I really hope that the enablement method just happens to be obscure and that the release notes aren't lying.. again. The "next few flights" will tell.

I'm tempted to believe that dark mode Run is not implemented in 26x20.6780. After spending a while checking there doesn't seem to be any feature that enables it, it's also a bit suspicious that they felt the need to edit the blog post to explicitly say the rollout is "very slow".

@itanium_guy @nixcraft It doesn’t. This whole thing feels disingenuous because it’s magically a Home exclusive struggle. Either Pro is somehow fine with being “not fully configured for use” or the PR pieces are being dishonest. Home does still support MSA-less setup if you meet the right conditions. 🙃

@davepl1968 Mostly right but, as usually, the story gets a lot of dates backwards. For example, WoW64 came with Itanium - not AMD64. All the arguments about WoW64's advantages were already there before AMD64 was a thing.

So much for administrator protection rolling out with KB5065789, it is back to being dependent on UxAccOptimization again in .6725 (the retail update) so isn't rolling out, despite what the release notes say.

Samsung continues to throw curveballs by making the viewfinder look like hot garbage but the taken photo then looks great. .. isn't it usually the other way around?

Silent Hill f on PC has major crashing problems on GeForce 5090s. You may have read that to "fix" it you need to reinstall your GPU driver ... every time the game crashes. Or reboot your PC. Kinda sucks. I found another solution that's much easier and way faster ...

Elon's pathetic attempts at befriending Trump by overcommitting to every despicable rhetoric under the sun absolutely obliterated everything I enjoyed about Twitter. It's too late to walk it back now, and no replacement will ever hold a candle to the momentum Twitter once had.

I think I'm finally reaching my tipping point where I move off Twitter for good because the things I read here make me angry 99% of the time. 🇺🇸 news make it a hellscape, then there's all the ragebait on top. I'm sad because I wouldn't be where I am now without people I met here.

I'd love to see how OPPO achieved this, bet a lot of people will be peeking into the code once a device/update with such capabilities releases. It'll almost certainly be an unwinnable cat & mouse game like iMessage but I applaud the effort.

I still like working with Windows because of how versatile and feature rich it is but god the code that makes it in these days can be so piss poor that staying optimistic is practically impossible.

They also somehow reintroduced the bug which happened in Insider builds years ago where Task Manager columns get misremembered and everything past a certain point is off by 1. These are supposed to be Active Private WS, Command Line, Architecture, and Description respectively.

Maybe Microsoft should enforce having the desktop watermark on while developing updates for production Windows 11 versions because what is this travesty brought in by the latest CU? The gap wasn't there earlier. You can see that it genuinely cuts off actual desktop space.

How are we getting ComCtlV7 in this year and age?? I mean, I’m all in for investing into the actual base layer of Windows UI but this seems like a stark difference from “We only care about XAML surfaces” a couple years back
