How to download tiktok video without watermark
Hey everyone, I want to download a TikTok video without the watermark. I tried a few random tools on the web, but most tools show ads or fail to save a clean file. Some tools even keep the watermark, so they are not useful at all. Does anyone know a reliable way to download TikTok videos without watermark on PC or phone? I only need the clips for offline study and simple reference. Any site or app that you trust would really help. Thanks in advance!SolvedGordonyNov 24, 2025Iron Contributor1KViews0likes7CommentsUnable to reset my PC
Hi Insider Community, Hope you are doing great! So I tried to reset my PC from the recovery options menu and selected reset my PC. It opens a permission window then asks for keep my files or delete my files options where I selected keep my files. This shows an error saying you files could be modified by some else which seems strange and I couldn't reset my PC. Please find the attached screenshot for the issue. Best Regards, Siddhartha SharmaSolvedSids11Sep 21, 2025Brass Contributor41Views0likes1CommentUnable to reset my PC
Hi Insider Community, Hope y'all doing great! I am currently facing an issue while trying to reset my PC. After clicking on the reset my PC button from the recovery menu, I am redirected to the system permission dialogue box. After clicking yes on it, I choose the keep my files option but it shows an error right after that saying someone could be controlling/modifying my files. It seems really odd to me after seeing this error here so I am reaching out for a solution now. Thanks & Regards Siddhartha SharmaSolvedSids11Sep 20, 2025Brass Contributor218Views0likes4Comments
How to view large background images in the Windows system taskbar
want to view the large image of the taskbar background, but I can't zoom in, and I can't find the source of the current image for 2025 or the daily replacement pattern. I need a solution.SolvedStonehuAug 25, 2025Iron Contributor92Views0likes2CommentsWindows Start Menu Search UI flashing white briefly when opening
Been having this issue on Windows 11 Pro 24H2 26100.4946. It was clean installed from USB on 8/12/2025. Whenever I use the start menu and type in the search bar the search ui will sometimes briefly flash white before showing dark mode and the rest of the ui. I'm not sure how to fix this or if it can be fixed. I've also noticed it if I click on the search bar on the taskbar Things I've Tried: Updating graphics driver SFC/DISM Restarting DWM and Explorer from Task Manager Reset Web Experience and CBS with powershell Inplace Upgrade It's not a huge issue as the search still works but it is driving me crazy. I'm not sure if it's the bug with Windows 11 Dark theme when it renders the light theme first then renders over it or what. File Explorer and Task Manager don't have this issue. I looked around online and I didn't see anyone else having this issue with the search menu.SolvedLenasobAug 22, 2025Iron Contributor74Views0likes1Comment
Next-generation Windows major feature addition
If Windows 11 is not easy to use, I hope Microsoft will work hard to develop Windows 12 with major feature additions: Enhancing the Visual Experience: The transparency effect has been improved, and the glass effect has been added. The system avatar is rounded and rectangular, and the search box is rectangular (more in line with the current design trend). Added top information bar (weather, date and time). Uses Windows 11's startup sounds. Start Menu/Screen: Structural Innovation: Clearly divided into accounts, pinned list (most used/recommended), pinned tiles (four-column layout) for clear. Full-screen Start Screen Return: Blends the traditional lists of Windows 7 with Windows 8.1-style live tiles (Info Display and Quick Launch) that support both horizontal and vertical arrangements. Tile Flexibility Enhancement: Available in five sizes: small, medium, wide, large, and high, far exceeding the previous options. Custom tile options: Includes colorful, light, dark, transparent (default), translucent tones for a high degree of personalization. Migration-friendly: When upgrading from Win8.1, 10, and 11, fixed apps and websites are automatically migrated, reducing user reconfiguration workload. Copilot Tiles: The AI assistant Copilot gets exclusive tiles that show its importance. Taskbar & Search: Search box becomes larger & shapes change: The search box is more conspicuous, from circular (Win11) to rectangular, and wider options are supported to strengthen the search entry. Search menu flexibility: The height is freely adjustable to align with the Start menu style. Personalized lock screen interface: Date and time