Windows 11: Auto-hide taskbar animation is laggy / low FPS (very noticeable on OLED displays)
I’m seeing a persistent UX issue with the “Automatically hide the taskbar” feature in Windows 11. Issue: When auto-hide is enabled, the show/hide animation looks laggy and low FPS and feels “wonky” compared to the rest of the UI, which is smooth. The taskbar technically works (it hides and shows), but the animation itself looks choppy. Why it matters: I’m using an OLED display, and many OLED users are encouraged to use auto-hide to reduce burn-in from a bright, static taskbar. Because of that, this animation quality directly affects day-to-day usability for a lot of people. Steps to reproduce: Right-click taskbar → Taskbar settings Enable “Automatically hide the taskbar” Move the mouse to the bottom edge to show the taskbar; move it away to hide Repeat several times and compare the smoothness to other Windows 11 UI animations Expected behavior: – Auto-hide animation should be smooth and high FPS, roughly matching the monitor refresh rate – Feels responsive and fluid, consistent with other Windows 11 animations Actual behavior: – Animation looks stuttery / low FPS / delayed – Very noticeable on high-refresh displays and OLED panels What I’ve already done: – Submitted detailed feedback via Feedback Hub – Tried suggested steps (e.g., checking animation settings). The feature works; the issue is specifically animation rendering quality, not that auto-hide is broken. I’d really appreciate it if this could be treated as a UI/UX performance issue and not just a generic support problem. Smoother auto-hide animations would greatly improve the experience for Windows 11 + OLED users who rely on this feature to reduce burn-in. Thanks in advance to anyone from the Windows team or community who can confirm this, share workarounds, or comment on whether this is already known internally.
Is vertical taskbar being added to Windows 11? Waiting for this before switching from Windows 10
I am using multiple monitors and on the horizontal displays I like to have the taskbar on the side of the screen so it doesn't reduce vertical space. I noticed Windows 11 is missing this feature, so, even though i am getting update notifications, I am not switching until this feature is carried over to the new version of the OS. I am perfectly happy with the feature set of Windows 10 and see no reason to upgrade otherwise.
Native software to allow android biometrics to unlock windows 11?
Is there ever going to be software from microsoft(for security reasons) to allow you to use a remote android computer tablet or similar to activate windows with biometrics? I have a Tab S11 ultra I want to use to unlock it for playing steam games. Will this ever be a thing. I think one of the problems with steam is it needs to be active to work via steam link. But this works if coming out of sleep mode specifically. But anything to allow this or for a seperate app to wake and remotely use the desktop would be wonderfully useful. Especially something official that is secure. I'm coming from linux and I don't use 3rd party software in general. Obviously it would be insanely insecure to use any such software that is not official. Could such software allowing a tablet to be used with other software to be a remote screen be used to not even need steamlink to play games. Unless the steamlink is better with the connection lag somehow.Windows11 windows service problem?

flyoobe download and how to use it for windows 11 upgrade?
I have a 7-year old ThinkPad laptop and plan to upgrade it to Windows 11. Unfortunately, the official upgrade approach does not work for this case as the CPU (Intel i5 6500U) is not supported by Windows 11. I did some searching and a couple of folks suggesting using flyoobe for this purpose. Unfortunately, after downloading flyoobe, it was not worked as advised. The Windows 11 setup program still says This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements. Is there any workaround to let me upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 without losing data?Do you use User Account Control in Windows 11?
I personally prefer to disable User Account Control after installing a new system, mainly because I find its pop-up prompts too frequent and disruptive to work, and also partly because I feel it may create a "false sense of security." While I fully understand that more security measures do indeed provide greater safety, I still make this choice. I’d like to know what others do and think: Do you typically keep UAC enabled on your own computer? I hope to hear about the pros and cons of tolerating UAC prompts, as well as the specific reasons and habits behind everyone's choice to enable or disable it.
Possible to put multiple iso files on one bootable usb flash drive from windows 11?
Office has a dozen of computers to get os reinstalled or updated from time to time. In the past , I usually prepared a couple of USB flash drives for different operating systems, such as Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. Now, it is not very convenient. I heard there is a way to put multiple iso files on one bootable usb drive. It is called multi-boot usb and you can only take one usb flash drive for reinstalling different OS. Is this correct? How can I do that on my Windows 11 laptop?
Acronis true image 2021 not compatible with Windows 11?
I wanted to upgrade my PC from Win10 to Win 11 eventually (this summer) but I just saw that my Acronis True Image 2021 is not supported by Acronis and is not necessarily compatible with Win 11. It is replaced by Acronis Office Protect essential which works with an annual subscription that is far too expensive to make a backup of the system partition and my files regularly (50 euros/year, the price I paid for the ACTI 2021 license!). I'm a little disgusted. Has anyone used ACTI 2017 to 2021 restore successfully under win 11? Do you know a serious free alternative to acronis True Image to regularly backup (and restore in case of crash) my system partition and backup/restore my important files? Thank you in advance for your help.How can I bulk translate english into spanish language on my pc?
Any good translator app available in Windows 11? I have a large volume of English text documents that I need to efficiently translate into Spanish on my Windows computer. I hope to find a reliable method to handle this in bulk, rather than copying and pasting small sections into a web translator. Can anyone recommend good standalone software, a script, or a detailed method to let me bulk translate english into spanish language? My priority is maintaining reasonable accuracy while processing many files or large documents at once. Ideally, the solution would handle formats like .txt or .docx. I've seen mentions of using Python with libraries or certain desktop applications, but I'm unsure where to start.
