Microsoft Windows / Re: Windows 11
Last post by Vasudev - August 19, 2026, 10:24 AMQuoteAccording to this article comparison editions win11, the last version of win11 has a slightly higher cpu utilization than the previous versions. But the lacklustre performance of your hardware is likely due to the physical wear of the components surrounding the CPU (this phenomenon is called thermal throttling). As a computer ages, its cooling system becomes less efficient.Doubtful since I've recently replaced the paste for Phase Change material. 24/25h2 drivers are really buggy and are winky with win 11 security
Note that there will be no new version of windows this months (the last version I uploaded is avaible here: win11 25h2. Since a new opus of windows is likely to be released in September, a significant update will be uploaded next month.

Located in the foothills of the mountains surrounding Taif, not far from the town Jeddah in saudi Arabia, lies a territory where a local tribe live with a strong bound to nature.
Everyday the members of the tribe go to the local market to fetch food, and quite unconventionally, they live with feral dogs. Those dogs are important, since they are protecting them from hyenas.
Two audio tracks, French and English, are available for this documentary.

Super Mario Bros 3 was released in 1993 and at the time I was a fan of this game. I assume that humbert, shadow.97 and Vasudev played this game too, but they probably missed the hidden whistles scattered in the various levels. This video explains the purpose of the special hidden items in Super Mario Bros 3.

What's Behind UFOs? A documentary for the users of the forum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlYmgs90ZoY
On Sunday, April 3 2011,the count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès and Agnès—along with Benoît, Anne, and Arthur went to the cinema to watch the movie Rango and then enjoyed a meal at a nearby restaurant.
During this final outing, just before she disappeared, 48-year-old Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès enjoyed a white Martini as an aperitif. She also asked for ice cubes. At the Le Charolais Grill in Saint-Herblain near Nantes, the Dupont de Ligonnès family was known as a group of "well-to-do customers." Arriving around 8:30 p.m. that evening, the count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès—now known to have been riddled with debt—along with Agnès and three of the four children, all "well-dressed as always," enjoyed a hearty beef dinner. Xavier and Agnès also shared "a good bottle of wine" before settling the 136€ bill. Then they left the restaurant around 9:45 p.m. The next day, their weekly routine awaited them: school for the children, work for Agnès... Or so they believed.
After this family outing, everyone returned home, and the count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès sent a message to the sister, Christine. She did not reply, however, due to the late hour and Xavier left a voicemail message: "We were out at the movies and then at a restaurant—on a Sunday evening!—and we've just got back, so... well... It's a bit late to call, and now I see you're on voicemail. Anyway, sending you a hug... If it's not too late, give me a call or send a quick text and I'll call you back. Right now, I'm going to put the kids to bed and say goodnight to everyone. See you soon! Maybe..." Xavier said. At 10pm Anne sent a message to a friend on the computer. It will be the last message. At 3 am the respiratory device that Agnès was using stopped functioning. The murders probably took place during the night.
On April 5, Thomas, who was a musicology student at the Catholic University of Angers had dinner with the count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès at a gourmet restaurant on the outskirts of the city. Xavier had urged him to come home, claiming that Agnès was in the hospital for a minor issue following a bicycle accident.
On April 21, following a report from relatives worried about their sudden disappearance, Agnès, Benoît, Thomas, Anne, and Arthur were found shot dead, wrapped in bedsheets and burlap, covered in lime, in a pit dug beneath their home's terrace. Thomas, who lay in an adjacent hole, appears to have outlived them for a few days. But the master of the family, the count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès was not present. What happened?

On April 21st 1945, the Soviets reached the city of Berlin. The third Reich was threatened and it was time for Operation Seraglio: it was necessary to evacuate the Fuhrer's inner circle and transport important documents to a command center in Southern Germany. The last of the aircrafts, carrying the original shorthand notes of the Fuhrer's 'table talks' from 1942, took off on 23 April and was shot down by an Allied night-fighter over a forested area of Bavaria. When the wreckage was discovered, the 10 metal trunks it was carrying were gone.
What exactly was in those metal trunks remained a mystery for decades. But in 1983, an antiques dealer claimed to be in possession of a set of the lost diaries supposedly written by the Fuhrer.
Those diaries were of utmost historical significance. But were they real?

Last post by Vasudev - August 03, 2026, 07:15 PMI had to downgrade my 25H2 install to 23H2 due to constant issues with thermals and terrible battery life.
I've updated 23H2 ISO with latest July 2026 patches.
For in-place install or upgrades, you can delete unattended xml included in the root of the ISO or install using it to add lot of tweaks and fixes such as No edge, widgets, copilot etc. Brave is the browser and switched to irfanview from faststone due to licensing concerns if the ISO is used in enterprise or workplace.
Windows 11 23H2 ISO
Windows 11 23H2 Hashes
If ARM64 unattended builds are needed check the file listed in github repo
I did test ARM64 Windows on Mac VM and updated scripts that weren't present for arm64.

Chit Chat / Re: good movies
Last post by scarface - July 19, 2026, 01:50 AMTonight, another good movie, titled "City of Ember", is available on the forum.
The story: For generations, the city of Ember has languished in a world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.

Last post by scarface - July 19, 2026, 01:20 AMQuote from: humbert on July 17, 2026, 05:14 AMCan you mount the iso and see a setup.exe that will allow you to install it over an existing installation?If a classic upgrade failed with a loop "Undoing changes", it usually means that missing files on your current Os messed things up.
Every time I've tried to to install one, all I get is that hateful "undoing changes" prompt, which brings you back to square one.
If the upgrade continues to fail, it might be worth formatting the computer. If you have an existing partition, it's probably easy to save your files.
PS: I realized that the touchpad is not working during the installation of the latest version that was uploaded (I found this out when I tried to boot the iso on a laptop and not in a virtual machine, it's due to the tiny version of boot.wim). Use a usb mouse if you try to install it. This problem will be solved in the next version which will contain a slightly bigger boot.wim with more drivers.
