I think its time to reduce number of marketing (psychology) applied on users. At least to dismiss non-validated ads and frauds. Otherwise, we are going to live like in this movie.

Well.. if I go to Liberec(CZE) ZOO and see the white tiger there, I feel very sorry for him. The animal is very slim, living on a 50 square meters, observed by humans all day long.
From my angle of perspective, these small ZOOs should have been prohibited for such large animals. I think only safaris should be allowed, not small cages for large animals.

Some of species listed did not extinct recently, like for example Oʻahu ʻakialoa was last seen on 1940 (WIKIPEDIA), but if they have not been seen for long, they are considered extinct.

Some of species listed were endemical, which means living only on place on Earth, so probably industrial progress could have killed them (like Stirrupshell.

Its a sad fact. Maybe we could start more project like Svalbard Global Seed Vault, before its too late?

Yes, I think you are correct, I have seen similar issues.
Sometimes (not very often, 5 times a year I would say, but I support hundreds of devices, so its pretty low probability to happen) updates broke Outlook index, and searching was not working well.

Its not difficult to fix it, just select “indexing options”, select the item you have problem with, click “Advanced” and “Rebuild”.

Depending on your data size, the index will be rebuilt. I suggest to let this run through the night.

Agreed, I changed that. AHCI is completely legit setting, with one SSD configuration.
Also, while RAID selected, Windows installation do not see any hard drive, unless I load Dell RAID drivers during the installation.

My opinion is, that updates should respect the setting I have, not change it arbitrarily.

I think its clear whats happening – Microsoft is training its AI on users and pushes Bing in place of peoples favorite – Google (no matter what we think, Google is still the GO-TO for vast majority of users).

Not sure how your OneDrive is set-up, which folders you backup or not.. I think some powershell script could do that for you, but lets try it easy.

Basically – I would go offline on affected computer, delete these-copy files and stay offline.
On some other PC, I would log to your OneDrive via https://portal.office.com and also delete all those -copy files.

Then I would go online again, wait for OneDrive to synchronise with your PC and nothing should come back..
If this does not work, let us know, we will try another way.

Personally, during last few months, I witnessed several Dell computers have changed their SATA operation mode swithched from AHCI to RAID, thus unable to boot (“No bootable devices found”).
Fix was obvious – switch back to AHCI mode.
not sure about what caused it exactly – I suppose it was BIOS update .
So I check the storage operation mode everytime when I face issue like this.
