Windows 11 – tcpip.sys green screen of death (GSOD) [Solved]

Hello and greeting to everyone!

Trying to upgrade your machine to Windows 11 via Windows Insider and getting a green screen of death because something went wrong with tcpip.sys driver?

Ok, this one may not work for everyone, but at least for Portuguese readers that have installed Autenticação.Gov application just follow this tip.

Uninstall Autenticação.Gov before upgrading and…you’re done!

It seems strange but, I could not upgrade 3 different laptops (different models and different vendors) and now the upgrade runs like a charm!

Just hope AMA can fix this issue asap so I can fully install the app again.

Win10 – “Sets” – What belongs together, stays together!

So Microsoft eared all about it and developed “Sets”. This is not the final and definitive name but will be available soon for everyone on Windows Insider Program (WIP).

This new feature will allow users to have a similar experience with tabs like in Edge browser.
The new mantra for “Sets” is that what belongs together stays together.
Basically this means that you can aggregate on a single window everything you need about a subject.

For example, during a project, you need to browse some websites, edit your PowerPoint presentation and create a Word document, all this on the same window what should make you work faster.

Here’s a video from Microsoft showing off Windows “Sets”:

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update – Improved Formatting for Windows Update Log

I must say…finally!

For those that needed to get Windows Update log using powershell with the cmd-let “Get-WindowsUpdateLog” there was a really annoying issue to read this “compiled log”.

Basically what happened was that after you run the cmd-let, and you opened the log file you’ll noticed that the formatting was completely a mess typically because the symbols weren’t there. That was usually a temporary situation, waiting for the symbols to be uploaded to a server and indexed.

Well….but if, for example, you were troubleshooting a machine that need to be out of the network? Than you’ll never get the correct formatting for the log file unless you copied it to a connect machine.

Now, with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (v1710) or if you’re a Windows Insider with at least v1709, this issue was completely “fixed".
This means that running “Get-WindowsUpdateLog” you’ll automatically format the log file, without the need to have any network connection.

Here’s an example on how the log file looks with automatic formatting even without network:

Windows Phone: Windows 10 Preview Will Have a Rollback Tool

Windows 10 for Phone preview release may be available soon for some users through Microsoft Windows Insider program.

If in a computer, testing preview software it's an easy going thing, doing it on your personal smartphone it's a different approach.

Thinking on this, Microsoft will have a rollback tool, so users can get back to their Windows Phone 8.

This confirmation was revealed to the world with a tweet from one the Microsoft's General Manager, Grabriel Aul.
