We are currently developing a custom windows image with pre-installed software & configuration. The problem is when WDS captures the build it only has the choice to capture windows install drive and not the system reserved 100MB it uses for win Recovery Environment etc. When deploying back though WDS it then installs on disk from the first sector not re-creating the system reserved as on original computer.

Does anyone know how to get WDS or even MDT to create a system partition for recovery?

Its possible, but not as easy in WDS compared to MDT. Here is a link with the rundown:

MS truly needs to create a simpler solution for non-enterprise users.

    • KDE Plasma 6.5 will notify you if your printer's ink is low

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      KDE Plasma 6.5 will notify you if your printer's ink is low by David Uzondu This week, the KDE team continued work on the upcoming Plasma 6.5.0 as well as Plasma 6.4's fourth bug fix release, 6.4.4. As usual, both Plasma versions saw several UI tweaks, bug fixes, and performance improvements. The most notable changes are discussed in this article. Let's start with Plasma 6.5. The desktop environment is getting a useful feature that tells you when your printer is low on ink. This works by having the system check the Common Unix Printing System, or CUPS, for marker levels after a print job is created or completed. CUPS stores attributes like marker-levels in its printers.conf file, and once a level is determined to be low, it triggers a marker-supply-low-warning that Plasma will now use to inform you. UI improvements scheduled for 6.5 include disabling key repeat for certain global shortcuts, like toggling Overview, to prevent rapid screen flashing that could be a seizure risk. There is a better "Someone started sharing this screen" notification that now appears only after a connection is fully established. You will also find standard KDE styling with the "Confirm deleting network connection" dialog, and more consistent spacing in the Global Menu widget. As for bug fixes in 6.5, a layout bug that caused visual overflow in the printer setup page has been corrected. An issue that stopped you from using the virtual keyboard in the Application Dashboard search field is fixed, and XDG portal-using apps can now request screencasts of new virtual outputs. Finally, the clipboard configuration window's size and position information has been moved from the state config file to the settings file. Moving on to 6.4.4, the hitboxes for desktop items now correctly match their visual styling. This means no more accidentally selecting an invisible box around a file. And when you mark a notification as low priority, it will now correctly appear in your history if it arrived during Do Not Disturb mode, so it does not just vanish. If you're experiencing a Kwin crash on login, particularly in a QEMU virtual machine, 6.4.4 has a fix for that on the way. Other bug fixes 6.4.4 brings include: A fix for the Global Menu widget's single-button mode for X11 users. The search field in the Wayland version of the Global Menu widget works again. An annoying bug in the Global Shortcuts XDG portal that made apps think they had no shortcuts has been resolved. Plasma Browser Integration's built-in Share feature has been repaired. Plasma 6.4.4 will drop on the 5th of next month. You can find more details on the official KDE Blog.

      I just remember wondering how she was ever a bridge officer at all with all of her insufferable insecurities. I am sure she's a wonderful person in real life, but the character was poorly written. They even had to dedicate a whole episode to her being forced into taking the responsibility of leading cadets out of a problem of some sort as if to show how she is "growing" into her function. Never bridge officer material and I just rolled my eyes at her scenes and eventually stopped watching the show altogether, but also because of all the lead character's cry/whisper/talking that frustrated me.

      Why isn't it more widespread then? What about people that like PC gaming and don't want/don't own a console? MMO gaming/professional work with specific software aren't "edge cases".
