After upgrading the system to Windows 11, clicking on the taskbar search box continuously displays a loading state (spinning circle or no results). However, the search function works normally on another computer upgraded to the same version. It is currently unclear whether this issue is caused by differences in system configuration or corruption of the index. A targeted repair solution is requested.
How to escalate support issues.
I have an issue with Microsoft's Backup and Restore and File History on Windows 11. Specifically, the shadow copy space is empty and set to 1GB, but the error complains that the shadow space is full or too small. (I've run through every support article available) This was all working fine (on Win 11) until a couple of weeks ago. However, the support chat claims this is 3rd-party software and that Windows 7 backups cannot be restored to Windows 11, which has nothing to do with the issue at hand. The machine has never had Windows 7 installed, but the support agent insists that Windows 7 is unsupported, and hence, I'm using 3rd-party software and will not transfer me to anyone else, and no longer responds. The agent's reasoning just doesn't make sense to me. Is there any way to raise a support issue for Windows 11 or its components? This reminds me of trying to install Windows Vista; although it was a forced upgrade that failed, the support agent just insisted Microsoft Vista wasn't Microsoft software.
Windows 7 What Browsers will still work with Windows 7?
I have a neighbor who has an old HP desktop he wants to give to his 10-year-old Grandson to get him started on computers. I set the computer back to out-of-the-box settings and cloned the disk to an SSD. The problem I am having is finding a browser that still works on Windows 7. I have downloaded and burned to CD several that said they would work, but don't. Are there really one that still works on a 7 computer? I saw a couple that said will work, but needs Windows 7 with SP1, which is not available any longer. I see Windows 10 programs are still available, but I don't know if he wants to spend the $$$. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Anyone with a blank widget screen? - The fix

Can Windows 11 Automatically Restrict File and Network Access for All Newly Downloaded Applications?
In the system settings, only options to restrict access for Microsoft Store applications can be found, with no way to limit non-Store applications downloaded from other sources. This means any program downloaded from the internet has full access to local files and the network by default, posing potential security risks. I hope the system can, like managing camera or location permissions, automatically restrict file read/write and network connection permissions for all newly added applications, and prompt the user for authorization when needed.Windows 11 - Windows Update - Automatic restart after update
Hello We migrated our systems to Windows 11 24H2 from Windows 10. We encountered a problem with Windows 11 24H2 automatically restarting after installing an update. A message appears that the system will restart in 15 minutes. The user can click a different time. After a few minutes, the message that the system will restart appears again. How do I disable automatic restarting after installing the update? We have set the active hours for the system and the "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" option. When we had Windows 10, the system would not restart. After installing the December update for Windows 11, the system forced a restart. The problem occurs on all computers. How do I disable automatic restart? Update via Wsus.

Win 11 not recognizing external monitor
With my 2 year old ASUS Flow z13 laptop, connected to my 65" TV, I've been gaming happily but just recently Win11 refuses to see any external TV / monitors I attach to it. I've changed cables, TV / monitors, plus etc but nothing works. I suspect it might be related to me allowing my TV and computer to Time-out while I was doing something else. When i came back, my TV was off (auto turn off) and same with my Laptop. Now Win11 does see any attached external monitor. Help ! I'm hoping this is Win11 bug and not my laptop hardware fault.
