      If you have any difficulties connecting the plugs to your network or controlling with Alexa switch your phone to the 2.4Ghz band. I’m pretty sure that any installation instructions with the plugs will tell you that everything involved with the plugs needs to be on the 2.4Ghz band.

      Sysinternals Suite 2023.01.25

      Download : https://download.sysinternals.com/files/SysinternalsSuite.zip

      RDCMan v2.92

      This update to RDCMan, a tool for managing and connecting to Remote Desktop sessions, fixes a naming error impeding plugin operation, updates the icon set, and fixes mstscax.dll load on some systems where initialization would previously fail.

      Sysmon v14.14

      This update to Sysmon, an advanced host monitoring tool, fixes a timeout occurring with FileDelete and FileDeleteDetected events on low-speed media.

      ZoomIt v6.12

      This update to ZoomIt, a screen magnification and annotation tool, eliminates drawing artifacts occurring when changing magnification, changing pen width, or combining these steps, and improves drawing settings persistence.

      There are some who do not like the dated interface of the free alternatives.

      Also, IF you pay for online storage you may be better off paying for Microsoft 365 as you get 1TB per user included in your subscription on top of the software you get. So, for the family edition you get up to 5 users for approximately $100 USD per year.

      Oops. Sorry, I forgot it was Windows 10 when I composed my reply. Nevertheless, you should check to make sure all your drivers are Windows 10 compatible. Sometimes, a driver may install but turn out to have issues with a particular Windows release. If one of your drivers has been updated very recently perhaps you need to revert to a prior version.

      The stop code 0x000000d1 is a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. Check that all your drivers are up-to-date and Windows 11 compatible.

      If you actually have a Windows 11 insider build installed and are outside of the window to revert, you must do a clean install to go back to a prior version.

      AFAIK, an insider preview build is never installed until you opt-in to the insider program.

      Also, if the PC is registered in the insider program you must leave the insider program. Otherwise, you will continue to get insider builds.

      Accidentally checking for updates in Windows Update.

      An incorrect system date and time.

      December 25, 2022 at 3:11 pm in reply to: So did you buy a new computer or laptop this season? #2511561

      I bought a 14-inch Lenovo T480 for my wife to use as a picture frame. It was the least expensive Windows PC I could find running Windows 11. I don’t need performance only to run the slideshow screensaver to randomly go through the tens of thousands of pictures she has saved. It will be taken to our place in Florida so we don’t need to duplicate and transport memorabilia.

      Have you read Topic: 6000002 Guide to using WUMGR for Windows 10 updates @ AskWoody? That is a pretty thorough explanation.
