So we passed 10 Million forum posts!


Recommended Posts

This is indeed a great achievement for neowin, 10 Million posts and counting. Amazing feet of commitment and innovation from the neowin team. Congratz to one and all at neowin. The support provided by the members shows how popular the forum is and a job well done by the team.

I joined neowin in late 2003, and neowin.net is the first site i visit every day to get my daily dose of tech news, information and at times help from the community for pritty much anything and everything. I cannot think of any other site on the internet that matches up to this expectation.

I am sure that I am not alone when I say that the quality of information, the platform for discussion and the design/user experience are second to none.

All the very best and I hope that this journey lasts forever.

If you joined in 2001 and still active:

Anyway, from myself and the staff I would like to thank everyone for making this target possible; and offer any member that is still active from 2001 a free Tier 2 account.

All you have to do is either reply here, or PM me to set you up, if I miss your post, do PM me so you don't miss out!

Joined in Dec 2001 i do believe, which I'll find out if I'm right once I post this, used to be big on betas and used to regularly visit this site, betanews and winsupersite.. now really only the former

I don't remember how long it's been, OK 02

Joined because I had some questions regarding PC hardware and this was the best place I found

Stayed because it's still the best place to get fast and accurate help regarding pretty much anything PC/Mac related

C'mon! I lurked for one week too long before registering! :laugh:

I was told about Neowin in an IRC channel dedicated to Whistler/XP way back when. I think it was simply #WindowsXP on DALnet if memory serves correctly. The Whistler news and later the customization forum kept me coming back and eventually the community became so diverse but still yet connected that I almost had no choice but to stick around. Somewhere in between I decided to register. I don't post a lot, but I'm sure I've spent more time here than any on other site on the Internet.

I've been holding off subcribing for so long, I'm just glad I finally did it. It almost felt like paying off a debt :laugh:. Good luck to the post-2001s in getting a tier 2!

Congrats on 10million posts... and Neowin has been a daily routine for a long time, and I'm glad it is too, since it's the best site that I've come across that has yet been a troll fest. :p All we have to deal with is Rappy... and that is completely worth it. :D

Congrats Neowin!

Been a member since April 2002 and just passed 9 years here. Neowin is always opened in my browser, and will always be my favourite tech site.

I came in 2002 in search for news about Whistler. And I kept visiting att for the superb skinning community here. That changed drasticly with Vista sadly, but the community have always been good none the less.

Now I mostly hang out in the BPN though. This is mostly because my job keeps my busy with the more tech and support things. So after work Neowin keep me upated with the news around the world. Looking forward to Windows 8 and what this community will come up with.

Here's for 10m more!

I joined in 2001, and I'm still active, actually, I've become increasingly active of the last 2-3 years, although not as much as our resident spammers ;)

heck, I'll even tell you why I joined;)

The Windows Whistler beta.... oh, and thats the codename for Windows XP for all of you who can't remember;)

and yeah, it was concidered crap in comparison to Windows 2000 by many at it's RTM release. It was SOOO SLOW, and it was the fisherprice OS and so on. Well, I loved it then, I remember using it as my main OS as soon as the RC's hit.

Neowin was TH? number one place for your latest beta-kick and leaks :D

And whats keeping me here?

A great community, with great people (that might not always agree with each other, but hey, we are all human), a great staff and

the number one site for my tech news :D

Seesh I've just noticed I've been kicking around this site for nearly 10 years now. Happy to be contributing with my sub

Here's to the next 10 years!

Edit: Just noticed by member number too - 1058! Sooo close to sub 1000 club!

Edit2: Sub extensions I hear :-) Neobond over here :waves:

I joined because I had a question about something... I can't remember why it was 9 years ago. I had read the forum from its inception, in fact I stumbled across it because it was the only tech site that was able to get through my high school's content filter at the time.

I stayed here because there's always something interesting to read, and occasionally I'll say something somewhat useful (hence my low post count). It's a nice place to ask a few questions about things and rant about other things when needed...

I liked the site so much that I purchased a Tier2 subscription last year.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.
    • "performance issues? what performance issues?!"
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
