Microsoft search ignores double quotation around search phrase
I'm using Windows 11 64 bit Home version 24H2 with all the latest updates. When I use the search box a search for example "John Evans" will produce the same results as a search of John Evans. I have rebuilt the search index, and still get the same results. Any suggestions please
Why can't I enter emojis using their UNICODE codepoint value via hexadecimal numpad input?
After enabling hexadecimal UNICODE input in Windows, I'm not able to enter emojis using their hexadecimal UNICODE code point. Windows only shows their UNICODE value but not the emoji character. Example: <ALT>+<+1f600>: Why is that?
OneDrive does NOT start when I sign in to Windows 11
Hello, I have recently upgraded my PC to Windows 11. However, since then OneDrive doesn't start automatically when I sign in to Windows. I have already verified that: The option "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows" is enable on the General settings. Onedrive is enable in the Startup of the Task Manager. Despite the above, I still need to manually open OneDrive each time I restart my PC. Any idea on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance!
Less FPS After Windows Update
<p>Hi guys!!</p> <p>I've been experiencing low FPS while gaming after updating my Windows. I had this issue once before, but at that time I rolled back the Windows update and everything went back to normal. Recently, I accidentally clicked to update Windows again, and the problem came back.</p> <p>The issue now is that I can't revert to the previous update anymore, as I get an error saying that the necessary files aren't available.</p> <p>The problem is definitely not hardware-related — my computer is fully equipped for this kind of activity, and as I noticed before, everything ran perfectly with the previous Windows version. So the issue is clearly not with the hardware.</p> <p>My Windows 11 version is 24H2.</p> <p>I hope someone can help me out.</p>
Installing Tiny 11 on a pure gaming build ?
Can installing Tiny 11 instead of the normal Windows 11 on a pure gaming build (meaning I will do nothing on that sytem other than game), be a good idea? so as to use the least amount of resources possible. Or bad idea? I would not install it on my main system. Because I never know when I would need the normal features and updates.Unable to remove old devices from the Phone Link app

Here is the thread from community answers about the similar issue: how to remove the device on phone link?
