I’m guessing you just mean in the US

Chrome is my default browser. But I use Edge if I’m doing someone on Microsoft’s site and Firefox when I’m looking at stuff for coding (VB,POSH,Javascript) and managing my Router, NAS

So far, I’ve tracked the issue to one of the following packages.

Although the error is different, it seems that one of these changes the way the netplan scripts work or something they use.

That is not how a NVME is normally mounted. It shouldn’t be overhanging the system board like that. It appears that it was a afterthought when the board was designed. I personally wouldn’t trust / use a NVME mounted that way.

Whats the bets Adobe will release a new version of Flash at some point in Q1 2021 due to a major security hole (remember Microsoft have also released updates for EOL products)

I’ve had some free time and updated the previous POSH code (it had errors).

Do you have any experience using it?

Thanks!

Not with SendGrid’s API, but I have done some work with Tumblr and Twitter’s APIs within POSH scripts.

Attached is rough bit of code that might work from within a POSH script

Have you tried using the API to send the newsletter as I believe it has a option for html raw code

In my years (20+) of doing IT support on Windows, I have seen this issue countless times. And each time it was caused by one of two things. The first reason is the user profile service had a “moment” at logon and couldn’t access the correct profile. With a hard reset (power off / power on) the issue cleared. The second reason is no free space on the the system volume. This prevents the logon process to create the temporary files it needs to load the profile correctly and thus it shows a temp profile instead.

Far as I know, I don’t think the original notification in 2017 was discussed.

https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/12/disabling-vbscript-execution-in-internet-explorer-11/#jOpv41Lt4oGkSAy7.97

I only found 1 post that referred to KB4012494

https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/patch-tuesday-patches-are-up/#post-107604

IMO, its part of Microsoft’s plan to get rid of VBScript completely from Windows as I think they see it as a obsolete script language. They want you to use POSH. Also I suspect its linked to Edge changing to Chromium.

Hi, I’m willing to be a test dummy as well if it helps.

Rgds, Zeus

I was on 1703 and took the leap to 1803.

I did my secondary pc first (Intel i5 4440, Gigabyte H97N-WIFI) and run through all the tasks I do on it. after 2 weeks I found two issues.

• VLC lossing the audio settings. Once I reset them, VLC worked with no further issues.
• Configuration of 1 of my backup scheduled tasks was corrupted. For that I had to re-create it.

When I upgraded my main pc (Ryzen 1700, ASRock AB350M Pro4), I had a few issues. These were: –

• VLC lossing the audio settings. Once I reset them, VLC worked with no further issues
• 1 Hyper-VM lossing vDisk config. Once config reset, VM worked with no issues.
• 1 application lost its HKCR entries. Once recreated, application worked correctly
• WinRM host settings were lost and I had to reconfig it.

I did the upgrade 90 days ago and no further issues have been encountered.

It would be nice if we could tie Windows updates to the MS-Defcon level. Whenever it goes to 3, 4, or 5, backups would kick off; and they would be blocked for 1 and 2. Oh well, I can dream…

mmm, thats a idea…..

On both of my Win10 1703 pc’s (AMD Ryzen 1700 on ASRock AD350M & i5 4440 on Gigabyte H97N-WIFI) I’m not being offered the 2018-08 updates.

However, on my Win8.1 Pro Hyper-V VM (host is Win10 1703) the 2018-08 updates have been installed with no issues (so far).

Well done Woody. Pre-ordered 🙂
