This replaces the Patch Tuesday KB5101650 update on certain Dell computers that suffered battery drain, poor performance, overheating, and unexpected shutdowns due to the patch.
Microsoft: Some Dell PCs shut down after recent Windows updates
Microsoft is blocking this month's Windows 11 security updates on some Dell devices because they are causing shutdowns and performance issues.
Various articles note that the patch may apply itself to non-Dell computers.Bleeping Computer said:
Bleeping Computer is becoming a must-visit around the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Directv stream making me angry
Trying to watch the NASCAR race and when TNT 'goes to commercials' they overlay some stupid 'local' commercials. Yes all I have to do is switch channels and go back to the regular feed but the issue is Directv isn't 'going to commercials'.
Yes they are showing commercials but they are doing the split screen so you can still see the race just not hear the audio.
I get they (TNT) like to give you 'local commercial crap' but don't do it during the race when it's a split screen!!!

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone with deep Hopper 3 experience can help solve a mystery.
I currently own several Hopper 3 receivers, and I've noticed something interesting:
I've already confirmed that:
I also found that some Hopper 3 units have the external Remote Antenna connector, while others don't, although I understand that's for RF, not IR.
What makes this even more confusing is that I've seen references suggesting that unpairing the RF remote may re-enable IR reception on some Hopper 3 units, but I haven't been able to reproduce that consistently.
So my questions are:
I'm not asking how to pair an RF remote. I'm specifically trying to determine why two Hopper 3 receivers of the same model behave differently with infrared commands.
This discussion is purely for educational purposes and out of technical curiosity. It all started after a friend asked me why two Hopper 3 receivers of the same model behaved differently with IR remotes, and I realized I couldn't find a definitive technical explanation. I'm simply trying to better understand how these receivers work.
Any technical information, service documentation, engineering notes, or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm hoping someone with deep Hopper 3 experience can help solve a mystery.
I currently own several Hopper 3 receivers, and I've noticed something interesting:
- Some Hopper 3 units receive infrared (IR) commands with no problem.
- Other Hopper 3 units, same model, completely ignore IR commands.
- All of them work perfectly with RF voice remotes (52.0 / 54.x).
I've already confirmed that:
- The IR remote itself works.
- The IR commands are correct (verified with a learning remote).
- The non-working Hopper responds normally over RF.
- Factory reset and software updates do not change the behavior.
I also found that some Hopper 3 units have the external Remote Antenna connector, while others don't, although I understand that's for RF, not IR.
What makes this even more confusing is that I've seen references suggesting that unpairing the RF remote may re-enable IR reception on some Hopper 3 units, but I haven't been able to reproduce that consistently.
So my questions are:
- Is IR hardware present in every Hopper 3, or were there hardware revisions without an IR receiver?
- Is IR controlled by firmware?
- Is there a hidden Diagnostics or Service menu that enables or disables IR reception?
- Has anyone seen different behavior between different software versions?
- Is there any known procedure to force a Hopper 3 back into IR mode?

I watched the three main soaps on ABC back in my 20s because I worked grave yards stocking and would watch them on my VCR in the afternoons when I got up after sleeping in the day. When I went to a dept. manager in the mornings, my buddy from the other department at Safeway and I would often go to eat at Mr. Ghatti's Pizza on our lunch break and they had a big box screen TV in the 80s we could watch the soap on which was All My Children at noon. "Tad the Cad" was our favorite soap guy. He was the shampoo guy at his birth mother's beauty shop and he seduced both mother Marion and her daughter Liza at the same time. Loved it when they both found out about the other.
Talk about "Love in the Afternoon" with Fireworks!
The best I could do was remember the name of the soap everyone was watching (All My Children). You could rip my finger nails out and I couldn't give you character names or plot info.I watched the three main soaps on ABC back in my 20s because I worked grave yards stocking and would watch them on my VCR in the afternoons when I got up after sleeping in the day.

Mama Foxbat was big into soaps, "Ryan's Children" was one I remember, and a young Kate Mulgrew before she got her Captain's pips.
Erica Kane, that should have been a gimme.The best I could do was remember the name of the soap everyone was watching (All My Children). You could rip my finger nails out and I couldn't give you character names or plot info.
I have a question. I am having jittering/stuttering across the entire TP spectrum. I'm seeing it at 4060 and 4100 and even higher. Is this a normal thing. I would have thought you would only see it on the lower frequencies closer to what was taken from Cband a few years back. This problem crept up about 3-4 months ago, and before i just throw money at the problem by investing in a filtered LNBF, i want to do a bit of checks and balance with you folk.
My stuttering appears as often as every 20-30 seconds and sometimes it doesn't happen but every 20 minutes or so. I seem to have solid locks on the signal. This is on a smaller 8' Solid Cband dish. I swapped out a different LNBF. Same result.
If the advice is to get a new filtered LNBF, would I be looking at the Titanium RED or BLUE band pass filter?
