Is there a way to see how many hours I spend on websites/ apps a day? Like the one on IOS.

Or do I need a microsoft account to do that?

Thank you.

Hi, I recently just got back onto my Windows Device after having to deal with a 21H2 Windows laptop for a while now, and I noticed that Copilot just... doesn't exist anymore,

Why was it removed, it was so useful, and is there any way to get it back?

Now that Samsung Dex comes to an end, I wanted to try phone link again. The main issue it that I cannot my phone and PC to the same wifi. Any chance to make it work wired or via bluetooth? Thx!

I want to use OneDrive to sync my files, but I don't like how it changes my folder structure.

Currently, when I activate OneDrive sync, it changes my file path from System>User>Documents to System>OneDrive>User>Documents. I prefer the original structure.

Google Drive syncs files without changing the folder structure. Is there a way to use OneDrive like that?

Will 24H2 be an auto update at some point or will you always have to manually download it?

I have found so far that the reason older cpus do not work is that 11 24H2 requires the POPCNT instruction to boot, and what is confusing is that the Athlon II and Phenom II both support POPCNT, but not SSE4.2 explicitly, so when I go to upgrade to 11 I get this:

There's nothing about POPCNT, allegedly the instruction that prevents booting

So this leaves me confused, can someone reassure me that I will still be able to boot if I upgrade? P.S. I understand that it sounds stupid on this ancient machine, but so far on 10 it is more than usable for my basic web browsing and the like, and I am very interested on getting 11 on this thing. Thank you in advance for the advice!

The recommended resolution for Honor magic book 16" 2024 model is 1920 x 1200. When i change it or reduce, let's say to watch low res movies or so , (which doesn't seem to make it better i feel) it creates a shadow under the texts or blurr effect as well. Is the font not ready for the resolution, because font I'm not messing around along with the scale changed to 100% instead of recommended 125% . Anyone knows why and can we clear it up. I think it used happen on old PCs that's why? As screen looks a bit blurry as well, but along that when in default the text shadow Doesn't exist

I just tried mac os new update that let's you mirror your iPhone to your mac. It was super smooth, around 45fps, when in mirror mode. The Internet wasn't even that fast down or upload. That tells me that phone link should be able to give a smoother experience when mirroring our phones. I hope they do ncs it's very stutters currently. I know it's not meant to be used to "stream" things, but the smoother the experience the more seamless it feels.

Can you open up multiple programs through one taskbar icon? I want to open up both a game and a software that records when I get kills in said game with one click, since I forget to open it all the time and don't want the recording software open on start-up

So I bought a new monitor and i wanted to play some games on it but they keep executing on my laptop screen, I wanted to know if there's any kind of software or windows configuration that lets me open specific softwares on my new monitor without having to make it the principal monitor. Dragging them doesn't work in games that open with launchers idk if im doing something wrong.

I'm running Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4541].

Steps to reproduce bug:

1. go to any folder with pictures
2. on the toolbar select View > List or View > Large Icons ... so long as you change the View
3. intermediately the focus shifts to the path bar, with a highlighted selection of the full path, with a dropdown list of recent paths

I need then to click outside this dropdown list or hit Esc key

Any ideas?

Does Outlook 2007 work as well?

Has anyone here who has installed Windows 11 in their Asus Zephyrus series laptop, using an unattended answer file for clean windows installation?

This happened all of a sudden.

How can i get it back to normal?

Things i have already tried:

- Ressetting my pc

- Ressetting the explorer.exe process

- Waiting some time to see if it fixes itself

When browsing photos in a folder using the Photos app, some images are skipped while navigating with arrow keys.

I restarted my PC a bit ago and lost all of my pinned taskbar apps, many desktop icons, and several autostart apps. It's like the machine booted into a different user account, yet mine is the only one on the machine, the only one in the Users folder besides Default (hidden) and Public. This has persisted through several more restarts and I'm at a loss as to what happened here. As far as I can tell in the Settings screen I am logged into the correct user account (which is a Microsoft Account, not a local one)

Anyone seen this before and know how to fix? I really hope all this stuff isn't gone, it's gonna be a pain to reconstruct, I had a lot of pinned things across two monitors.

So I have the very very bare minimum to upgrade but my fps in my games are already low and I’m afraid that upgrading will negatively impact my fps. Will this happen?

Hello! First time posting here!

I recently saw a video on Instagram which made me remember those "skins" that we used to have in the past. In fact, I had the alien one lol

The thing is that as the title says, now I want to have one again like I used to in the past so I was wondering if they are still "compatible" with Windows 11
