I dont like the fact they label things as a virus when it isn't, it doesnt instil confidence in the way they detect threats..
Take Desktop Goose for example, it is in no way a virus, however, it does virus-like behavior such as the goose controlling your mouse for a few seconds.
Windows itself is a virus.
I have heard that Microsoft has a secret regarding the definition of malware. The company often considers software malware simply because said software is open-source. I (mostly) disagree; the proprietary software is often the malware.
I have a hirenths boot cd iso on my one windows pc, it's flagged as malware 4 times a day. And marking it as safe doesn't stop it. Microshit is untrustworthy
Determining if something is or isn’t malicious is an incredibly hard problem, these patchers replace core system components and perform system hooking which looks malicious to AV, as for Hirens boot CD that comes with a bunch of password recovery tool that will sig off antivirus
I recently switched to Linux, another couple of weeks when I feel comfortable with it, I will remove the dual boot and just say goodbye to Windows. How dare they tell me what software I can and cannot install :P
Hope it works out
@MichaelDustter bro, their are literally hundreds of operating systems. I'm sure you can find one that suits your needs.
I have already single-booted, as a transitioner from the Apple macOS though.
Windows should ask you what level of security you are interested in when you install, for example if you choose Maximum security it will block anything it doesn't know is safe. But at least give peopel the choice
That is a very good idea and makes total sense.
well for installations u can already do that, just set the control thingy to maximum and everytime u install u need to enter admin password
Agree
Windows has this feature. It’s called UAC and I don’t understand why UAC isn’t enough for them anymore.
UAC is becoming pointless for Microsoft because they no longer want users to be in control. I am also certain UAC will be overhauled or removed completely. They just can't trust users.
If you prevent people from making mistakes, how can they learn anything from it? Is that not the point by letting people choose?
No Microsoft, you don't tell me what I can and cannot download and use. This is going to push me away, not make me want to use you and your products more.
Its their OS bro
@@danilol9417 Doesn't mean THEY get to choose what I run. Also when they screw it up - as they are headed towards doing (again) - I look to alternatives. I retired recently from a job as a university system admin... We had 48000 users a day. About 15 years ago, it was 98% Windows. About a year ago it was only about 50% windows client systems. This could result in a major shift in things 'computer' for many people.
@@brianjrichman yeah but u agreed to the tos when u installed windows. So legally they get to choose what u run. If u dont like that then switch to linux, because its everyones os
@@danilol9417 When I was still working, we ran VMWare with 800 Red Hat VM/servers and 400 Windows Servers.
Personally, I'd never run Windows on a server, but accountants think its cheaper even if the same software is available on most other platforms. What they do is look to the check they need to cut on day #1, not what'll happen in Year #2. They fail to learn that once the installation grows (they never shrink) the pricing often swings against the low initial "cheap" Windows buy-in price. New hardware allocations are needed and the infrastructure needs upgrading to handle it. I cannot tell you the number of databases that were "trivial" on day 1 and then by day 50, needed a VM/server twice the start up size.
From my previous post, you can see what the client world has done... Apple is the winner here and MS is the loser.
@@danilol9417 NO moron they force th tos up ur ass......and wout we the people there not jack squat
All they need to say is, if you use any of these apps, you are on your own. Sign a waiver and thats it. Apple ain't this aggresive and to be honest, I never thought I'd think that.
Trouble is, as a tech, I remember had bad it was with malware back in the day with Windows, this is not the case for Windows 11. So some good has come out of it.
@@Britec09 I agree, I also worked in the trenches sorting out the computers of the public and I know how stoopid and unresonable they can be. I then moved onto the commercial sector and they ain't no better. Its just we've locked their systems down so they can't break em. 🤣
@@2ToneWalt The only way to protect is to lock it down. I know its not what people want to hear, but this is the way.
@@Britec09 And that's exactly what enables Microsoft to keep a stranglehold over you.
@@Britec09 That's like saying you won't let your children leave the house ever because you want to protect them. The solution isn't what Microsoft is doing.
