Windows Vista has had the most elegant, polished and beautiful user interface ever.
I don't care about new UI theories which have been used basically everywhere. The design peak happened at that time with the introduction of Windows Vista plus Windows Aero and has not been repeated again. Things such as flat design, gray icons, simplistic animations, no transparency effects, in my humble opinion, have ruined design advancement and I'm sick and tired of 'em. But don't get me wrong. Overusing 3D-icons or adding inharmonious colors would not make a good design either. Wish it were the old days of using Vista.Save the date: Windows Office Hours - December 18, 2025

Telemetry exists in Windows but with the release of Windows 11 it became more central to how the windows works. While the term “telemetry” may sound technical or even sophisticated to end users however the actual purpose is more practical and user oriented than you may think. Microsoft uses telemetry to enhance performance, improve reliability, boost security, and deliver a smoother overall experience. If you ever though why Windows 11 collects data or what telemetry really does behind the scenes then in this blog we will break it down and explain the reasons. https://dellenny.com/telemetry-in-windows-11-what-it-is-and-why-it-matters-for-your-pc/
Sorting Folders and Files, but Not Separating Folders FROM Files?
Hello, I’m using Windows 11 and have a question about sorting folders and files. Is there any way, either with Windows File Manager or any third-party utility, to sort folders and files by name, but NOT separating folders and files from each other? For example, let’s say I have the following folders and files on my C drive. I want them sorted by name, but with the folders mixed in with the files. Books Movies Music Photos Booklist.doc Movies in Black and White.rtf Musiclist.doc Photolist.txt Is there any way to sort this list by name, so the folders won’t be separate, at the top of the list, like this: Booklist.doc Books Movies Movies in Black and White.rtf Music Musiclist.doc Photolist.txt Photos If there is a way to do this, what would be the best procedure? Thank you! J. Danniel
Problema aggiornamenti
Buonasera, dopo aver reinstallato Windows 10 in place sto scaricando da capo gli aggiornamenti. Per un pò è andato tutto bene, poi è comparso questo messaggio: "L'aggiornamento non è stato fatto. Al dispositivo mancano importanti correzioni di sicurezza e qualità". Se qualcuno potesse aiutarmi, preferibilmente in italiano, gli sarei molto grato.Hyper-V "Enhanced Session Mode" inconsistency
Starting using Hyper-V in the summer of 2024. It worked wonderfully - no issues at all. Starting a couple of months ago (and I have no idea if it coincided with a Windows 11 update), Hyper-V has become very inconsistent and buggy when it comes to Enhanced Session Mode. One day it will work perfectly: I get prompted to select the size of the remote desktop window, and clipboard copy/paste between the host and VM works flawlessly. The next day it will completely fail: I don't get prompted for the window size, and copy/paste between the host and VM doesn't work. I've tried unchecking and re-checking both the "Allow Enhanced Session Mode" setting in the "Server" section as well as the "Use enhanced session mode" setting in the "User" section. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed recent inconsistency with enhanced session modes.В Центре Обновления Windows нет новых накопительных обновлений для программы Windows Insider.
Lenovo V15 G4 AMN обновления "встали" на версии 26220.6780. Dev канал. Все остальные обновления (антивирус, драйвера) устанавливаются спокойно и без проблем. До определённого момента накопительные обновления Insider устанавливались. Прошу с этим помочь. В меню Центра Обновления Windows написано просто: "У вас установлены все последние обновления. В центре Insider: "В Центре обновления Windows доступна новая сборка Not seeing a new build? Troubleshoot Insider builds". Ничего не делал "винда" чистая, лицензия. Никаких действие не предпринимал, которы могли привести к такой проблеме.Did a Windows repair install fully fix my WindowsApps permission issue?
Hey everyone im on the newest Windows 11 version which I tunk should be 25H2, I’m trying to figure out whether a Windows repair install actually fixes the permissions on the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder. Long story short: I previously changed ownership of the WindowsApps folder so I could access a file path. I later switched the ownership back, but even after restoring permissions I could still open the folder using the direct path. In File Explorer it was hidden, but I could still access everything if I typed the exact location. I also tried resetting permissions with icacls, enabling inheritance, etc., but kept running into Access denied errors. I also ran some similar command I found online because I was desperate to get it back into its original state. Then I tried a repair install, the folder disappeared again in File Explorer and is listed as SHR when I check attributes, but I’m not fully sure whether the security settings are truly back to the default state, or whether there's still something misconfigured in the background. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Does a Windows repair install actually restore the WindowsApps folder permissions to stock defaults, or do I still need to manually fix something?Is it worth it clearing standby list?
Hey guys! I have used RAMMap to clear the standby list. There are also some tools like WJ32 that do the same thing. Is it really worth clearing? Does it make your PC faster if you re-run it every 5 minutes? Edit: I have an 8GB non-upgradable RAM and Windows 11 is using more than 50% of it without any tweaks. Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradable, and I accept any recommendations to fix the full RAM issue. Thanks!
Introducing Desktop Switcher: Effortless Virtual Desktop Switching
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a handy tool I’ve been using to make Windows’ virtual desktops much easier to manage. It’s called Desktop Switcher, and it lets you seamlessly switch between virtual desktops by simply moving your mouse to the bottom of the screen and scrolling the wheel. No more fumbling with keyboard shortcuts or the Task View—just a quick scroll to glide to the next desktop. If you use multiple desktops to organize your work or projects, this tiny utility saves a lot of time and feels really smooth. The app is available on the Microsoft Store as a free trial (and paid if you find it useful). Just search for “Desktop Switcher” and give it a try! I hope this helps anyone who loves virtual desktops but wishes switching between them was more intuitive. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.¿Alguien sabe cómo descargar mp3 spotify de manera sencilla?

Problem with Screen Jumping Around in Full Screen Videos
Hey there, just trying to ask around to see if someone knows how to handle this specific issue. When I play videos in Netflix (I realize it's probably better to approach their support staff, which I have done) with the full screen, the player has recently started jumping around (shifts up and down frequently while playing the video). This does not happen on other websites as far as I can tell. I have tested YouTube, Disney+, the Criterion Channel, and the CNN video player. All of them are fine; the issue only seems to happen on Netflix and only then in full screen. I have updated all my drivers, but this did nothing. I have turned off the graphics acceleration in Edge, which fixed the problem but downgraded the visual fidelity of the video from roughly 4k to like 720p. What else can I try? The most common suggestion I see is to try and fix the connection between the graphics card and the video cable (non-technical term haha), but I don't think that will do anything because the problem is only on one website.
