Please note:

The staff will not accept reports to mark answers to questions as solved. If the poster doesn't mark it we will mark them if we run across them. Please do not use the report function for this.

If I read the rules correctly, then to me, that's abuse of the report button, sounds like there might be some re enforcement needed for that feature...

It's nothing that drastic. I think of report abuse as things like reporting a post just because you disagree with it or something along those lines.

If the report center gets filled up with answer marking requests it just takes longer for us to deal with bigger issues like spam, personal attacks, etc.

Imagine how messy it would be if people reported posts where someone agreed with them but didn't hit the "Like" button. :)

If you see something that's obviously a good answer and nobody's marked it for a week or two it's fine. We want people to find answers to their problems immediately if possible, just don't overdo it.

Hint, hint says Eric. Fine, I'll give you a like, so you don't report me. :p

:D

Just to be clear, this is not directed at any members specifically. :)

To be honest, I didn't even know that some members used the report feature to mark their post as the best answer. :s But I'm glad that it's been changed as I think it should always be up to the OP, not a member who believes their answer is the best. :) Also, I know you weren't targeting specific members. :D

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