Step 1 : disable MicroSh*t Defender ( or remove)
Step 2 : don't rush to have the latest updates
Step 3 : curse the new Vista
Step 4 : reinstall Windows 10
Step 5 : open your mind to accept migrating to Linux Mint or Zorin Os.
Thx Brian & Team
Once Linux gets to the level of Windows there the things you hate in windows will eventually be in the dominant Linux distribution
plus it's all open source so you can just pluck what you hate out of it if you want to
Step 5 doesn't work if your core apps either don't run on linux or there is no usable linux alternative. People are quick to say switch from one OS to another one to solve an issue. That isn't always a choice for some people.
Try moving straight over to Ubuntu or a derivative operating system. I have to say that you would most likely be forced to use Ubuntu due to driver compatibility.
@@IdontKnowAtAlllol I do not want to see a dominant Linux distribution. I would like to see codominance of Debian-based and RPM-based Linux distributions.
7-Zip blocked, now that is MESSED UP. Also are they blocking any alternative browser installs, I think they'd be in serious trouble with the EU is they did that, at least for the major ones
The UK isn't in the EU. Remember, some people 🤡 voted to come out.
Microsoft should probably change the name of Windows 11 24H2 to Windows 11 Zero Trust Edition. The idea of an OS with almond Zero Trust is good, but it will frustrate a lot of persons.
Windows Titanic sounds good too.
@@Robert-sl7jo 😄 😂 🤣
Microsoft does not want to throw users off of their platform, but I would like you to switch to an ethical operating system in the world of Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu or derivatives.
It's called S-Mode.
Or is it a case of stopping you doing this so they can then flood you with adverts all over the place?
I think its a good move to protect those who are vulnerable.
@@Britec09 Computers have been around for tens of years. This is not going to protect any more than it did in the past. In fact it's far more dangerous, because people will start to try all sorts of 'solutions' to get things working again. It's going to break the security that is already there.
PC - Personal Computer... Time to sue for false advertising!
I like that, remember, you own your PC, but the OS you don't.
@@Britec09 You also buy the license. So the copy of the OS belongs to.
Ah but that's no longer the case. Open up a random explorer. Back in the day it used to say My PC. Now it says This PC.
@@Britec09 This is why switching to Linux is the only ethical option now!
This channel is a weird mix, sometimes quite critical towards what Microsoft is doing and offering advice on how to bypass those issues. Aaand then we get something like this which I would expect to be found on a channel called something like "the Microsoft Defender".
Anyway for many years there have been a saying that if you install Windows on a computer you no longer own it, mainly because Windows blocks you from accessing parts of the folder structure (unless jumping through a lot of hoops) so if you can't do whatever you want with your computer, thus not having 100% control over it, then you no longer own it. Stuff like this confirms that saying...
It's somewhat ironic that the techniques Microsoft have implemented to "protect" their files from the user have also in several cases been exploited by malware, making it more difficult to detect and remove, remember root-kits? Those can only hide because a Windows user can not obtain root/system access.
Also as a side note: Check the latest stats for Desktop OS usage, seems like W11 have lost ground while W10 have increased market share quite a bit lately.
I really don't get Britec anymore either. He's always been helpful in bypassing Windows BS and in helping to customize a stock Windows system into something that one might actually want to use. For him to now state plainly that this frankly authoritarian behavior on the part of Microsoft is a "good thing" because we can't be trusted with our own personal computers is disturbing to say the least. It sounds like something that a hynotized "citzen" from some dystopian sci fi novel would say while the last remnant of that character's syntho-mesc dribbles down their chin.
Britec made a video on Linux and bascially came to the conclusion of "I like Windows more because I just do" and ended it with that.
I would not go as far to say his channel is all about shilling for Windows, but he does have a clear bias towards Windows despite the ongoing issues with it. He is clearly unhappy with the direction the OS is going, but he is adamant on not switching to something else. Almost like Stockholm Syndrome lol
@@646464mario Basic Windows was a sleek, user-friendly, super-intuitive operating system. There's a reason why it became so popular. And it could have grown into a shining example of what an OS should be. Instead, greed took over almost immediaely and it steadily morphed into nothing but a parasite sucking the blood from its' users. I can see why Britec admires the corpse of what it used to be, but that's all it is at this point. Even though I have to keep a couple of Windows machines plugged in at my place of businees because of my employees familiarity with that evil zombie, at this point I refuse to have it my home.
