Windows Research Notes

Preface

Hi there, I go by Kenji Mouri.

I like to write technical articles, especially I like to post long technical posts in PCBeta Forum. Because I think posting in a forum where a lot of people go can make more people see it and make more people get help because of the technical articles I write.

Around 2014 to 2016 was my productive period. Then I did not publish many technical articles because I was not inspired to write long-form technical articles. But I did not have the courage to publish short technical articles in that time, because I was afraid that others said I was publishing useless posts in the forum.

As we all know, the server of PCBeta Forum was very unstable and inaccessible in the past few years. So at that time, I had the idea of summarizing all the articles I had published in forums like PCBeta into a blog I hosted on GitHub. After all, forums can’t exist forever, but Git repositories everyone can make backups of, and make it able to keep the content I write.

Later, after the PCBeta Forum was back to normal, I forgot about it. Until recently, when I was encouraged to do so by my friend walterlv, because of some opportunity.

I will not simply archive the technical articles I wrote before, but will errata and rewrite the content according to the previous content with my current perspective. I hope this will reduce potential misunderstandings and better help readers who read this series of articles.

If you find any errors in this series of articles, or have better suggestions, please send your feedback directly to https://github.com/MouriNaruto/MouriNaruto/issues.

Note: This index will be updated as the content of this series is updated.

Note: Article entries without hyperlinks in the table of contents are what I want to write about in the future.
