4 Topics[Request] be able to restart Windows Sandbox | Persistent vs Temporary Sandbox
Windows Sandbox cannot be used for testing any software installation which requires a restart. This is one of its shortcomings, I think Microsoft should implement some kind of setting in future to allow a 'persistent' Sandbox besides the current temporary Sandbox. so like user will be asked before launching it that whether they want a Temporary or Persistent sandbox. Temporary = everything is wiped clean after closing. Persistent = everything will be there even after host device restart/shutdown or Windows sandbox (guest OS) restart.25KViews9likes2CommentsLock the taskbar option should prevent from accidentally rearranging pinned items
Lock the taskbar option should Lock the taskbar and prevent from accidentally rearranging pinned items or Pinning new items to the taskbar currently lock the taskbar only prevents from accidentally dragging taskbar and moving it left/right/top. that actually never happened to me, when the taskbar is unlocked, I've never ever accidentally dragged the taskbar and moved it left/right/top. but instead it's happened lots of times when I accidentally added a new icon to taskbar, rearranged icons, deleted new icons, Unpinned an icon from taskbar. I need Lock the taskbar to prevent from these accidents too. this is more important and useful and makes more sense. please upvote this suggestion in the feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAainq9837Views1like0CommentsAdd "Add notes" feature to the Snip & Sketch app
Edge classic browser has this feature built-in, the ability to add little sticky notes on the screenshots we take. for people with no touch support and without digital pen, it's almost impossible to write something on the screenshots taken, with mouse it looks awful. if we could add small sticky notes to the screenshots taken via Snip & Sketch app that would be very helpful. because then we could type in those small areas normally.

When Microsoft originally purchased Mixer (then, Beam), it very quickly integrated the streaming service directly into Windows 10, allowing users to begin streaming at the touch of a button (or, well, a key combo). Moving forward, that will no longer be the case. Microsoft began working on a sweeping revamp of its Game Bar features for Windows 10, spinning it out to a separate app, and iterating updates based on user feedback. With the most recent update, Microsoft added an FPS counter to games and an achievement overlay. However, it also removed a fairly major feature. Mixer broadcasting direct from Windows 10 via the Game Bar is no longer supported. Instead, Microsoft advises users to opt for a tool like OBS, StreamLabs OBS, or XSplit, which the vast majority of Mixer streamers probably do already anyway. A Microsoft spokesperson provided this comment to Windows Central on the matter. "With continued, great feedback from the community and after careful consideration, we have decided to remove Mixer from Xbox Game Bar to focus on delivering new, more often requested experiences across Mixer, Windows 10 and the Xbox Game Bar. You can broadcast to Mixer from Windows 10 devices using third-party tools such as OBS, Streamlabs, and XSplit and continue to use Xbox Game Bar for screen capture and sharing, controlling your music and audio settings, finding new teammates with Looking for Group (LFG), and chatting with Xbox friends across Xbox console, mobile, and PC – all without leaving your game." Microsoft also quietly pruned the Xbox Tournament features from the OS recently, as well, perhaps as part of a wider effort to cull underused gaming features across the board. Either way, XSplit or OBS provides a far more feature-filled streaming experience than the Xbox Game Bar ever did for Mixer, so it's unlikely very many people were actively using it.
