Bork Tuesday, Any Problems Yet?

Thanks Jack. My laptop is OK today but I am going to use a different AV now.

Yep. My PC is actually noticeably faster with the 3rd party product I just installed so I won't be going back. For everyone that ever said they weren't concerned with false positives.. it's time to change your mind.

 

mostly enterprise as they have policies deployed with ASR, and would of caused support teams absolute mayhem across hundreds of thousands of endpoints!

for the average home user there would be no impact as they wouldn't know what or how to enable ASR

it would affect home user tweakers and security conscious people (myself included) who use configure defender or defenderUI and have enabled the ASR rules (but in reality these people would also know how to perform regular backups and how to easily restore .lnk files)

so your average Joe running a stock defender would of had zero impact

 

Incorrect, I have 2 PCs (minimum) that have been affected.

 

they were affected without having the ASR rules enabled?

 

Correct.

 

must be different issue you had than the rest of the internet is discussing (ref the broken ASR rule)

can you show what your protection history reported for the files it deleted and what the rule was?
e.g https://ibb.co/YNtJVwH

 

What you say makes sense but I can't validate it at this point as backups have been restored.

 

What do people on this forum do to “clean” their PC after an update?

In the past the built-in disk clean tool offered several GB to clean, but lately it’s only a few MB.

My C: drive was around 30 GB for quite some time, but it has grown to 50 GB and my SSD is only 60 GB…

 

In my case non-Enterprise (Pro), only Hard Configurator installed with default settings, no tweaks.

No, “disk cleanup” from search box:

I run Disk Cleanup as Administrator. I delete the contents of the Software Distribution/ Downloads and LCU folders also (which you're not really supposed to do but anyway).

Sorry--edited to add a word

 

The Win10 Preview's installed without issue.

Thanks @anon for the heads up!

 

Yes, here also, the optional update installed just fine, along with a .NET preview update.

New winver for Windows 10--19045.2546.

 

Hmm, I get a blank white page. Same thing for Windows 11 download.

 

Same here. I am still unclear as to whether or not they were pulling all of the downloads for 10. I'm pretty sure you can't purchase it anymore.

 

Not sure if this includes ISO downloads or not but definitely things change today in some way.
Windows 10 users needn't fear ISO-lation as downloads end • The Register

 

Hi Jack,

I thought you could buy a Win 10 licence until the end of this month. Am I now wrong?
(in my country it is 31 January 2023 )

 

Well, that is today. They are probably updating the sites to reflect the changes. Maybe a few hours early but it would explain the situation.
