Steelseries Merc Keyboard - Extended Keys unwanted new behaviors.
Greetings, Recently got the Windows 10 creators update for my PC. Aside from having to remove and rediscover my Sound Card, I am noticing this little annoying issue. This Keyboard (MERC SteelSeries by Ideazon) has an additional set of keys on the Left-hand side that offer the same functionals as a Gaming Pad Partial Qwerty, Numerpad Space, ETC. I am not getting this to work like it did before. Example Prior to Update the WSAD keys worked as they did in every other game, they were movement keys, there were combos setup IN GAME that would allow me to do other things. Post Update - Pressing the WSAD opens other windows features, most notably pressing the "W" open Microsoft Edge, and pressing the tab key opens Calculator. This has, of course, happened on the weekend when my downtime is most needed. Anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this? My thanks.
Unable to open start menu and settings Windows 11
I am on the beta channel of the Windows Insider Program for Windows 11 update but for the past 2 weeks, I have been facing issues with the start menu and settings. They don't open at all, I tried opening settings with CMD but I get "File system error(-805306367)". I did try reverting back updates using Advanced Startup Options Menu in Windows 11 but got another error. Couldn't find any other way to fix this. Need help ASAP. PS: No shortcuts related to Windows key work except Win+R.Let us choose device/PC name during Windows installation
Currently after we install Windows, we have to go to settings and change PC name and then perform another restart. so if Windows would let user choose a custom PC/device name, instead of randomly generating one, it would be more convenient.

Default app listing on Settings for Pale Moon web browser
I have noticed an issue regarding the Pale Moon web browser, installed into Windows. On Settings, Default Apps, Change Default by App, on the user that Pale Moon browser was installed from. The program is listed there three times, not just once. Indeed,. it seems I can change file associations properly when I enter each one of Pale Moon entries in the section, regardless. I have noticed the issue both on the Windows 10 PC at work, and on the machine I test Windows vNext LTSC. I have reported the issue to the developers of Pale Moon, and the main developer told me to report it to Microsoft, in the Windows Insider program. I prefer to use Pale Moon as the main browser. Note that Pale Moon is browser that is derived from Firefox, but it is forked from Firefox a few years back, meaning that it does not share the engine with Firefox (like Waterfox, Iceweseal, SeaMonkey etc), but the developers are in touch with the main Mozilla developers, in order to patch any security vulnerabilities found in Firefox that are enherited by Pale Moon. I have used the standard 64 bit installer from Pale Moon on each case. Pale Moon no long has a build-in pdf viewer, but I use the one from Edge to open pdf files offline. The main page for Pale Moon is here http://www.palemoon.org/Remove the solid color square block from App icons in Windows settings => Apps
Remove the solid color square block from App icons in Windows settings => Apps to make the design consistent You've removed the solid color square from Appl icons in the start menu, now they have a nice trimmed look that are modern. but in Windows settings, app icons still have their solid color square, it makes things inconsistent and ugly.

There is a serious bug in the 32-bit kernel releases (x86) of Windows 10 22H2 (though older versions, such as 21H2 or 21H1 may also be affected; I have not tested). I was doing some test-installs of the latest 22H2 release, using install-media built from the Media Creation Tool. (The version that this tool creates is currently Build 19045.2006). To reproduce this bug, do the following: 1 Install the x86 version of Windows 10 Version 22H2 onto a PC, or inside a VM (e.g. Home or Pro) 2 After the Desktop appears, go to Start > Settings > Apps > Optional Features 3 Click "Windows Fax & Scan" in the list, then the "Uninstall" button 4 After the uninstall is finished, and "Reboot required" appears, restart the PC or VM session 5 During the next boot-up, it will first go to this screen briefly: "Updating your system 0%" But will then go to a blue-screen with this error: Stop code: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED What failed: NTFS.SYS 6 After a reboot, the blue-screen will appear again, then after the next reboot Windows will go to the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen 7 The only way to repair the Windows install is to use a System Restore point, should one exist I have been able to replicate this issue on ALL x86 kernel installs of Windows 10 22H2 I have tested, but the 64-bit (x64, AMD64) kernel versions are unaffected. I have no ARM devices to test. Needless to say, this should be treated as critical as this is easily reproduceable, and uses only built-in options supplied with Windows, but leaves systems completely unbootable afterwards. Thanks"View your network properties" direct shortcut?
Hello and greetings from Portugal! I'm trying to create a direct shortcut to "View your network properties" (Settings | Network & Internet | Status | View your network properties). Does anyone knows if there any kind of URI address to achieve this? Best Regards, Diogo SousaAdd URLs for Windows Settings for better and faster navigation
Control panel has URLs: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center the new Microsoft Edge Settings has URL: edge://settings/content/cookies they make life so much easier when user just wants to go straight to a settings page and modify an option, instead of going through each previous step or using search. this also comes a lot handy when helping someone else or explaining them where to go in the Settings to do what. in Windows settings, there is no such thing, so we have to do extra work every time and when helping others to go to a specific option, we should manually write it down, like Windows settings => system => keyboard => and so on Feedback hub link: https://aka.ms/AAaqfkj
