Today, we’re releasing the first preview of x64 emulation for ARM64 devices to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel starting with the Build 21277. It can be installed on Windows 10 on ARM PCs by following the instructions as explained in this blog post.
On Tuesday, December 8th, Red Hat and CentOS announced the end of CentOS 8. To be specific, CentOS 8 will reach end of life at the end of 2021, 8 years ahead of schedule. To really understand what that means, and how we got here, it’s worth taking a trip down memory lane, and looking at how the history of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and IBM are intertwined.
Tab completion has accelerated the success of new and experienced PowerShell users for over a decade. New users get the benefit of discovery, seeing available cmdlets and parameters as options while interactively typing. Experienced users receive the benefit of acceleration, typing less while using the Tab key to quickly complete a command.

The traditional implementation of Workstation Pro relies on direct access to specific hardware features of the x86 microprocessor.
These features, generally called Intel VT or AMD-V, are also used by recent versions of Windows that support Hyper-V. Also, it is not possible to run traditional Workstation Pro on a Windows host with the Hyper-V capability enabled because some Windows features like the virtualization-based security (or VBS), are built on top of Hyper-V. Therefore, a VBS-enabled Windows host is also incompatible with traditional Workstation Pro.

We are thrilled to announce the Windows Package Manager preview!
If you’re already familiar with what a package manager is, feel free to skip this paragraph. If you’re still reading, you’re going to love this! A package manager is designed to help you save time and frustration. Essentially, it is a set of software tools that help you automate the process of getting software on your machine. You specify which apps you want installed, and it does the work of finding the latest version (or the exact one you specified) and installing it on your machine.
Just about every developer has wanted a native package manager in Windows. That day is finally here. You are going to be able to winget install your way to bliss. One of the best parts is that it is open source. I had to pinch myself when I was able to winget install terminal, and then winget install powershell, and then winget install powertoys. You get the idea, and If you do not see an app you use, just create a new manifest, and submit a pull request.

I’ve spent some time over the last few days getting my Windows Terminal setup in order. Hopefull you saw my recent post about backing up my settings.json file. I’ve also put together a few other simple PowerShell scripts that I use to make Windows Terminal even easier to use and manage.
Windows Terminal uses a defaults.json file that you can override with your own settings.json. Or put another way, the files are essentially merged with settings.json “winning” any conflicts. My challenge was wanting to know what is in the defaults file, especially with regards to keybindings. I wrote this very short script to launch the file.

When I need to troubleshoot a problem in Windows, the first things I ask my customer to provide are a Process Monitor trace and a network trace. Process Monitor is the second most downloaded tool from the Sysinternals toolkit. You can download it as part of the Sysinternals Suite. Sometimes you don't have access to the computer to run the tool interactively, or you don't want the end user seeing Procmon running on the computer. In the next post, I will show how you can acquire a Process Monitor trace from a remote computer.

When deploying Windows 10, many administrators do not use the standard image provided by Microsoft; rather, they customize it according to their own requirements. This includes the integration of updates, language files, and drivers. The free WIM Witch simplifies this process with a GUI.
