Helooo, so basically after my previous post, a few people told me that I should do a "partition" for my c drive on my window 11 laptop.

However I tried to look on YouTube but not really sure which one I should follow?

Basically what I think i need to do is create another "Location" / split my c drive into 2 sections? So that I can place all my applications, video editing stuff, documents there.

If anyone actually knows I really hope to have some help plsss n thanks 😁

Anyone know a good alternative to Remote Desktop that can be used on android to control a computer even outside the same network?

I recently downgraded from Windows 11 to Windows 10, and I was amazed by how much faster it is. While I had been experiencing slowness and stuttering with Windows 11, I didn’t fully realize the extent of it until I tried Windows 10 on a lower-end system. It felt incredibly snappy, so I decided to do a fresh install on my device. I even used Revios to enhance performance further. Everything feels lighter and more refined, even compared to a clean install of Windows 11. I thought Windows 11 was supposed to improve performance—has anyone else felt this way? I’m honestly a bit disappointed with Windows 11 but happy to have the responsiveness of Windows 10. It’s like realizing the difference between mere stones and real diamonds, or discovering I was starving until I tasted something truly delicious.

What is the best way to Auto-translate transcribe youtube videos in Windows 11? Like Google translate does. I can see no option for transcribe on Google Translate on the web, only on apps for Android and Apple probably. Thanks. Apologies if this should have gone in the simple question thread? I just saw it.

I might just be bad at search, but I couldn’t find a clear answer to this.

I am looking for a way to set up a Windows machine without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse attached, but only with an Ethernet connection.

Is there a reliable way to get a Windows computer to just work and be ready to use via Remote Desktop 24/7 in the LAN? It should auto-update and backup, restart once a day, and basically take care of itself. It’ll be used for light office tasks (simple Microsoft Access apps) and sit idle about 90% of the time. For privacy and because of poor internet, it should to be on-site, a cloud solution would be sub-optimal. And yes, it needs internet access, unfortunately.

Simply put: It should function like one of those Terminal-Computers from the 70s, but run Windows 11.

Again, maybe I’m just not good at search, sorry, so links to resources are just as welcome as answers 🙏

I've recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and for the most part it is great. However, I now use many formally fullscreen applications in a windowed mode to take advantage of the extra space as a pseudo multi-monitor setup. This has caused an unexpected issue where I've docked windows and would like to "lock them" such that they do not resize or move without some sort of "unlock". Specifically, I am talking about manual resizing or movement, not the windows snapping stuff.

It's especially bad for applications with lots of mouse actions (particularly games) where I can accidently resize something something unintentionally and then have to pause everything to redock the window. So far I've only found solutions to stop the automatic docking of windows (which I don't actually mind) but those solutions are burying what I'm actually looking for (if a solution exists). Any ideas?

I go with a very thigh schedule on the weekdays and I need an app that does big notifications on the screen, loud alarms etc. I don't need email, sync with other devices, I just need a calendar.

Until now I used my phone, but the problem is that I incredibly hate using a phone and want to get rid of it.

Outlook is a literal trash tier app because it doesn't even send notifications if it's not opened, and even then it's just your usual irrelevant windows notification on the right corner and I just can't pay attention to that.

Why ? What do you have agaisn't frog eaters, fries inventors and poutine enjoyers ?

I live in the netherlands which is part of the eu I saw online that the eu version is different and i wanna make sure i have the right one. I didn’t buy a physical key, so i have to make the flash drive myself

How can i get the eu version of windows?

Body as title.
The fast work around would be just pasting it into mspaint, and grab it out that way. Or use github and run a program that export your clipboard history.
But is there an easier way?

I was using the edge read aloud function all of September and it helped me be a lot more productive. In October it became extremely inconsistent, and even when it does work, it skips so much text. I tried downgrading but was not able to figure it out. Does anyone have a foolproof step-by-step guide to downgrade?

I share a PC with a relative, and they are nearly blind so the puter is set to display large text and also enlarges the size of apps. However, this doesn't work well with some apps that I use, and I'd like to know if I can somehow minimize the size for those apps only. The puter uses Windows 11.
Thank you

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of installing Windows 11 24H2 on an older Dell Inspiron 5680 gaming PC which has an NVIDIA 1070 with 8 GB VRAM and maybe on a gaming laptop with an 3080 mobile which can run W11 Pro.

I am a Linux user and read a lot of negative comments about Copilot BUT, I have an open mind and wonder if those who use Copilot could share some info on limits etc.

How much usage does Microsoft allow? What are the limits?
I am seriously considering installing Windows on one or two of my computers if Copilot would be a better alternative to chatgpt. I would be mostly using it for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and Python.

