It sucks that crapware like copilot can't be completely uninstalled on windows 11 since the only option is to disable it. I h8 windows 11, I wish there was a way to go back to windows 95, 98, xp and 7 and scrap 11 altogether and use some kind of virtual machine to support older versions of windows with modern hardware. The only thing that I like about windows 11 was support for android apps but Microsoft ruined it by removing support for android apps soon. I had to use bluestacks to be able to use the google play store with windows 11. Maybe have a windows version of blue stacks that supports windows xp and windows 7 apps even support for games on windows xp and windows 7 similar to blue stacks. I chose the custom resolution for bluestacks to run in 4k since most of the displays and laptops that I use have a 4k display. The only non 4k display are older displays such as really old windows laptops that still works that I still use but I switched everything officially to 4k, even my sony xperia 1 iv android phone has a 4k 120 hz oled display. I love 4k, my phone, chromebook, windows laptop and external display are all 4k displays. I been used to using 4k displays since 2014 and ever since I started using 4k displays anything else that is less than 4k is less appealing. It's like upgrading from a smaller TV and upgrading to a newer and bigger TV with actually upgrades compared to the previous generations. Nowadays, upgrades are just incremental and just only offer something based on how they look rather being something functional over form. Drag and dropping between files and folders are still not supported with windows 11 since it does nothing when I try to drag and something. I use alot of dragging and dropping between files and folders because it gets things done quicker with a single click of a button. On windows 11, I'm still trying to figure out how to drag and drop files and even how to use features when right clicking to access features but the features are hidden and even doing basic tasks are hidden. I already got confused when I tried to use mac os and now windows is making things just as confusing as mac os. I only tried mac os to see what it was about, alot of the stuff and implementions confused me so much that I had to read manuals and books on how to navigate the operating system and do basic tasks. With older versions of windows, I just learned how to navigate the operating system just by looking at the menus and reading the popups and automatic notifications that show up when. I grew up using ms-dos as my first operating system than I started to use windows 95, 98, xp and windows 7. Windows xp and windows 7 were my favorite versions of windows because there is no microsoft account needed to use the operating system and no crap like copilot and social media apps pre-installed. Netscape navigator is still my favorite browser to use because it was simple to use and not filled with ads, I used to use ask jeeves and dog pile as my search engine before I started using google as my search engine.
Dark mode babyyyy
なるほどです。
If only this video went live when Windows 11 was new…
I am so Glad that I do NOT have the burden of using windows 11
MS Powertoys might make a good video. I use Powertoys Text Extractor & Color Picker all the time. The Paste As Plain Text shortcut is also great.
When Windows 10 video?
Yeah. Its really very helpful for everyone who are using windows 11
For the last tip, you can also access the disk cleanup by clicking the start button and searching for cleanmgr. When you see disk cleanup appear in the list, right-click on it and select run as administrator.
Win+v for clipboard. Saves time having to go back and fourth from source to destination. Power toys is a app made my ms that has a lot of features like customizable window snapping and remappable keys and my personal favorite power renamed that renames multiple files at once similar to the find and replace features in word or coding apps.
Watching "IT pros" hate about the position of the start button over the years is really old and annoying. In most cases its faster to reach the button in the middle.
Besides, if you are an "IT pro", you are using the keyboard button anyways making this irrelevant
Thanks for this. I hate my work pc about 5 % less now.
How about the tablet "tablet mode" on Windows 11? How do you get it back for 2-in-1 PC users and "hybrid" PC users such HP Spectre X360 or HP Pavilion X360?
If you are stuck in boot recovery loop then make sure bios was installed correctly; it happened during windows update which was stupid
What? No DISM or scannow? LOL
Tell me how to:
1. Stop edge grouping tabs
2. Stop Windows starting all my apps on a restart
3. Stop Edge opening up 6 youtube tabs at 3am and starting playing them all.
OMG, i cant belive CNET did this.
Start in the center is really beneficial on ultrawides. It's one of my favorite changes, along with the new way snap zones work.
