Poor and unpredictable UX for adding new default app per filetype settings
Hi, as a Win11 user, I see this problem, especially troublesome if we don't have Admin access (like work PCs) Let's say I meet a new file extension, like .mbox , find info's that os typical mail file and wish to pair it with Outlook - honestly it's my case now. When I try to choose default App, I may get a few options, but would need luck to have the Outlook listed there. Otherwise I need to find program by path, and not only that requires me to know it, but also if I don't have permission to view the directory (like by Admin limits when I use company device), there's nothing I could do. Please improve this setting, maybe allow the search field on 'select default app' to provide a name, or in "Settings :: Default Apps" please add new button to add new relation 'file format to default app' - currently it provides nothing additional but viewing or modification existing correlations. Best regards and feel free to reach me PS screen 1 shows many things, like on terminal in upper right that the 'olk.exe' link I can see but not link to app, is a soft link to a prohibited directory. If I choose the link as default prog, I get error: The file cannot be accessed by the system".
Huawei Share (SMB 1.0/CIFS) not working on Windows 11
I can't use Huawei Share (in my phone and tablet) because it stopped working just after I've in-place updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (25H2). How can I make it working again? It uses the old SMB 1.0/CIFS. In Windows 11 I already checked this service is active and my Wi-Fi network is set as private.How to Remove False Virus Alerts Pop-ups on Windows 11
Hello, I encountered the identical issue as you did yesterday, mirroring your screenshots. Despite trying methods like installing Malwarebytes, no software detected anything. However, I managed to solve it through trial and error, and it turned out to be quite straightforward. To address the issue, open your browser settings – I personally use EDGE, then navigate to the option for Cookies and site permissions. Here's how you can do it: 1. Go to "Cookies and site permissions" 2. Select "Manage and delete cookies and site data" 3. At the top of the page, locate "Cookies and data stored" 4. Below that, find "Site permissions" 5. Then, navigate to "Recent activity" This is crucial—focus on recent changes in site permissions. You will see a list of recent sites; go through each one and reset permissions by clicking on it. Do this for every site that has been causing issues. Malware software didn't work in my case either, but once I completed this process, all the issues disappeared instantaneously. I genuinely hope this solution helps you too, knowing how frustrating such problems can be.
Proofing language remains stubbornly German
I have a PC bought in Germany with win11 Home in German (Os build 22631.5909). I changed win11 language to english, The language region options to english. Regional format to english. Keyboard to english. Uninstalled German from preferred languages and left only US english. It displays in english, but when I have to type something in an editor window, such as in a forum or a blog, the proofing language remains stubbornly German. Any idea why? PS: Sorry for my typing errors.... proofing doesn't work in this win11 community editor either.How to Install or Uninstall RSAT in Windows 11

Audio issue with repeat metalling tone while playing
In System > Sound > Properties > Output settings > Changing The selections of 16bit 8000 / 16000 / 48000 Hz The 8000 Hz range plays fine (or I don't hear the tone) but the 16000 Hz / 48000 Hz plays a repeating metalling tone, 16000 Hz at every 5-6 seconds, fainter tone and 48000 Hz every 2 seconds, is this a known issue? While running the windows troubleshooting it plays an audio sound, and there is no metallic tone while it plays, and it doesn't find any issues and all drivers are updated. Also, going into Sounds settings, playing the Sound Scheme: Windows Default sounds, all of them are wav files, none of them play a metallic tone while they run. That led me to think it's a decoder issue., rather than a physical jack issue, which is odd because my other headphone don't play any repeating metallic tone when connected. None of the headphones have audio issues when connected to other devices, like my phone. Is there any solution to this audio issue?
Please help me understand how Win11 is screwing this up
This is a picture of the properties of a particular VM I want to back up. This is a picture of an external HDD I have, which is completely empty (obviously). This is the error I get when I try to copy the above VM to the above external HDD. Clearly Win11 is totally screwing up space calculations here. Any idea how, why, and how to fix it?
