I suspect Microsoft was getting such flack about this, they decided to make it basically automatic and no cost. 00:25:53 Bea: my windows requires a restart 00:26:21 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Huxe AI https://play.google.com/store/search?q=huxe&c=apps https://apps.apple.com/us/app/huxe/id6743417504?platform=iphone 00:26:57 Natalie: Same for me: After the ESU enrollment, my laptop login was changed to signing in with my MS account. I had to chang the login back to my local account. 00:27:28 Alan German (OPCUG Meeting Coordinator): @Richard I see your hand up. I will follow-up once Chris has finished this topic. 00:30:01 Tom Trottier: That isa PERSONAL newscast 00:31:53 E O'Driscoll: Huxe! Something of interest to me. 00:32:28 Darlene: Richard, that happened on my windows 11 machine when I first set it up! How do I get them back off the cloud? 00:33:30 Harvey Hope: Unlink from your PC 00:34:27 Bob Herres: Thank You ✅ Huxe AI -very interesting ... 👍 00:35:42 Natalie: I had OneDrive turned off. Nothing changed with the ESU on my computers. 00:36:14 Darlene: Thanks Chris. The good news is there is no data in the pictures folder. 00:36:19 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: DDoS Botnet Aisuru https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/10/ddos-botnet-aisuru-blankets-us-isps-in-record-ddos/ 00:38:12 Tom Trottier: "Extortion" 00:39:20 Margery: Can cellphones be part of that? 00:40:34 Ed Morawski: registration is not a new thing. Apple has that, I hear 00:40:58 Natalie: The irony is that "aisuru" is the verb :to love" in Japanese. 00:41:14 E O'Driscoll: Who is behind aisuru, I wonder. 00:41:15 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Linux Desktop Security https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqXK8zUfDtA 00:42:14 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Who is behind aisuru..." I don't think it is supecte to be a nation state attacker. So just the run of the mill criminals, I guess 00:44:39 Albert: My laptop is not Win 11 compatible. Can I upgrade from Win 10 to Win 11? 00:45:37 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "My laptop is not Win..." There are ways to bypass the hardware requirement we have talked about before at Q&A. I don't actually recommend that. For now at least, just go with the ESU for another year of updates 00:45:48 Phil: My modem for Bell Fibe needed a software update, done tonight remotely by Bell, The tell I needed it was weak signal strength and poor connectivity. 00:45:59 Tom Trottier: Xmas party? 00:46:37 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: ̶https://maps.app.goo.gl/8rdtztXyvbHVzVCt9 00:47:20 Alan German (OPCUG Meeting Coordinator): Replying to "My laptop is not Win..." Check OPCUG.s website for Past Meetings. The September meeting focused on Windows 10 EOL and the various options available. 00:51:33 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Sysinternals https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ 01:04:17 Steve Parker: Suspend is a good way to stop a process it won't let you delete 01:05:40 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Suspend is a good wa..." Shouldn't you be able to kill the process? I would think if you can't kill a process, you probably can't suspend it either. But that's just my guess. I have never tried to suspend a process I can't kill 😁 01:07:42 Harvey Hope: Also useful: You can use Process Explorer to find which files are currently being used by processes and Autoruns to find orphaned entries in the registry, startup locations, and other system configurations. 01:08:11 Glen: Is there a way to submit file on disk to Virus Total by clicking on file name using Sysinternals 01:08:14 Bob Herres: Wow Tom! 👏 Awesome Job, “Sysinternals” is Super powerful! * I Love your visuals w / highlighters and pointers! — Brings content to life! 01:08:54 Tom Trottier: Often viruses use piece of open source software to do stuff 01:08:56 Alan German (OPCUG Meeting Coordinator): @Richard Same as last time! 01:09:11 Tom Trottier: Reacted to "Wow Tom! 👏 Awesome..." with 👍🏼 01:10:01 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: the sz development https://the-sz.com/products/ 01:10:32 Tom Trottier: Replying to "Is there a way to su..." Yes, by right click in process monitor. I forget how to send file without it running. There is probable a utility/addon to File Explorer to right click to send 01:12:06 Serge-Érik Thériault: WSCC (https://www.kls-soft.com/wscc) helps sort through Sysinternals and other utilities packages. 01:13:07 Tom Trottier: By using a free tool called VT Hash Check, you can integrate VirusTotal right inside the Windows File Explorer. After installing VT Hash Check you would be able to right-click on any file and choose Check File Hash from the context-menu in order to scan it using VirusTotal. The first time you try to use it, it will ask you to enter an API key. 01:13:10 Tom Trottier: https://www.trishtech.com/2017/10/integrate-virustotal-in-windows-file-explorer-with-vt-hash-check/ 01:13:41 Tom Trottier: You have to get an API key from virus total to use 01:14:07 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Is there a way to su..." And of course, you can always do it manually through the VirusTotal website. But submitting from ProcMon or AutoRuns is certainly fast and easy. 01:14:19 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Fsearch (Linux clone of "Everything") https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch 01:15:46 Tom Trottier: Sysinternals book: https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/show/928231026 01:16:07 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Sysinternals book: h..." Cool! I will check it out. 01:17:08 Bob Herres: ❤️Note: Re Everything Discovery Credit, Many years ago Goes to>: Alan German Duncan Petrie & Bryce Wightman! 01:17:23 Bob Herres: TY /A big shout-out to Alan, Chris, and Tom! 01:17:31 Carol Pearson: Thanks 01:17:38 Darlene: Thank you for the usual great information and updates. 01:17:39 Allison: Thank you! 01:17:43 Rosemary: Thank you! 01:17:43 Gail Eagen OPCUG Secretary: Thanks! 01:18:18 Phil: Great Presentations! 01:18:22 Serge-Érik Thériault: Thanks! 01:18:54 E O'Driscoll: Great session tonight.