Thank you for your feedback. :)

My computer was in sleep mode when my power went out for about 2 hours earlier today. Windows 11. I just hit the physical power button and it turned on and immediately was loaded into Playnite, a fullscreen game launcher I use and also where I put the computer to sleep before I went to bed last night.

How in the world? And to be clear, this is NOT just restarting and relaunching because there are a few things saved over still:

-Steam is open and on a specific game's store page scrolled down to a review I had been looking at

-Nvidia app (beta) is on the specific tab I was on scrolled down for picking resolution (it never remembers tabs, defaults to the same screen on launch)

-I was hovered over a specific game in Playnite

What mystical backup and restore weirdness is at play here? Nothing is wrong, my PC is great, I'm just ... so confused? How did it basically just wake back up from sleep after a power outage? It's not plugged into my UPS right now, either (need to replace the battery).

Is my computer haunted? Is Microsoft watching me? Is reality a hologram? What's real?

seems like the only other ways of doing this are overly complicated and hard to find.

1: Can anyone explain the differnce between 'my contacts' 'contacts' and 'people' and where are they actually stored ?

2: I imported my google contacts csv file from google into outlook, when I compose a new mail the 'my contacts' and 'contacts' are empty, but when i start typing the email address a drop down appears and suggests the email ! where is outlook getting the list from if both contact folder are empty ??

so damn confusing.

I got 2 languages selected:

How do I remove AAR, why do I have it in the first place?

Thanks in advance.

Usually windows 11 boot media creation tool formats 32gb in the usb despite the actual files taking up 4-5gb. I have manually created a partition that ocuppies less space to use as bootable drive. Rufus has some nice features for an inatallation media, so... i was wondering if it formats partitions differently from the usual media creation tool

So title kind of states whats going on but to put it in perspective I have been running my gaming PC on windows 10 for 4 years and have never updated. Anywho I only have this one pc and I primarily use it for gaming. It is requiring me to enable PTT in my bios and frankly it is kind of stressing me but I really am trying to get a job from home and the one I am applying for requires it. So should I just do it. What will happen will I lose all my files will I have to redoenload my games I am really nervous to just do it.

As an unfortunate owner of a WMR VR headset, I do not want to update to 24H2. For some reason windows update is insisting on trying. What I want to avoid is being locked into this update, as of right now it is not downloaded nor installed. The reason the install is failing is because I am not giving it permission to deprecate WMR.

Currently this is all I can see on my windows update page. Is there a way to tell windows to treat 24H2 as the optional update it should be? In this state I can't use windows update to check for regular updates and I am concerned I will be missing out on them.

https://preview.redd.it/maje1z6wkxxd1.png?width=982&format=png&auto=webp&s=296dfe52f908716d883b4d6f6998de76bd321cf1

Worryingly, it looks like windows stopped looking for quality updates at the same time it started trying and failing to install 24H2.

Since I am not allowing 24H2 to progress, is there any way to just tell Windows Update "sorry no thanks" and have it return to a normal state of just treating it as an option upgrade I can rightfully ignore?

RESOLVED: Install GRC incontrol https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm, pause updates, unpause updates, interface returned to normal!

So to anyone who reads this, I really super duper lost. For context this image is of my (C:) drive. So the problem here is I would love to be "organised" like some of those Video Editing Youtubers who have really organised (C:) drives.

Direction of pathway thingy: This PC -> Local Disk (C:) -> "Those 6 Folders below"

An example of their (C:) drives would be: (Basically they would have something like that 6 to 10 folders)

[1] Assets

[2] YouTube

[3] Icons & Wallpaper

[4] Social Media

[5] Downloaded Applications

[6] Everything else PC related

So question:

1. How do I organize my folders like that? (I tried b4 but it says cannot move or smt?)

2. Should I organise my files inside of "This PC"/"Local Disk (C:)"/"C Drive"? (If not where else?)

I have

- 400 plus of free C drive space

- I got 5 GB of onedrive ONLY

Like isn't that supposed to be the whole point of them being pinned? So I can access them *quickly*??? Am I missing something?

The grey bar underneath seems to be a countdown timer as it tics down every second then refills.

Whenever I get a message, it lights up this purpleish red color and I hate it. Yes, I do have my accent color as a blue. That works everywhere. I've only noticed this on Teams so far, but I don't see a specific setting in Teams either.

Any ideas?

It certainly does for me. I feel like it will only be a matter of time before you don't get a say in it being on or not. With enough pressure from users though, maybe Microsoft will understand that this is a sensitive topic for some. Curious to get the community's thoughts.

How do i get the old icon for the Search bar/icon back? It got flipped when I updated to 24H2 🤔
