Updates not installing
So I've been trying to install the latest preview update - Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.4520) (KB5060834) for quite some time, but the updates are not being installed. What could be the issue? Also the emoji bar (opened by F1 key) isn't working & the clipboard (opened by clicking Windows Key + V) isn't working. Could this be related to the updates? If anyone could guide me, it would be helpful! TIA!dhanushpr08Jul 14, 2025Occasional Reader5Views0likes0CommentsWindows 11 Start menu layout via GPO

My Windows 11 laptop won't show my rooted Android phone in File Exlorer. It only displays my unrooted phones. The "Show mobile device in File Exlorer" in the Windows "Manage mobile devices" settings is missing for the rooted Android, it only shows up for my unrooted phone. The Windows Phone Link app talks to both phones. Any idea what's wrong? Does some security setting keep my rooted phone out of Windows File Explorer?wossinesserJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor9Views0likes0Commentshlp4win11 - Legacy HLP file support for Windows 11 and 10

We have a batch of HP Pro Mini 400s and we've put 24H2 on them. They have the latest (as of 2 weeks ago when I rebuilt the driver stores) firmware and drivers. We've tested 24H2 on these and various other bits of hardware lying around to iron out any quirks......or so we thought. Some of them (1-2 in a room of 31) will quietly drop the network connection and not resume it while they're actively being used. The switch doesn't log anything (disconnect, for example) or bad traffic on the port. There's no pattern so far on when it happens. They're connected to Aruba switching (gig PoE+, loop-protect and spanning-tree on) and the patch leads in the rooms have been inspected and replaced as part of the refit. Testing the network jacks shows no issues.JeasdssonJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor21Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 Start menu layout via GPO

iOS 18 update deletes dozen of recent text messages on my iPhone 16 Pro. And they are very important. Fortunately, I back up my iphone regularly with iTunes on my Windows PC. Now, the question is how can I extract text messages from iPhone backup? The iTunes app only provides a way to fully restore the iPhone. This is very time consuming and dangerous. I don't want to do this in such a risky way!DouglasTuckerJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor33Views0likes6CommentsInTune site migration
Hi all, we're looking at migrating to Windows 11 using Intune rather than carrying on with our traditional AD/On prem server model. I'd like to hear from anyone who has migrated their Secondary school over to In Tune. How did it go? How did you replace things like print servers, desktop monitoring software like impero, other software which depends on AD etcKanliswamJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor7Views0likes0CommentsFolder redirection - but no folders?
Start menu redirects fine however it seems since moving to Windows 11, new folders aren't recognised and any shortcuts that were placed in that folder are just put amongst the main list in the correct alphabetical order. Is this expected behaviour now? Are folders not recognised?SuampentJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor20Views0likes0Comments
