A couple win11 22h2 PCs at work that this has happened to, seemed to be bugged with "end of service" Windows update error and refused to update to 23h2 or 24h2 without just wiping and reinstalling it...

Stay safe! When my gf and I visited Disneyland back in September we could see the wildfires from the ferriswheel in the California adventure park, but those were like 40 miles away or something (pic below was from the 10x zoom on my S22)

Finally got around to swapping the thermal paste and pads on my MSI GE66 Raider laptop last night, and I'm glad I did! The 2 pics below were the stock paste and pads, and I think theres some scorchmarks where the CPU and GPU touch the heatsink 😳

Even more fun when it says it's successful, but then you reboot into the bios afterwards and it looks like this

Added a $6 Thermalright contact frame to my 2 year old 13900K and went from 95⁰C on an all core load to 82⁰C (both under an Arctic 360mm LF2 AIO)
