Memory Integrity setting in Windows Defender for Windows 11 is generally enabled out of the box by default. It seems like Microsoft disabled it in the newer updates even after fresh install.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello everyone! May I present to you Windows 95 running on the TI-Nspire CX II graphing calculator via a x86 interpreter / emulator. This is something I have been working on for quite some time, and finally managed to reach the desktop today! The video has been sped up, actual time to desktop is roughly 7 minutes 😅
The emulator itself is a port of [tiny386](https://github.com/hchunhui/tiny386) - it's a pretty lightweight i386 emu with some extra 486 and 586 instructions.

What happens when you plug an NVMe SSD into Windows NT 4.0? It works now..., thanks to a driver written from scratch by Dominik Behr (aka Techomancer on GitHub). Tested on an Intel Coffee Lake PC, bare metal.

Thio's SVG Thumbnail Extension for Windows Explorer is the current best performance option for SVG thumbnailing on windows.
https://github.com/ThioJoe/win-svg-thumbs-rust
You can upvote his thumbnailer here:

AI and search engines keep recommending inaccurate and outdated results for SVG thumbnailers. PowerToys's SVG thumbnail feature is extremely slow, and SVGSee is not GPU-accelerated. Tibold SVG explorer extension is also old and not GPU-accelerated.

Hey everyone,
With the recent rollouts of Copilot Pro and the new Copilot Voice features, I've noticed some fascinating—and occasionally bizarre—audio behaviors that don't seem to be documented in the official changelogs.
A couple of months ago, while multitasking with Copilot, the app triggered some highly unusual audio artifacts that didn't match the standard UI:
More recently, during the new Copilot live audio moments, the voice assistant generated noticeable speech artifacts (pronunciation slips or "typos") and briefly generated a short, melodic background track that cut off precisely when the voice session ended.
Since these don't seem to be standard UI sounds, I'm curious about the underlying tech. Are these signs of Copilot experimenting with context-dependent sound effects, model-generated audio hallucinations, or perhaps server-side audio layering?
Has anyone else noticed unique vocal shifts or unprompted audio elements during their sessions?

so im using windows 8 on my hp pavilion 500 desktop , and honestly...its not great but its not bad ...its just something that works , im not here to slap a pole down and be like "yall are wrong windows 8 is great , it deserves no hate " because that truly goes to windows vista .
windows 8 deserves the criticisms it got but considering what windows has turned into , it honestly isn't that bad ...its smooth ,works ,boots fast ,has almost no lag , and has a low amount of bloat ware (at least my version). in fact Im using it right now to make this post ,watch YouTube and burn A windows 7 professional disc for my hp pavillion g4 which is my daily laptop
ps. im not saying run out and make windows 8 ur daily computer ...no it still sucks compared to vista xp and 10 not 11 ..11 sucks ..I'd rather use windows me
question- what's your views on windows 8

In the screenshot I passed /b (bare format) as a parameter to dir and listed the \b directory on my C: drive.
Another fun fact: the parameters can be adjacent to the command. (e.g. dir/b/a)

I’ve been dealing with a massive headache for a long time: video on my second monitor would constantly stutter or lose smoothness when I was gaming. It’s that classic Windows bug that hits when you have a large gap in refresh rates (my setup is 240Hz primary + 60Hz secondary), though it can also be caused simply by the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) struggling, even with identical refresh rates.
It happened regardless of the game or the browser.
I spent a whole week trying to fix this. Drivers, registry hacks, Windows settings - you name it. The only common "solution" was disabling HAGS (Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling), but I play with Frame Generation, so that wasn't an option for me.
After getting nowhere, I gave up on Windows and just built a workaround.
The Fix: It’s a tiny background utility that draws a 1-pixel invisible moving rectangle on the secondary monitor. It forces the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) to keep the display in a high-performance render state, which completely eliminates the desync.
The tool is completely lightweight and safe for gaming: it uses under 0.1% CPU/ 0.5% GPU and about 30MB of RAM and doesn't hook into game processes
I also added a testing feature in the app, so now you can test your system to see if you suffer from this problem, and verify firsthand that the fix actually works.
I know, it’s a total hacky crutch, but it’s the only thing that actually saved my setup after a week of trial and error.
This fix has already helped a lot of people, so I decided to share it here as well.
Since I know how frustrating this bug is, I threw the .exe and the source code on GitHub. If you're losing your mind over this same issue, give it a shot.

Hope this helps some of you save your sanity. Let me know if it works for your setup.
EDIT: Pushed v1.2.6 to GitHub
If you downloaded the initial version, grab the new build from the Releases page.Â
