all I want to do is back up - as in uninstall - a limited number of products I have on a VM. I need a clean, virtuous Windows 10. I think it got laid by MS with a leaky protection device. It turns out that you have to uninstall applications in order (no order suggested by MS) or you just are unable.
Fool me once, shame one you....
With the increasing power pcs and laptops (redundant) represent, we need to completely move to virtual machines. I've been in the business for 40+ years, and MS has just gone down the crapper. They assume virgin machines. Then come the updates.
Just do it. Microsoft does it to you.

Can always create granular snapshots, one for each app you've installed, using a shared resource for data that won't be affected. Granted, the caveat being that it'll have to be done sequentially so random uninstalls can't happen. But, by the sound of a clean, virtuous Win10, you should at least have one snapshot created right after a fresh install on a VM - always.

Would it not be easier to just make a new VM?

My habit is to make a snapshot immediately after installing the OS. Periodically I update it with OS updates. In most cases, that takes care of "works on my machine"[^] situations.

We get older, but movie actors/actresses in those movies stay forever young. What about a deep-fake that ages them as we viewers also get older!

...and change the script so the character then says "I'm getting too old for this"?
We already have those. They're called sequels.

I agree
Why look at women, if you can have a deep fake where they always young?
It's not like we want to see them age, like, being HUMAN.

I'm not getting older. It's the rest of the world that seems to be full of younger and younger people. So weird.

I find it "hilarious" that people who have found a "solution" on ChatGPT (or whatever), then come here to "get it running".

They don't call it "artificial" intelligence for nothing.

So far it has only lived up to the first part of it's name.

The machine provides the artificial intelligence.
Its users provide the natural stupidity.

Chatting isn't coding. GPT does a lot, but I never heard about a project completed by it. Would you fly on a Jumbo driven by CHATgpt?
It's A, but not I. Means it is artificial but not intelligent, it just reproduces what it been fed. It's fed the internet and can give the illusion of intelligence by repeating. It isn't.
According to ChatGPT I'm a youtuber. Go look up my youtube achievements if you really need arguments.

Humans did. We flew a commercial airliner over the Oekraine. The Dutch were not amused when shot down, but it failed to be a red flag. It flew over contested territory and got shot down, as it deserved.
Go ahead and flame me.
ChatGTP isn't political. It is rational, and humans are mostly not.

I've witnessed some very intelligent people write buggy code - it's just part of what comes with writing code.

It boils down to money. It needs to ship fast.
That's not intelligent, that's greed. One of the cardinal sins.

Yes, it's the unwinnable battle between sales teams and developer teams.
When it comes down to it it's the sales that pay our wages so yes compromises are made with regards to testing.

There is no battle. There's only salesmen where there is a product to sell. Without the devs, no product, no sales. The better the product, the more sales.
