Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore. On Windows 10 this works: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like. On Windows 11: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there. So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10. Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?
Unwanted keyboard layouts keep showing up
Greetings, In one of my Windows 11 PC I am experiencing a very annoying problem. I have two keyboard profiles: Japanese and Canadian multi-language (QWERTY). I switch between them with Win+SPACE shortcut. But ENG US and ENG UK also show up, despite the fact that I have not installed those keyboards or language packs. I have removed the corresponding registry entries in HKEY_USERS.Default/Keyboard Layout/Preload (data is 409 and 809) but this does not remove the keyboard layouts and when I reboot those registry entries are again there. How can I get rid once for all of unwanted keyboard layouts? I am clueless. Especially considering that this problem never occurred in my three other Win11 PC or a Win10 PC I own too. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Link to windows does not allow removal of old devices
On Samsung my Samsung Phone, the Link to windows app display my laptop 3 times. One is active, the other two are inactive. I assume there are duplicates because of resetting that laptop to factory defaults a couple of times since I got it 5 years ago. The problem is I cannot remove the old ones. They show as disconnected. There is no option to remove them. I use the copy/paste function across devices (very useful), but every time I copy/paste and get irritating messages on the phone saying 'cannot copy to xxxxxx device' where that devices is the laptop the phone is connected to. It's saying it cannot copy to the device I'm actually connected to, but it's referrring to old definition of that device. I've tried many ways to remove these old versions of the devices. For the last attempt, I removed the current connection from the phone, completely removed it from the laptop, then on the phone I cleared the data and cache for the link to windows app, then successfully re-paired the device. The old versions if device came back too! I believe the information is store in my Microsoft Account, but it's not externalised. Additionally, in my list of devices where my Microsoft Account is in use, it doesn't show the either the laptop or the phone, just a desktop PC and an Xbox. There clearly needs to be some way to permanently remove the connected history, particularly when the laptop has been used before but was reset. I've seen this issue reported many times, but there seems to be no way to fix this problem.Files left behind after uninstalling Windows 11 applications require cleaning up
After uninstalling applications, residual files often remain in locations like AppData. It is recommended that the system or app store should automatically clean these up during the uninstallation process to avoid the need for users to delete them manually.
Canon Pixma MG 3550 set up
Have installed the latest driver for my Canon Pixma MG 3550. I am fully up to date with Windows 11, have selected the correct WiFi network, followed all instructions to the letter. It refuses to detect the printer. Tried installing via USB, also refuses to detect the printer. Immensely frustrating. Would be grateful for any advice please.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 just completed 2 windows updates this morning and since then, when the computer "goes to sleep" and I wake it, the narrator program starts to run. I shut it off but it will turn back on the next time it goes to sleep again. I checked the task manager/start up and narrator is not listed in there. I'm running Windows 11 and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.After hiding the taskbar in Windows 11, the bottom buttons become unclickable.
When the taskbar is hidden and a window is maximized, buttons at the bottom of the screen cannot be clicked (the mouse needs to be moved up 1-2 pixels). This occurs in preview build 26300.7674 and is reproducible in apps like Excel and VS Code. Is this a common bug?
