More MS update follies

[WLJ]

Oh gee, MS automatically starts uploading your files to their cloud on new installs of both 10 & 11.
Yes one drive was turned on by default before but to automatically start uploading your files without asking is taking that to a whole new level.
In comments someone states you have to be careful about deleting you files off the one drive cloud because it will also delete them on your computer by default unless that feature is turned off.  Also in comments people say they started this with 10. I can't confirmed any of this as I always turn one drive off.

New Windows 11 Installations are Turning on OneDrive Backup Automatically

Check when you save anything in anything and see if whatever program you're in is trying to save to onedrive regardless of what your save settings are in that program. Seems MS is overriding save settings to onedrive even when onedrive is turned off. In my case they're not actually going there but the fact it overrides settings and tries anyway is annoying. If I was actually logged in a MS account I would be pissed it would be doing it without asking and I can't find a way to turn it's attempts off

I dealt with that on a recent laptop drive upgrade. I didn't realize OneDrive was enabled by default and started loading data onto the drive. It was only after I loaded half a gig of data that I realized it was also syncing to OneDrive. I went ahead and let it finish lest it anger the Windows Gods and hose my fresh install, but disabled it immediately once the sync finished.

It tries even when you got Onedrive disabled which I do and saves always default to Onedrive no matter what the program I'm saving in is set to. The saves are going to downloads & docs as they should but the fact W11 still tries to upload to OD without asking and you can't turn that off has got me one step away from installing Linux and W11 in a dual boot config reserving W11 for only when I absolutely have to run something in windows.

On some configurations, Bitlocker is automatically enabled even tho' they never send you the key.  (it's supposedly available in your Microsoft account)

In other update news that not MS related Intel has started releasing a microcode patch to the fix the over voltage issues that have been plaguing 13 and 14 gen Intel CPUs.
Bad news if you CPU has already started to show instability as your CPU is already fired.
This could turn into a HUGE recall for Intel

 Intel's new Microcode patch is HERE! Impact Testing Performance...

In case you're not aware of what going with Intel and it's not good.
In short basically the CPUs are asking for more voltage then they can take and over time it fries them.

Intels in serious trouble

W11 24H2 has dropped but they've doing a staged release so you may or may not be seeing it in the update page yet.

Downloaded, used rufus to make a stick.  Checked all the boxes in rufus for the various workarounds.  Started an in place upgrade on a scratch laptop.  "Processor not supported". 

So, it's tighter than it was.  Which we knew.

Makes me wonder what will happen when an old PC that already has 11 installed is updated. Hmmm testing time.
Rufus may be updated to deal with it, time will tell.

edit: Neither of the old PCs are showing 24H2 yet. Will have to try again later.
