Windows 11 Task Manager displays abnormal icon corruption and experiences frequent freezing.
After the latest system update, the Task Manager frequently freezes and displays icon display issues (e.g., Armoury Crate icon disappears, Discord shows as Armoury Crate icon, Spotify shows as blank box, Thunderbird shows as Discord icon). How can I resolve these display anomalies and performance issues?
Corrupt system files everytime i run sfc/scannow
That's it, it's basically what the title says. I can run the command a dozen times, it stills manages to find corrupt files, and always corrects it, but when I run again, it still says it is corrupted. Idk what to do, I've already updated the system, did a fresh install from an USB stick with media creation tool and from the cloud option itself throught windows. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 11, RTX3060 Mobile, 16GB, 1TB SSD NVME and a I712700H.
Is Windows 11 ready for an upgrade now?
When Windows 11 was first released, I attempted to upgrade but reverted back to Windows 10 due to system lag and other issues. Recently, the system has been continuously pushing updates, and I'd like to understand the specific optimizations in performance, stability, and smoothness for the current version (especially 24H2 or higher) to decide whether it's worth upgrading again.Best Practices for Hybrid Cloud Deployments with Microsoft 365 & Azure
Hi everyone, I’m Jaxon Varr 👋 I’ve been working with Microsoft 365 and Azure for a while now, and I’m looking to refine our hybrid cloud deployment strategy. Right now we’re integrating Azure AD with on-prem identity services and expanding into Azure Virtual Desktop. Does anyone have recommendations for best practices around security, identity sync, and performance optimization when connecting Microsoft 365 services with Azure? I’d love to hear real-world insights or helpful resources. Thanks in advance!
How to set picture password as the default Windows11 login method
Desktop PCs running Windows 10 default to unlocking with picture passwords, but after setting up Windows 11 on a new laptop, it often reverts to a standard password after restarting. How can I permanently lock the default login method to the picture password?In Windows 11, pressing certain keys (like W) while gaming will return you to the desktop.

Hi All, I'm unable to right-click on my start menu, I use Open-Shell but I did check to see if right-clicking was working in the Win 11 start menu. No dice. The only difference is when I right-click on a shortcut in the Open-Shell menu Explorer cashes and I have to restart it in the Task Manager. Right-clicking simply doesn't work on the Win 11 start menu. No menu pops up but Explorer doesn't crash. Also, right-clicking on a app shortcut on the desktop crashes explorer. I logged onto my Administrator account to test the behavior, and right-clicking on app shortcuts works just fine on that account. I've already re-created my user profile once. Upon re-creation right-clicking started working fine again, but after installing/uninstalling a program, can't remember which, it stopped working in my normal user account. Any help would be appreciated. I have system restore points, and registry backups, since I use BC Uninstaller. Maybe I should start there?
Fully Automated Windows Factory Reset for Corporate Laptops
Hello, I am working on a corporate project where we need to allow employees to purchase company laptops. After purchase, the laptop must be fully reset to a “factory state,” removing all corporate data and files. I have tried several approaches: systemreset -factoryreset — but it always shows the GUI and prompts the user to choose whether to keep files or remove everything. Using a ResetConfig.xml — but without an OEM recovery image, it does not work. Applying install.wim via DISM — but after reboot, the system remains unchanged. My goal is to fully automate the factory reset without any user interaction, ideally in a corporate environment. I am considering using MDT, SCCM, or Intune. My questions: What is the best approach to fully automate Windows reset for corporate laptops? Are there best practices or official guides from Microsoft for this scenario? Has anyone successfully implemented fully automated factory reset in a corporate deployment?
