Windows 11 frequently minimizes all windows automatically; standard solutions have not worked.
For the past couple of days, my computer has been automatically minimizing all open windows for no apparent reason. This happens whether I'm using a browser, playing games, or running other applications. I've tried the common solutions I found online, but the problem persists. How can I fix this?After enabling Auto-hide on the Windows 11 taskbar, applications cannot bring up the taskbar
After enabling the taskbar auto-hide feature, when using windowed full-screen applications such as emulators or AMD Software, moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen does not bring up the taskbar. I have tried common solutions such as restoring the system to factory settings and disabling NVIDIA in-game overlay, but none of them worked. This issue occurs in both the 23H2 and 24H2 versions. Is this how Windows 11 is designed to work, or have I configured something incorrectly?
Wifi not working after deleting capability access manager db
is there someone here with some computer windows know how - I was having a problem with the capability accessmanager database consuming all my hard drive space and so every bit of advice I found online from even windows forums was to simply delete the db file and windows will automatically recreate it but it will eliminate the enormous file upon next restart I did that and now though I don't have any wifi connection and I get an error message in services when I try to restart the capability access manager service - I don't know what to do now I have windows 11. All the advice I found online was saying that if you delete the database file that is okay because windows just recreates it when you restart as long as Capability Access manager service isn't disabled - well I didn't disable it, I just followed the directions to go into safe.mode and delete the db file But now after restarts the Capability access manager remains disabled and I can't start it in the services.msc
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?
Windows 11 Themes and custom Windows colors and power standby
Looking for ideas on how to prevent custom Windows colors from being ignored / reset after a Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer resumes from power standby. This issue was not present in Windows 7, not sure about Windows 8. The current work around I utilize, is to save my custom colors by saving a Window Theme and then re-apply that theme every time after the computer resumes from power standby. The custom Windows colors I apply, being a light grey, instead of bright white, are applied through the below registry setting... [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "Window"="192 192 192" Thanks, and kind regards, AjN3806Why are there so few apps that offer dashboards or feed providers in the Windows 11 Widgets panel?
Why are there almost no apps in the Microsoft Store that offer dashboards or feed providers for the Windows 11 Widgets panel? Moreover, most of the existing widgets have limited functionality and aren't very practical. What are your thoughts on this?
I feel like the current Windows 11 experience is more comfortable than Windows 10.
When Windows 11 was first released, it certainly had a lot of issues and offered a poor user experience. However, looking at the overall evolution, each new version has added features and refined details, and even some components that had remained unchanged for years have finally received modern updates. File Explorer now includes official tabs, and the experience of pinning items to the Start menu has been significantly improved—it’s every bit as good as Windows 10’s tile design. The system sounds are now more subtle, and the UI is becoming increasingly pleasing to the eye; using it now feels very comfortable.
Alienware R15 AMD Desktop
Alienware R15 AMD desktop shuts down intermittently. Did a clean W11 install a couple of weeks ago to try and fix this issue but it’s still happening. “Startup repair” is always unsuccessful with “Error: OS_BOOT_FAILURE”. I’ll then launch “System repair” and that works. The “Scan Hardware” diagnostic always comes back with “Everything looks good” I’ve run a memory test which passed and also scanned the HDD and SDD with and both drives come back “Good”. What should I look at next? ????
