Got to laugh at the way @Google Gemini starts its replies with "Just a sec" and then proceeds to take 10+ seconds to answer even the simplest of questions whereas Gr0k is almost instant. As I used to tell my support staff, use the term "moment" as it is deliciously unspecific 😂

That script went well 😂 Same crash/failure from powershell.exe and pwsh.exe but strangely enough sending ctrl c to ffmpeg, so it exits cleanly, works ok from ISE although ISE exits. Switching to C++

This kind of thing doesn't help our country when we claim to have free (non hate) speech although justice and common sense thankfully finally prevailed. 6 police officers - is this the very definition of "heavy handed" ? Embarrassing!! https://t.co/p13IQEJ42L

I thought copilot was supposed to help, not hinder or is it scared the computer may never be started up again so it will effectively be dead?😄

I took the plunge and updated to 25H2 and one of my old problems is back - a missing icon in the taskbar. Only 1 so far - Claude which I rarely use anyway. Launched it and as if by magic, the icon appeared.

Anyone seen robocopy copy a file because it claims it is newer but the files actually have the same timestamp (same timezone too) and they have the same file hash (I know robocopy won't compare them)? Could slow a file restore from multiple snapshots considerably so writing a

Process auditing FTW! Note that exit code -1073741510 is not a crash in that it is a ctrl c like exit via interruption and how the child processes of terminal are terminated because their parent has died (exit codes via Microsoft Error Code tool) https://t.co/RqBtJNQaWb

When will I learn not to trust Windows Terminal to host critical processes? It's too fancy for its own good & therefore flaky. Was running a robocopy to recover some data but when I came back to it the Terminal instance & the 3 pwsh instances in it had vanished. Process auditing

EUC folks with non-persistent desktops but using something like #FSlogix have you found a way to stop @OneDrive from taking ages (>50 of your Earth minutes) to drop the (dehydrated) place holders into a new profile? Our sessions are generally <1 hour so cutting it fine + what if

PS if you want to have data across multiple days and it's a high volume event/log, make sure the event log is big enough.

I'm seeing some corruption on a local Windows Server 2025 NTFS volume in @googlecloud , first surfaced by a PowerShell script operating on files & confirmed by procmon but there appear to be no corresponding windows events written which is surprising/annoying to me
