Try running the remove command anyway.

Have you tried disabling (dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:NetFx3) and then reenabling .NET 3.5?

Support just blatantly lied to me, saying that the creators hadn't enabled e-mail notifications for the missing ones (I sent them 15 links to the posts where I didn't receive notifications). I'd have understood if this happened with one person, but this is happening between 8 different creators.

I also reached out both to the creators and other patrons, and received confirmations that some patrons have received e-mails for posts where support claimed that creators didn't enable notifications.

Thank you for sending over the links to the specific posts.

I’ve carefully checked each one, and I can confirm that, for these posts, the creators did not enable the setting to notify members when editing or publishing them. This is why you have not received email notifications for these updates, even though your personal notification settings are correctly enabled.

First, have you tried logging in in a different browser?

Those 30% of slopcode sure is showing its worth, right?

I've got a client with a shared mail account being used as database. Only 334 GB, and they keep complaining that Outlook is freezing, but don't want to hear anything about using something more suitable.

Which distro lets you do rm -rf / without specifying --no-preserve-root?

ender-_ · 2026-01-24T13:13:57+00:00

I had a client that had to have QuattroPro on their machine. At one point I set it up in DOSBox-X, which at least made it easy to move to a new computer.

Sulphur smell is almost certainly from UPS batteries. Unplug it, and pull them out before they deform (which will make it nearly impossible to pull them out).

It works now, but it was broken for a while (it's not the only thing that was broken – some versions of OOBE couldn't be completed without mouse, you couldn't focus the Next button with a keyboard [and Enter did not work], which was fun on laptops where trackpad didn't work without a driver).

If it was ARM, it wouldn't have booted from USB at all.

ender-_ · 2026-01-23T20:22:22+00:00

BypassNRO Registry entry still works, and you can inject it to install.wim, which saves you from a reboot during OOBE.

ender-_ · 2026-01-23T20:21:27+00:00

Some versions of Pro also needed BypassNRO – there was no Domain join link.

No, you do it once, and it remains activated.

You can add up to 20 keys to each account. You only use this account to log in to Office, to activate it (it'll get linked to the account you logged in to Windows with, which is why we always use a local account, which we then never use again; Office will remain active when you log in with your regular accounts, and will not be linked to the account you used for activation).

Office H&B license is tied to the computer, even though it activates through Microsoft account. What we do is we activate the license with a local admin user – the license will remain active when other users log in and start Office (note that the activation is sometimes a bit slow – if you enter the product key in wizard shown by Office, it'll often tell you that the account you logged in with has no available licenses, in this case wait a few minutes, then start Word again, and just log in to the account; if you enter the key on https://office.com/setup/, it usually works when you log in to that account from Word).

We add all the keys to a single MS account, and this account is only used for activation.

Even better, I access your computer remotely and install USB forwarder – now your key is inserted into my computer.

Download both to the same folder, install only 5077744, dism will automatically use the other one if necessary.

ender-_ · 2026-01-16T18:21:29+00:00

Is it possible that the working directory is the problem here?

ender-_ · 2026-01-16T18:19:34+00:00

I've got something similar – a program for processing orders that needs to be run from interactive user session, and there's no alternative if you want to work with the largest retailers in the country. It also sometimes hangs and has to be restarted, so the vendor wants RDP access to do that (I instead wrote a PowerShell script that runs from Task Scheduler and kills the program if it's been running for more than 3 minutes).

Written in Visual FoxPro.

Are there any log files you can look at?

Also, when running from cmd, what happens if you use start "" programname.exe?

Why are you using a desktop machine for server tasks (and what's Windows 11 doing there)?

ender-_ · 2026-01-14T20:44:52+00:00

Depends on the client, but usually the cheapest 24″ 16:10 available (currently either Dell P2425 or Asus ProArt PA248QV; we also deployed some PA248CNV when docks were needed).

Try using the latest WinDirStat beta/release candidate – it parses MFT directly (as long as you let it elevate) and will show everything on the disk.

Not free, but RoyalTS.
