Windows11 Sound settings don't remember per-app volume after reboot
After adjusting the volume levels for each app in Sound Settings → Volume Mixer, all app volume levels will be reset to 100% after the system restarts. Although the system volume is retained, the custom volume settings will be lost.I just want search to show apps only
All I care about is getting installed apps or system apps in my search results. There's already a tab that does this—but I'd rather just see apps by default or have the option to only show apps and nothing else. Anyone know if this is possible? Or is it just something we have to live with?What is the best qr code generator without expiration?
Hi, Trying to create a qr code for a business card, but running into a confusing issue. Many online qr code generators say they are free, but later the qr code stops working or requires a subscription. The goal is to find a qr code generator that does NOT expire and can be used long-term (for example, printing on flyers or business cards). From what I understand, this might be related to something called static qr codes, which seem to last forever because the data is directly embedded in the code instead of relying on a service. However, not sure which tools are actually safe and truly free without hidden limits. Currently using a Surface laptop (Windows 11). Any recommendations for the best qr code generator that no expiration or stop working in future?Trying to find a Windows Spotlight lockscreen image — pure black with tiny stars
I'm trying to track down a Windows Spotlight lockscreen image that showed up on my Windows 11 laptop around August 5–10, 2026. It was mostly pure black—like deep space—with lots of tiny, faint stars scattered evenly across the image. No planets, no Moon, no Milky Way band, no nebula, no landscape, no astronauts. Just a dark star field. I checked my Windows Spotlight cache and history, but the image isn't stored locally anymore. Does anyone recognize this one? Or know where I can find the original?PC Fan runs loudly even when no programs are open
My PC's cooling fan spins at high speed and produces excessive noise even when the system is idle with no applications running. This persistent loud fan activity occurs from the moment Windows starts and continues regardless of CPU usage, suggesting a potential issue with fan control settings, BIOS configuration, or a misbehaving background process.Comment Désinstaller complètement une application sur Windows 11 ?
Bonjour, j’essaie de supprimer complètement une application de mon ordinateur, mais après l’avoir désinstallée depuis les paramètres de Windows 11, je remarque qu’il reste encore des dossiers, des fichiers et peut-être des entrées dans le système.

Je voudrais surtout éviter de supprimer par erreur des fichiers importants de Windows. Si quelqu’un peut expliquer comment désinstaller une application SUR PC Windows 11 proprement, étape par étape, ce serait super. Merci !
Rename not working in File Explorer on Windows 11
For an unknown reason, File Explorer stopped letting me rename folders. It lets me create them, it lets me rename files, and I can rename files & folders using the Command Line. It is only File Explorer renaming folders that is a problem. I have done a Windows Repair (and several other things with the help of Copilot), and I am using Windows 11 Home 25H2 26200.9168 on a Surface Pro 11. Has anybody else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.Laptop recognizes RAM only after reseating it
My laptop only detects the installed RAM after I physically remove and reseat the memory module. This happens every time I boot from a cold start or restart, and I have to open the panel and reseat the RAM again just to get the system to recognize the full memory capacity.Any free png to svg converter that works on PC or Mac?
I'm working on a small design project and need to convert several PNG images into SVG format. Since SVG is vector-based and scales better for things like logos or icons, I prefer that over raster formats like PNG. Currently, I have a Windows 11 PC at office and Mac Mini at home. Now, I am looking for a reliable method to convert png to svg without compromising too much on quality or detail. Can you suggest a good png to svg converter for PC or Mac? Ideally, the tool should support batch conversion, allow for some level of customization (like smoothing or number of paths), and not be overly complex to use. Free options or open-source software would be preferred, but I'm also open to paid tools if they're worth it.
Issues while trying to build a graph connector to Azure SQL in M365 copilot
Dear All, I tried to create a Graph Connector to Azure SQL. I wanted to ingest data from Azure SQL and ask questions about it within Copilot for Microsoft 365. The graph connector was created in this Microsoft 365 Admin Centre within the 'Data sources' section in 'Search and Intelligence' menu: https://admin.microsoft.com/#/homepage The Microsoft documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/connecting-external-content-experiences#copilot-for-microsoft-365) screenshot below states that in order for the information to surface in Copilot for Microsoft 365, the fields "title," "url," and "iconUrl" need to be filled out during the configuration process. However, during the configuration process, I noticed that the 'iconUrl' field is greyed out. Hence, I am not able surface data from Azure SQL in Copilot for Microsoft 365. On the other hand, Microsoft Search and Sharepoint both displayed the Azure SQL data as I proceeded to configure the connector anyway. Is there any workaround for this? Are there any alternative approaches that I can take to surface the data in Copilot chat? Would appreciate any help regarding the same.