Interesting. I didn't know this youtuber until recently, but considering what you're saying here I don't think I'll subscribe or follow him.
No, I will NOT stop using the software I WANT on my PC.
1) Disable Windows Defender (DO use a quality 3rd party AV and Firewall)
2) Don't use a MS Browser - there are plenty of alternatives
3) If 1 & 2 fail..... DON'T use MS Products
German government has announced it's switching 30k+ PCs to Linux & LibreOffice!
Let's support and contribute to WINE!
True. But there are some possible drawbacks with 3rd party antivirus apps: memory and CPU usage management.
I would prefer limiting the use of WINE to the minimum extent possible, preferring native Linux software over proprietary sources.
“It’s for your own safety”, mmm where did I hear that before 🤔
The good news is the Start11 will work on 24H2 because Stardock has updated the app to work
Yes, it should work
I use Start 11 but also their Fences program (a kind of desktop organizer), I hope that's not affected as well
That built-in protection is the problem. And you can't turn it off.
This may not be the "year of Linux" but I am certainly gonna call the 2020s the "Decade of Linux" or at least the decade of "The Great Windows Exodus"
There will never be an "I use 24H2 BTW" meme.
this made me want to laugh. Actually, it did make me laugh, hysterically.
there is a IoT Enterprise LTSC version of 24H2 already, which is miles better than normal Windows 11 and fixes almost all the flaws
Your video is not very clear to say if ALL .exe downloads are removed. What exactly is blocked and what isn't? If I can't download the latest video driver installer that is an .exe file from Nvidia because I have a bleeding edge card that may need the latest driver, what good is this?
My question exactly. Does it block .msi installers? Does it recognise and permit software that is digitally signed by the appropriate authority? Is it strong-arming software developers to use the Microsoft Store, thereby taking a cut of any revenue or even forcing a price onto software that is free at present?
@@dingokidneys I am beginning to wonder if this issue is even real
@@professorbrainyspecs7366this video just looks like someone’s turned on group policy settings
Time for yet another lawsuit against microsoft
Well, that sucks balls, big time!!
It does and it don't
Time to switch to Linux.
This aggressiveness is pushing me towards Linux distros. As a gamer, this is beyond irritating.
Say good bye to cr-ack games, music, and movies that don't have the proper data and digital license with it. They will just disappear from people devices.
It looks like the first step from Microsoft in making sure all apps for Windows 11 are approved from Microsoft. Of course Microsoft will will also require a licensing fee from program vendors before their app can be installed. Maleware Bytes, didn't pay the "tribute" to Microsoft so it can't be installed, sorry.
Big Brother is watching you.
like the Apple Store?
What Microsoft forgets is one I pay them it’s my os I will run what ever app I like so Microsoft can just do one and get lost
No. it's NOT your operating system! You are licenced to use it. Read the small print.
Sadly, no, that's not how it works, at all.
They are moving towards an immutable system, When you start or restart the system goes back to the way it was. This is why most APPS are going online or they will have to go online.
The customer is always right, if someone is not happy with something and they have to resort to a 3rd party tool to restore functionality that was previously present but is now removed in the new version then its Microsoft's fault for not even considering the needs of its customers, every version of windows since Vista has thrown more mouse clicks, menus, and tick boxes in the way of users to get the job done and it also sucks more time, under old OS's I didn't even have to touch the mouse half the time it was quick and efficient.
