Hi @JenMsft, is there any way to skip the Windows configuration steps that appear every few months during Windows updates?
My mentally retarded brother gets really confused when hey appear on his system after Windows automatically rebooted after updating: he cannot get past them:
he then panics as it means he cannot use his PC to video-call his care-takers any more until someone assists him getting past them.

The panic makes him skip calling for help using his land-line.

His level operation of an autistic 3-year old in an adult body living on his own.
We are fully aware that is remarkable, and that eventually he won't be able any more.

But from an #inclusion point of view, it would be really nice if this feature can be disabled on a system for any future updates.

How is that possible?

Next week, on Thursday & Friday November 14 & 15, I will be teaching two conference sessions at @ITDevCon in Rome, Italy.

In my speaker profile, you will see that I have recovered enough to take on these kind of events again.

Moe, voldaan en onder de paracetamol ben ik dankbaar dat @CrescendoSassem me, ondanks mijn beperkingen, 2 maanden terug vroeg een percussieplek in te vullen.

Afgelopen zaterdag in totaal 4 uur met ze op het podium geweest met Shaffy & Brass.

Het ging boven verwachting.

De truc die ik een andere club (zie verderop) ook al uitgelegd had: minder laxeermiddel gebruiken, minder drinken, en van te voren genoeg rust nemen. Dan is ontlasting nog wel een risico, maar wordt een flinke poos uitgesteld.

Nadeel voor mezelf: de dagen erna meer laxeren.

Er waren voor mij tranen van blijdschap, want de vorige keer dat ik daar stond was 4 jaar terug met @GeReinders1 toernee Oetbloaze vlak nadat ik te horen had gekregen dat de bestralingen achteraf toch niet genoeg waren om de endeldarmkanker te bestrijden.

Eerst was Teva (2e) preferent Foto van verschillende soorten Macrogol; namen in volgende tweets.

@Marjo_Sl @Dinsdal85174312 Dit is het enige pompoenrecept wat ik heb: kreeg ik ooit van een vriend.

De truc is 45 minuten in de oven op 200 graden. Dan komt het vel er makkelijk af en is de pompoen ook al flink gaar, dus gaat snijden veel makkelijker.

Recept over de alt-text van beide plaatjes verdeeld. Pumpkin soup (2*4 Portions) Ingredients for 4 Portions 1.7 k... 11) Slowly stir in milk, sugar, and 4 EL of Crème Fraî

Whoever introduced `=MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255)` to get the current Excel Worksheet name should be spanked: it fails on MacOS & Windows when your Workbook path contains `]`.

It proliferated like crazy though: ~500k results from google.com/search?q=%3DMI…
This one works better:

`=MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("/",SUBSTITUTE(CELL("filename"),"]","/",(LEN(CELL("filename"))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(CELL("filename"),"]","")))))+1,LEN(CELL("filename")))`

Blog post coming up in a while (it's draft and the blog queue is back to strength: 3 years).
This works because though `[` and `]` can be part of path names on MacOS and Windows, they cannot be part of Worksheet names.

Excel for Windows just cancels the rename operation when you try, but on MacOS you get this nice dialog box excluding the characters

: \ / ? * [ ] While renaming a sheet or c...

@applescripter @Felienne @ICER_C Bumped into another Excel feature today that has this: the CELL function which depends on which locale of Office you have installed.

support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/c… =IF(CELL("type",A...
@applescripter @Felienne @ICER_C In Dutch, the English CELL function becomes CEL, but the parameters are not automatically translated because they are strings instead of tokens.

The first example given works fine in Dutch though.

support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/office/c… =ALS(CEL("type";A...
@applescripter @Felienne @ICER_C But in German, CELL becomes ZELLE and "type" needs to be altered into "typ".
