371 TopicsWhen using the search function, search results cannot be sorted by modification date.
After performing a file search in File Explorer, the Modified Date column header in the search results list cannot be clicked to sort the results, and the sort option appears grayed out and unavailable. You can only sort by name; sorting by date is not possible. The sorting function returns to normal after exiting the search and returning to the standard folder view.18Views0likes1CommentJune 9th Update - Buggy Start Menu Category View
Hi, The latest cumulative update from June introduced a new Start menu and disrupted its behavior in certain situations. Normally, it would allow you to set one of the following view options: Category, Grid, or List. This setting should have persisted. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Under certain circumstances, Windows keeps reverting to the Categories view, regardless of your previous selection. According to https://james-rankin.com/articles/quickpost-windows-11-start-menu-reverts-to-category-view-after-group-policy-refresh/?trk=public_post_comment-text, this issue stems from a bug in combination with specific GPOs. My conclusion is that Microsoft introduced a bug in the June update. Surprisingly, little information is available when searching for this issue online. This seems particularly true when reviewing the GPOs mentioned in the article, which include certain advertisement and tracking options. I am surprised by how little is documented about this online. Personally, this only affects my company machines due to one or two of those GPOs, I suspect. I wonder how many others in this community are also affected by this bug.190Views0likes4CommentsA problem has occurred with the window
When the window is maximized, dragging the title bar with the mouse does not restore the window to its normal resizable state. The drag action is ignored, or the window flickers briefly but remains maximized. Double-clicking the title bar also has no effect; you must manually click the restore button in the upper-right corner to restore the window to its normal size.31Views0likes3CommentsWindows narrator keeps turning on.
I just completed 2 windows updates this morning and since then, when the computer "goes to sleep" and I wake it, the narrator program starts to run. I shut it off but it will turn back on the next time it goes to sleep again. I checked the task manager/start up and narrator is not listed in there. I'm running Windows 11 and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.435Views0likes6CommentsWhen switching projection modes, the panel appears but the options do not respond when tapped
After pressing the Win + P shortcut, the projection mode panel on the right side of the screen pops up as expected, but clicking options such as Duplicate,Extend, or Computer screen only produces no response. I am unable to switch display modes and must manually adjust them via Settings → System → Display → Multiple displays.32Views0likes1CommentAfter entering the passcode on the lock screen, the system freezes on a black screen.
After entering my password or PIN on the lock screen and pressing Enter, the screen goes black and stays that way for 5–10 seconds before the desktop appears. This issue does not occur every time I log in, but it happens quite frequently. I have tried disabling Fast Startup and updating my graphics card drivers, but the problem persists.46Views0likes2CommentsWhen dragging a file onto a pinned app on the taskbar, the app cannot accept the file and open it
When you drag a file from File Explorer onto an app icon pinned to the taskbar, the app does not automatically launch or open the file, and the drag-and-drop action produces no response. Even if the app itself supports opening files via drag-and-drop, this feature does not work.13Views0likes0CommentsIn Windows 11, the app icon remains on the taskbar even after the app is closed in Task Manager
After ending an application's process via Task Manager, the application's taskbar icon does not disappear immediately; it remains visible on the taskbar. When you hover the mouse over this lingering icon, it suddenly disappears. Although this does not affect usability, it creates a visually cluttered appearance.49Views0likes2Comments- 49Views0likes2Comments
ROBOCOPY and UGREEN NAS DH2300
I was editing data when I noticed that my Network Attached Storage (NAS) hard drives were thrashing. Technically, that is what is supposed to happen when configured to update 'real time'. I have been a long-time user of a batch file to execute ROBOCOPY. It is clean and efficient, one of the better items Microsoft has created. Go figure, right? Anyway, being who I am and what I have done in my career, I got the idea to edit in Windows on two separate NVME hard drives (much data and large files) then execute a batch file to run ROBOCOPY. This consolidated all data onto one spin-drive in my Windows PC. The first time I did this, my DH2300 NAS was active. All configured SYNC and BACKUP tasks indicated 'BAD' and would not execute. I had to delete the NAS tasks and recreate them. After several attempts and recreations, I thought that I might shutdown the UGREEN NAS DH2300, run the Windows PC batch file for ROBOCOPY, then start the UGREEN NAS back up in order for the UGREEN NAS Client Sync & Backup app to 'do its thing'. WRONG! All tasks indicated 'BAD' again. I've made it a practice to delete the NAS Tasks after running Windows ROBOCOPY then recreating all seven NAS tasks. Only then will these properly execute. Would anyone have any idea as to what is going on to cause this? I've asked on UGREEN's FB resource page, and they are suggesting that it is a ROBOCOPY issue (Pass-the-buck = EASY). I suppose that's possible, BUT I've used ROBOCOPY for YEARS. It skips over any unchanged file and only changes/updates files when changed. Still, I must ask.32Views0likes1Comment