The way for a more secure OS is to reduce its attack surface by not mass installing and running junkware you don't need, want or ever use, it also reduces what needs to be updated too, t
The windows layout is bad too, this is where the UNIX and Linux world has got right from year dot, as they can be easily moved around as and when needed unlike windows... the OS should be just the bare OS and on a separate partition from your Apps and your Data on a separate one to that too, that will make life easy and also quicker to get back up and running after something bad happens - if you do regular backups, as your only restoring the partition(s) that are mangled, windows makes life harder because of the madness of %appdata% dumping crap hidden from the eyes of most users, most users risk everything on a single partition that grows huge in size and can be dificult and time consuming to sort out when it all goes wrong...
How lucky I'm not using windows 11! I have windows 10 and arch linux :)
If you happy, stick with it mate
"I use Arch BTW"
how about easeus, ccleaner and other apps? are they blocked?
That's The Last Straw! I'm getting a Linux Computer. Bye Microsoft
Hopefully System76 serves/is serving you well!
Are you shilling for ms?
I can understand the point of making it idiotproof.
Calling those softwares "VIRUS" is at best a misinformation though.
We're speaking the legit softwares of course, not a bad actor tampered ones.
I can see lawsuits from legitimate software companies over their software intentionally called a virus.
What about installing Firefox on 24H2? Google Chrome has this strange blocklist to prevent you from downloading executables - does Firefox has it as well?
Maybe turning off Defender would help? Or changing Antivirus to something else?
If there's not that much to tell, please keep the video concise, instead of repeating the same thing more than 5 times over.
I think this will lead more people to Linux and hopefully it does. I am considering it. I want the apps/ software on my laptop chosen by me not by Microsoft and any other operating system. On my android tablet/phone it doesn't block or prevent me from using apps that aren't from Google because if it did it would block me from using WhatsApp on my phone and the Microsoft office apps on my tablet.
I guess that Open Shell is out of the question. I truly hate the Win 11 menu.
Have been using open shell since windows 8. Best tool to replace this useless Windows start menu. 👍
i have use 24h2 on a vm and it leting me install stuff
This may actually be a good thing!... for Linux.
😆
This does not occur on my Windows 11 24H2 LTSC stock install at all I can download those programs without and blocking or anything like you show in the video. Defender and Edge browser are both at stock settings. This video is very misleading and is borderline scaremongering. I daily drive Linux but I need Windows for work, I also work in IT. I do not mind these videos being made but please be upfront about your specific setting and if you made any changes to your browser, antivirus or OS install.
I think you missed the part where this is in the next version of Windows 11 that hasn't been released yet.
@@professorbrainyspecs7366 Nope I work in IT, and I have early access to it. I need it for testing before we do our limited roll out to test for conflicts. We do these months in advance for our computer science programs.
I just do not see it in my testing scenarios that we are conducting. I am able to download many of the same programs brought up in this video. We are actively looking for conflicts such as these presented. The only thing I am asking for is to show what is causing these to be blocked i.e. what settings are implemented on his computer that are causing this.
@jokingtiger then you should have been equally as clear that you were using this next version that hasn't been released to the general public. You made it sound like you are using the current publicly released version.
It is interesting that you have a different experience. However, I am fairly certain that Britec09 is also using the stock install of this pre-released version of Win11.
@@jokingtigermaybe do your own rebuttal video?
I think they are trying to go the way of Apple, having to go through their MS Store for anything you want to install and grab a commission.
I think you're right. This is a revenue stream where they haven't yet "maximised their potential." Definitely a feature where the "Product Champion" is from marketing.
@@dingokidneys I believe in systems that are not locked in to any ecosystem and also in systems that are completely unable to boot walled garden and proprietary operating systems at all.
I am still with Windows 7 Pro, and I have no wish to get a new system, it does all I want to do. I don't know if there is any kind of bad things going on, but it works fine for me.
And the Supermium Browser will definitely help you stay on 7 for few more years
I am glad that i stayed on Windows 10
Same. I was about to move to W11 after I heard Microsoft was going to end support for W10. But after this, I'd rather stay this way despite the lack of updates.
@@Emmanuel_Rocha Get Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2022 for support until 2032
@@Emmanuel_Rocha I am even migrating from Apple macOS and still believe Linux is the only path forward.
