Windows 11

[John Z]

Hi all,

Here is a revised procedure to block (hopefully) WIN 11 24H2 update.
It can be applied and then removed later to get the update when desired and
hopefully with all fixes in place.

I have done it - does it block the update ? unknown at this point.

Well darn - the pdf is 1.6Megs - can't upload - but here is the crux of the matter:

from: https://www.wintips.org/how-to-block-windows-11-24h2-update-on-personal-pcs/

Code: [Select]

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. In command prompt windows, issue the following three (3) commands in order (press Enter after each command):

• reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /f /v TargetReleaseVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 1

• reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /f /v TargetReleaseVersionInfo /t REG_SZ /d 23H2

• reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /f /v ProductVersion /t REG_SZ /d "Windows 11"

I've run for about 6 days now and no task bar circle with blue dot has shown back up asking to "update or hide for now".  No nagging to update.  Looking good.

That is good news and hope for many, but there are numerous issues affecting many features.

When CPUs are verified for possible optimizations, can be seen, if errors depends of them.
Is same kernel for intel and AMD ?

If someone knows the answer I should be very interested. I think it is different because a kernel tells with very deep level of cpu and the processors don't have the same number of registers AMD has not exactly the same architecture than Intel, Cyrix, Via, ARM...

[TimoVJL]

Only AMD and Intel CPUs are important to Windows server systems, not other CPUs.

Now i want to know, is pocc.exe problems similar for both CPUs.

I send you the CPU-Z file for my Lucienne

Thanks.
So pocc.exe problem exist with AMD Ryzen 7
