On a whim, I opened Winaero.com in Sandbox. Here's the thing: the site won't open in a browser window with ad blocking turned out. Looks normal in Sanbox, tho... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
Because the new MSI MAG Tomahawk has built-in BlueTooth just tried to use a Logitech UltraThin Mouse. No dice. PC case on the floor/me inbetween/mouse on the desk just doesn't work. Great for laptops, tho... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Whoa! Just had 10 upgrades pop in an X380 WinTerm session. Not a record, but a lot. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
Ooo-wee-ooh! Are you feeling lucky? There's a new NVIDIA 595.97 driver out. Go get it...or not? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
I about had a cow when my registry told me the CA-2023 update task was "NotStarted." Then I did some checking...it's all good, anyway. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/uefica2023statusnotstarted.html
Understanding UEFICA2023Status=NotStarted - Ed Tittel

Understanding UEFICA2023Status=NotStarted means recognizing that an early UEFI update (e.g. vendor BIOS Flash) may obviate this task.
