Why did you replace the battery if it is only ever used on mains?

cheers, Paul

While the battery was still charging to 100% when opening the laptop in order to add RAM the service noticed that the battery was bulging and not safe to use.
The service removed the battery and I needed a new one in case of winter power cuts.

I believe that it’s because at times I would leave it plugged in for 3 or more hours at a time

My 4+ years Lenovo laptop is 24/7/365 plugged to power. Never shut down or disconnected.
Replaced battery a couple of months ago. Bought compatible battery (https://www.ibuybattery.com/laptop-battery.htm) as Lenovo doesn’t manufacture them any more.

Its a preview. Check settings.

“Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the problem, but we expect it to be fixed in a future cumulative update.”

The ad should be removed not “fixed”

Is there a way to check

Open Windows update.
You will see ‘Some settings are managed…’ and ‘View configured update policies’. Click on that and you will get a list GPEdit changes you set.

A Microsoft source, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed that this move isn’t intentional and is a bug.

I thought that the full screen ad was a bug.

I am sure is has been done intently just like the ‘X’ on Windows 10 from Windows 7 upgrade.

The first one was a message, something to the effect, plug in to power. Even though I had 50% battery remaining

Apple require at least 50% of battery and devices connected to power with any device updates.

I read here not to use GRC In Control when using Winshowhide

You don’t need InControl on Windows Pro. Just set TRV in GPEdit.

Try fixing the GPEdit problem by running DISM Check health , DISM Restore health and SFC Scannow.

As others have said in that reddit thread, I think that’s an OEM bug not a Microsoft bug.

Not sure.

No one guarantees that the data is encrypted from the VPN servers to the destination and back.

I haven’t found anything I can’t do with Tiny11.

You must know that the big cut in OS storage space was due to the removal of winsxs (mine is 9.8GB in size) which will disable Windows from restoring drivers, dll files…But is part of the “price” to pay 🙂
