Does Windows 11 have a desktop stack feature similar to the one on Apple Macs?
I’d like to confirm whether Windows 11 has a feature similar to the Stacks feature on Apple’s macOS desktop, which automatically groups and organizes desktop files by type, date, and other criteria. My desktop is a mess, and I really need a tool like this to help me organize it.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?
MATCH function over seperate tabs
I know a bit about functions but not enough to figure out why my formula stops working when I move the table data to a new tab. I have a several tabs with data, which I have created the data validation drop down lists, individual small tables for several areas of the spreadsheet that all gets collected on the "Daily Working Tab". I want the next table removed from the "Daily Working" Tab and put on it's own tabs of "Payee's" Right now, I have a formula that checks the value in column “AK” for each row in the table and returns “Y” if there’s a match or “-” if not, so I can see if I’ve added it to the relevant month for each of six months: =IFERROR(IF(MATCH($AK8,$E$8:$E$80,0),"Y"),"-") This works fine on the same tab, but as soon as I move the data to another tab, the updated formula =IFERROR(IF(MATCH($AK8,'Daily Working'!E8:E80,0),"Y"),"-") no longer works, even after fixing the “#REF!” error by pointing it to the correct tab and table to "'Daily Working'!$E$8:$E$80'". I’ve read about using several INDEX, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, nested IF, and MATCH combined functions, but I still can’t get it to work and baffled where or what I am doing wrong or need to do to get this to work. I have even split the information on different spreadsheets and it works but this defeats the purpose of having this all on one spreadsheet and different tabs. Probably simple to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA WPH.
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.mscHow can I prevent the screen from turning dark gray while using the Snipping Tool on Windows 11?

Windows 11 does not natively support creating shortcuts
I don't understand why you have to use the Registry Editor or import a .reg file to modify the items in the “New” menu. I hope Microsoft will provide a native settings interface to manage these shortcuts directly, without having to rely on the Registry Editor or third-party software.Is the way mobile notifications are displayed in the new Windows 11 Start menu a bit of a letdown?
In the new Start menu, phone notifications only display “1 new notification” instead of showing the actual text of the notification. Even though there is clearly enough space to display the full message, it only shows the name of the app that sent it, which isn’t very helpful. Users still need to open the “Phone Link” app to see the specific content of the notification. Since a dedicated phone status panel has already been designed, why add this extra step? Hopefully, Microsoft will provide an option in the future that allows users to customize how notifications are displayed.Can't convert heif images to jpg on my Windows 11 PC
I have a large batch of HEIF images taken from my digital cameras. As I’m looking to convert these images into the more universally compatible JPG format for easier sharing and usage, I would greatly appreciate any advice or methods that can help me bulk convert heif files to jpg on my Windows 11 PC. Before making a new post here, I tried to convert heif image to jpg with the photos app but it says it can't open heif file and asked me to install the HEIF Images Extensions. Unfortunate, I can't convert heif images even after installing the app from microsoft store. I am out of solutions from my own hands.
Is it normal for to get an error with a new product key but then upgrade on manual restart?
I tried to upgrade my new clean installed Windows 11 Home laptop to Windows 11 Education using a key that I got from Microsoft Azure for students (I already used this key once before on this laptop, but I clean installed it right now, so I'm using this key again on that same laptop). I entered the new key and it seemed to be working (it said installing upgrades) and when it got to 100% downloaded, it gave an error saying "We can't upgrade your edition of windows." So then I tried entering the product key again 2 more times, but then each time it gave another error saying "the product key you entered didn't work." So then I restarted my computer to hopefully fix the errors, but when I restarted, it got the regular black screen for updages, and it also said "adding features," so then it updated like that for only about a minute, and then booted up to normal Windows. I opened settings and it showed that Windows 11 Education was activated (with digital license to microsoft account). So then I entered the same product key one more time, and it said this copy of Windows has been successfully activated (even though it already was activated with Windows 11 Education after I restarted, which I don't know why it happened in the first place considering it gave an error?). It seems like all of the Education features are available though (like hyper-v and group policy). But why did this happen? Is Windows 11 Education successfully installed, or is it possible for it to be corrupted? What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
