When will Windows 10 include native support for Auracast streaming?
My Galaxy S25/S26 Ultra supports Auracast, letting me stream Netflix to two Galaxy Buds4 Pro at once. Why isn’t native Auracast broadcast available on Windows 11? Insider builds have a limited Share Audio feature for select devices, but I want full native Auracast support for all Windows 10 laptops/tablets.HoltSawyeJun 01, 2026Iron Contributor15Views0likes0CommentsHow to restore the classic layout of the Windows 10 Start menu
Currently, opening the Start menu displays a list of all apps directly, rather than the classic layout with pinned apps at the top and recommendations below. The option to adjust the menu layout has also disappeared from the Start settings. Another computer running the exact same version and updates still retains the old layout. How can I switch back to the original style?BreckenFosterJun 01, 2026Steel Contributor16Views0likes0CommentsAfter changing the username in Windows 10, both the old and new names appear
When I initially set up my username, I accidentally included an extra character, so I later changed it following the tutorial. However, the system now displays both the old and new usernames, and when I click on the folder with the old name, only one folder remains. Does this situation affect the system or my account? Was the name change successful? How can I resolve this issue completely?DashielQuinnJun 01, 2026Iron Contributor16Views0likes0CommentsDoes Windows 10 have a desktop photo gallery widget?
I’m looking for a photo carousel widget that can be placed on the desktop. It needs to allow manual photo switching and start automatically when the device boots up. I originally wanted to use such a widget to create a photo calendar, but after trying several highly-rated options, I found that they all require setting an automatic playback interval and don’t allow manual clicking. I also tried modifying a note-taking app for this purpose, but wasn’t successful. Could you recommend any widgets or methods that meet these requirements? Thanks!EorkuJun 01, 2026Iron Contributor26Views0likes2CommentsPatch my pc users, do you like it? How's the Intune integration? Looking to give it a try
I have been doing some research into PMPC and it looks like a great product. Currently we use intune as the MDM for our devices but use PDQ Connect for package management and third party patching. I do love PDQ it works well and has lots of other nice features like scanners and remote desktop which is our main remote help tool. However I'm looking at trying to bring everything more into Intune so i dont have to many different panes of glass to look at when it comes to app reporting and updates. I am curious to know how users of PMPC find it and if its something you find you cant do without now. We only have a smallish fleet of around 190 windows devices and I see there is a minimum cost of 1000 devices but if the product is worth it i'm happy to invest.DukesomJun 01, 2026Copper Contributor15Views0likes1CommentI switched back to Windows 10—I just couldn't stand the issues with Windows 11.

Good day, i bought a new computer about 6months ago, it worked like a charm for lets say 3months but after that when i booted it up at the morning it kept on restarting for like 5times until it automatically resets bios settings and then it managed to finally boot up. Tbh i didnt payed that much attention to it before considering after it worked without problems again but today after approximate another 3months it happened again, also what i find interesting is that after it happened before and today i changed my bios settings to what i used to run and not kept them in default values and it still works. Is there any way i can tell what is causing it? Event viewer for example or something, i posted picture from my event viewer, can also copy everything it says in listed events but i am not sure if it may contain some information that shouldnt be posted publicly and also its quite a lot of text so not doing it just yet, let me know if there is something that stands out to people that understand what is it about because i am completely lost in this informations and i may post it. What i think may cause it is CPU Curve optimizer because i set offset on all cores to -10 so my cpu doesnt run unneceserry very hot (ryzen 5 5600) tends to run quite hot in general. But once again it feels weird to run without problem for few months and then all of the sudden causing reboot loop. Thanks for all your help, hopefully we will find out whats causing it.MatthiasarJun 01, 2026Iron Contributor22Views0likes0CommentsIt's finally time to upgrade (10yr PC)
Quick context: I built this PC back in 2016 for the purpose of being able to make music with minimal lag. I had a teen budget at the time and went into debt to get this $1000 PC together. It was a beautiful starter custom that has stood the test of time for going on a decade now (I swear I blinked and it's already been a decade!). Anyways, I've gotten into content creation since then and as it turns out, what I built back in 2016 doesn't hold up to today's standards anymore. I spoke with a friend who is really into computers on possibly upgrading it and he said it's possible. He was gonna send me RAM he wasn't using, but never did. I got some recommendations from Newegg that I'll mention below, but it was their A.I. tool and I feel there is some built-in "upsale" bias in there. So I'm not entirely confident in its choices. So I figured I'd come and just ask for some ideas.Azael123Jun 01, 2026Copper Contributor13Views0likes0CommentsMS onedrive screwing me
So My laptop stopped working and the power just died on it. Now I have my HD out of my laptop and I can't get my MS Word open. The two files I care about are for my second book I am writing. One is the book and the other is the notes to make sure I keep things right. "THe cloud file provider is not running" Can anyone help me get this crap taken care of so I can get my books back? TY all.Peytong1180Jun 01, 2026Iron Contributor11Views0likes0Comments
