I use the Tilde ~ on files and folders when I want them showing at the top of a list, haven't had any issues. That symbol is not on the list of those that can't be used in Command Prompt or naming...

Yep, saw that announcement from Microsoft itself some months ago, not long after Win11 was released, Oct. '21.
Couple posts about it in this forum:
Future version of Windows?

SSDs are the type of drive and can be either SATA or NVMe M.2 connections or the soldered-on type. I have computers with HDDs and SSDs that use the SATA connection and the M.2 connection. Two...

Have you the drivers from Lenovo for the keyboard? Windows Update may have them, look in the Optional section.

Only experience I have with a monitor with an HDMI input is a 27" ASUS which actually has 4 inputs, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and VGA, selectable via a switch on the monitor. I do have 2 TVs that can...

I disconnected my NAS in Total Commander then Clicked Net, then Network Connections and got this:

Been there, done that. Last failure I had was an HDD in a self-powered USB case and the interface in the case failed, lost everything on it.

I got a new Dell Vostro Notebook over 2 years ago that came with 8GB RAM in one slot, found a 4GB module in my salvaged parts that mostly matched except the speed. I plugged the 4GB in and did no...

Yes, there should be a way to Map a folder on a drive. I can disconnect the drive so conversely that should show to Map or Connect, in Total Commander it's the toolbar item named Net.

I've always had trouble with DVD-RW and CD-RW discs, stay with DVD-R, DVD+R, both at 4.7GB and DVD+R/DL [Dual Layer] and CD-R discs. It seems if the RW discs don't close properly they don't play...

Saw that happen once when setting up a new computer with a Microsoft Account when another nearby computer also had a Microsoft Account.

It can be but maybe a month after the last post something has been fixed?

I use a TP-Link AC600 Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.2 [Archer T2UB Nano] USB Dongle that the package says 433Mbps on 5GHz and 200Mbps on 2.4GHz, get the full 25Mbps Wireless DSL I'm paying for. And I...

Another 'change' happens when changing the width of columns or height of rows, most of the formatting choices.

The relevance is that the OP is using 2 similar programs that default to different file formats, having the older one able to open the newer one can save frustration.

Could be, I have one that still has the issue but the Recovery partition is over 1GB in size so maybe later?
