Very true - Intel 8th gen and later[^], and whatever the equivalent for AMD.
Plus I imagine most of the Win7 machines out there don't have a TPM 2.0 chip.
I think the main upgrade path for most is a new machine.

This might be a way to keep a forced upgrade at bay. Just keep using a machine that can't support Weleven.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

If you're a Win7 diehard and installed it on new hardware it'll work. OTOH if you're that much of a W7 diehard that you've ignored 8 and 10 are you really going to give a single ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) about W11?

I am not a diehard because of windows 7, I just don't like to be forced to buy new hardware while everything was working perfectly on my machine.
I definitively ignored win 8 and 8.1 on purpose, because I didn't like it.
I had Win10 for a while in the old PC but it annoyed me so much that I went back to 7.
But although it still works well, there have been a couple of times where I didn't like some reactions while working... So I have bought new hardware.
Logically win 7 can't manage it properly and I am not really willing to invest a huge amount of time trying to tweak things so that it works properly.
I am running Win 10 in the new PC. I will have a fresh start, set everything up and do an image. Once Win 11 gets to SP1 I might consider checking it up, before... I don't think so.
I don't need to have the newest shiny hardware or software just for the sick of it. But once I decide to buy / do something I try to get something actual and with future perspective.

Researchers have bypassed Microsoft's emergency patch for the PrintNightmare vulnerability to achieve remote code execution and local privilege escalation with the official fix installed. As long as it doesn't break anything

Hey, cut the criticism; their engineers are working hard at making rounded corners. Get your priorities straight!

Yeah, well.. As soon as they master the art of the smoothly cut corner - their updates won't keep failing.

Easiest way I know of to disable it while still letting you start it up when you actually need it.

Probably couldn’t hurt to set it to run as an account with few perms as well (IMO)

Of course...
that patch came without new shiny icons, the system can't install it properly.

.NET 6 introduces new handy APIs that will make our development journey easier. Strangely, not the same list as the "Top 5" from the other day.
And I'm shocked that it took this long for them to create DateOnly and TimeOnly

And the ORM writers frantically start pounding away at the keyboard to ensure that those types are backed by SQL date and time types! And so the dominos fall.

There they go crapping on extension methods I wrote for myself...

Almost all of those new features crap on extension methods I've written.

And they still don't support the null propagation operator in expression trees.
I wish it was standard that as new expression syntax is added to C#/.NET, expressions using that new syntax are required to be supported in Expression Trees. Not that all providers should be required to implement immediately, but to make it possible for providers to support it.
Currently, it's like LINQ supports an (not clearly documented) subset of C#.

Sadly that most likely means more frameworks, more bloatware, more code that can't be scaled.
What? Me, cynical?

Just because you're cynical doesn't mean you're not right
