Years ago I complained about Windows creating 39+ page-zeroing pages on 96-core machines, which made memory zeroing much slower. The vast majority of the CPU time was consumed by fighting over a lock.

I understand that Canadian officials can't blatantly tell Trump off. That makes perfect sense. But this TV commercial thing should also show you that there's no point in trying to work with him at all. He's an angry toddler. He can't be negotiated with. Find other trade partners and allies.

In the US, you have ICE agents. In Canada, we have NICE agents. This agent was part of the โThis Hour Has 22 Minutesโ Canadian television show. He was interviewing Americans and letting them pose for a Canadian passport ID. People were getting a kick out of it and having fun. Good on you Canada! ๐จ๐ฆโค๏ธ

So this has driven me nuts. If you set Default File Associations via Group Policy (I assume Intune policy as well) it is so slow to apply. It does appear Microsoft starts applying it asynchronously, but will block logons until it completes.

During your troubleshooting adventure, it's common that you want to filter to all write access. That's very easy with Process Monitor. You can just filter to Category is Write. That will work for file and registry activities.
