Windows Update 24H2 Query

Problem:

I have a question regarding the Windows Update 24H2 that is coming in September/October. What will happen if my hardware does not support this update? What I can already see is that my PC does not have an NPU processor. What happens when the update arrives? Will it be installed, or will the PC be unusable?

Resolution:

NPU stands for  Neural Processing Unit (NPU),it is a specialized processor designed to accelerate tasks related to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Unlike a general-purpose Central Processing Unit (CPU) that handles a wide range of tasks, NPUs are optimized for the specific computations involved in running artificial neural networks.

If your PC does not meet these requirements, your PC will still receive the update, but the new AI features requiring the NPU won’t be available.

You’ll continue using Windows 11 with the features you currently have.

Fixing 10.2.4.1 Security – Software Dependencies ( .net blazor maui 8.0) to Microsoft store

Problem:

I have published my application in store, recently update my maui blazor application 6.0 to 8.0 when I submit my msix package to store I am getting

10.2.4.1 Security – Software Dependencies Products may depend on non-integrated software (such as another product or module) to deliver primary functionality only as long as the additional required software is disclosed within the first two lines of the description in the Store. .NET

to resolve what I need to do?

Resolution:

The error message you’re encountering (10.2.4.1 Security – Software Dependencies) indicates that the Microsoft Store review process flagged your .NET MAUI Blazor application (updated from 6.0 to 8.0) because it likely depends on external software that isn’t directly included in your MSIX package.

To address this issue and ensure compliance with the Microsoft Store requirements, you need to clearly mention any dependencies, including the .NET runtime, within the first two lines of your app’s description.

Here’s an example of how you can modify your app’s description to comply with this requirement:

Refer to the Microsoft documentation on MSIX package requirements and dependencies: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/

Search online for specific guidance on including external dependencies in .NET MAUI Blazor MSIX packages (considering version compatibility).

PowerShell script to stop the SharePoint sign-in pop-up

Directly disabling the pop-up isn’t ideal due to security concerns and script reliability. However, here’s the script:

$ie = New-Object InternetExplorer.InternetExplorer.Application

$ie.Visible = $true

$ie.Navigate(“https://externalsharepointsite.com“)

# Wait for a specific amount of time for the pop-up to appear (adjust as needed)

Start-Sleep -Seconds 5

# Try to find the sign-in window by title or class name (replace with specific details if known)

$popup = $ie.ChildWindows | Where-Object {$_.Title -match “Sign In“}

# If found, close the window
if ($popup) {
  $popup.Close()
}

# Continue with your upload process
# …

The Where-Object section depends on the specific title or class name of the pop-up window. You might need to adjust this based on the actual SharePoint site’s implementation.
