Being quiet again lately. Family struggles, health issues and 3 repairs in 4 weeks of scooter whicj causes stress beyond imagination.
In 2-3 weeks my new scooter will come which will relieve me of 1 point of stress but right now life is not fun.

Interesting.. my VPN refused to make a proper connection on my previous W10 install after working great for years.
The upgrade to W11 didnt solve it. A complete reinstall did..
UNTILL... i installed my Avast Ultimate... appearently thr shields do refuse to ket NordVON work properly.. it does connect.. but hardly ever able to browse or stream foreign content.
Anyone else have this issue?
i use Avast One and love it
i also run with the avast vpn on and nord vpn on
havent run into any connection issues

Insomnia is a pain. That and watching Invincible had to be done.
Avast Ultimate has its own VPN, but having the full suite will block any other VPN as part of a protection to assume that any other VPN can be used as an attack (Technically not a lie, but goes over the top for the truth).
Avast Ultimate also has a tendency to mess with the network settings which can interrupt HyperV VM. It also adds invisible priority in the connection to itself so when NordVPN connects and tells Windows to prioritize,… See More
AVAST will counter and say ignore everything else. IT IS POSSIBLE TO WORK TOGETHER however, but that requires massive tinkering.
In the I.T. business side, it is better to not use it. Personal I.T., I would suggest other avenues if you're gonna use something outside of Windows.
Also, AVG and AVAST are the same so don't consider AVG as an alternative.

Yuck, I just had to reinstall Windows 11.
I deleted the partitions of my "old" Windows m.2 drive which I used for Windows 10 and upgraded to 11 on it not too long ago.
The drive had those partitions which were locked so some had to go through an override command in diskpart to be able to be deleted. And yea.. Windows didnt boot anymore after that.
Appearently the EFI of my old boot drive was still in use by the install of W11.
So yea... complete reinstall, really annoying. Now I see W11 created another… See More
EFI on my 2nd 980 Pro so for now i'll leave it like this. Next time I'm reinstalling I'm removing all my drives except the one I am installing on. For a smart program it's really kinda dumb.
Yes, seen advice to do that, disconnect all drives except the one you are installing to.
Though often more for reason of being clear to which drive you are installing to.
Though I had that same problem once with Windows 10 doing the same.
Made me reliant on a failing HDD.
Can't recall now if I moved the partition successfully, or had to do a reinstall.
I certainly did look into options for moving it.

Ordered new scooter today, a Peugeot Speedfight 4. Including all costs and taxes it was a big bill.
Just over 3500 Euro. Ive had such bad luck with 2nd hand scooters I wanted a new one and could afford it. It was either a 14900K + RTX4090 PC upgrade or a new scootie..
Gave my mom and sister 700 euro each so they have a good week also. We needed an uplifting week like this.
