The design of an operating system doesn’t evolve only inside laboratories. Sometimes it emerges where creativity, humor, and the desire to push the boundaries of what we call the “Windows experience” come together. UI/UX 12 is exactly that kind of project — spontaneous, playful, and surprisingly consistent. It was born from the joy of exploration, from nostalgia for the classics, and from the desire to see Windows the way it could look if it were guided by the people who live with it every day. Why UI/UX 12 was created Windows is a platform with a soul. But a soul needs space — and that’s exactly what we gave it: clean lines that breathe widgets that inform rather than distract apps that feel like parts of a single ecosystem legends like Solitaire and Pinball brought back to life Copilot that finally looks like a partner, not just a panel UI/UX 12 is not just a concept. It’s a dialogue between the user and the system. What Microsoft can take from this This is not criticism. This is an invitation. An invitation to look at Windows through the eyes of someone who uses it daily, follows its evolution, tests its limits, and knows exactly what it’s missing. UI/UX 12 shows that the community can create designs that are: instantly understandable visually unified functionally thoughtful and still true to the DNA of Windows It’s proof that the user’s vision can be just as valuable as internal design. A message to designers and the community “Windows is not just software. It’s a space where we live, create, work, and play. UI/UX 12 is a glimpse of what that space can become when it’s inspired by the people who truly love it.” ✌️🫶😎kikero_exeMar 21, 2026Brass Contributor64Views2likes0CommentsWindows 11 May Experience Freezing Issues During Boot Process.
I have been facing a persistent issue for several months that has been quite frustrating. This problem seems to persist across multiple iterations of Windows versions without triggering a BSOD. While my system remains stable and rarely crashes, the main issue is a random boot freeze that occurs. Upon either cold starting or restarting my desktop running Windows 11, there are instances where it freezes during the initial boot phase while the spinning torrent icon is displayed. The spinning torrent stops, and the system remains stuck indefinitely at this point. This freeze happens approximately 30-40% of the time. Interestingly, if I disconnect the power cord and then boot the system, it starts up cleanly without any issues. However, if I skip removing the power cord, the freeze consistently occurs at the same spinning torrent screen during boot until it either offers a recovery menu or lets me boot into safe mode—which it usually does. I have scanned for viruses but found nothing. Even forcefully powering off the system using the power button does not resolve the freeze; the power cord has to be disconnected for the system to properly boot every time. I have tried various troubleshooting steps, such as disabling hibernate mode, performing chkdsk, clean boot by disabling non-Microsoft programs, unplugging peripherals, running SFC scans, among others. Despite reinstalling Windows a few times (including a clean install once), the issue tends to recur. I have also replaced memory modules and upgraded the video card, but the problem persists. At this point, I suspect a hardware component may be failing, but I am unsure which one. Is there a way to generate a log file that could provide insights into what hardware or software might be causing the freeze, rather than simply replacing parts blindly? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I have a USB flash drive filled with thousands of MP3 song files. Some are organized within an "Artist" folder, while others are scattered in a folder called "Random." I decided to revamp my music collection by creating a "Done" folder with organized artists and albums, such as Garth Brooks' albums with complete details like album art, genre, and release year. I am looking for an easier way to identify and remove duplicate files based on artist names or group names. Currently, I manually search for each artist in the "Random" folder to eliminate duplicates. Is there a more efficient method, perhaps a free program compatible with Windows 11, that can help streamline this process? I want to avoid having multiple copies of the same songs with incorrect file names but correct tags. If you have any suggestions or recommendations to simplify this task, please let me know. Thank you!AvaAndersonMar 21, 2026Copper Contributor273Views0likes1CommentQuestion About the SSD in Dell XPS 9500
Hello everyone, I recently acquired a pristine Dell XPS 9500 to replace my damaged one. The new laptop is identical in model, processor, and graphics. I'm wondering if I can simply transfer the SSD from the damaged laptop to the new one without any complications. Both machines are running Windows 11 Pro, and I'd prefer to avoid the hassle of transferring files, college software, etc., as it can be tedious and time-consuming. Your assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.EdwardRiveraMar 21, 2026Copper Contributor198Views0likes1Comment- Ladybug1412Mar 21, 2026Brass Contributor333Views0likes1Comment

It appears that your setup is correct. Once ICS is activated, does the Home Network drop-down menu show up? How many network interfaces are currently listed in Network Connections? If you'd like, you can share a screenshot for further evaluation.EorkuMar 21, 2026Iron Contributor164Views15likes1CommentUnable to apply the Windows 10 system image in the Windows PE environment
An error occurred while attempting to apply a Windows 10 system image in Windows PE. The specific symptoms are as follows: 1. Forced selection of Drive W: In UEFI boot mode, the system forces the selection of Drive W as the target, and the correct system drive cannot be manually specified. 2. USB installation error: An error also occurs when booting from a USB drive for installation, preventing the system deployment from completing successfully.LarkinFoxMar 21, 2026Iron Contributor22Views0likes2Comments
