I recently encountered a problem where I accidentally emptied my Recycle Bin on my Windows 11 PC, and lost several important files that I hadn't intended to delete. I understand that once the Recycle Bin is emptied, the files aren't easily recoverable, but I’m hoping there might still be a way to get them back. Has anyone else experienced this issue and successfully recover deleted files after emptying the recycle bin? I’ve read that it might be possible to recover deleted files using specialized data recovery software. If anyone has recommendations for reliable tools or methods that can help retrieve files after they’ve been permanently deleted, I would greatly appreciate your advice.Solved85KViews1like14CommentsI want to be able to group app icons on Start menu - Windows 11
for example I want to put PWAs icons in one group, put Photo related app/software icons in another group and so on.

Turn the "Show more options" context menu into a slide down menu and show those extra options in modern style Change the Windows 11 context menu so that when user clicks/taps on "show more options", the context menu expands and the rest of the options become visible in the same modern style with a sliding down animation, possibility with the ability for user to scroll up/down through the options (with mouse wheel or touch).

If you install Windows 11 latest version from Windows insider and have the latest Edge canary, you can enable this flag, restart your browser and see the new changes in the Edge UI. edge://flags/#edge-pc-ui-integration Edge menu on the right is transparent as well as right-click context menu on different parts of Edge, they are really nice, but the rest of the settings page is still in the old gray style. I know it's still work in progress, but I hope once Edge developers are done with it, they complete the transparent page for Edge and don't leave it like this. the toolbar and title bar also should be transparent too. hopefully Edge's settings page will eventually look like Windows 11's settings page.14KViews3likes0CommentsAdd Cryptocurrency Watchlist Widget to Windows 11 Widgets, more useful than stock market watchlist
