My Win10Pro dev machine decided to reboot overnight without any warning to me TWICE in the past week, and it had me quite pissed off. Thankfully my code was all saved (or at least 99% of it), but admittedly, I often leave my VFP window open and pick up where I left off the next day.
As some of you may recall, I designed an app for managing my Beer League Hockey group (called the "Babs Hockey Fraternity" on Facebook--locations in two states now!), and initially, because it was so quick to get it up and going, I used a VFP DBC backend. I also use Mr. Chen's VFP 10 exclusively for that too. After a few crashes from VFP 10 corrupting the DBFs, I swapped out to the MariaDB backend instead. (I've been using MySQL/MariaDB since I saw Bob Lee's n-tier presentation at GLGDW back in 2003.)
Anyhooo.....did anybody else get a similar behavior recently, with your computer asking you if you wanted the free upgrade to Win 11?
I haven't seen anything of the sort but I'm not sure that either of my physical Windows 10 machines qualifies for the update.

I wonder how my Win10Pro machine would differ from yours?

Age perhaps. My desktop is a few years old as is my laptop so they both lack the TPM 2.0 support as well as at least the laptop sporting an unsupported processor.

I have updated to windows 11 on 3 of my old laptops by editing the TPM settings in one of the DLLs of the setup. Windows 11 works and works well. IN fact it has made two of my laptops that were incredibly slow to become usable again. It looks like MS has finally broken the tradition of every second Windows release being garbage.

Good to hear this....maybe I will update to 11 after all. This is my only laptop so hence why I was hesitant.

I don't work in a Windows 11 every day. I have upgraded one of my laptops with VFP 9 and VFP Advanced. As long as I am running Windows scaling at 100% I haven't seen any problems. I don't work with reports much. But what I did work with them recently, they worked. Until you went above 100%. Then the fonts in the report designer were a bit wonky.
Pageframes in Windows 11 seem to have changed color in the runtime. Other than that, I didn't see anything different.
HTH, Tracy

Pretty sure there's no more support for 32bit CPUs.
