MSIX Desktop Shortcuts working on Windows 11, but not on Windows 10
Hello, I'm using the latest version of MSIX packaging tool 1.2024.405.0 and I have Windows AppRuntime 1.4.x installed on both OS versions. While using Windows 11 23H2 I can launch the application by using the desktop shortcut and the start menu icon as well, but while using Windows 10 22H2 is working only if I use the start menu icon. I know that I can use PSF fixup to make it work, but why? Shouldn't this work natively? What am I missing? Thank you, Bogdan

I have a couple of questions on where Windows 365 cloud PC resources (OS disk, user profiles, etc.) are stored. As I understand it the architecture of Windows 365 Government spans across a US Gov Community Cloud (GCC) and a public facing cloud. Am I correct in assuming that the public cloud mentioned above is Azure Commercial? Where are user profiles stored? I've seen that they are stored on the local C drive on several Microsoft partner sites but can't find anything official on any Microsoft site. Thanks in advance!
RDP Issue after Win 11 Upgrade
Greetings Dear Community, I have recently encountered an issue after upgrading couple of devices in my organization from Windows 10 to 11. To elaborate on this matter, there is an specific server that one of our teams needs to initiate remote session with it via RDP, It's worth mentioning that this Server resides in data center and the connection to it is via tunnel. Furthermore, after upgrading these clients to Windows 11, whenever they try to start new RDP session with the Server, they face an issue where the display is solid black with incomplete shapes just like pixels ( I have attached the screenshot). In addition, while hovering across other part of the screen they start to load but with delay. metaphorically It's like placing puzzle pieces together. This problem didn't exist before upgrading to 11 and clients who are authenticated to initiate RDP session with this Server had no problem on 10, So it's definitely not about bandwidth or anything related to Network Infrastructure and I have had everything checked with our Network Team. I would appreciate any help regarding this issue. ThanksQuestion about converting avi to mp4 in Windows PC?
Till now, AVI still has compatibility issue. I can't play them with Windows Media Player and my iPhone as well. I have a collection of AVI video files that I need to convert to MP4 format for better compatibility with my devices and easier sharing online. I’m using a Windows PC running Windows 10, and while I’ve tried a few basic AVI to MP4 conversion methods, I’m not satisfied with the quality or the time it takes to process the files. Additionally, some of my AVI files are quite large, so finding a solution that handles batch conversions efficiently is important to me. I’m open to all suggestions in order to convert avi to mp4 without quality loss, as long as they offer reliable performance and maintain high video quality during the conversion process. Features like customizable settings, fast processing speeds, and user-friendly interfaces would be ideal. Please share your insights. Regards, MarkWebp to svg - how do I save a Webp image as SVG on my PC?
I recently saw some WebP images online that looked pretty good, but I wanted to convert webp to SVG for some design projects. I tried many methods, but I couldn't find a direct way. 😩 I looked for some webp to svg tools online, but most of them were paid or the conversion was very poor. There are also some online tools, but they are maddeningly slow and the quality of the conversion is not guaranteed. I would like to ask everyone, is there a simple and free way to convert WebP images directly to SVG format? Or, is there some image editing software that can support this conversion? Do you have any experience to share, preferably one that can be operated on a PC. Thank you in advance!How Can I Downgrade iOS 18 to iOS 17 on a Windows PC?
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to this community for assistance with a challenge I'm currently facing. Recently, I updated my iPhone 14 Pro] to iOS 18. While the new features are impressive, I've encountered some compatibility issues with essential apps and certain functionalities that were smoother on iOS 17. After some research, I've decided that downgrading back to iOS 17 would be the best course of action for my needs. Unfortunately, Apple does not provide the downgrade feature on iPhone, only upgrade option is available. I heard it is possible downgrade iOS 18 to 17 on a Windows PC but I don't know how to do this. I have a Windows 11 PC at office and Windows 10 PC at home. If you know how to do this, please kindly leave your comment. Thanks
