I had “tuck web search results into the #1 spot you’re about to click on” the other day for the last time. dashed off an email to our MSP to disable that poo poo and deploy it to everyone. Feels good.

Every morning when I come in my WSL2 system is frozen (all terminals stopped in their tracks) and Vmmem.exe is using either 1, 15, or 832 MB of memory and pegging all the CPU it can. Only a reboot seems to fix it. Very good software! edit: I guess I can escalate and stop and start the vmcompute / Hyper-V host compute service. Maybe my IT should stop my computer from going to sleep! Hed fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Oct 13, 2022 |

Cybernetic Vermin posted:probably a wslg fuckup, tried a simple 'wsl --update' to make sure you're on the latest? have had that happen too, but not in a bit. Thanks, I tried this but it still fucks up. I even tried editing .wslconf or whatever and removing the stuff I had in there (like memory limits under Win10) and leaving everything defaults, then after your tip doing the WSLg disable. No effect unfortunately. Win11 is spectactularly bad for me... between my work laptop pegging CPU with Vmmem.exe coming out of sleep, and my desktop keeps doing this thing where it makes sounds, keyboard and mouse work, etc. but the screen doesn't wake up. I can RDP into it and everything is there, but it refuses to light up my display. RTX 2080. It's a POS!

Using OneDrive for Business seems nicer than shared drives in a lot of ways except when the SharePoint leaks out. I can't send a link to a spreadsheet or otherwise a reference that will open in the recipient's desktop Excel like I could with UNC paths. Everyone's crap is mounted in like C:\Users\bofa.DEEZNUTZ\Deez Nutz Inc.\Sharepoint Folder - General\garbo.xlsx

VDP1 posted:Allow Telemetry being set to none is only honored by Enterprise and Education SKUs. I finally got our MSP to change this so MSFT doesn't get every Window.Title, set it to level 0 (Security). Hopefully that doesn't gently caress anything up long term, Microsoft is a little weasely that it will hurt Windows Update stuff but upon further reading that's just the telemetry that shows they hosed up an update.

Azure somehow put some of our employees in a Preview flag state so they can't connect to their VMs. It offers some new RDP thing but complains that it then needs a public IP to connect (wtf). If I try to go to their accounts and opt out of feature previews they claim that there aren't any even though this new connection screen is titled "Connect (Preview)".

git apologist posted:it will need a public ip because the service endpoints are publicly routable, if you are lucky ms offers a private endpoint you can deploy into your vpc or whatever azure calls that poo poo idk but it was absolutely using the RFC 1918 address to RDP from last week. And now two people on my team have been opted into this. The rest of it can still RDP to 172.16.x.x or whatever through the portal's configured .rdp file and it works.

If I search a chat in Teams, it will find the result in the list. If I click the result to go to the context, it just dumps me in the middle of the chat. My term/match isn't highlighted, and i'm pretty sure it's not in view. Maybe this is because I have compact mode on? anyway, what a pos

Why does Microsoft make it so hard to get a download link for OneDrive? I'm trying to share a 300MB CSV (lol) over email and it sends a link that tries to open up in Excel and then just says "Sorry, this is over 100MB. You can close the tab now." Very helpful
