Thank you for your post!

In my case upgrading to 24H2 was a disaster, no internet. The problem was that none of the suggestions worked for me, the services were already correct.

I disabled the DNS Cache service when I installed Windows 11 22H2 Home in 2023 and thought recently that enabling it might solve the problem. I feel confident that this is it, but I will still wait to upgrade.

That is the problem, none of those issues existed on 24H2 in my case. I have a clean basic system so there is nothing for me to do, like try uninstalling whatever. On the third upgrade cycle I checked everything and they were all set right, the same as they were on 23H2, and that is why I am stumped and worried. My main desire was to make noise about this issue, because it is major and the fixes don’t work for me. I am not going to let it get me down, I am going to enjoy Christmas and wait for this issue to get resolved.

Windows 11 Home, wired ethernet. Custom built tower PC. No problems at all for 2 years until 24H2. I didn’t think of checking the Event Logs. I have installed StartAllBack, that’s it, no VPN or Bitlocker. I have never had a problem with the internet before, XP, Vista, 7, 10, it always just works. I’m back on 23H2 now so the internet problem is over, it is only there on 24H2. I think it has something to do with tightening security in Windows that 24H2 does. Thank you for trying to help.

I did it 3 times. Upgrade, roll back, upgrade again with new info, roll back, upgrade again with a week of gathered intel and roll back. Maybe the event logs are still there?

Update, this is the only relevant error I could find:
Event ID: 10142
Source: Windows Remote Management
The WinRM service cannot migrate the listener with Address * and Transport HTTP. A listener that has the same Address and Transport configuration already exists.

I think this is exactly what you are looking for. I use WinSetView to set my folder views now. It took me a bit of study to learn how to use it.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn’t list the things I’d tried because I did them all. Reset modem, restarted, checked registry settings, changed dns settings. I even checked the ASUS site for new drivers but I have all of the new “important” ones from December 2024 installed already. I also sent a post in Feedback Hub for the very first time. There is nothing wrong on my end, 23H2 works fine. I need Microsoft to fix this. I am genuinely worried about the future of Windows.

 

I found this website by accident recently and thought I’d let you know.

My mistake.

When I installed Windows 11 I used my hotmail address, but said no to the rest, and was never asked to enter my user name.

When the desktop appeared my user name was t****, taken from my email address (***) not Troy as I would have set it.

I don’t think I can change it now, can I?

Moderator Edit: to remove personal information. Posting your email address is against security rules.

I keep my logins in a text file to copy and paste because long complex passwords are too difficult for me to enter manually. I keep the file on 2 encrypted flash drives that I insert when needed and eject when done, (the second is a backup copy). Is this a good practice?

The Event Viewer lists 3 errors, Event ID 4502, on each of these WU dates:
2023-11-15
2023-12-13
2024-01-09

And says this:
Starting Windows Recovery Environment servicing.
Windows Recovery Environment servicing failed.

This error happened to me on my newly built Windows 11 PC (April 2023).

After this story first broke I checked Event Viewer and found “WinREAgent” eventid 4502

I spent many hours over several days trying to make sense of this mess.

There were files on the root of the Windows partition (C:) for the Recovery update, I don’t have the names because I deleted them after rebuilding the Recovery Partition, but copied the file “update.wim” to C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

The partition was 650 MB.

I disabled it: reagentc /disable

then resized it to 1 GB

then used diskpart with help from here: https://christitus.com/reagentc-windows-recovery-partition/

then re-enabled it: reagentc /enable

Now the Recovery Partition is updated and ready for future Windows updates.

Hello Mat,

The Sound Recorder in pre-Vista systems is limited to 60 seconds.
There is a workaround to increase the length in 60 second increments:

See:

Try the free, small and portable Wavosaur:

Hello raydiek,

I’ve been using CheckDisk GUI,
“CheckDiskGUI is an Graphical User Interface for the commandline version of chkdsk.exe”
http://www.wieldraaijer.nl/

It shows the same output as seen in the Event Viewer in its own display window.

This is the tweak to open unknown files with Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellopen]
@=”Open With Notepad”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellopencommand]
@=”C:\Windows\notepad.exe %1″

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.]
“Application”=”Notepad”

To remove the tweak, delete these keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellopen]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.]

I slipstreamed my Dell OEM CD in 2006 using autostreamer.
It was fast and easy, and worked perfectly.
Good luck!
