Microsoft Windows 10 thread

Why wouldn’t an integrity check detect a mangled system dll?

It’s from UX Styles install, which Win 10 users use to run the Aero theme from Win 7.

I see it as Microsoft punishing users for using OS changing 3rd party apps
There is a plethora of apps and mods for people to customize your Windows 10 OS, with most of them ether gets uninstalled with a major Win update or now breaks your OS.

Microsoft will claim it’s your own fault for using 3rd party software than changes around “their property”.

It’s open source. You can go see what they’re doing if you actually care. They do a run-time search for bytes and then stomp a pattern that they’re looking for. That search is broken and so it stomps a string comparison function instead of what they’re actually trying to patch.

But please don’t let me get in the way of your conspiracy theories. :rolleyes:

It’s a run-time change. You’re thinking in terms of binaries when that’s not the concern. The right people are on top of this.

That Microsoft always been anti-consumer and Anti-competitive?
That isn’t a conspiracy theory, it is established from watching their activities for years, decades even.

And with the current trend of how corporations deal with their own Software and how their EULA is worded, you don’t own your Software they do.

Your helpful rant has nothing to do with the technical claims you made. “third party writes broken patching code.” MICRO$OT IS DA DEBBIL. :rolleyes:

I going to respond to that with a post already made in this thread and page

Microsoft is well aware of what going on yet they set up their updater to break the OS when a 3rd part alters the behavior of a DLL file.

Still waiting for Preppy to address my post.

Preppy still did not explain how patching in a non-3rd party mode where an integrity check shows no changes would cause this.

I think you did not understand the entirety of my post or missed the second part. If you would have read the second part you would have known that it would not get a chance to run since you wouldn’t have any 3rd party software loaded.

Of course they are, Microsoft and its employees are making a fortune selling people’s data, who cares what the customers think.

Wonder what will happen if a foreign entity hacks into Microsoft’s data and leaks everyone’s information.

Microsoft is creating a dangerous data bubble.

The Microsoft updater doesn’t break. You’re being a moron. They patch process memory. Their patching process is broken. They talk about it briefly here

  • https://github.com/riverar/uxstyle/issues/37
    Their search function was written against older code. When you recompile, code bytes can and do change. Since the code bytes they are hard-codedly searching for are not the same, things blow up.

This isn’t rocket science. I get that you don’t understand this area, but c’mon: you can’t be this stupid. :lol:

Not sure where you’re getting this “non-3rd party mode” from. That’s like saying if there’s no water in the world you can’t drown. Great point, but useless. Drivers alone render that train of discussion inane.

Nobody cares. I for one quite enjoy 3rd party software.

So because there exists a class of software x, Microsoft shouldn’t make an attempt to prevent a class of software y from interfering with patching because there may exist an entity in x which may cause an issue? You can answer within a theoretical context if it makes it easier for you.

I think the people who had their computers wrecked by Microsoft updates might care.

I don’t see why you felt it necessary to state this in response to me when I never said the contradictory.

Why do you equate me asking about a possibility of making the updating process more stable and secure, something that would be beneficial to both Microsoft and its customers, to asking for the removal of all 3rd party software?

Do you walk into hospitals and ask them if they maybe just could put a Band-Aid on the guy and call it a day? Maybe jab your greasy fingers around inside somebody and suggest that some Robotussin probably would clear that up? :rolleyes:

Please do keep telling me more about the right way to handle this kind of thing.

The question doesn’t make sense. Butter brickle peanut sandwich motion lop top?

Maybe just don’t bother typing if you don’t understand what you’re talking about?

We’re pretty particularly discussing a third party overwriting memory badly. If you do not understand this issue, and you pretty clearly do not, maybe just stop typing nonsense.

I don’t even know where to start. I realize you don’t know what you’re talking about, but … please leave me out of your crazy.

Next stupid post eats a ban. I’m not sure if you’re trolling or just completely retarded, but either way – just stop while you’re behind.

Microsoft: Do Not Question Us.

Anything else we need to be vary of?

I don’t know: I’m off working on other stuff as usual. Generally by the time something comes out I haven’t thought about it for a fairly long while. That particular 3rd party tool simply stomps on stuff I have a level of ownership of, so it came to my attention. Sorry: I don’t stay on top of product support stuff for areas other than my own. Plus or minus I’ve been off in Mexico and now a special project so have barely been at my desk this month. :bluu:

Some simple tips after installing the creators update

My desktop is having issues with blue screens. Memory management bullshit.

Gonna be sad when I have to bury this thing.

I just got a new laptop and it came with windows 10 pre-installed. I thought I had a couple vids and pages saved on that OS but I guess I lost that shit. Can anyone point me in the direction of a page or video that can list things that I can/should remove or disable?

Just bought my first new Pc with Windows 10. I was skeptical at first but the more i mess with it, I think it’s probably my favorite windows since XP.

Speaking of which, this works great too:

Congrats you discovered Classic Shell. It’s been around since Windows 8.0 .
But seriously it’s a great app, recommended for anyone who prefers the Start prior to Win 8 (Win 98, 98SE, XP, 2000, Vista, and 7)

Windows reminds me of Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter with the secrets, Easter eggs, and such
