      @jaredbusch My condolences.

      I've got a laptop on Windows 11. Haven't used it much, it's not Ubuntu or MacOS, but it's not bad.

        It upgraded just fine. Which was the point of the test.

          Oh, I did a couple updates today. Haven't checked back on them yet.

            Just noticed the "meet now" icon in the system tray.
            Turns out it can't be removed, only hidden.

            Well, so say the 10 second DDG search... the search continues.

            Seems like malware...

              So there's a registry DWORD that can disable the icon
              48b50c2d-7806-42d4-b503-80cf03696caf-image.png

              Checked another account and it's greyed out but 'on', but the system tray icon is gone...
              Looks like it's a 'Feature' that there's no genuine control over.

              Looks like it's just a shortcut in the system tray to a website but that's irrelevant.
              IM I should, at minimum, be able to remove all non-core features like MeetNow, XBOX, Your Phone, etc

                  Upgrading my desktop to Fedora 35.

                  Did a new install on my laptop, but I have too much crap going on with my desktop to do that yet. I would say still 25% from being “stateless” on my desktop.

                    Because he's pointing out the obvious truth? 🙂

                      My gnome shell extensions do not work 😞

                      I used three, but two were important to my workflow.
                      Tray icons: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/
                      BaBar TaskBar: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4000/babar/

                      Flameshot also does not work 😞

                        AppIndicator has been my goto for tray icons
                        https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

                        Flameshot isn’t working for me either. It doesn’t work using the flatpak version and it notifies me if a new version but repo or flatpak isn’t updating to it.

                            We are starting to use MS Autopilot to deploy devices. Started with our Device image, updated, named it. got the Hardware ID and ran Sysprep.

                            Signed in and it picked up on the AutoPilot, installing our software (Adobe, Mitel, Chrome, Office, etc) and once all said and done - rebooted.

                            And that's it... died. won't boot just sits and the spinney dots. Guess I get to image it again.

                              Watching a Dell engineer type commands to set up our new data vault. And the zoom call is from 8am to 1pm, so I'm going to be hella bored today.

                                That's always fun! We're gearing up for Thanksgiving here, so no rocking the boat or making any unnecessary changes to production stuff.

                                  Wait - you're imaging it - and then using autopilot to push software to it? Why not include that as part of your image?

                                      Maybe each system is different. It's pretty common that images can't contain all of the necessary software because what's needed is not universal and groups aren't large enough for individual images.

                                          We do have different models - there is an image for each model accordingly. Software is the same for each though.. Adobe Reader, Mitel, Teams, WatchGuard, ManageEngine, Trend, CarbonBlack.

                                          The annoyance is that ME, Trend and CB all are install post Domain join.

                                            We're prepared if he does. Snapshots and backups for the win, lol... but I'd rather not have to work over Thanksgiving. Had to do that a few years ago. Not fun.
