Windows Memory Mapped File IO
(jeremyong.com)
Memory-mapping is my preferred way to do file I/O, on pretty much every platform I write code for (desktop and console). In this post, we’ll start by discussing some of the key advantages of this approach, as well as some disadvantages. Then, we’ll look at some Windows-specific undocumented user-mode functions which help mitigate some of those disadvantages. In particular, we’ll address an important perceived limitation of memory-mapped I/O, namely, file resizing.

(reddit.com)
Arriving at work this morning, an "SME" sized business in the UK, something seemed a little off. Further investigation showed that all of our Windows 2022 Servers had either upgraded themselves to 2025 overnight or were about to do so. This obviously came as a shock as we're not at the point to do so for many reasons and the required licensing would not be present.

It’s no secret that a default Windows installation is… Hefty. In more ways than one, Windows is a bit on the obese side of the spectrum, from taking up a lot of disk space, to requiring hefty system requirements (artificial or not), to coming with a lot of stuff preinstalled not everyone wants to have to deal with.