Blocking alternative browsers is outright dumb. They're forcing you to use Edge in the most outrageous way ever.
Valve was worried about this blocking exe files. Locking down Windows so you can only use the Microsoft store. There is already a version of windows 10/11 that does this, Windows 10/11 S that was later turned into Windows S Mode, it does pretty much the same thing. So what Microsoft is now doing in NOT new at all, what's actually new it that Microsoft will potentially be enforcing a version of Windows S Mode on all windows 11 post 24H2. Which is disturbing.
So you can't download any .exe files, not just programs that let you tweak Windows? Everything through the Microsoft store. How about installing programs through winget?
Just give Microsoft the 🖕 and call it a day.
KDE is customizable and doesn't require third party apps to stay out of your way.
Blocking exe files is going too far. Considering most windows updates are exe files themselves.
Couldn't they add an option in the developer menu to disable this "protection? Please make a video on work-arounds to get around these restrictions.
Glad your pointing this out because i noticed yesterday when I downloaded the
win11 version 24h2 pre release , msmg toolkit was unsuccessful in even
loading the iso properly . tiny 11 builder did load the iso , but I think
it was unsuccessful in stripping out some components.
Looks like Microsoft is using countermeasures in their newest iso
versions.
Going to push a lot of folks to Mac or Linux, big brother springs to mind.
Better advice yet - stop using Windows!
They just want security for their telemetry, thats it!💰💰💰
It is a business after all, Linux would go the same way if it was popular
@@Britec09 Linux is not run by a company though... it's completely FOSS and everything can be seen by anyone. I believe Ubuntu already has some telemetry but the solution to that is to simply switch to another distro or simply modify it after install. Many distros are maintained entirely by the community and not a central corporate entity. I like Fedora because it does not contain a single piece of proprietary software on a clean install... everything is open. With Linux, you truly do OWN your OS and that is why people like it.
When you turn off telemetry in Linux, you can verify it. When you turn it off in Windows, you just assume it is not collecting anything. I still believe MS is collecting plenty of data from Windows despite me taking multiple steps to suppress it.
@Britec09 Linux IS popular, is NOT commercial software and DOESN'T NEED this crap.
@@rawmaterials3909 I am 90% convinced that Linux is only not as popular as the other options simply because major PC manufacturers do not ship with it.
Think about it.... if your average Joe bought a new laptop for basic functionality and it included something like Ubuntu GNOME pre-installed, he really would not have usability issues at all at this point.
yes Running wireshark shows how bad it has become, and now saving screen shots and encrypting drives makes your machine a liability rather than a productive environment
Buy a PC without an OS then you can decide what OS you want to install be it Windows or Linux. Linux runs on machines that won't run the latest Microscam OS be it Windows 7 or Windows 10. Some Manufacturers sell custom or pre-built systems without an OS, some examples are Pallicomp, Xenta and PC specialist, all sell PC's without an OS.
Anyone familiar with Revo uninstaller? I am new to it but from what I understand, it helps to remove all those leftovers the Windows uninstalling software leaves behind. If some of those leftovers were causing problems previously, reinstalling the software won't help. What solution does MS have for this when it blocks any useful software that could fix its shortcomings?
besides, Revo helped me to uninstall a lot of bloatware from Win10. Why am I held a hostage by MS having software in my PC I don't need, use or want?
@MichaelDustter Worse, the OS is not the product... *we* are.
I feel like Microsoft is also trying to be like Apple and making a new standard of what your Computer should be like either you like it or not. Yeah I'm going to be dual booting Linux later this summer.
Hopefully you can single-boot and remove Windows altogether.
With the way things are going I see the following, people are going to find a way to slim down and optimize windows 10 plus find better antivirus and anti malware software to ride out windows 10 past its end of life date (similar to windows 7) until a better windows version comes out. And even until then most people or at least the extra secure ones will just dual drive boot and keep a small partition or smaller drive for the optimized windows version they decide to keep.
Welp, linux isn't perfect either but every time I see a video like this it reminds me why I started daily driving linux 2 years ago. I don't care what MS thinks they're doing for the greater good. This is way... WAY over the line.
