RISC-V codifies this trap-n-emulate. The problem is that they are 100x to x500 times slower. Even for rare instructions this is a big hit.

And by rare I mean for applications, but the kernel itself might do them much more frequently, for example the scheduler has a interesting mix of instructions.

I managed to move to a newer win10 via an offline installer of sorts. When finally installing VS I opted out from copilot.

I think you can rerun the installer and remove it?

I was there a few weeks ago. Its an amazing place and I am coping by knowing that everyday in USA is more "exciting" than the previous one.
Like for example you can't get covid vaccines anymore. What could be more interesting that?

So landlocked!

I can't believe they did this again.

A version of this problem is what prevents you from upgrading from WinXP SP2 to anything newer.

Then a help page told me to upgrade via the windows store which failed to launch with a classic 0x800xxx error.

Which supposedly is fixed by enabling TLS1.3, which my Win10 did not have as an option. I believe windows update just swallows the error, while at least the store crashes.

In fact, the problem turned out to be that my Win10 was too old!

Not that at any point I was told so.

First I tried to install the newer dotNets: nope! installer said "not for your windows version"
So I tried to upgrade to a newer w10, but it windows update kept saying "up to date".

Or do you find MSI too hard to use ?

I am not the only one that finds TS dull!!
