Never seen that happen myself, and I use VS extensively. What type of file are you editing (.htm, .aspx, whatever)?

I seldom copy and paste code but I tried to copy and paste the entire code for a form
Don't ask WHY I am a novice I am using VS 2019 V 16.7.5 VB.Net project
A long time ago I would just use MS Notepad and would always get errors with my simple
SQLite statements So I would rewrite them line for line and character then they would execute fine
OK so this does not answer your question it is way above my pay grade ha ha
TODAY I use Sublime Text 2 I paste my copy of code into Sublime and move it to a new project where I am trying to fix an unrelated issue. The code was saved while it was living in Sublime so open the file and copy and paste into VS No Issues Someday I will learn how to move the Form and all the Controls

Hmmm, I wonder if this explains strange problems we've seen from time to time where we paste code into MS SQL Server Mgt Studio's editor for a query and it looks fine to the eye, but gives a syntax error, and then when you retype it it all works. Next time I see it, I'll dig deeper.

It sounds like the same problem. I feel bad for you, but good that I'm not the only one.

From the original CNet article[^] (no clue why... OK, I know why MSN re-wraps the articles, but I don't like it)
File-sharing updates
Annoying notifications
Start menu ads
Targeted ads from third-party apps
Cortana 'getting to know you'
Apps running in the background
All the syncing
Automatic updates
Personally, I'd probably pick 'Automatic updates', but I've yet to have problems with those (on this machine). Most of them are pretty 'meh'. Oh, 'File-sharing updates' could end up pretty bad. Sure. Nuke that one.

"Hide extensions for known file types". Maybe this exists to reduce confusion in people who don't know what a file extension is? Anyway it sucks, it's one of the first things I change on a new PC. Nothing goes wrong if you leave it enabled, at least not necessarily, but file extensions are important. This setting in its default state makes "not_a_virus.txt.exe" look like "not_a_virus.txt" in Explorer, which could be dangerous.

I concur. As well show hidden and system files.

All the telemetry stuff. Which this article doesn't mention at all. Oh, hey, the article is on MSN...why would they want to bring the actually important stuff to anyone's attention?

sorry, I am wondering if everybody paid attention to this post.
I won't post such link next time.

You seem to be disappointed with the responses you got. I'm wondering why. I think you got decent responses (as far as the lounge goes), and I pointed out what is, in my not-so-humble opinion, the actually important thing the article glossed over (so yeah, I did read it), in order to keep the conversation going.
I'm genuinely interested in understanding what sort of outcome you were expecting.

I browsed this article too and find out I have not disable anything so far. I don't worry about it since I have confidence on my internet security.
the intention of my post is to get some sense of what kind of people are frequently in this lounge...

Right. Most of those settings mentioned in the article are either things that are pretty obvious I would've gone over them already (as opposed to the more obscure things, which would make the article a lot more useful), or completely immaterial.
But being on the MSN site, the target audience is clearly the unwashed masses...not people to be directed through registry or policy settings, for example.

your comments are valid: it inspires me to follow the same suit when I configure my application default. would it incur more critics from end users?

Ever since I've been been targeting SQL with my code generator I realized that there's another reason to do it this way.
I let the computer write the code I'd be ashamed of having written, so I don't need to shower afterward.

It's not.
And why should you be the one hiding?

Because it's easier than having to vigorously deny that I code nekkid.

There used to be a band that played on the same circuits I did called "Buck Nekkid and the Bare-Bottom Boys." They played what I would call Comedic Rock. I think there still a few videos of them on the tube.
