Improved

• Changes are now verified after writing and reported if Windows blocks them

• PREM: The redesigned “Manage Profiles…” dialog explains profiles, highlights the applied profile, and reorganizes its buttons
• PREM: “Apply” is now available only when the selected profile would change the current state

Fixed

• “Disable Windows Geolocation Service” (L005) did not remain enabled on Windows 10 through Windows 11 23H2 and now permanently disables the service through its start value (reboot required)
• “Disable application telemetry” (U001) could incorrectly appear disabled despite the applied policy because an edition-dependent mirror value was evaluated

• PREM: A single timeout while applying many settings could also cause all subsequent changes to fail

Removed

• PREM: The “Revert” button was removed from “Manage Profiles…” because changes are now reverted centrally through “Actions ▸ Undo”

Info

• Compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10; x86, x64, and ARM architectures
• Available in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese

They make a trashy OS for stupid Kool-Aid drinking losers that are willing to put up with it. Why anyone would be willing to tolerate that is a mystery. How Micro$lop could expect anyone to is an even greater mystery. It seems obvious that they believe the users of their trashy OS are all very stupid people.

Windows 11 September Update Kills Audio Output on Some PCs

Windows 11 continues its streak of breaking things, as Microsoft has confirmed that there is an issue with the latest September security update. According to the updated support document, Microsoft confirmed that the KB5124008 Windows security update can break audio output on some PCs. Specifically, this security update introduces issues with USB audio devices, where users of these audio output devices can't get any output from them. Messages include "This device cannot start (Code 10)" in the device manager, which fails to recognize some devices, while other symptoms can include unresponsive volume controls, no volume at all, no audio output, unresponsive sound settings, or the complete lack of detection in the device manager.
