that happens with all new chipsets, takes time for them to integrate them. the spring update might have em.
It won't change much until aug 2025
They also got rid of Intel vpro drivers, no easy vlan mgmt now
Ooh I’ve got something for that, it’s now a platform independent of the OS. (Limited features with AMD and non vPro CPUs, but I’ve been told they can be enrolled)
I don’t know, Intel offers it as a freemium service. In their efforts to curb adoption of AMD and non pro CPU’s they are doing the whole job pro bono. So I just need to get them space on my VM Host, and have a small list of installers ready to go. They then do the full config and deployment. They booked their install team from Spain?? Either way the project has a 6am PST start time next month.
Wow give me your contact please
I was hoping to hear 1st hand from the other guy to see what he uses, I already used ExplorerPatcher and some Start Menu hack, forgot what it's called" to bring back a W7-ish era menu, was hoping for a 10 look.
You can't open multiple instances of pinned apps, plus they get mixed in with opened apps, constantly moving instead of being at the exact same location on screen all the time. And no small icons means less efficient usage of screen area.
Third party UI fixes are epheremal at best, disastrous at worst. Any random update can break the fix. I've experienced it when I first tried W11 on one of my spare PCs. The start menu simply died and clicking on start would do nothing. I literally only had access to pinned apps, anything else I needed to start by bringing up task manager and using the run command from there. Uninstalling the 3rd party fix did nothing. There was no way to fix it outside of re-installing windows.
You don't need third-party software to get the old context menu back to the default. You just need to add a registry key and a blank DWORD to it.
HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}InprocServer32yeah you can, right click the icon then click here:
I know, but why would I want to replace a single click with right click point, left click? Basically three times the effort for nothing.
. I agree that the Search is sometimes a shitshow though.
I really hate the default putting icons all over the desktop. Especially when you install some software package that is like 12-15 icons. I know its simple to delete them, but should only go there if asked.I don't want icons just haphazardly being thrown on the desktop; so at least in this case I'd say they are listening to their customers
Thats happened to me a couple of times. I found a powershell command on google to basically reinstall the shell.

icon creation is handled by the installer, not windows. tick/untick the box...
Sometimes it doesn't ask (shrugs). I guess i blamed the 'doesn't ask' default on windows. Since windows doesn't prevent it.
yeah there are those...
Most of the problems on Linux have a lot of incredibly easy fixes... assuming you know how to use Google. That kinda defeats the purpose of a commercial product like Windows.
Most of the problems with Linux are none of my apps work with it.
So, how much do you have open? roflmao.
I have no idea what you're talking about. You type an app's name and it comes up instantly. If you want an instant search type function, use Microsoft's PowerToys Run: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/run
That is a really strong stance to take on something like that lol. I know i said i didnt want programs to place on the desktop but not willing to die on that hill either lol.
Mine get pinned to the task bar and deleted from the desktop.
What exactly is the issue?
Many of the easy packagers out there designed for multiple platforms don't automatically enable the desktop icon creation and many developers forget to add it or enable it as a selectable option.
Which apps? Fusion 360 does indeed work on Linux, but it's a pain and often breaks with updates. Everything is an easy fix with the help of Google, but nobody really wants to deal with them. I'm sure Windows 11 problems can be fixed, but why does a commercial product need fixing?
They aren't fixes for anything, they're preferences.
Please, just stop with the Linux shilling. I've genuinely tried many times to convert to Linux, including recently. It's just not there yet. It may never be there. What does Fusion 360 have to do with literally anything whatsoever? No, nothing is an easy fix with the help of Google. Please stop talking out of your nether region as if Googling things will fix all the blatant flaws currently plaguing Linux. Linux is not a solution to everything. I'm in IT for a living and now I'm getting into software engineering (and yes ... Linux is great for that). I'm not stupid. I'm currently on macOS right now for the native UNIX dev environment, but when I go back to Windows again (sold my last PC as it wasn't powerful enough for what I want to do with it), I'll probably be dual booting some flavor of Linux for development, although Microsoft is making it easier all the time for devs (my buddy codes exclusively in Windows), such as bringing sudo commands into Windows.
Same experience as me. I began as a programmer, became an it admin for a few, and now am a dev again. Linux has stunk every time I tried it. The constant shilling is really pathetic.
