Telemetry exists in Windows but with the release of Windows 11 it became more central to how the windows works. While the term “telemetry” may sound technical or even sophisticated to end users however the actual purpose is more practical and user oriented than you may think. Microsoft uses telemetry to enhance performance, improve reliability, boost security, and deliver a smoother overall experience. If you ever though why Windows 11 collects data or what telemetry really does behind the scenes then in this blog we will break it down and explain the reasons. https://dellenny.com/telemetry-in-windows-11-what-it-is-and-why-it-matters-for-your-pc/
Sorting Folders and Files, but Not Separating Folders FROM Files?
Hello, I’m using Windows 11 and have a question about sorting folders and files. Is there any way, either with Windows File Manager or any third-party utility, to sort folders and files by name, but NOT separating folders and files from each other? For example, let’s say I have the following folders and files on my C drive. I want them sorted by name, but with the folders mixed in with the files. Books Movies Music Photos Booklist.doc Movies in Black and White.rtf Musiclist.doc Photolist.txt Is there any way to sort this list by name, so the folders won’t be separate, at the top of the list, like this: Booklist.doc Books Movies Movies in Black and White.rtf Music Musiclist.doc Photolist.txt Photos If there is a way to do this, what would be the best procedure?

Starting using Hyper-V in the summer of 2024. It worked wonderfully - no issues at all. Starting a couple of months ago (and I have no idea if it coincided with a Windows 11 update), Hyper-V has become very inconsistent and buggy when it comes to Enhanced Session Mode. One day it will work perfectly: I get prompted to select the size of the remote desktop window, and clipboard copy/paste between the host and VM works flawlessly. The next day it will completely fail: I don't get prompted for the window size, and copy/paste between the host and VM doesn't work. I've tried unchecking and re-checking both the "Allow Enhanced Session Mode" setting in the "Server" section as well as the "Use enhanced session mode" setting in the "User" section. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed recent inconsistency with enhanced session modes.
Problem with Screen Jumping Around in Full Screen Videos
Hey there, just trying to ask around to see if someone knows how to handle this specific issue. When I play videos in Netflix (I realize it's probably better to approach their support staff, which I have done) with the full screen, the player has recently started jumping around (shifts up and down frequently while playing the video). This does not happen on other websites as far as I can tell. I have tested YouTube, Disney+, the Criterion Channel, and the CNN video player. All of them are fine; the issue only seems to happen on Netflix and only then in full screen. I have updated all my drivers, but this did nothing. I have turned off the graphics acceleration in Edge, which fixed the problem but downgraded the visual fidelity of the video from roughly 4k to like 720p. What else can I try? The most common suggestion I see is to try and fix the connection between the graphics card and the video cable (non-technical term haha), but I don't think that will do anything because the problem is only on one website.How to download playlist from Spotify to computer for offline listening?
I recently came across an amazing playlist on Spotify that I would love to download the entire all of the tracks to my computer so I can listen them on my Apple Watch. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to go about this. I've looked into a few methods but haven't found a working solution that works for me. Is there any specific software or method that is recommended for this purpose? Also, are there any legal considerations I should be aware of when downloading Spotify playlist to computer? Much appreciated if someone could share a reliable method for doing this.
