*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

Dells have a built in OS recovery tool now that downloads the latest image from the cloud.

Sorted it eventually using the terminal command, but ended up doing a second wipe and install and left it updating everything before attempting it. It was giving me red errors before about repositories and whatnot.

i keep forgetting how to do this, but there is supposed to be some decent 3rd party alternative(s) now to that official microsoft media creator usb tool.

whether it's within the latest rufus. or something else... maybe now i remember: there was some linux shell script can do on other platforms. maybe including macs too.

i also wonder if easier tool exists though as alternative to rufus (since that one is windows only). for example stuff like the rpi imager or balena etcher can on the other platforms. since relying on those shell scripts (that can perhaps break) are not always such robust alternative. than a properly maintained / dedicated modern program.

also since leaving windows before 11 for linux... i only had to make isos once so far (for win11). which wasn't hard on other platform (linux) but still was a while back now (1 year ago)... in case anything has changed.

and can i just say: still never understood the need for doing secure boot workaround. we just did a clean, fresh install from an iso --> burned to usb. and it never asked or flagged us anything about the wrong tpm version for this target machine here (eh, it was a fairly old broadwell era dell laptop, pretty behind intels official cut off supported platform generation). and it installed fine no worries.

but how about that windows 12 eh? isn't that one going to require tpm v3.0 i hear? haha
 
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to solve an issue with my Cumulus weather software?

After a tremendous amount of time and experiments.

I tried several variations of operating systems, and discovered that there is a bug with Windows 11 Home/Pro.
I did a fresh installation of Windows 10 Pro, and now everything is working perfectly with no errors.

These are the errors which I am getting on Windows 11 but not on Windows 10 Pro:

PHP[64]: Error uploading to realtimegauges.txt
PHP[64]: Error uploading to realtime.txt
PHP[64]: Error uploading to realtimegauges.txt - Exception Type: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
Message: An error occurred while sending the request.
Inner Exception...
Exception Type: System.Net.WebException
Message: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Does anyone know what is different in Windows 10 compared to 11 on the SSL/TLS secure channel? Or what is causing these errors?

Any ideas or information would be gratefully received.

Kind regards
Mike

Have you contacted the app developers support?

Hello GaryTheSnail, thank you for your reply to my message.

Yes, I have contacted support about this problem many times.

This is the last message from one of them.

Extremely interesting indeed. However if there really is a major incompatibility between Win11 and the nonsupported processors when using encryption algorithms, I would expect it to cause much more severe issues with all use cases regarding encryption, starting with https web browsing etc.
:?
It would be very interesting to be able to analyze a wireshark packet capture when the error happens, but it goes way beyond my debugging skills.

Wireshark packet capture software, goes way beyond my debugging skills as well.

I have recently bought a new computer, which is supported by Microsoft with Windows 11 already installed. However, the errors still appear.

This is the reason I have asked whether anyone has any idea, as to why the errors appear only on Windows 11.
 
Do you have a screenshot of when the error occurs?

I have it running on windows 11 but not sure what to test when your error occurs to replicate it.

it's running because I can access the web server on http://localhost:8998/ unless it's when on your side it's doing something with the data set.

I'm trying to get my head around what this software does.

EDIT: oh it looks like it's for connection to weather station, is that right?

3 possible potential reasons:

* remote server side ssl certificate has expired (lets encrypit is only 3 months now) --->you didnt post the url it's trying to reach in that quoted log output. but with that you can then look at the remote ssl/tls cert
* app is calling out to powershell underneath. however that has not yet been enabled to work on the new win11 install. ---> it is a manual step, some cmdline. not too hard to check on, and/or try blindly enabling
* other missing local certs chain of trust, or other problem with missing support pkg on win11 related to the required certs or functionality. such that the request ends up failing (which it doesn't on the win10 machine)

other possible ones / perhaps less likely to be (or harder to check / rule out):

* 4) also possible maybe problem or 'bug' in win11. (but the term 'bug' is being used quite loosely here, since it might be other source of misconfiguration or incompatibility)
* 5) you have applied some extra group policy or other security configurations. either yourself, or microsoft has done so on your behalf via other installed tools such as windows defender type settings etc.

can be other reasons too. but that was where my mind went to with this one.

Yes, it is connected to a Weather station and my website is My Website.
 
I have just had a reply from a Cumulus Forum member, here is the message.

I was getting the same, and other errors like this, several times an hour.

Since my host servers were upgraded, those errors do not occur any more, so I would say it's that it's not your side that has the issue.

Trying to get Hostpresto to do anything is like talking to a brick wall. Here is the last message that I received from them.

Hi Michael,

We're still only seeing successful requests this end from the IP you provided so it doesn't appear there's any errors on the hosting this end, I've checked the lowest level logs we have and I'm not seeing anything that would explain the error on the Windows server end. Unfortunately we can't debug the system doing the uploading as it's not a system we have control over.

If you could enable more verbose logging on your end that might help explain what is going on,

Kind Regards,
Nick
