1·1 month agoIf those keys do not exist, then there is no policy configured to either force enable or disable Copilot.
N editions should exclude just certain media features. I remember it trying in Win 7 days and never touched it again, never saw a point. Some additional info. Important bit is to not use Home edition, use Pro, Education or Enterprise instead.
As for Copilot, is there anything under these registry keys?
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
I recommend also taking a knife and peel it a bit so it is basically flat.
3·2 months agoIt is good that same rules apply for everyone no matter their status. Of course there are some people where this does not apply, but it should be like that.
It seems it is elephant in most languages. I was not even aware English idiom has a bull instead.
Wanted to post this as well. Bob′s stories in WILTY are hilarious and an absolute delight to listen to.
I think it would just filter people who know what the correct answer is supposed to be.

71·2 months agoDepends where you live and how enforced anti piracy laws are. I have downloaded stuff for 15 or so years through 3 or 4 different ISPs from static IP and have never had any issues.
Only thing that you could somehow call a protection is I do not use ISP owned DNS server.
Android I think just uses same credentials you use to unlock account, at least I am not aware of any recovery key. And you are prompted for credentials from time to time so it is harder to forget. I use fingerprint as main unlock + pattern and I have to enter pattern roughly once a week I think.
On Windows if you set up Windows Hello (fingerprint or PIN usually), you are not reminded to enter password afterwards so eventually you can forget it. And if you do not know your password and cannot recover account, you will not be able to retrieve BitLocker recovery key. So fix to this problem could be another annoyance to users if it would be implemented as Android does it.
Most likely this is the #1 reason. When Passkeys will become more popular, that will be another problem for regular users unless there is an easy account recovery option.
Another possibility could be switching to local account and deleting MS account, but I would imagine that is more rare and most people would just abandon account. Then it can become the same issue with forgotten password though.
Handle of 5 is the best. They usually also have a bit of a weight in it, I hate light forks.
2·4 months agoAnother example is Exchange where all Admin Center (GUI) operations are calling PS commands underneath. Not everything is in Admin Center so you must use PS eventually. Not to mention that you cannot perform batch tasks without scripting.
I love its Verb-Noun system and verbose parameter names. It’s easy to understand what command or parameter does just by the name. Get-MailboxPermission probably retrieves mailbox permissions, Stop-Process stops process, Remove-ADUser deletes AD user etc. If there would be no auto complete I might find it irritating, but once you get a hang of it, it’s a breeze.
I would not put them in same category. Apple and Samsung make smartwatches. Garmin is offering sportwatches. If Garmin is really trying to compete with smartwatches, they are dumb.
It’s just as cool as any other cloud storage :) I think I prefer Dropbox, but OneDrive is fine as well. Can’t recall last time I had serious issues with either of them.
If we are talking about folder backup feature, I personally don’t like it and think cloud storage should target only 1 special folder. Then again it is very useful for regular users - Sally from accounting team no longer will lose her 100 important files that she keeps on her desktop after computer gets ransomware.
And it is an optional feature so I don’t really understand what is everyone complaining about.
