Cannot Save Pinned Tiles Layout in Start Menu
I upgraded my Windows 11 to Build 22622.436 some days back, and then this issue started happening. I pinned some apps to Start, but the layout was reset after a reboot. I didn't some troubleshooting, and found if I restarted the process StartMenuExperienceHost, the layout would be reset. Here're some actions I have taken: 1. Restart my laptop. 2. Run sfc /scannow with an escalated PowerShell console. 3. Run lots of troubleshooters. 4. Rebuild icon cache: 4.1 Kill Explorer, remove iconcache*.db in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\, then start Explorer. 4.2 Kill Explorer, remove %LOCALAPPDATA%\iconcache.db, then start Explorer. Can anyone advise how I can get it sorted out? Thank you.703Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive(22.33.213.2) Keeps Crashing on Windows 11

Yes, already updated to v96 (Version 96.0.1054.43 (Official build) (x86_64) currently), but MAU still pops up every few hours. Does "It should now be available" mean the new update experience doesn't depend on MAU in version 96? Thank you.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsCan I Update Microsoft Edge for Mac Without MAU Now?
Olivia_Zhang shared a post to explain New Update Experience for Mac months ago, Is it available in Edge stable now? Now I'm running Version 95.0.1020.53 (Official build) (x86_64), and didn't detect new version, but MAU ran for many times in the past days. If the new experience is available in stable channel, I'm going to remove MAU.1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: New Update Experience for Mac available in Edge Beta / Dev / Canary
Thank you chungweileong If so, I'd like to install the dev version. Before new installation, I have a few concerns: 1. Does the installer of latest dev contain MAU? 2. If yes, does it work normally if I manually remove MAU? Thank you in advance.7.5KViews0likes2CommentsRe: New Update Experience for Mac available in Edge Beta / Dev / Canary
Thank you for sharing this exciting news Olivia_Zhang . I'm wondering if this has been rolled out to stable release, now I'm running Version 91.0.864.37 (Official build) (x86_64), and has manually removed MAU from my laptop. When I open edge://settings/help, it's stuck in Checking for updates, even for days.17KViews0likes4CommentsRe: How Can I Update Microsoft Edge for Mac without Microsoft AutoUpdate
Thank you. You know even though sometimes MAU does help, it's disgusting that Microsoft prevents you from other update channels. Like other browsers for Mac (FF, Chrome), it's a portable package, but for Edge, it's a installer. Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to update Edge without MAU.11KViews1like1CommentRe: How Can I Update Microsoft Edge for Mac without Microsoft AutoUpdate
Thank you HotCakeX for your reply. Per my understanding, if I download the pkg and install a new version, Microsoft AutoUpdate will be installed too. Am I right? If yes, it's really annoying, right? I have to remove this application every time.11KViews1like3CommentsHow Can I Update Microsoft Edge for Mac without Microsoft AutoUpdate
Hi, I'm running Microsoft Edge (stable) on MacOS, and recently I found Microsoft AutoUpdate costed too much resources, and caused the fan worked crazily. As a result, I uninstalled Microsoft AutoUpdate. After that, when I open edge://settings/help, it shows check failed, and then it keeps "checking for update", for more than 48 hours already. How can I keep Edge updated without Microsoft AutoUpdate on MacOS? Thank you.Solved11KViews0likes5CommentsRe: How to Prevent Teams from Auto-Launch
I find a workaround. Teams settings are stored in a json file, so after installation, I can change the settings by a post-installation script which modifies the configuration file. #region: Prevent Teams from auto-start # If Teams auto-start entry exists, delete it $entry = $null -eq (Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)."com.squirrel.Teams.Teams" if ( !$entry ) { Remove-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run -Name "com.squirrel.Teams.Teams" } # Define Teams configuratin file path $Teams_config_file = "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json" $configs = Get-Content $Teams_config_file -Raw # If Teams already doesn't auto-start, break out the script. if ( $configs -match "openAtLogin`":false") { break } # If Teams already ran, and set to auto-start, change it to disable auto-start elseif ( $configs -match "openAtLogin`":true" ) { $configs = $configs -replace "`"openAtLogin`":true","`"openAtLogin`":false" } # If it's a fresh file, add configuration to the end else { $disable_auto_start = ",`"appPreferenceSettings`":{`"openAtLogin`":false}}" $configs = $configs -replace "}$",$disable_auto_start } # Overwritten the configuration with new values. $configs | Set-Content $Teams_config_file #endregion594KViews4likes1CommentThe Format of Teams Setting File desktop-config.json
Hello, I have a question on Teams setting file desktop-config.json. In the company, after installing Teams we must do some preset settings, for example, prevent Teams from auto-starting with system. I think there's an easy way: $settings = Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json" | ConvertFrom-Json $disable_autostart = "{`"openAtLogin`": false}" | ConvertFrom-Json $settings | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "appPreferenceSettings" -Value $disable_autostart $settings | ConvertTo-Json | Set-Content "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json" But the new desktop-config.json doesn't work, I have to deal with it as a string, like this: $Teams_config_file = "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json" $disable_auto_start = ",`"appPreferenceSettings`":{`"openAtLogin`":false}}" (Get-Content $Teams_config_file -Raw) -replace "}$",$disable_auto_start | Set-Content -LiteralPath $Teams_config_file Is there a way to modify the configurations as real json codes rather than plain strings? Thank you. Regards, C. L24KViews0likes2CommentsRe: How to Prevent Teams from Auto-Launch
Hi adam deltinger Thank you for your kind reply, I tried this policy before, and it is equivalent with the switch `OPTIONS="noAutoStart=true"`, Teams won't be auto-launched until someone double click the icon. I think it's a logical bug, and in my opinion, I turn the autostart off, it means I don't want to auto-launch Teams even someone double-clicks the icon. Regards, C. L594KViews1like0Comments
