Hi @JenMsft, do you know why on Windows 11, Task Manager became dark icons/caption on dark background (stock @Dell configuration)?

It's ehm, not really #a11y proof this way.

Happens on Dutch and English installs.

Hi @MicrosoftHelps, I have a different problem.

When creating an account using Edge on Windows 10 (latest version of both; no plugins; Microsoft Defender in default settings), solving the puzzle loops back to

"Please solve the puzzle so we know you're not a robot." Message: "Please solve the puzzle so we know you're not
It does not matter if you solve the image or audio version.

After solving each puzzle a "create account" briefly appears, then a new puzzle is presented.

This means I cannot create an account for registering a Microsoft license.

How should I proceed creating a MS account? Briefly shown: "Create account"
I tried in an anonymous window and in Chrome (latest version, both normal and anonymous window). All give the same repeating result.

@NotMyself what happened to iamnotmyself.com/2011/02/13/ref… (it currently returns a 404- error)

I guess quite a few places still link to it and other blog posts, so it would be cool to know if it exists somewhere and if so notify people to update their links.
@NotMyself This returns a few examples: google.com/search?q=https…
@NotMyself I wish @Google hadn't killed the `link:` operator, otherwise google.com/search?q=link%… would have worked.

@CoryKnox Just saw them, thanks.

Are you sure the

Remove-Item $toolsDir/*.zip

won't trigger

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; # stop on all errors

in subsequent runs when no zip files exist any more?
@CoryKnox Dang: they made the rules more strict.

Does anyone know why this iqvw64e.sys file from @Dell is considered unsafe? It is signed by @IntelSoftware and resides in C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent\PCDr\SupportAssist\6.0.7033.2285\iqvw64e.sys

iqvw64e.inf in the same directory: 04/06/2018,1.3.2.17

@IntelSupport? Dutch screenshot indicating...Dutch screenshot indicating...
The English screenshot is from answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/… indicating "iqvw64e is a software component of Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver" and @Windows suggesting to lower security settings (which makes the system less secure).
There is very little I can find on the "NALDevice" mentioned in the .inf file. "NAL device" gives me github.com/Exploitables/C… which should be fixed in the 1.3.2 version of the driver I have.

@dalijap I'm not alone in running into this as it is a per-user registry setting: superuser.com/questions/1645…
@dalijap Configuring the "Default User" registry hive (which is used for new Windows users) requires hive loading, modifying, then unloading: scribbleghost.net/2018/06/25/cus…
