Why Metro design should make a grand return
Metro UI wasn’t just a design language. It was a declaration. It respected motion, space, clarity, and user autonomy. It gave us live tiles that pulsed with relevance, panoramic pivots that guided flow, semantic zoom that revealed structure, and full-screen hubs that anchored experience. It was unapologetically modern, minimal, and meaningful. Then came the drift. Fluent UI buried Metro under acrylic, chrome, and overlays. It softened the edges, blurred the motion, and diluted the clarity. What was once a bold interface became ornamental. Metro was never about decoration—it was about discipline. Im still using Metro UI in my projects, not because I need too, because i like how it looks, but you created fluent design, that ruined it all. Microsoft, you knew Metro was good. You launched it with pride. You made it the face of Windows Phone, Zune, Xbox, and Windows 8. You called it “authentically digital.” You were right. So stop burying it. Stop apologizing for it. Stop pretending Fluent is a replacement. It’s not. Bring back Metro UI: As a first-class design option With full support for live tiles, semantic zoom, and panoramic navigation Without overlays, blur, or ornamental drift Not as nostalgia. As correction. Metro was clarity. Metro was discipline. Metro was good. Let it speak again.

This is an old post and the issue is no longer relevant. This has been happening since a couple of builds ago as well. I turn on the Memory Integrity in Core isolation section of Windows Defender, then after a restart or two, I go check again and see it's turned off. it usually happens when I uninstall a program that needs to be restarted. but it also happens when I uninstall a software that does Not need Windows restart to finish uninstall process. https://aka.ms/AA6xajf
Logitech Brio stop working after windows 11 build 22581 update (Beta channel)
Hello, I've just installed Windows 11 build 22581 from the Windows Insider Beta channel last night. Since then, my Logitech Brio camera stop working. My Logitech Brio was configured on my computer for Windows Hello facial authentication, so I'm sure it was working just fine before the update since I use it each time I'm logging in. I've tested the camera on antoher compter, it works fine. I've updated the camera to the latest firmware on this other computer just in case, but it doesn't help. Back on my main computer, the camera still appears in the Device Manager, but the device is not accessible from apps like the Camera app. I've tried the uninstall the device, then perform a scan to add it back in. The device is added but is not working... When I try the "Restore driver" option, it says that "the driver is not build for this plateform" Finally, I've tried to switch from the Beta to the Dev channel, just in case a fix was already available. But this seems not to be the case. So here I am Thanks in advance for you help.Xbox app is missing a lot of features from Xbox console companion
Xbox console companion app which is being depreciated and retired, has still a lot of useful features such as clubs, screenshot uploads, friends activity, uploading your own custom photo as avatar, viewing captures etc etc Xbox app has none of these, yet every time I open Xbox console companion app it says use Xbox app instead, I'm worried that none of these features are going to be added to the new Xbox app. I highly depend on these features and they are important ones.

Just like in VMware products, Hyper-V needs USB device passthrough, so that we can connect our USB device (USB network adapter, USB flash storage, USB printers etc.) straight to the guest OS VM such as Windows and Linux Upvote this on Feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAa8gclLet us turn off vulgar word filters in dictation in Windows 10
The word filter in Windows 10 dictation is quite annoying, it blocks our ability to type anything we want. there needs to be a toggle to turn this setting off. there Is no word filter when we type something with keyboard, so it doesn't make sense to have word filter when we use speech to text.
