Maybe or maybe have to contact Microsoft to Activate because it may show as a new computer. Also, I've never seen a motherboard in a Desktop or Notebook with the OS as part of the board, always on a...

I've only done the MCT process provided by Microsoft and had no issues. When visiting clients one of the tools I take is the bootable USB drive for 10 and the bootable USB drive for 11 'just in...

This really should be in the Windows 11 forum, link at the bottom left of this page.

In the upper right corner of a program's windows are 3 small icons, left is for Minimizing the window to the Taskbar, center is for Maximize or Restore to previous view and right is the X for closing...

Kinda hard to do that since Microsoft [Windows] owns it.
My first computer with NTFS was Windows NT 3.51 back in about '96.

Could it be an issue with File Explorer already being on the Taskbar by default?

What I have is a Wireless Router with an Uplink to my Modem and 4 ports for Ethernet-connected devices. I have an 8-port Switch attached to it and currently have 5 Desktops connected by cable, 2...

Ditto what spunk said. But, I left my Samsung connected to the Internet the other day and the battery drain was more than 3 times what it normally is when the Internet is disconnected.

I reread it and see I failed to mention that exFAT does not have the same limitation as FAT32. Also, the last 2 External USB drives at 4TB I got came with the packaging showing they were for use...

FAT32 has a limit of 32GB and in turn that has a single-file size limit of 4GB. All the USB Thumb/Flash drives I've worked with up to 256GB have come factory-formatted as FAT32. A choice for...

The Windows folder/file I use for changing icons for shortcuts is %SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll.

Can it be assumed an Export [available in regedit] or backup of the Registry or at least of the Key was made before altering it?

Desktop, Notebook, All-in-One? Inspiron, Optiplex, Precision?

Since no make and model of monitor is known it was only a guess.

I still have a Win7 Desktop for reference but main Win11 computers are Dell, a Notebook from Oct. 21 and Desktop from April '22. I have been given an HP Notebook and HP Desktop from 2019 with Win10...

Since it's only one monitor has the Menu on it been checked for a setting that can cause it?

Just junked a Win10 computer today, it had a motherboard from 2010 without the SSE4.2 support that the 2 Notebooks I have which are running the unsupported/tweaked Win11. I was doing some testing...

I had a similar issue with a Desktop and Internet speed, what should have been 25Mbps was only coming up at 6Mbps and very slow accessing the NAS drive. Determined it was a slight disconnect with...

Almost missed that in reading but it brings up the question of whether the problem exists with only one monitor attached.

That harkens my mind back to Bulletin Boards in Dial-up days and Shareware, try then buy if like or uninstall. Downside was it couldn't be reinstalled, seemed to leave a marker behind that prevented...

I had a similar issue but it was with the restart time setting of Windows Update.

Disk Management won't show drive fragmentation but does show partitions on the drive/s. Windows install will create 3 to 5 partitions as it needs during the first install. Posting a screenshot of...

That message is quite normal for older machines, I've gotten it. There are hardware limitations in place for running Win11, the model of the CPU plus a TPM 2 [Trusted Platform Module] have to in...

:thumbsup:

I've had 10-year-old Notebooks keep their charge after 3 months of full shutdown by holding the power key in for 10 seconds rather than the usual shutdown process. Years ago the power supply in a...
