Print dialog will not show Print individual pages.
I sware I had this before but not now. When on windows 11 and I open a .txt file in W11 notepad it does not give me the option to print individual pages. E.G. page 2 or 4-5 something like that. However when I open the same file in notepad++ it does show the ablity to print all or individual pages. Now if I open mspaint, a picture, it does show the normal print individual or all pages. Very frustrating. Why doesnt w11 noteapd do this. The only help I have seen is either to go back to win10 dialog. Which seems a step backward, and also turn off duplex. Which I did do but did not change anything. Can anyone help me to print in W11 notepad so that I can print individual pages or a range of pages. Thank you. Below I will paste two pictures. One is of the dialog not showing the ability to print selected pages, the whole secotion is missiong but then the notepad++ showing it ?? Note on the next image "Pages" is missing. But on the last image pages exists.Solvedstev WolfMay 30, 2026Copper Contributor98Views0likes3CommentsHow do I delete a post?
Hi-----> I submitted a post on Saturday, the 23rd. Microsoft Support was able to provide an answer that worked for me on Tuesday, the 26th. Under my profile it says that my post is "Under Review -- Your post has been received and is awaiting approval." But if I go to the chronological listing of the posts for Windows 11 my post is there. So how do I go about deleting that post? There is no "Report a concern" area or anything like that, so no ellipsis that I can select "Delete" and make the post disappear. Can someone figure this out? It has me baffled!!!!SolvedHugger1May 28, 2026Brass Contributor84Views0likes2CommentsMonitoring CPU activity
I have just installed an new version of Windows 11. Under my old installation I had a vertical progress bar thingy on my taskbar which showed CPU activity. I found it very comforting when I was trying to decide if W11 was actually working or was just ignoring me. 🤣 How do I get that progress bar thingy again under the new version of W11? ThanksSolvedVagulusMay 19, 2026Copper Contributor58Views0likes2CommentsDoes anyone have official info about Windows K2?
It's all over the internet but does anyone know if there's an official place where we can ask for/discuss about things that could/should be fixed/improved in Windows 11 by the K2 project? I have a wish list of things that I would like to see fixed/improved such as searching of files in Windows File Explorer and a more lightweight Windows Store process/service as far as battery, memory and cpu usage is concerned. Are these going to be addressed by K2? Oh, and why was it named "K2", anyway? Thanks,SolveddimpantApr 29, 2026Copper Contributor6KViews2likes1Comment
Wrong Time - Location Changed
We just got a new Spectrum router in NW Lower Michigan. After we connected we found that the time on our PC is wrong and it said the time changed because our location changed. I went to Settings - Location and checked that the Default Location is correct. Because the time is wrong on my PC it causes quite a few problems. I also went to Google Maps and found that the defualt location had changed to Milwaukee, WI which is in a different time zone. I updated the default location there to be my Home location here in NW Lower Michigan and that cured the default location in Google Maps but did not affect the location being used on my Windows 11 (updated) desktop PC to automatically set the time. How can I fix this issue? Thanks!SolvedjkreskiApr 24, 2026Copper Contributor103Views0likes1Comment

Minecraft UWP save failure on Windows 11 Insider due to sandbox regression
I am experiencing an issue where Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) does not save data correctly on Windows 11 Insider builds (Canary, Dev, and Beta). After extensive troubleshooting, the problem appears to be caused by a UWP sandbox initialization regression in these Insider channels. Summary of the issue: Minecraft creates a fallback folder at: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock This folder should never exist for the UWP version of Minecraft. The correct UWP save locations remain unused: LocalState SystemAppData\wgs SystemAppData\Helium The Helium folder stays empty and the wgs folder is never created. Marketplace and cloud save features fail or behave inconsistently. What has been ruled out: File system permissions (ACLs verified and correct) Incorrect launcher (Start Menu points to the correct UWP AppX entry) Corrupted Minecraft installation (package re-registered successfully) Microsoft Store or Gaming Services issues User profile corruption Missing or incorrect folder structure AppX registration issues System file corruption (DISM and SFC clean) Reinstalling Minecraft or Gaming Services Reinstalling Windows using Insider ISOs (Dev, Beta, Canary) Key findings: The Minecraft UWP package installs correctly. The launcher is correct. All ACLs are correct. AppX re-registration succeeds. Despite this, the UWP sandbox never initializes, so Minecraft cannot access its restricted storage. As a result, Windows forces Minecraft into a Win32-style fallback mode, creating the Roaming folder. Microsoft Support Response: Microsoft Support confirmed that this behavior matches a known limitation or regression affecting UWP sandbox initialization on Windows 11 Insider builds (Canary, Dev, and Beta). They stated that there is currently no supported workaround on affected builds and recommended either filing a report here or installing the Windows 11 Stable build. Conclusion: This appears to be a UWP runtime regression in current Windows 11 Insider builds that prevents Minecraft (and potentially other UWP apps) from initializing their sandbox correctly. The issue persists across clean installs and multiple Insider channels. A fix would require changes to the UWP/AppModel runtime in Insider builds. (I am about to reset my entire PC for a 3rd time, this time with the Windows 11 Stable build. Fingers crossed it fixes this issue.)SolvedOAislingOApr 16, 2026Copper Contributor177Views0likes3Comments
Sell you a broken Product; Charge you to fix it...
That's basically the characterization I have for Microsoft Windows. Each OS upgrade has become progressively worse. Win 11 is the latest in a parade of failing OS versions, which boggle the user's minds. I blame it on the abusive practice of H1 Visa outsourcing. Those 'developers' are giving us exactly what their employer is paying for. Win 11 just illustrates that they can't hide the elephant anymore. The key difference is in how users and developers perceive desktop metaphor. Clearly not in sync. In the beginning. the plan was simple. Evolve the tasking of file management from dark, herculean path navigation to eye-candy point, click and drag navigation. It was pretty brilliant and sensible. It should have ended there, save for some tweaks on file manipulation. The metaphor enveloped a western philosophy: Meet the target objective in its simplest, most efficient, cost-effective manner. In other words, task goals were tacit and conclusive. But then, under the auspices of H1 recruiting, that western tact morphed into a new metaphor. The "Zen" of design. Ends became secondary and the metaphor changed to means...or "process illustrious". Thus, the marketing sales pitch used to be...'Find the meaningful solution to a specific, meaningful problem and then build the button to execute the solution'. Now the pitch is: 'Build a button and see if we can tie it back to something useful'. As such, Windows has grown into a smoking Jalopy; replete with endless bells and whistles. To be fair, there is evidence that suggests they can still maintain reasonable security updates...until they can't. Seems like an endless chase. If I were CEO of Microsoft... I think I would fire the entire Windows Development Team and start new, clean slate on de-behemothing this arduous OS. My screening would necessarily require high triple Digit IQs, with a pension for OCD. The success of windows rests exclusively on the team that develops it. It's just a pity that marketers got their meat hooks on the product. Nary a bigger collection of shoe-shufflers than them. As suggested; Microsoft is the only company I know of that can sell you a broken product and then charge you money to fix it.SolvedPaperdogApr 16, 2026Copper Contributor90Views0likes4Comments