alignment is divided into left and center. New photo effects put the subject of the photo before or after time. Widgets: Pin to Desktop: No longer limited to a small panel above the taskbar, it can be pinned anywhere on the desktop like a traditional gadget. Full-screen mode: The left is the widget panel, and the right is the information source (such as news), supporting up to six columns for more information. New Widgets: It is explicitly mentioned that the "People" widget and the "Cortana Suggestions" widget will be coming (although Cortana itself seems to have updated as well). Microsoft Store Widgets: Specialized Store Entry Widgets. Productivity and Multitasking Enhancement: Task view returns to the Win10 experience Drag and drop to multi-desktop: More mature multi-desktop management. Window switching returns to the Win10 experience: The Alt Tab experience returns to the classic. Stick Assistant returns to Win10 experience with significant enhancements: Supports ultra-widescreen (21:9, 32:9). Support for up to eight snap layouts, especially for large landscape screens, a productivity tool. App Updates: New Mail, Calendar, People: Highlights and may be accompanied by UI and feature updates. New version of Cortana: Multilingual Support: Expands the range of use. Return of consumer skills: Music control, smart home control, third-party skills return, trying to restore their usefulness as voice assistants. Microsoft Store refresh: UWP app returns: Some high-quality UWP apps are back on the shelves. Game Ecosystem Expansion: Added PlayStation App and Nintendo Game Zone, significantly expanding game-related content. Android Subsystem Regression: WSA regression, with a special emphasis on the ability of apps that support landscape display to run in full screen (solving one of the previous major pain points). Notification Center and Calendar Separation: The notification center and calendar's quick operation panel are separated, potentially leading to a cleaner interface and more focused operations. Transfer data: Transfer partitions, personal files, and apps from your old PC to a new PC or hard drive. Classic apps and features return at scale: This is the most notable (and questionable) section, including: Apps: MSN Series apps, Tips, Print 3D, Maps, desktop messaging apps, Windows Media Center, Windows 7 desktop widgets, Windows 8.1 apps (partial). System features: Homegroup, Timeline (cross-device history), Tablet mode, Windows Ink Workspace. Core & Version: Version number: Launched 26H1, the build number resets to 12.0.0, marking a significant new beginning. System naming: Windows 12 and Windows 12e are mentioned, as well as Windows 12 Ultra. Extensive free upgrade paths: Covers Windows 11 (including SE), Windows 10 (including S, 10X), Windows 8/8.1 (including RT), and Windows 7. This is a key strategy to attract users to migrate. Hardware requirements are graded: Windows 12e: Ultra-low threshold (2GB RAM, 32GB storage), for education or basic devices, may be similar to the Cloud/SE version. Windows 12 (Basic/Home/Pro, etc.): Mainstream threshold (4GB RAM, 64GB storage), removal of strict restrictions such as TPM (the most significant change!) ）。 Windows 12 Ultra (Ultimate): High-performance threshold (8GB RAM, 128GB storage, TPM 2.0, DirectX 12), unlocks all advanced features (e.g. advanced AI features, extreme performance optimization?) ）。 Significantly longer life cycle: Home/Professional/Workstation Edition: 2 years -> 4 years. Enterprise/Education/IoT Enterprise Edition: 3 years -> 6 years. This is a huge attraction for enterprise and institutional users, reducing migration frequency and total costs.SolvedLiXuanChen35Aug 18, 2025Copper Contributor676Views0likes1CommentWindows Insider Update KB5062673 is not installing
Hey guys, hope this message finds you well. I've tried for a bunch of days to install Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (KB5062673) (26120.5733) on my Windows 11 Pro. But I received an error (0x800f0831), and this update was not installed, nor was it hidden. I've tried uupdump.net ISO file 26120.4452_amd64_pt-br_professional_356d2697_convert according to my Windows 11 Pro Version, but it doesn't work. I received (0x800f0915) error when I tried to mount the ISO in letter E, and run the following command: `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\Sources\install.wim /LimitAccess` I used my laptop for work, which means I can't format and install everything from 0. Can you provide me with any tips to solve this issue? Thanks for your time in advance.SolvedperiscueloAug 06, 2025Copper Contributor274Views0likes6CommentsHow to download youtube video on mac with 4k or 1080p
