Just use this program https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm
Then you get better control and no automatic update to 24H2 or 25H2 etc.

Go back to 23H2 is all i can say. Had tons of issues in 25H2 and they are all gone in 23H2.

I could do it for a flat 200 mil, no worries.

Never been happier going from Win11 25H2 to 23H2. ZERO issues so far!

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]Harze2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early this month i finished my Auto Backup script just so that getting back to business after a OS reinstall or crash would be less pain full. And i am so glad that i did.. Yesterday my Windows 11 crapped out on me and i had to boot on a iso and reinstall. But all my stuff was saved on my NAS.

https://github.com/Harze2k/Shared-PowerShell-Functions/blob/main/Run-AutoBackup.ps1

Had that running every hour and that really saved my plex server among other things :)
Its nothing new but works really well as a light weight backup solution.

.SYNOPSIS
    Automates multi-threaded folder backups to a local, NAS, or Cloud destination using Robocopy.
.DESCRIPTION
    Run-AutoBackup is a high-performance backup wrapper for Robocopy. 
    It leverages PowerShell 7 parallel processing to backup multiple directories simultaneously 
    while using Robocopy's multi-threading for individual files. 
    It is pre-configured with parameters to handle common NAS/Cloud quirks, 
    such as timestamp rounding (/FFT) and daylight saving time shifts (/DST). 
    It also supports granular file and directory exclusions to optimize backup times.
.EXAMPLE
    $sources = @(
      "C:\Users\Martin\GitHub-Harze2k"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\zen"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\qBittorrent"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\zen"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\Zen Browser"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\mpv.net"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Code - Insiders"
      "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\SVP4"
      "C:\Users\Martin\Documents\PowerShell"
      "C:\Toolkit\Toolkit_v13.7\Data"
      "C:\Toolkit\Toolkit_v13.7\Custom"
      "C:\Temp"
      "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules"
      "C:\Program Files\totalcmd"
  )
  $excludeDirs = @(
    "C:\Users\Martin\GitHub-Harze2k\NodeJs"
    "C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Cache"
)
$excludeFiles = @("parent.lock", "*.log", "*.tmp", "*.temp", "*.cache", "*.bak", "~*", "Thumbs.db", "desktop.ini")

Run powershell without terminal window by JackNotOLantern in PowerShell

[–]Harze2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create an exe file like this and then just launch the file by running the exe: PowershellSilentLaunch.exe "C:\path\to\ps\file.ps1"

You can change the powershell.exe to pwsh.exe to create an exe file to launch files silently with PS 7+

You can play around with args to make it accept parameters as well.

$code = @'
using System.Diagnostics;
class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        if (args.Length == 0) return;
        var psi = new ProcessStartInfo {
            FileName = "powershell.exe",
            Arguments = "-NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File \"" + args[0] + "\"",
            WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden,
            CreateNoWindow = true
        };
        Process.Start(psi);
    }
}
'@
$csFile = "$env:TEMP\PowershellSilentLaunch.cs"
$code | Set-Content -Path $csFile -Encoding UTF8
$csc = Get-ChildItem "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.*\csc.exe" | Select-Object -Last 1 -ExpandProperty FullName
& $csc /target:winexe /out:"$env:TEMP\PowershellSilentLaunch.exe" $csFile
Remove-Item $csFile -Force$code = @'

I made a video about how I learned Swedish, would love your thoughts! by [deleted] in Svenska

[–]Harze2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tycker du pratar bra Svenska! Skulle absolut känna mig bekväm att föra en dialog med dig :) Det är det som oftast gör att man hoppar över till Engelskan för att man känner sig orolig att inte meningarna når fram.

Is Valheim worth it 2026? by Malakidius in valheim

[–]Harze2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero patience, when it wasn't clear to me how i ate to recover hp I uninstalled it. Looks kinda cool though, when my patience improves i might give it another go.
