I blew up the ThinkPad X12 Detachable Tablet this weekend. Instead of a repair, I decided to opt for a clean install. Interesting things happened; deets follow. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/x12-tab...
Tail end of Garlin's Check_UEFI-CA2023 script after all current updates and revocations get applied. Cheers!
OK, then I'm currently in Nerdvana. I've achieved Secure Boot success. Here's what that looks like: #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

I just learned -- and confirmed -- that the Windows Security app now flags Secure Boot status on all #Windows11 PCs. I can't understand why it shows 2 diff "status=OK" messages. Anybody got clue? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/windows...
Under heading "Secure boot" you see text that reads "Secure Boot is on and all required certificate updates have been applied. No further certificate changes are needed." -- or whatever your actual status might be.
In Beta and Canary builds, you can already see the Secure Boot info that MS plans to roll out generally on Patch Tuesday next week. Here 'tis! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
Checking over my ThinkPad X12 Detachable Tablet, I observe a too-familiar BEX64 error. Time to roll the fingerprint reader driver back! Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/rolling...
About page shows that version v1.0.26.0 is out and running. Found 3 old drivers on Flo6, and removed all of them!
Driver Store Explorer (RAPR.exe) finally goes production: version 1.0.26.0 is out! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
Status window from MVP site showing I submitted my next MVP application on April 1, 2026. Wish me luck!
I just submitted my MVP (Windows) application for 2026-2027. Interesting to look over all I've done and written in the past year (April 2025-March 2026) and think about where to go from here. Windows-World remains my avocation and occasional obsession. Wish me luck! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
Because Secure Boot was not enabled when Windows 10 was first intalled on Flo6 and RyzenOfc in 2020, I can't turn SAC back on in 2026.
Sure, you can turn Smart App Control (SAC) back on on your PC after KB5086672 -- but ONLY if you clean installed your OS with Secure Boot turned on from the get-go. That leaves Flo6 and RyzenOfc out, alas. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
OK then, an unexpected login prompt on Flo6 this morning tells me an OOB update has come and gone. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/oob-kb5...
I saw it. I wanted it. I can't have it, though -- at least, not as far as I can tell. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/dude-wh...

Magician shows an alert to report "A new version of Magician is available" via the updater. Done!
And now, Magician is offering 9.0.1. That didn't take very long at all. Cheers! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
My WindowsLatest story about Secure Boot got a plug from PCWorld.com. Check it out: www.pcworld.com/article/3102... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
TechPowerUp proudly proclaims Samsung Magician 9.0.1 is out. The internal updater says 9.0.0 is still current. Let me explain why this happens... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/magicia...
My Secure Boot saga hits the big time: See my story at WindowsLatest for LOTS of details. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/30/w...
Even tho GPU installer hangs during install, it finished up successfully (and installed Bluetooth updates as well). Popped up when I killed DSA.
DSA fires off Intel Graphics update installer, then loses the connection to its own UI. When I kill DSA, the completion window pops up and it's all done, all good. Odd... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz
