AskWoody LoungerAbout the “Query is corrupt” issue…
Do they really need too much time to fix it?
Also, looks like their crusade against perpetual licenses is still ongoing, O365 users will get the fix first (on november 24) while all other users will need to wait until december 10.

Microsoft has released another definition update (1.301.1668.0) but doesn’t seem to solve the issue.

AskWoody LoungerApril 23, 2019 at 10:31 pm in reply to: The demise of Windows 10 “Sets” – the part you won’t read about #880255I think it was here that Stardock’s version of sets was mentioned. Best $5 I’ve spent for a while and use it regularly. All windows, not just selected MS programs.
Microsoft could team up with Stardock to make Sets, I’ve read that they joined forces to make Win7’s Aero, so that wouldn’t be surprising.
They also joined forced with Chromium to make their new edge, is not a taboo thing to do anymore.

AskWoody LoungerApril 11, 2019 at 1:48 pm in reply to: Widespread reports of freezing with this month’s Win7 Monthly Rollup, KB 4493472 #351087Looks very suspicious that almost only Windows 7 and 8.1 are failing, seeing that Microsoft put a bug on purpose on Windows 10 against anti-cheat software. I can expect more dirty tricks like that.
