I am an active user of Windows 11 Pro (Version 24H2) and regularly use Copilot. I urge you to consider the following proposals to enhance the usability and functionality of the system for the Ukrainian community. ### 1. Critical Issue: Missing Ukrainian Language in Voice Access This is the most pressing issue for millions of users in Ukraine. * **Problem:** Windows' built-in voice control feature (**Voice Access**) **does not support the Ukrainian language for executing system commands** (e.g., "Open Notepad"), only for text dictation. This makes the feature virtually unusable. * **Current Status:** An existing Feedback Hub submission regarding this issue lacks votes and has not been prioritized. * **Proposal:** We urgently request the integration of **full Ukrainian language support for system control commands**, prioritizing this issue immediately. ### 2. Copilot Stability and Functionality Improvements Issues that reduce Copilot's effectiveness: * **Eliminate Answer Interruptions:** When using **voice input** and the **"Share" mode** (screen analysis), Copilot's answers are frequently **cut short or interrupted**. Please optimize the server-side processing for stable and complete result delivery, especially when processing image data. * **Expand Interactivity (Control):** I request giving Copilot the ability to **perform basic actions** within an open window in **"Share" mode** (e.g., "Click the 'Settings' button," "Scroll down"). * **Ukrainian AI Model Optimization:** Please optimize the Copilot AI model for the Ukrainian language to enhance the accuracy and speed of processing complex queries. * **Allow Copilot Hotkey Change:** The system assignment of **Alt + Space** conflicts with popular launchers. Please add an option in Windows Settings to **change the system hotkey** for launching Copilot. ### 3. Windows Organization Improvement * **Expanded Desktop Sorting Options:** Please add more context- or **category-based sorting options** to the Desktop "Sort by" menu to improve the logical order of icons (beyond just "Name" and "Item type"). Thank you for your attention to these critical suggestions.2Views0likes0CommentsAccessing a third-party NAS with SMB in Windows 11 24H2 may fail (Work Around)
So as we all know that Windows 11 24H2 created an issue for us that have older NAS products and have been using it for years and the fact that they still work, points to this topic write. I believe in to the point solutions without all the GIGO. This fix is an attempt to restore the SMB settings back to what they were before the update 24H2. One important thing here is that it allows me to access the OLD NAS by its network name address Eg: /serverName/sharedFolder But it did not allow me to access my NAS using its IP.. further research needed. Good luck and here it is: First if you are using a Windows Home edition, add the gpeditj (Policy Editor) Put this inside a *.bat file and run in a command windows opened with admin rights. add_gpedit.bat =========== ech0 off pushd "%~dp0" dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i" pause FIX SMB CONNECTION after 24H2 Update on Windows 11 In Registry: Navigate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters Look for: AllowInsecureGuestAuth → If it exists, set it to 1. (If not, create a DWORD (32-bit) value and set it to 1.) Find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters Modify or add these registry entries: RequireSecuritySignature: Set this to 0 (if it was set to 1). EnableSecuritySignature: Set this to 0 (if it was set to 1). Enable plain text password: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters If the value EnablePlainTextPassword exists, set it to 0 (or delete it) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters Set RequireSecuritySignature to 0 if it was set previously. In Windows Features: Make sure SMB is on and uncheck the removal one Only check the Cleint SMB Then in Powershell: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol-Client -NoRestart gpedit.msc Enable Guest Access for SMB2 Navigate: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation Find: Enable insecure guest logons Enable it.

Hi there, I've been asked by a client to design and deploy a Copilot Agent as part of a Sharepoint intranet build. The client would like the Sharepoint pane to be persistently open when their users are visiting Sharepoint pages - even better if it can start a conversation like a customer service chatbot. Could someone let me know if this is possible? Using iFrames looks really clunky, and we're not convinced users will know to click the Copilot icon that's currently in the top right. Copilot itself thinks it's possible but the Javascript it gives me doesn't seem to work! ThanksPoor and unpredictable UX for adding new default app per filetype settings
Hi, as a Win11 user, I see this problem, especially troublesome if we don't have Admin access (like work PCs) Let's say I meet a new file extension, like .mbox , find info's that os typical mail file and wish to pair it with Outlook - honestly it's my case now. When I try to choose default App, I may get a few options, but would need luck to have the Outlook listed there. Otherwise I need to find program by path, and not only that requires me to know it, but also if I don't have permission to view the directory (like by Admin limits when I use company device), there's nothing I could do. Please improve this setting, maybe allow the search field on 'select default app' to provide a name, or in "Settings :: Default Apps" please add new button to add new relation 'file format to default app' - currently it provides nothing additional but viewing or modification existing correlations. Best regards and feel free to reach me PS screen 1 shows many things, like on terminal in upper right that the 'olk.exe' link I can see but not link to app, is a soft link to a prohibited directory. If I choose the link as default prog, I get error: The file cannot be accessed by the system".6Views0likes0CommentsHuawei Share (SMB 1.0/CIFS) not working on Windows 11
I can't use Huawei Share (in my phone and tablet) because it stopped working just after I've in-place updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (25H2). How can I make it working again? It uses the old SMB 1.0/CIFS. In Windows 11 I already checked this service is active and my Wi-Fi network is set as private.15Views0likes1Comment24 Hidden Windows 11 Features You’ll Wish You Found Sooner

Hello! I’ve been using my Bose QC Ultra headphones for a couple of months now. But in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been facing a weird disconnection issue with my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon running Windows 11 Pro). Most of the time when I power on both my laptop and headphones, they fail to establish a stable connection. They just keep connecting and immediately disconnecting, until I manually click the Connect button. Has anyone else faced this? Any idea how to fix it? Things I’ve already tried: Hard reset the headphones Disabled multi-point connection Removed all paired devices (both laptop and headphones) Uninstalled the Bose app from my phone Uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth driver on my laptop Installed the latest drivers, BIOS update from Lenovo’s website, and all Windows updates I’m out of ideas here. Any help would be appreciated!Solved22Views0likes1Comment
