Another Intel ME Security Flaw Discovered
22 Nov 2017
When I switch a desktop PC from wired GbE to wireless following the Win10 Fall Creators Upgrade, failing WiFi gets driver fix as a consequence.
The predefined Default Switch makes Hyper-V networking dead simple in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update aka Version 1709.
As details surrounding another Intel ME security flaw discovered emerge, it's time to grab a detection tool. If you're affected a BIOS fix is needed.

Bad RAM Nixes 1709 Upgrade
01 Nov 2017
Be forewarned: After upgrading or clean installing Fall Creators Update, admins may need to sestore Win10 Private Network status, too.
In figuring out why an ostensibly proper driver won't install in Device Manager, I compile a list of Realtek HD Audio Driver Tips.
Full Flash Update's FFUTOOL.exe works with DISM to apply Windows images to target drives (and PCs) faster and more reliably than either WIM or VHD.
Because a new Win10 means new MCT too, the safest way to use the Media Creation Tool is always to download a fresh copy.
In looking at Win10 Desktop Marketshare Nov17 I see two things: 1. Netmarketshare appears to under-report Win10 numbers, and 2. Win10 should pass Win7 very soon.
Those using deployment tools that automate Windows Update checks may see bogus Win10 Printer update alerts for PDF and XPS printer drivers.
When bad RAM nixes 1709 upgrade, finding and removing the failed memory module sets things back to rights.
