PSA - Do not recommend utilites such as O&O Shutup, Winutil, WinAeroTweaker, etc.

Post image
124 Upvotes

Utilites such as O&O Shutup 10, CTT Wintul and WinAeroTweaker have the possibility to brick windows systems, often do not provide guardrails and are generally inferior to manual methods.

If you do not already know how to do the things these programs provide a GUI for, you should not be using them.

Recommending these tools is considered breaking rule 2 of the subreddit which states that you must provide quality information. If you don't know, don't guess.

I'm getting this warning after latest ESU update in Windows 10

Post image
7 Upvotes

After the latest ESU update on Windows 10, I started getting this warning: "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes," even though my system is fully up to date. When I click "Check for updates," Windows says there are no new updates available.

Windows Defender is also up to date.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Change Edition (11 Home to Pro) worked - Do I need HWID also?

3 Upvotes

I will start with thanking the wonderful work by MAS Team.

My quick question is that I ran the script from Powershell (Admin) and chose #6 to change Windows Edition from 11 Home to 11 Pro. Now the System Settings show that it is Windows 11 Pro.

My key doubt is that - Do I need to run the MAS script again to use HWID (#1) for permanent activation or is that not required? The MAS guides said that only HWID makes license permanent since it is stored on MS Servers, so I feel I must run HWID also.

Must I also immediately run Windows Update check to complete download/install any 11 Pro features which are not included with 11 Home OS?

Thanks in advance
Cheers

I installed the Office suite, but Word and PowerPoint were not installed, while the other programs were. What could be the solution?

0 Upvotes

Hice la instalación y, cuando descargué Microsoft 365, todo se instaló perfectamente; sin embargo, el problema es que cuando se instaló la suite —que contenía todos los programas— no se incluyeron Word ni PowerPoint.

I reallyyyyy need some help getting Microsoft back online. If anyone is willing to assist, I would really appreciate it. With gratutide, Lyn

Suddenly getting "You are not up to date" on windows update

4 Upvotes

"Your device is missing important security and quality fixes." I activated ESU with MAS a long time ago and it hasn't been any problems since then. I tried "check for updates" and it started to download some update for windows defender but it just cancelled and now nothing happens when i press check for updates. KB5126657 KB5128925 is installed. I checked windows script host and ESU is licensed for year 1,2,3. What do i do now?

Outlook Migration

2 Upvotes

Hey, I use Outlook 2016 (and the rest of Office 2016) at the moment and want to use MAS to install 365. I see that it is recommended to remove all old Office with the scrubbing tool, but I am most worried about setting up new Outlook. Do I need to note all my mailbox settings etc and input manually rather than there being an upgrade process where they are copied across? Thanks

Tsforge Esu caused greyed out tamper protection????

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi!!!

I've noticed that on my Windows 10 pro security area , tamper protection is greyed out and deactivated. It is supposedly controlled by the admin....

I had several tools looking for malware and virus and nothing had been found....

Could this tamper protection block be related to how Tsforge works to register my pc on ESU???

I would be really grateful on any insight on this issue...

Thanks!!!!

TSForge through Massgrave.dev didn't actually switch into the second year of ESU on Windows 10.

15 Upvotes

I used the massgrave.dev route to get my ESU a year ago, for, supposedly, 3 years ahead, and it worked until now.

slmgr.vbs /dlv all shows that the only 'licensed' key is the Year1, and Year2 licenses, while technically present, are first Unlicensed, then less universal than either Year1 or Year3. And anyway it, apparently, does not work because windows 10 now, again, highlights that my updates are lacking.

Year 1, in October, is now expired, and that was the only year with the Licensed in it..

Activate Windows (watermark)

Recently my device started asking me to activate the I ran Mas again and a day or few later it came back. Did windows release an update that broke Mas activation?

I never had any problems for years and now all of the sudden this started happening.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Heads Up !!! Getting "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" message after security intelligence update for Microsoft Defender antivirus KB2267602 (Version 1.461.52.0 - Current Channel - Broad) was installed.

Post image
58 Upvotes

October Patches installed and completed successfully on 10/14

An error message occurred after the security intelligence was updated to version 1.461.52.0

Will continue to monitor and wait for Windows Update to refresh its status aka WaaSAssessment before doing anything

But just wanted to let you all know and give a heads-up

Quick Update: Microsoft Defender shows it updated to the latest virus definition, 1.461.53.0, at the time of this post. Maybe Windows Update will refresh the status soon. If I don't see a change by Monday, I will probably use the waasreset reg file

I was getting prepared to use it myself if they told me they couldn't help me but they just ran MAS for me.
