This latest update is actually *adding* more net bugs on top of the
previous revision of the OS.

Have we gone beyond the Brooks threshold, and now entered a Kessler

creating about one new bug for every one fixed, the ?fixes? are

quality?

 
This is nothing new, public beta testing, just run 23H2 or better yet,
upgrade to Linux.

 
"The latest issue centers around the Windows 11 24H2 preview update"
 
Yeah, we don't install those. Those are voluntary, in that you click
that if you think there is something in that update for you.
 
It will appear again on Patch Tuesday, which would be the 11th of February.

  Please don't spoil Lawrence's rants with facts and common sense!

  I've yet to see a Windows critcism from him which is *not* bogus.

  Strange that he apparently feels so insecure about Linux, that he
'needs' to attack Windows for no good reason.

  We Windows users don't feel the need to do the opposite, mainly
because, as they say, "Windows isn't a religion.".

  Why he just can't be happy with what he has, is beyond me.

A valuable place to gather intelligence, is the Reliability Monitor,
which keeps certain kinds of failures in a chart form. Nobody seems to
have bothered in that article, to check for messages in there.
 
That's an alternative to looking in EventVwr.msc .
 
TO get there, open Settings and type "Relia" into the top search bar.

  There you go again, being sensible! What's wrong with some nice FUD,
urban legends, innuendo, fear mongering, etc.!?

  But excuse me, I've got to rush. Got to install a Windows system and
as Lawrence says that "needs to reboot about five times", I need to get
cracking.
