My machine was factory though. My only sin was using an old ISO because the ISO that shipped with my machine wasn't working with the product key on the back of it.

One of my many roles as the DSJB (Departmental Shit-Job Boy) is that I create the images used to load Windows on the industrial PC's in our products. All images are (obviously) not the same. I'm guessing that your old ISO was missing some critical piece of processor-specific stuff. At one time Windows had a HAL (hardware abstraction layer), part of the kernel, that tended to be customized for new processors. Since that time they've switched to a micro-kernel approach to things, but I imagine the need for processor-specific bits still exists. For future reference, it's conceivable that AMD has downloadable kernel bits that can be applied during a WinPE (Windows Pre-Installation Environment) session.honey the codewitch wrote: the ISO that shipped with my machine wasn't working with the product key
That is no surprise at all. Microsoft goes through activation schemes like other people go through toilet paper. It is incredibly easy to create a perfect Windows install image that will absolutely refuse to install with the product key hard-coded into the image. The end solution for us was to switch to deferred activation which in essence lets you use the machine unhindered until the first time it connects to the Internet. Since ours are never connected to the Internet, problem solved.

Yes! I feel better now, someone else has the same experience. I now have one of these macro thingies on my desktop which goes through the process of setting .html back to Chrome and .pdf back to Acrobat. As soon as I did that, of course, it stopped being hijacked. But I am ready.

I need to automate it, but it doesn't happen quite often enough for me to do so. Plus, I enjoy the occasional loud and obscenity-laden rant.

There are several critical problems using the current version of ReSharper in VS2019 v16.10. They are investigating and working on a fix.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-484415[^]
If you use R#, I would strongly recommend that you hold off on updating VS2019 until the fix is released.
Edit: The fix has now been released as version 2021.1.3.

That's me, always uninstall resharper when work install it on my machine! 
I thought it adds little functionality of its own while crippling VS own build-in refactoring tools.. 
|
|
|
|
|
I think it adds tremendous functionality, and I have been using it in a professional capacity since 2012.
but, I'm a weirdo, and like to go against the grain.

Same here. R#er makes VS even more of a pig than normal, but adds enough useful to me stuff to be worth it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have used R# off-n-on, and each time I end up uninstalling it as I find the way it bogs VS down is not a good price to pay for the functionality I like. YMMV

Thanks for the heads up!!

Thanks ! That probably explains why VS 16.10 has been suddenly going catatonic on me, not responding to kb or mouse.
I am now updating Rx to 2021.1.3

Sad to hear Bill... 
On another topic, I hope you re successfully using WinForm with the latest .NET Core by now?! 
Unless you already moved to .NET MAUI?!

Interesting, I have yet to try using any of the MS previews without experiencing such bugginess and limited functionality I was left nauseous until I quickly deleted their bloated code 
Win Core: where are the Controls ?
If you can set me on the rite path, Brother, I am all ears !
cheers, Bill

I read a few month ago they got every ting working I reckon...
Just for fun I created a new WinForm project (using .NET5) and it had a designer that jog some memory and it ran fine...
I can't say more with great certainty, I am more of a WPF/WinUI/Xaml person these days!

Oscitation is an enjoyable thing, but not as enjoyable as pandiculation, especially after just waking up.
