Anyone noticed March 2015, Windows Malicious Removal Tool being offered as Optional Download in Windows Update before Patch Tuesday (Which is tomorrow BTW)?

Why would it be so unusual ?

The tool exist in any post - seven Windows .

Because it is released monthly on Patch Tuesdays. I can't find it though, maybe they made it available accidentally.

Please make some sense..  

Microsoft always release its updated version with Patch Tuesday, while they now released it out of band with Optional status.

No one really used it since it was on demand anyway.

New Windows 10 build possibly coming later this week or early next week!

Try sub-$150USD (GTX 750/Ti) - about half of the non-TI versions require NO external power at all.

Uhm. No. That doesn't indicate anything. He was just giving an example for release timing.

Ah, ok.

 

BTW, happy birthday!

Well. I have lessen the stress. I discovered that I could perfectly enable the old start menu (B. 9879).

 

Currently mi Windows 10 installation is broken: No Cortana, XAML Start Menu, Modern apps are also not working (except Settings, thankfully)

I have same issue after doing a system restore (for some reason, after some update keyboard stopped working and I chose simplest method of fixing it, but forgot that doing the system restore will most certainly break Start menu, search and modern apps (except Store (not beta) and Settings). I found a Powershell script to restore Start menu, but nothing to fix the rest. My only hope is that updating to new build will fix it.

 

I mean, I understand that it's a beta and you're not supposed to use it as primary OS (then again, if I'm not doing that my feedback would be shallow) and blah blah blah, but it's a pain in the ass to reinstall all the software after every unfortunate instance that I stumble on such a showstopper bug.

I ended up doing a clean install when that happened to me.

Yeah I had task manager and elevation stop working (plus a 2 min login delay) so I system restored and now my start menu doesn't work.. and I can't load webpages.  I haven't tried opening a modern app from it's exe but I'm assuming they will just hourglass too.

 

I was thinking I might have to cut power in the middle of windows loading so next boot I get the advanced settings menu, then I might try a refresh -shrug- It all happened randomly after a 3 day holiday not using my PC!

 I assume when video card vendors talk about minimum power supply requirements there are probably built in assumptions about the CPU, motherboard and other components.

Going through a clean install (well, upgrade)... the "nice" installation notes (like "Installing apps" and "Almost done") are cute, but for technicians, having access to a detailed feed in what is installing and how much would be really nice.

[UnclePritchard]

Yes. This is the recommended output anyway.. so a 450-500 may do it but there is a chance depending on varying power needs that this fails specifically because of lower rating.

Quick Q... is there a W10 native way to disable caps lock (and other keys)?

It might be a tech mistake [ like this : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/is-9935-the-new-build-13015-update-build-is-still/476a0fec-07df-45aa-b3bb-da776b6465f6 . ] .

From what I understand the Maxwell architecture is yielding some pretty good TDP results which hopefully should mean you can drop in Maxwell based video card without too many dramas.

[MikeM97]

Good ... but , still , you gave me no price ...

[siah1214]

Google it.

[MikeM97]

Google it.

 

Last time when I did it I got myself involved here and you have just seen what that means ...

I would wait for the lower end Maxwell cards.

I don't think so.

Lower-end Maxwell?  GTX750 and GTX750Ti (oddly enough, original Maxwell, albeit "baby Maxwell") are $150USD or less - (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709 600487564 600007782).  The link refers to 2 GB GTX750 (non-Ti) cards; most of which don't require an extra power feed of any sort. The ASUS model (bottom of the page, but currently out of stock) is passive-cooled (no fan at all).

Well, I thought he wanted the newest Maxwell cards, the 900 series, sorry. I meant to wait for the 950.

GTX960 (current bottom-end of "big Maxwell") is $200USD also at Newegg (six at $199.99 - two from Gigabyte, and singles from EVGA, PNY, MSI, and Zotac; the EVGA is a SFF model.)
