Windows 12 ARM/UX Vision – A New Era for New Era for Portable Devices
Windows 12 ARM/UX is not meant to be another copy of iOS or Android. It is a bold return of Windows to ARM/UX devices, built on the same unified core as desktop Windows, optimized for ARM, and designed to be fast, clean, and secure. 🔹 Core Principles 1. Unified Kernel • Same Windows core as desktop, optimized for ARM (Qualcomm, MediaTek, Exynos). • Easier development and consistent performance across devices. 2. No Translation Layers • No EXE emulation in sandbox. • Sandbox reserved only for AI tasks running locally or in the cloud. 3. Android Compatibility • Efficient support for Android apps. • iOS compatibility excluded to keep the system lean. 4. Pure and Modular System • No unnecessary pre‑installed apps. • Copilot and system apps downloaded only when the user needs them. • System size capped at ~15 GB. 5. Lumia‑Level Imaging • High‑quality photos and videos, with advanced codecs and stabilization. • AI photo editing runs locally in sandbox, never sent to the cloud. 6. DirectX Optimized for ARM • DirectX as the graphics foundation, tuned for ARM GPUs. • Balanced CPU/GPU load to prevent overheating and preserve performance. 7. Security First • Enhanced Windows Defender with phishing protection for social networks. • Windows Hello+ with ultrasonic fingerprint and retina unlock. 8. Smart Power Management • When the screen is off, only essential tasks run (~0.1% CPU for notifications). • Camera and microphone disabled by default for privacy. • User can allow exceptions if needed. 9. Payments • Support for Google Pay. • Option for a new Microsoft Pay that combines Microsoft and Google accounts. 10. Productivity Incentive • Free access to Microsoft Office apps for one year as a launch bonus. 🔹 Why This Matters • Not another clone – Windows 12 ARM/UX would stand apart with its own identity. • Developer‑friendly – unified kernel, modular services, and clear APIs. • User‑first – privacy, performance, and productivity at the core. • Future‑ready – AI, cloud, and ARM optimization built in from day one. 📝 Call to Action This is a vision for a fast, clean, and modern Windows on Portable Devices If you believe Windows deserves a true comeback in Portable Devices, let’s discuss it here and shape the future together.
Windows 11 Insider Preview Update Progress Issue
I tried to update and install one Windows update, but it keeps on showing as 0% or 8% and it is not progressing after 8%. I tried necessary trouble shooting steps like pausing the update for some time and then trying again. But it didn't work out. The update that I trying to update and install is "Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (KB5067103) (26220.6780)" It shall be great if anyone respective person can assist me with this issue.Syncing problem on Windows computer
In trying to clean up my computer (Windows 10 is crawling after a while up) I erased all the files in my pictures folder in Onedrive on my computer. The computer also erased all my files in my pictures folder on my computer. I found a window where the computer syncs these files and unclicked this. I want to control what is in the cloud by placing files into my onedrive not let the computer do it. I want to get my pictures folder online synced with my onedrive online. I repeat, I want to make my Onedrive on my computer become the same as my Onedrive online.

How can I verify that a Windows backup is valid, on a laptop or all-in-one PC without disassembling the PC? A friend bought an Asus All-in-one (AIO) PC running Win10 and I'm setting up a backup system for her. The problem is that it is a major task to disassemble an AIO PC to access the internal HDD. So I want to try verifying that a clone backup can work by installing the cloned HDD in a USB3 docking station and then booting windows from that USB3 docking station. QUESTIONS: 1. Has anyone ever done this successfully? 2. Win10 in the AIO is currently working with the internal HDD that is on a SATA port. So a cloned drive will be configured identically. Do you think it's possible to install the cloned HDD in a USB3 docking station and boot and run Win10 from it, without disconnecting the internal HDD? I'm hoping that Win10 is smart enough to reconfigure itself to run from a USB port instead of from a SATA port. Think this will work? 3. Any ideas on how to test a backup on an AIO PC without disassembling the PC, will be very welcome. This dilemma would also apply to laptops.What’s your best YouTube to WAV converter for PC?
Hey guys, I’m trying to grab some high-quality audio from a few YouTube videos for a project, and I specifically need WAV files (not MP3). I’ve seen a bunch of sketchy “free” youtube to wav converters online, but most are packed with ads or trashware. So I’m wondering — what’s actually working for you these days? Looking for something clean, simple, and that doesn’t kill audio quality. Ideally for Windows, but I’m open to options. What’s your favorite YouTube to WAV converter for PC right now?
Camera app shows error "0xA00F4244 NoCamerasAreAttached"
Hello, I am facing an issue with the Camera app on my HP 15s eq 2xx2 au series laptop running Windows 11 Insider. Whenever I try to open the Camera app, it shows the error message “0xA00F4244 NoCamerasAreAttached.” I have already run the Microsoft troubleshooter and contacted a Microsoft authorized agent through Quick Assist for remote troubleshooting, but the problem still remains unresolved. I would appreciate further assistance in fixing this issue as I am unable to use the camera at all. Thank you.Task manager and resources consumed without being displayed
How can it be over 80% of RAM when I have 16 GB of RAM, I'm not a genius, BUT, 2100 MB RAM means 2 GB, plus two more from the game, 4, where is the difference between 4-5 GB and 16? I said something else than in the image because I was looking in the task manager at that time, but, you understand, some malware is eating resources, WHAT EXACTLY is happening here?
