HOW TO Microsoft Windows 11

Last Windows Update generates issues

Windows often shows updates that are in Preview that can be installed and sometimes could have unknown issues/bugs.

If you installed a Windows update and then your system is not working properly the easiest solution is to unistall it.
This happened yesterday with the Preview update KB5028245 in Windows 11 that made my screen blinking.
How to proceed in these cases?

Solution:

How to uninstall Windows Updates via Command Prompt

Steps:

  1. Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete if you are working in your pc
    or Ctrl+Alt+End if you are connected in RDP
  2. Click on Task Manager
  3. Navigate to the menu File -> Run new task
  4. Write cmd and tick the checkbox Create this task with administrative provileges.
  5. Run the command wmic qfe list to retrieve the list of latest updates installed and indetify the one to be uninstalled
  6. Run the command wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:<KB ID> like for example:
    wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:5028245

Visual Studio Enterprise subscription access level in DevOps using Alternate account

Summary:

  1. You have an MSDN license assigned to you
  2. You want to use yout MSDN license to access to DevOps with a different account

Let’s first verify that actually you have an MSDN license assigned to you, connect to the following link using an Incognito window from your browser: https://my.visualstudio.com/Subscriptions
In this page you can check if you have a subscription active, in my case I can see Visual Studio Enterprise (MPN).

At the bottom you can setup an Alternate account, an email different from the one assigned to the Subscription that can benefit to the same access, including Azure DevOps.

Issue:

Visual Studio Subscriber access level not working

If you have setup an Alternate account after the same email has been used to add a DevOps user you will face an issue because DevOps will be not able to check you have a Subscription and you will be assigned as Stakeholder with limited access.

Solution:

Remove and re-add the user from DevOps.
