[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 960946"] After my wife left for work this morning, I looked at her laptop and noticed that since the update to Windows 11, the Controlled Folder Access does not show any warnings/blocks in the log. Should Microsoft finally have managed to make this feature suitable for average users? [SPOILER="CFA log 'laag' means low"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1634099723565.png"]261218[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] [SPOILER="My take on Windows11"] DOS A command base OS which was based on system 86-DOS which Bill licensed from Seatle Computer Products for only 25000 dollar and made him a Millionär Windows 3 and 3.1 Just a GUI upon 16 bits DOS, with partial 32 bits in it. Since most programs were still character based, it was a half baked user OS with a half baked user experience. Windows 95,98 and 2000 Windows 95 a fully graphical user interface based 32 bits operating system. A real innovation with a device manager and plug and play capabilities. Windows 98 was an update with better security, support for new devices and improved desktop features.

Windows 7 Microsoft got it right again and managed to release a good OS after a bad OS. In my memory I was as happy with Windows 7 as I was with Windows 95 and XP. Windows 8 and 8.1 This should be an OS for all devices, because Microsoft (planned) to expand to the tablet and mobile device market.
