HP Pavilion 15 Turns Off When USB Device Is Connected
Hi, I’m facing an issue with my HP Pavilion 15 (Windows 11). Whenever I try to charge my e-cig device using the laptop’s USB port, the laptop shuts down instantly without any warning or error. The battery health is good, and the laptop charges other devices (phone, earbuds, etc.) normally. The device also works fine when charged with a wall adapter. Is this related to USB power delivery, overcurrent protection, or a hardware/firmware safety feature in Windows laptops? Has anyone else experienced this? ThanksIs it a feature or a bug?
Hi, Romanian keyboard comes in 3 flavors: traditional, standard, programers. It seems you cannot uninstall one of them. I only use standard, which as the name says, it supposed to be... standard. Except not, the default layout is Traditional. Although I have setup standard as default layout, whenever I log in on that computer remotely, it defaults to traditional, which results in many failed logins as the characters in the passwords don't match the layout :). Is there a way to setup default keyboard layout for RDC?
LIveCaptions cannot disable or get rid of this junk
I bought new Dell laptop and now LiveCaptions message keeps showing up across top bar and cannot be disabled or uninstalled. I went into Accessibility in controls panel and also tried the gear setting on top right of the top bar to no avail. I have contacted Dell where I bought the laptop and also Microsoft Support who didn't know a clue and only asked me to go to this forum. I have issued two service tickets and not heard from anyone. The LiveCaptions bar pops up when booting up and is also prompted at certain intervals when running apps or something which I cannot ascertain.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.

The New Start Menu Is a Perfect Example of Microsoft Forcing Unwanted “Features” on Users
I’m posting this because I’m beyond fed up with the direction Microsoft is taking with Windows, and the latest Start Menu redesign is really unwelcomed. Whoever decided to implement the new “All” section with forced Categories, Grid/List views, and a permanently attached app list seems to have completely forgotten something fundamental: this is my Start Menu, not theirs. I’ve already turned off every bit of clutter I can — Recommended, recent files, “suggestions,” all of it. Yet Windows still insists on injecting an enormous block of UI I never asked for and will never use. I don’t care whether it’s Categories, List, or Grid. I don’t want any of it. I want the Start menu to show ONLY the pinned items I chose, nothing else, the same way it worked for years. But now? Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to collapse, hide, disable, or eliminate this lower “All” section entirely. It wastes space, disrupts workflow muscle memory, and provides zero value for users who already know exactly what they need. It’s an unwanted visual and functional takeover of the one UI element that should be the most personal and customizable. This is exactly the type of “change for the sake of change” that pushes long‑time Windows users away. It feels like decisions are being made by people who never actually use Windows for real work, and who believe their design experiments matter more than respecting users’ preferences. I’m tired of being forced into UI experiments I never opted into. I’m tired of updates that remove more choice than they add. And I’m tired of Microsoft ignoring the most universal feedback users keep giving: Stop shoving new UI elements in our faces and give us back full control over our own operating system. If Microsoft wants people to stay enthusiastic about Windows instead of increasingly frustrated with every forced redesign, then we need true user‑controlled customization — not “pick between three unwanted layouts,” not “view modes,” not scripts, not policies, not third‑party hacks. Just a simple, basic ability to hide what we don’t want. Give us the Start Menu we choose, not the Start Menu you decide we should have.