Spotlight is broken, Bluetooth is broken, realtek driver is broken
7:26, People not quite skilled put's the likes of you and many others out of a job. 8:25 protectint the user more like controlling the user
The first thing I do with a new Windows PC is download revo uninstaller and delete all the bloatware from the system. The more that Windows blocks software that is legitimate the more they are asking users to switch to Linux. I replaced my 2nd Windows PC that I use on a night to watch tubi TV with Ubuntu on a new desktop it even allows me to run my VPN on the browser of choice, as I deleted Firefox for Brave browser.
Microsoft's implementation of this security increase just ain't right. If there was a way to bypass these strong armed protections or opt-in, it would have been better for everyone. Those that want the security can stay opted in while those that would like to customize their OS and are more experienced won't be prevented by their own PC...
Don't know about you Brian but for me 24H2 (preview version) still has quite a lot of bugs in it, so much so I had to go back to 23H2.
I am still using 22H2, but this is because I have a unsupported PC, and don't feel like reformating and might as well jump straight to IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 once 11 22H2 support expires in few months
We're seeing the latest editions of Windows before users start migrating en masse to better driver systems
Windows is a virus itself, imagine that, a virus trying to protect itself from a virus LOL!
Actually thought this was a sarcasm or troll video about customisation. I thought smartscreen was the cause to automatically block unknown or unsigned applications. Microsoft forcing people to drop windows for Linux and more piracy to inflate the market share when 90% of the people are fed up with windows 11
The main problem lies in that there is no "this was a false flag, let me use it anyway" option. protection software is not full proof. Not only from things slipping by, but also by it catching things it shouldn't. There should always be an option to do something even with an alert going off.
I think the only thing we're going to see from tightening security to the point where it's strangling wanted changes/features, is MORE people trying to bypass it. And when good natured people find a way around a security feature, then the malicious people will use the same tactic to infect you. Congrats Microsoft you just increased the research team for malware 10 fold.
Winaro tweaker and openshell are still working for me at the moment, windows 11 pro 23H2. When they get blocked going to Linux.
Didn't you have a video showing how to use them? 😂 still love your videos though. Please always keep making them!
Not all of them
Stop it with the security. Windows is rolling out rar and 7zip functionality. They are making sure people can only run what they allow on their pc.
seems they are trying to be mac in that regard (walled garden)!
Time to move to Ubuntu.
ubuntu is notebook friendly. If you are convenient with android, iPad or Mac, then Ubuntu with its default Gnome should serve you well
@@ТоварищКамрадовСоциалистКоммун I prefer Mx Linux because Ubuntu can be sort of tricky to configure. To each his own. But just about any flavor of Linux is preferable to Windows at this point.
@@josiahbirthright24 yep, mx linux or linux mint are really noob friendly. great distros
Any distro is good. If you can handle and can understand the command line, then Alpine Linux would be preferred on the most basic system configurations. But yes, Ubuntu is ideal for environments with >4GB system memory even with the GNOME Shell.
Fat dislike to the video! Labeling something as virus, that is not, smells like another lawsuit for Microsoft. And you are just advertising these unfair practices.
Well how can we install applications then? Since all of them are in .EXE installers
THIS is an excellent question, which the answer to was not clear in the video.
Probably want to push everyone onto their storefront
@@StephenC050 yeah. but ms store is quite shunned..
What if you install a different antivirus (which should disable Defender)?
Can we not avoid updating the feature update 24 H2
I believe when the realise that people will move to open source then they will learn. PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER NOT COMPANIES. I HAVE MADE THAT MOVE to open source and I realise why I did not make the move sooner.
Apparently Microsoft does not like us at all 😢 I also have a gut feeling that GitHub & probably Visual Studio including Code is retiring as well too. 😢
We need GitHub and Visual Studio + Code. Without these platforms open-source software would begin to violate various licenses, and the package repositories will decrease sharply in size.
Is 24h2 now avaliable for everyone or not yet?
