wow.
The credentials are not revoked when restarting a machine ?

Depends: if you hibernate or sleep, then probably not unless you log off and log in again. And since most people have "auto logout" disabled to save effort ...

Good to know. I'm the only one likely to access my machine, as I live and work out of the same place.
That said, I've been known to angrily turn my machine off the bad way when it misbehaves. I know I'm not really "punishing" it, more myself, but it still feels cathartic.

Similar, but unrelated...
My first PC (1992) had the option to set a password in the BIOS... but it only worked on a cold boot. You could do a warm boot to bypass it when prompted for the password.

Wait, what?
Boot from nothing, get prompted, Ctrl-Alt-Del, no prompt?
It takes a special sort of genius to come up with that.
I've had BIOSes that had options to set a password, but I've never bothered with them. Good to know they're utterly pointless.

Pressed the restart button... no prompt.

If a desktop then it means power outage would do the same.

I am not rigorous in this but I do see a lot of PC cases with lock ports. Attach a cable lock to it and a heavy desk. Then less risk unless it is a targeted theft.

I love solving problems using template metaprogramming. It's probably a bad thing, because I tend to gravitate toward it unless I stop myself.
In this case, I have a good reason for it. I need to do color model conversions at compile time.
A pixel has channels, like Red Green and Blue, or Hue Saturation Value, or Y U V, etc
It may also have a metachannel of sorts called an alpha channel.
It might even have no-op channels that do nothing but take up space (for in memory padding)
The presence of no-op channels and alpha channel makes things sort of complicated when determining the color model.
I have
rgb_pixel<16>::has_channel_names<channel_name::R, channel_name::G, channel_name::B>::value
For example (which resolves to true in the above case) for determining the color model - RGB as above in this case.
In order to be more robust, I need to have a different version of that template like, has_color_model or something.
But also, it's a tricky problem to solve with templates. That's what I like.
Sane people play sudoku.
Solved it. Not so bad, because I have other helpers.
template <typename PixelType,typename... ChannelNames> class is_color_model_inner_impl;
template<typename PixelType,typename ChannelName,typename... ChannelNames>
class is_color_model_inner_impl<PixelType,ChannelName,ChannelNames...> {
using chidx = typename PixelType::template channel_index_by_name<ChannelName>;
public:
constexpr static const bool value = (-1!= chidx::value) &&
PixelType::template channel_by_index_unchecked<chidx::value>::color_channel &&
is_color_model_inner_impl<PixelType,ChannelNames...>::value;
};
template<typename PixelType>
class is_color_model_inner_impl<PixelType> {
public:
constexpr static const bool value = true;
};
template <typename PixelType,typename... ChannelNames> class is_color_model_impl {
public:
constexpr static const bool value = sizeof...(ChannelNames)==PixelType::color_channels && is_color_model_inner_impl<PixelType,ChannelNames...>::value;
};

Maybe has_channel_channels?  (But kinda serious.)

I ended up going with is_color_model<> which makes perfect sense in my library's vernacular where a color model is a composition of color channels with particular names.

When they rewrote Windows explorer for Win 11, they clearly gave the job to the office junior, who had no idea what the previous version (matured for decades in the warm heat of actual usage) was capable of. And they didn't bother to find out because adding tabs was clearly a much more interesting use of their time.
And today I notice they have put something back: you can now drop files onto parts of the address bar to copy / move files to the parent folder (for example) or onto the folder list on the left!
Taken 'em long enough to put back a useful function, but I'm happy they finally did.

Oh I've missed that particular feature greatly!
I've just got to wait for our instance to catch up ... :tapping fingers:, :tapping foot:

So have I - the tabs are still useless because you can't drop onto tabs, but ... maybe in a decade they'll think of that.

Still on Win10 here... are you telling me that in Win11 you couldn't (until now) drag/drop directly onto the folder (treeview) panel? That's absolutely crazy! I even have links to FTP sites so that I can just drag-drop up to FTP (without having to open the FTP folder and get the file list, which takes foreeeeever).
That said, I currently (starting a week or so ago) have an issue where if I right-click anything in explorer (to access anything on the context menu) it takes a good 30 seconds to open... I'm assuming a 3rd party tool (e.g. SodaPDF, Notepad++, PowerISO or something) is broken... nothing updated for a while. Except.. yes a Windows update, 13th June. doh...

I had that as well - lasted about a week, but suddenly went away. I thought it was doing a "proper reboot" of my system that cured it, but probably not.

I had an issue like that for a long while… then I found that one of the short cuts I rarely used referenced my previous system which was off network!
Updated the shortcut to fix it.

Strange. I could've sworn Kaspersky got banned at least half a decade ago.
Or maybe that was "the US government", as opposed to "the US" in general...?
I'm tempted to suggest that while they're at it, they should ban the sale of all antivirus software (since, according to most industry pundits, the one built into Windows is now, and has been, "good enough" for a long time...but then I suppose MS would become complacent.
