Odd. I had little or no update action after 10 days OOO. This morning, winget drops me 8 updates in one swell foop. Go figure! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Here's a day-by-day travelogue that recounts how the ASUS A14 Zenbook (Snapdragon X based Copilot+ PC) behaved on a recent 10-day road trip. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/asus-a14-zen

I'm jazzed to learn that Smart App Control can be toggled on and off at will in Build 26220.7070 (and later). Then I look for it on my eligible test PCs: nothing doing. Bitten by "gradual rollout" yet again! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/sac-gains-gr

Upon returning to work after a 10-day break, I notice my ThinkPad T14s is firing up and logging me in as I sit near it. Changing this default behavior is "interesting." #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/presence-sen

I finally figured out -- and fixed -- Advanced IP Scanner going MIA. Turns out it doesn't adjust to switching Main display from left- to right-hand monitor at all well. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/screen-chang

Here's my initial endorsement for Hasleo Backup Suite as a worthy (and free) successor to Macrium Reflect 8 (Free). Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/hasleo-backu

OK, then: initial indications are that Hasleo works with ARM PCs. Not only did it complete a backup, but I was able to boot into their rescue disk and able to restore from there. Good news! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Before I try to upgrade the ThinkPad T14s ARM laptop to Dev channel, I need a workable backup solution. That too, poses some challenges. Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/another-arm-

Backup/restore on ARM is tricky, too. I just blew up the T14Snap again, this time EaseUS ToDo Backup caused "Inaccessible boot media" black screen. Rebuilding, then switching to Reflect. I *KNOW* that works. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

2025-12-02

Ha! I've just looked at making the T14Snap a Dev channel PC, and just got an MS warning 'bout that. Wonder if my recent BitLocker loop is somehow related? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

MS warning now advises backup before joining a PC to the Dev channel. Good on them. I'm now fully prepared, BTW.

Because it's easier for me to see notifications on my right-hand monitor (#2), I use Display settings to make it the main display. Here's how... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/moving-windo

When the new Settings > Apps > App Updates in Build 26220.7271 fails to update the MS Store, I see something odd is up. Here's what I learned... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/settings-vs-

In bringing up Oh-My-Posh on the ASUS A14 ARM laptop, I need to iron out a wrinkle. Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/arm-pc-throw
