Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore. On Windows 10 this works: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like. On Windows 11: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there. So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10. Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?
What's one 'missing' feature from a previous version of windows that you would bring back ?
As a designer, I would love the folder previews within the File Explorer icon. My workflow involves navigating folders filled with hundreds of project files. In windows 10 , that little thumbnail preview on the folder icon itself was an incredibly fast, visual way to identify the right project folder without having to open it or read the name. It is a tiny change but it was helpful on my workflow. I still appreciate much of the new design and security enhancement of Windows 11.

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.
Windows 11 that causes severe eye strain and headaches
Hello, I am reporting a serious display-related issue in Windows 11 that causes severe eye strain and headaches and makes the OS unusable for me and a few other people. We migrated the entire company, 300 people, from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to security requirements, but now about 30 employees are suffering from headaches. Since switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I experience strong headaches and visual discomfort even during short sessions and even when simply looking at the desktop with no active workload. This issue is consistent and reproducible. Based on extensive testing, I suspect Windows 11 applies forced temporal dithering or other frame-to-frame color modulation at the OS / DWM / graphics pipeline level, even when using a native 8-bit display. System configuration: Native 8-bit IPS monitor (not 6-bit + FRC) NVIDIA GPU HDR fully disabled (Windows, driver, and monitor) Tested via DisplayPort and HDMI Multiple refresh rates and timings tested Troubleshooting steps already performed: Clean installation of multiple NVIDIA drivers (Game Ready and Studio, DDU used) Explicitly set 8 bpc color depth Tested RGB and YCbCr output formats Disabled G-SYNC / VRR at both driver and monitor levels Disabled MPO (Multiplane Overlay) via registry Reset NVIDIA Control Panel to defaults Removed all custom ICC profiles and reverted to default sRGB Disabled Night Light, blue light filters, and all adaptive color features Tested different brightness levels and fully disabled monitor post-processing Tested multiple scaling settings (100–150%) Tested different resolutions and timing standards (CVT / CVT-RB) Tested output via integrated GPU (where available) Key observation: With the exact same hardware, cables, monitor, and settings, Windows 10 does not cause these symptoms. The problem appears only on Windows 11, which strongly suggests a change in the Windows 11 graphics pipeline, DWM behavior, or color management. This is not a subjective preference issue but a health-related problem. Questions: Is there any supported or undocumented way to fully disable THIS in Windows 11? If not, then are there plans to provide explicit user control over color modulation in future Windows versions, given that this behavior causes severe eye strain and headaches for some users? I would appreciate a response from a technical specialist familiar with Windows graphics, DWM, and display output behavior.The OneDrive share menu in Windows 11 has changed.
After selecting a file and clicking the top share button or right-clicking “Share,” the pop-up menu fails to generate viewable/editable share links (only supports sending via Outlook attachments or standard copy). The folder share button appears grayed out and unusable, even for folders previously shared successfully. Suspecting this is due to an interface change from an update, how can I restore the previous sharing functionality?Windows 10 still better than 11
So dear Microsoft, don't scare us hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users that you will stop supporting it and don't force us to switch to a worse system - Windows 11. ! When in the supposedly more modern Windows 11 system engineering, calculation, simulation, graphic, assembly, 3D rendering, animation programs will run as fast or faster as in Windows 10, and when Games will run faster than in Windows 10, we will think about switching. Currently, Windows 10 is often a dozen or so percent faster in many games and programs! Or better say Windows 11 is even a dozen or so percent slower than Windows 10 :) You have a problem with programmers/coders/developers, I guess, problems with code optimization, there are probably a lot of programming errors in the Kernel that this system works slower than the older Windows 10! ;) Or other problems "under the hood" that the more modern system works slower than the old one. (so MS don't force us to switch to a worse product from a better one :) I'm not even mentioning that W11 is good for amateurs, ;) a lot of things happen secretly.. enthusiasts prefer the more transparent Win10 :) It's easier to recognize what the system is doing..)How can I easily install pending Windows updates on my PC?

I am unable to control my external monitor’s brightness through Windows 11 settings, but third-party software like Twinkle Tray works fine. I want to understand why Windows doesn’t provide this feature and if there is a way to enable it without using third-party apps. System Specifications: OS: Windows 11 (latest updates installed) CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (latest drivers installed) Monitor: LG 34GP63A Connection Type: DisplayPort 1.4 (tried HDMI, same issue) Issue Details: The Windows brightness slider is missing for my external monitor. Brightness adjustment works with Twinkle Tray, meaning my monitor might support DDC/CI. No brightness control option in NVIDIA Control Panel, only gamma and contrast. Monitor OSD settings don’t show any clear option for DDC/CI (only OSD Lock On/Off). What I’ve Tried: Checked Windows Display settings (no brightness slider). Enabled OSD settings, but no DDC/CI option found. Updated NVIDIA drivers and Windows. Switched to DisplayPort, but the issue remains. Tried adjusting brightness in NVIDIA Control Panel (only gamma available). Questions: Does Windows 11 natively support brightness control for external monitors? Why does third-party software work but not Windows? Is there a way to enable DDC/CI in Windows without external apps? Could this be a driver or hardware limitation? I’d appreciate any insights or possible solutions! Thanks in advance.
