| 35 | == SVN authentication error from Windows == |
| 36 | |
| 37 | === Problem === |
| 38 | Failure to authenticate when trying to check code into SVN. Despite still being able to log into docdb and wiki. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Could be reproduced on my Windows machine, whether using TortoiseSVN from Windows 10 or equivalently from Ubuntu within WSL2. However my credentials still worked fine when doing it from a different machine. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | === Cause === |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Tracked problem to apparent problems with some automatic MS account settings which Microsoft (those jerks!) toggled on my machine, after a software update. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | === Solution === |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Went to the account privacy settings in Windows 10 Settings. Turned off all of Microsoft's little toggles about sharing my account info with other apps --- which I don't want to do --- and don't even have an MS account!! |
