I want to be able to group app icons on Start menu - Windows 11
for example I want to put PWAs icons in one group, put Photo related app/software icons in another group and so on. Ideally I want to do this by dragging an icon on start menu and dropping it on another icon to form a group - Windows 11 insider Upvote in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAdps2rClearing WPAD cache and settings (solution)
Hi all, I want to share the solution to clear all WPAD cache and settings on a Windows 10 or 11 machine. Step 1: Regedit Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Wpad: delete all underlying keys Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections: delete the keys "DefaultConnectionSettings" and "SaveLegacySettings" Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc: in the value "start", change the data value from "3" to "4 Step 2: Internet Options Advanced tab > Reset Internet Explorer Settings (incl Delete personal settings) > Reset Step 3: CMD as admin ipconfig /flushdns Step 4: reboot the machine twice Clearing the WPAD can be useful when getting this output from dsregcmd /status "Auto Detect PAC Status : Failed to auto detect the Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) script using WPAD. code: 0x80072f94" (Hybrid Azure AD Join Failure)Windows 11: Turn the "Show more options" context menu into a slide down menu
Turn the "Show more options" context menu into a slide down menu and show those extra options in modern style Change the Windows 11 context menu so that when user clicks/taps on "show more options", the context menu expands and the rest of the options become visible in the same modern style with a sliding down animation, possibility with the ability for user to scroll up/down through the options (with mouse wheel or touch).

If you install Windows 11 latest version from Windows insider and have the latest Edge canary, you can enable this flag, restart your browser and see the new changes in the Edge UI. edge://flags/#edge-pc-ui-integration Edge menu on the right is transparent as well as right-click context menu on different parts of Edge, they are really nice, but the rest of the settings page is still in the old gray style. I know it's still work in progress, but I hope once Edge developers are done with it, they complete the transparent page for Edge and don't leave it like this. the toolbar and title bar also should be transparent too. hopefully Edge's settings page will eventually look like Windows 11's settings page.
Windows 11: Remove search bar from Start menu
Remove search bar from Start menu, the search icon and all of its feature are already available next to start button There is no need to show search bar at the top of Start menu, keep it simple. the search functionality and icon is there right next to the start menu, with all of its features, don't need to duplicate it on start menu. keep start menu simple.

Does the M365 Online Repair within Control Panel fix teams?
I have executed multiple M365 Online Repairs before as a desktop analyst within my organisation. It always asks to close all applications so that it can work on them, except it doesn't ask to close Teams. I know that Teams is an M365 application, however does the Online Repair include Teams? I posted this on https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/does-the-m365-online-repair-within-control-panel/f1369319-3b7f-4ddd-9743-234241272b44?messageId=dce632b8-c6f4-4efb-9321-0934052c4afd, and the reply said they believe that is in included yet to post it here too just in case. Thanks!
Windows 11 Autopilot and language packages
Hi everyone, I work for a Company with about 10.000 employees. We have a working SCCM envoirenment and an Autopilot PoC which should go live in the near future. The whole project was in cooperation with DELL. The problem here is that DELL scammed us a little bit, because they always ensured us, that we will get the DELL ready image for the region where Notebook is deployed (DELL ready Image contains the LPs for all countries in the Region e.g. central Europe, Asia pecific etc.). At the End Dell told us, that it us technically not possible to provide us this image and the only thing they can do is to provide us the basic US image That's where our problem started... We need some languages for our subsidaries in some countries. Thus we tried to create a package for the Language install. 1. First idea was to use the Powershell cmdlet install-language (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/languagepackmanagement/install-language?view=windowsserver2022-ps). The problem here is that this package runs pretty unstable. During Autopilot the command needs about 30 Minutes to finish. Sometimes the command throws an error: "Language Pack or feature could only be partially installed. Error Code: -2147023436“ (I guess it is a timeout but I didn't find anything on Google). The strange thing here is that this cmdlet runs pretty good and stable in private envoirenment. I tested it on my PC at home with Windows 10 22H2 and on a company device with the Microsoft en-US base Image (Win 11 23H2). With Autopilot it worked 70-80% of the time and the rest failed. It was very strange that in the logs the cmdlet faild with error Code: -2147023436, but after Autopilot finished, the Language was available if I called get-language. I also monitored it in the OOBE with the powershell. Result: cmdlet sometimes failed, Language was av Does anyone know how install-language works in the Background? Which URLs are called or what this error code means? Thank you for every kind of help Best regards Sven
