Winders 10 did some sort of update last week. I ignored the reboot message as long as I could but it did it anyway whilst I slept yesterday. Stoopid thing wanted me to start using MS Edge or something. Anyway, Folding@Home doesn’t work anymore...

I don’t twitter or the like and their homepage shows no outage. Client screen just keep showing a “Connecting” attempt. I almost did a reinstall but the “Data” checkbox prompted me to inquire here first. Any suggestions?

Cute kitty fer yer time: Carp!!?! There would be one if Kinja would let me post it.

[UPDATE} Reboot didn’t but reinstall (sans uninstall) is working. Thank you.

Yea, posting imaes is carp! Usually they don’t load at all via all 3 methods offered. On the rare occasion that they do, there is nowhere to attribute them that I can see. Fuck Kinja!

To add the photo you have to add the copyright info to them now.

As far as the issue you are having, I would reboot if you haven’t already, and then reinstall the application if a reboot doesn’t fix it.

Microsoft once lost an anti-trust lawsuit because of BS like this. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp. ) I was surprised when their update forced the installation of the new browser and how aggressive it was in proclaiming itself. That isn’t my folding box, so it didn’t affect FAH for me.

Their deep integration is getting annoying. At the previous update, they wanted to make a connection between my personal laptop and my work laptop and enforce company management on my personal system. The only connection between the two systems was the occasional login to my work email via the browser.

It seems like latest MS leadership has forgotten the events of 20 years ago and are due for another correction.

I'm surprised Dropbox hasn't sued them over OneDrive integration.

It will all come to a head again and there will be a flurry of lawsuits.

I kind of hope so. Someone needs to put Microsoft in their place again.

I ran into the issue with attribution tools missing when trying to post from chrome . I restarted Chrome and tried to post again. The tools came back.
