I’m on a Windows 11 laptop and I’m trying to convert a few videos to MP3 from YouTube so I can listen to them offline (mostly long interviews and tutorials while I’m commuting / working). I used to just Google “video to mp3” and click whatever came up, but lately those sites feel super sketchy – tons of pop-ups, fake download buttons, and sometimes the file that downloads isn’t even an MP3. I’d rather not install some random adware-ish program either. So for people on Windows 11: What are you actually using right now to convert video to MP3 for YouTube? Do you stick with online converters, or is there a nice lightweight app that’s not full of bloat? Anything you’ve tried that I should avoid? Just looking for something simple and safe that does the job without wrecking my PC. Any real-world suggestions would be appreciated!61Views0likes8CommentsRyzen 3 HP - Windows 11 Upgrade
Hi Folks! I want to upgrade the Windows version of my AMD Ryzen 3 laptop. Previously, I was using Windows 11, version 21H2 but past few weeks, it has started giving me a hard time, no automatic Windows Upgrade anymore. I researched this and found that my Laptop's hardware (CPU) does not meet the requirements needed for Windows 11. I was advised to install Windows 10, but I want Windows 11 with the upgraded version 22H2, at least, if possible.37Views0likes2CommentsMicrosoft forcing unwanted service onto users
Dear Microsoft, I have been a Windows user for many many years now and I loved windows for many years, but now I'm seriously leaving windows now. Since windows 10 you have been removing user rights in the windows and forcing your way of using the system onto us users, which I simply cannot accept anymore. If I buy a licens to Windows, then I should be the only one in charge of my windows install. Yet if I disable a function/service then you just turn it back on next time I update windows. Thats NOT RIGHT. And now you are removing the option to turn off these function/service, why? Leave my windows install alone. The latest issue you have done is removing the option to remove Copilot. When Copilot first was introduced, I could just uninstall copilot, and it was gone from my pc. Then you change it, so that if I disabled copilot it would disappear - I was fine with that. But now I can't even disable copilot in windows, the option is gone from the setting menu. And it everywhere in windows now and always in your face. I don't want to use it. If I want to use AI, I use ChatGPT (I know you own OpenAI) in the web browser, I just do not want copilot anywhere one my system, because I don't use it and is not going to use it. In your apps, like outlook, word, etc., you still allow users to disable copilot. However, before some update when a user disabled copilot it would disappear from the toolbar - Nice! But you changed that. Now the copilot button is still there, even if I actively disable it - WHY? Again, I do not want to use copilot which is why I'm actively disable it. So please, respect users' decision and stop forcing unwanted service onto users, especially when they have made an active decision to disable the set function/service. I'm leaving Windows for Linux. Outlook for Proton, Xbox for SteamOS, Office for Libre Office, Onedrive for Dropbox. I'm leaving Microsoft and all their products since they are not worth it anymore.52Views1like1CommentSave the date: Windows Office Hours - December 18, 2025

You need to implement mobile device management (MDM) for personal devices that runWindows 11. The solution must meet the following requirements:• Ensure that you can manage the personal devices by using Microsoft Intune.• Ensure that users can access company data seamlessly from their personal devices.• Ensure that users can only sign in to their personal devices by using their personalaccount.What should you use to add the devices to Azure AD?

I have attempted multiple methods to install a new version of the Snipe Tool on an offline computer, but all my efforts have failed. This means I will need to reinstall Windows 11 on my computer. Since this is an editing and graphics computer, I will also have to reinstall all my applications and plugins. I wish Microsoft had a solution for computers like mine and offered offline installation packages.25Views0likes1CommentIs there a way to access the file transfer dialogue processes using UWP in Windows 11?
I did not see a third party tool that existed for showing additional options for file conflicts. Windows XP has several options during a conflict. I am looking to improve the file conflict dialogue box in windows 11. I would like to add additional details prior and during a file transfer. The dialogue should include these details: File Name File Size Summarized (highest memory allocation) Size Detailed (measured in KB) Date Modified Date Created HASH MD5 SHA256 There should be an option to select during the conflict to keep: Newer Larger Rename file During the transfer there should be copy progress in percentage and amount of data transferred. I've been reading through the Microsoft documentation, but I can't find any handles on changing the file conflict dialogue except for this little bit. I need the solution to integrate into Windows Explorer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/develop/ui/controls/dialogs-and-flyouts/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/files/quickstart-using-file-and-folder-pickers https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/files/fast-file-properties Is there any documentation or handles for showing additional file details in C++, C#, PowerShell, Regedit, or Shell Extensions? Comparing older methods, it looked like they used a prompt suppressor then passed the value to the system, but I'm not seeing that as an option anymore. It looks like it is gone in Windows 11. Any other way and it looks like I would have to modify an existing open source explorer to create the necessary changes. Many users would be displeased by that.16Views0likes1Comment
