Windows 11 - Different Icons in different Virtual Desktops
Hi, I don't know if the developers at windows will read this but thank you for the work you've done on virtual desktops in Windows 11. However, it would also be great if Microsoft can work towards having different icons in different virtual desktops. While i can change the backgrounds and rename them, it means I constantly need to open apps just to have them sitting in a specific desktop which in turn becomes memory heavy. It would be great if i could demacate apps for separate use (e.g music production, video production, programming) into different desktops via the icons I've installed or created shortcuts for on the corresponding desktops. That way when i switch desktops, the icons i see reflect the use or function of that desktop without me clicking on the start button to find apps needed or even seeing all apps for all functions pinned to the task bar or worse case scenario, all app icons for all functions in specific function desktops. Thanks. PS - another great improvement would be the ability to turn off recommendations on the start button or an option to show all apps (not just pinned ones) by default. It's hard getting used to this new way.

I tried to install Windows 11 from a USB drive on a Gigabyte 610I motherboard, but when it got to the 'let's connect you to a network' screen I was stuck as the Window 11 installation software wouldn't recognise the ethernet connection. I got past the screen by opening a command prompt and typing OOBE\BYPASSNRO. Windows 11 then finishing installing and the ethernet connection was recognised when the desktop opened. I was wondering why the Windows 11 installation got stuck in the first place though not recognising the ethernet connection.File Explorer, please help
On my new Lenovo laptop, with Windows 11, everything is, thanks to you, as I would like and as it should be. There is one little thing that really bothers me, so please help. Namely, in File Explorer, when it opens, a black border appears around Quick access, which disappears when I click somewhere, and appears again when I open FE again (this is in Croatian). I have tried everything that Google and AI advise, but it does not help. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Please help.Slow virtual desktop switching on windows 11
Hi, I recently joined the windows insider program and installed Windows 11. But since then, I am facing a significantly slow virtual desktop switching, compared to windows 10 (4 fingers slide gesture on trackpad). I am on the beta channel, but I have been facing this problem since the very first release of windows 11, when I was on the dev channel. These are my hardware specs : Is there any solution to speed this up ? Thanks in advance.
How to Convert MP3 to WAV in Windows for Better Quality
I have hundreds of MP3 music files ripped from CDs. However, the mp3 files are mostly with lower 96-128 kbps bitrate. I want better audio quality like WAV. Is there any free way to convert mp3 to wav in windows for better audio quality? I tried the Windows Media Player but there is no export or convert option available. Hope someone could suggest a working mp3 to wav converter for Windows PC. ThanksWindows 11 Insider Preview Update failing
I am currently on Windows 11 Insider Preview, Version 24H2 (OS Build 26120.4250). While attempting to install the cumulative update KB5060816 (Build 26120.4441), the update fails with the following error: Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: 0x80073712. I have tried restarting the PC and re-attempting the update, but the issue persists. The Windows Update Troubleshooter did not resolve the problem.Look for a safe image to text converter for extracting text from pictures
My client sent me dozens of project details with screenshots and I have to extract text from images manually. It could be really boring and time consuming for copy and paste. I tested a few online and AI picture to text converters but the result is awful. Does anyone know the best image to text converter with fast and accurate result? Ideally, I'd like a tool that supports common formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) and preserves formatting where possible. A free option would be great, but I'm also open to paid tools if they're trustworthy. Offline software would be a plus for privacy, but I'm open to well-reviewed online services if they don't misuse data. Looking forward to your reply!
