Windows 11 Thoughts

January 9, 2023, 16:14(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound) 10 Comments

Prepping For Major Windows Updates

October 10, 2022, 15:09(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound) Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I’ve written about this and with Win10 22H2 coming soon I thought I would post this for new readers.
In the past I used Service Pack updates as an excuse to clean, tweak, and organize my computers as if it were a new install. Gone are the days of Service Packs as Microsoft has moved to a yearly major feature update (version 20H2, 21H1, etc.).
The end result for me is the same and I employ the same strategy as I did before.
* A note before we start, all my “backups” are disk images using a Macrium Reflect Free bootable USB drive.

Windows 11 Tomorrow

October 4, 2021, 10:42(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Windows 11 comes out tomorrow. I’ve collected a series of links on this topic for those who are interested. This list will of course expand over the next day or so.
If you have a good link please post it.
I’ve made my feelings on Windows 11 clear and have no interest in adopting Windows 11 at this time.

Block Windows 11 From Installing

September 24, 2021, 16:41(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

A user contacted me this morning about this.

Use the registry
Copy/paste this into notepad and name it block11.reg ( not .txt):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
“TargetReleaseVersion”=dword:00000001
“TargetReleaseVersionInfo”=dword:00002212

I’ve had several emails from folks inquiring about my thoughts on Windows 11. I don’t think I’ve been ambiguous about it but here is an actual short email conversation with a friend:
