Create a task which runs for all user
I want to use Task Schedule to run an app at log-on for all users on my PC using admin rights. How can I do that? I tried to choose to start at log-on for any user in the tab Triggers but the task only runs on my admin account. When I log out and log in to my user accounts it doesn't work. Thank you for reading.
Can I downgrade to Windows 10 at this point in time?
I have been working with Windows 11 for several years now. I feel like Windows 11 is not a fit for my needs any more. Can I switch back to Windows 10 at this in time? Especially since support for Windows 10 has been stopped? Maybe by paying for the extended support?
KB5077181 update causes HDMI port to fail
KB5077181 update causes HDMI port to fail. Worked prior to this 2/11/2026 update. K have the 3 display devices: Dell 1536 Laptop Integrated Display, dual monitor duplicated on HP2301 Monitor on USB-C port. Prior to the update, the HP2311 Monitor on HDMI port worked as well. After the update, the 2311 monitor does not see an HDMI signal and goes to sleep. I also tried the handshake reset procedure (obscure procedure found with CoPilot) which fixed a similar issue with 25H2 update, but that failed. No configuration or driver changes. Note - monitor drivers are no longer supplied for W10 or later OS. The 2311 shows up when I selected "Show Hidden Devices". Hesitant to try AMD graphics update, BIOS, etc., as the 2301 monitor is also still working. Last, tried to do a uninstall of this KB, but apparently not possible with this update. Suggestions? Thanks.Save the date: Windows Office Hours - February 19, 2026

Feature Request: Auto‑Import Photos from Mobile Devices and Free Space on Phone
Title: Automatic import of photos from a phone via USB with the option to delete them from the device after copying Request content: I would like to propose a feature that will significantly simplify photo management on mobile devices connected to Windows via USB (USB-A / USB-C). Problem: Phones fill up their memory very quickly with photos and videos. Currently, Windows does not offer an automatic mechanism that, after connecting a phone via USB, could: - automatically copy new photos to the computer, - and delete files from the phone that have already been safely transferred. The user must perform these steps manually, which is time-consuming and inconvenient. Proposed solution: After connecting a phone to a computer via USB, Windows should enable: - Automatic import of new photos and videos to a selected folder. - Optional automatic deletion of files from the phone that have already been copied to the computer. - Ability to enable/disable this feature in settings. - Integration with Power Automate so that users can extend this feature with their own automations. Benefits for users: - saves space on your phone, - automatic photo backup on your computer, - no need to manually copy and select files, - convenience and time savings, - a useful feature for millions of Windows and smartphone users. I believe this feature should be natively available in Windows because it solves a real, everyday problem and perfectly aligns with the philosophy of automation and user convenience. Thank you for considering my idea.Windows 11 24H2/25H2 System Freeze After January 2026 Updates – Lenovo ThinkPad G2

i bought a new laptop and i typed the word, up, in the search bar. i typed, up, because it auto completes usually to updates, and then i click on check for updates, and the computer opens the update panel. i found the following problem. i press up. the check for updates appears. then i press check for updates, the blue button. and then, after any updates get installed, the keyboard stops typing completely. i go in the browser, and i cannot type. the only thing i can do in that occassion, is i can go back to the search bar, and i press backspace one time. and then it auto completes the word, up. this does not work if i have typed any other word, including, update. it appears to happen, only if you search for the, check for updates, button, by typing, up, and waiting for the autocomplete. after the keyboard gets stuck, you press backscape in the search bar, in the bottom of windows, and it auto completes, up. and you cannot type, until you restart.Windows 11 - Advanced display options problem
I found this problem with windows 11. I press on the desktop right click, and then display properties. Then i scroll down, and go to advanced display. There is a button there, that says usually 50hz on it. I hold the CTRL button on the keyboard, and i click on 50hz button 4 times. and the screen goes black. can that be fixed. i am not sure it broke something. also all drop down menus in windows 11, they go invisible if you ctrl click on them 2 times. for example, landscape or portrait drop down menu. if you hold ctrl and you click on it two times, it becomes invisible. after you open it again, then it works. can someone get this fixed.
Windows 11 search function slow to display results on initial boot.
The problem: When trying to search for an app for the first time since boot-up, the results are blank and takes around 20 seconds to be displayed. But the function has actually found the app I am searching for and its only the displaying part that is lagging because I can see the app's name being auto-completed and the app actually launches if I press enter at this stage. I remember this issue starting only recently, as in around 3-4 months ago if I am remembering it correct. I figured its the usual bug which will be fixed in the upcoming or the update after that but this has persisted for long enough for me to make a post in this forum. A video of what I am talking about can be found https://imgur.com/a/Zc6Q85X I am on build 26100.7462 for reference."Show recently used files" Checked But I Am Not Seeing Them.
I no longer see Recent files in File Explorer. My understanding is that this is a problem introduced by a Win11 update a while ago. But my understanding too is that these Folder Options should restore the Recent Files. But I am not seeing them. I'll be grateful for any help.