This is being done because of Ai and its rapid development... I doubt this is permanent, they're doing it to protect us from what I'm aware if, not to upset people downloading stuff.
Windows Server 2025 also has boot problems before starts setup exe
If only Microsoft hired better ux designers and optimize w11 better we probably wouldn't need to use customization apps😅
I'll make my own OS, with blackjack and hookers!! ~~ Bender, possibly.
You can at least and within the caveats of desktop environments of Linux.
Yeah, I knew that I dodged a bullet when I migrated to Linux on my desktop, I just have to do that on my laptop too, unfortunately there's some apps that are rather difficult to make them work in Wine.
The one thing that Microsof should fix is "Recommended" in the start menu. This is a list of programs and documents you used recently. It's not "Recommended". It's allowing people to see the file extensions of personal data that is even on other drives not in the system. This needs to be removed from the start menu.
you appear to be excusing MS's behavior.
probably Satya himself pays him to do that (jk)
when i heard they were doing this i turned off windows update. hopefully the tweakers figure out how to get around this and let us tweak it the way we want
you need to enable testing mode on in order to run and use test apps and honestly those are gray apps
Since this statement is being made, "Microsoft is clamping down on what applications you can download and install on Windows 11 24H2" and now they are releasing new computers with this 24H2 version. Is Microsoft providing some kind of information or list of applications that are acceptable for download? Is there a way to bypass this restriction? They are taking the word "personal" out of the words personal computer (pc).
The Chris Titus tech tool doesn’t work great on 24h2 either. Just wanna be able to uninstall edge like everyone in the uk 😢
Did you check if " Launching applications and Unsafe Files " is Disabled under internet security settings? Setting it to "Disable" blocks any exe files from being downloaded
Well, what if I need to install an .exe that isn't recognized? You can explain to me all you want that it benefits the majority, but all I'm interested in is how I get around it. Don't tell me it's not designed to be gotten around and that my only option is to either run obsolete garbage or do without the application, there's always a way around and I want to know what it is this time. I need a supported version of Windows that will get security updates past 2025, Linux isn't going to work for me, and I need to run Windows applications that are not approved or signed.
Great video Brian! I am curious, will it act the same way in safe mode? This new version of win 11 reminds me of win S mode..
i think that a windows 11 enterprise license will work with windows 11 ltsc as long as it is a retail key
If no graphics drivers are compatible with Windows 11 24H2 then no one can install Windows 11 24H2.
They just want windows to look crap.
My work laptop was recently upgraded to Win 11, I'm not enjoying it so far. The fact that I cannot move the task bar to the top of the screen so it's out of the way annoys me and the fact that the icons on it a large and there is no way to make them small. Ideally I would prefer no themes and just a classic Win9x feel. I'm not using this computer because I want it to look good and feel modern. It's too modern. It's like they have inadvertently copied from the latest version of macOS. I won't be installing Win 11 on my personal equipment - it's terrible.
Britec has been bought out by microsh$t. To say this is a good thing is just plain stupid
If only Linux could sort anti-cheat, we'd all be gone.
Just play other games lol are you a child.
Give it some time. Of course, the more we migrate, the faster the developers will get there.
It is likely that their detection systems are still flawed, they just have to sort out which tools are not harmful to be considered as false positives.
Easy solution: switch to Linux.
Pretty much I came to that conclusion with how Microsoft is acting
How would you install drivers?
Ok, so let’s all put our heads together and figure out how to give Microsoft the biggest middle finger along with the message “BACK THE FUCK OFF THESE ARE OUR SYSTEMS AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO AS WE SEE FIT WITH OUR SYSTEMS!” by finding a way to hack-n-crack around their omnipotent overlord activity!
Is this update out or is it in beta ? At first when you said "it blocks startallback", I was like "yeah maybe they are forcing to use the windows start menu". But then blocking every exe, including things like 7zip or sysinternals, it looks like they are experimenting stuff that will likely not be in the final product or that will be rollback. i don't see windows running without exe files.
Surely Microsoft could make exceptions for the programmes that are safe ?
