Registry setting to exclude specific processes from UI Automation
Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a system-wide UIA blocking issue caused by one problematic application that interferes with my other applications that rely on UI Automation functionality. One application in my system hangs and frequently blocks UIA, which prevents my other automation tools from working properly. I need a way to exclude this specific process from UIA while keeping UIA enabled for everything else. What I'm Looking For: A registry setting to disable UIA for specific processes, similar to how Image File Execution Options works. Something like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ProblematicApp.exe "DisableUIAutomation"=dword:00000001 Does such a feature already exist that I might have missed in the documentation? Are there any alternative approaches to prevent specific processes from participating in UIA? Would this be something Microsoft might consider implementing? This would solve the issue by allowing me to continue using UIA for legitimate automation while preventing one bad actor from blocking the entire system. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

In file explorer: In file explorer, in a folder: My *.PSPIMAGE files will not show thumbnails, but rather the icon for it. 2) However, in file explorer in "Recent files" the thumbnails show up. This is a real productivity killer. How can I get the PSPIMAGE file thumbnails to show up in all folders? I have already made sure the box is unchecked in settings.

This error message came up when installing cumulative update for Windows 11 Version 24H2. It says: Windows Updates failed. Your device is missing important security updates.

But now, it is a big problem. How can I fix Windows 11 updates failed for Cumulative Update 24H2? Restart did not work as I tried a couple of times but no avail.
Agent not visible in M365 Copilot
I created an agent in M365, including its name, description, instructions, and required actions. The agent is properly tested in Copilot Studio and published, but it is not visible in the M365 Copilot agent list. Interestingly, one agent is visible while the other is not, and I am unable to determine the issue.
Windows 11 Bug: Print Screen Key Fails to Open Snipping Tool and Taskbar Becomes Unresponsive
Issue: When I press the Print Screen (PrtScn) key, the Snipping Tool does not open most of the time. Occasionally, pressing the key causes the taskbar to freeze, requiring a PC restart to regain functionality. Steps to Reproduce: Press the Print Screen key (configured to open Snipping Tool in Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → Print Screen). Observe that the Snipping Tool does not appear. The taskbar becomes unresponsive. Expected Behavior: Pressing the Print Screen key should reliably open the Snipping Tool. Taskbar should remain responsive. Actual Behavior: Snipping Tool fails to open most of the time. Taskbar may become frozen, requiring a restart to fix. Additional Notes: Issue happens intermittently, but frequently enough to disrupt workflow. Restarting the PC temporarily resolves the problem. Since the PC has very good specs, the issue is unlikely due to hardware limitations.
