I'm looking for a tool replacing desktop icons functionality
Hey there, I'm curios did anyone knows some application that I could run and maintain here different tiled apps shortcuts / folders and files like typical windows desktop but inside the app? And which maybe will have some separation (or tabs) splitted by apps types? Maybe something vaguely reminiscent of Heimdall but non-web based? Kind of handy apps launcher..
Stop Microsoft's harassing survey pop ups
Again, I'm on a different computer so I'm getting pop ups harassing me to fill out a survey. I'm sick and tired of this harassment and nagware. If I wanted to share my feedback, I'd do so willingly, not because I got an intrusive pop up. This behavior is beyond unprofessional. How do I stop these notifications on Windows and all Microsoft products from appearing?! They all say they same thing, "we'd love your feedback. Answer two questions". Everyone I know hates these things and gives the same feedback every time, which is "Stop the **bleep** harassment!" How do I permanently kill these survey pop ups so I never ever ever ever ever ever get one again?!
Android Phone BT Connection Issues
Hi, I have a strange problem that has driven me crazy for the last 2 days. I am trying to use dynamic lock for my laptop. However, my phone can not connect to the laptop via Bluetooth. On the other hand, I have no problem while using the Windows Phone Link application or Asus GlideX software. Moreover, If I choose to connect to my Phone via "Personal Area Network (PAN)" under the Bluetooth options, it works perfectly and the dynamic lock is working as intended. However, after I return to the range of Bluetooth connection, it doesn't connect to my phone automatically via PAN. I tried to completely remove Bluetooth drivers and install them again a couple of times. I run DICM Restore Health and SFC Scan commands twice. They didn't work either. Another strange problem is that I can't remove any Bluetooth devices. When I click on the remove device option from settings, it is not working and it doesn't give any error or warning. Does anyone have any ideas?
How can I separate files from same app on Taskbar in Windows 11?
I have four separate Excel files open. When I was still using Windows 10, I was able to move each one independently of the others to different areas on my taskbar... I used Taskbar Tweaker for years to do this. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 11, I cannot get them to ungroup so I can move them independently because Taskbar Tweaker won't work with Windows 11 and does not have an update to fix it. 😒 Does anyone have any good substitutions for Taskbar Tweaker? Or have a trick to make the taskbar separate the files directly in Windows 11? BTW - I've already tried setting the grouping setting in the taskbar settings... that didn't work either. All of my Excel files are still stuck together on my taskbar. (I have video that demonstrates exactly what the problem is and what I've tried, but it seems I cannot upload it here.)
Feedback on Windows 11
I've been a Windows customer since the beginning. I was doing computing back on the TSR-80, when we still saved information on audio tape. However, with the changes in the last few versions of Windows; I feel I can on longer use a Windows product. I've been using a Windows 11 system for several months now, and I've hated every time I had to use it. With the increase in non-optional "optional" and non-removable features; I've decided that it's time to move onto a Linux based system. Sincerely, a former Microsoft customer.
Lots of issues...
Hi everyone ! Can someone help me please to fix my PC issues See the attachments of the troubleshooters (Video Playback and BITS ) Windows update runs fine, AMD Adrenalin up to date. I did try to disable Driver Signature Enforcement with no succes. I`ve also tried to reinstall clean Windows, that didn`t help either.Windows 10 still better than 11
So dear Microsoft, don't scare us hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users that you will stop supporting it and don't force us to switch to a worse system - Windows 11. ! When in the supposedly more modern Windows 11 system engineering, calculation, simulation, graphic, assembly, 3D rendering, animation programs will run as fast or faster as in Windows 10, and when Games will run faster than in Windows 10, we will think about switching. Currently, Windows 10 is often a dozen or so percent faster in many games and programs! Or better say Windows 11 is even a dozen or so percent slower than Windows 10 :) You have a problem with programmers/coders/developers, I guess, problems with code optimization, there are probably a lot of programming errors in the Kernel that this system works slower than the older Windows 10! ;) Or other problems "under the hood" that the more modern system works slower than the old one. (so MS don't force us to switch to a worse product from a better one :) I'm not even mentioning that W11 is good for amateurs, ;) a lot of things happen secretly.. enthusiasts prefer the more transparent Win10 :) It's easier to recognize what the system is doing..)
