  1. Google Assistant on WSA

    Use this to get WSA with GA pre-installed: https://github.com/RahulRST/WSA_Script You can also use this but its more work. Good to read though just so you know whats being done: https://github.com/LSPosed/WSAGAScript In case of confusion search here, i had written 1-2 paragraphs on what menu...
  2. WSA clones/modifications - legal issues? Safety issues?

    I use a few android apps on windows 11 and to the best of my knowledge there is no legal issue in using/installing GApps by yourself on whatever you want or modifying everything etc. Issues are only in "distributing" them to others which needs Google's approval. That is why they don't come...
  3. What's the difference between "Libraries" & "System Folders"

    Ok, as per google search, if you go here in regedit: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace you can see these folders with random number names. No idea how to make out which random string is for which folder though There's some...
  4. What's the difference between "Libraries" & "System Folders"

    Thanks a lot for the replies guys. It's not that simple though. For normal folders what you say is correct BUT the "Documents" folder under "My Computer" (and the 3D Objects, Downloads etc folders) is different since it redirects (to any folder you want) just like the "Libraries" So windows...
  5. Installing Kali Linux in Hyper-V in enhanced mode AND sound

    Could you tell me how to get Budgie desktop installed on WSL2 Ubuntu ? I keep running into issues BTW, Kali has something called WinKex which does all the config for running GUI Desktop on WSL2 with a single command. And everything works incl sound etc. Also has 3 modes - Seamless mode is...
  6. What's the difference between "Libraries" & "System Folders"

    What's the difference between "Libraries" & "System Folders" named Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music... etc - See Screenshot below with the 2 sets of folders marked in red & green. Calling the former system folders as that's what windows says they are. But they are libraries for all practical...
  7. Native Boot to multiple vhdx drives (not VM's)

    Thanks for the detailed how to. Do you have ANY downsides to booting from VHDX ? Only reason i have one main OS installed in the normal way is because i feel i might be stuck with some issue that may crop up with native boot VHDX. But having only VHDX files would be so much better.
  8. Much better boot manager when using VHDX physical disks

    Native boot for VHDX is really great for a lot of use cases as mentioned by you guys. Keeping backups of entire OS installs and/or diff versions is incomparable in terms of convenience. Though all those things are available in different ways, the sheer simplicity of 1 file that you...
  9. Windows 11 encrypted my drive automatically

    Had the shock of my life on suddenly seeing this bitlocker dialog on rebooting to win11 after some partition changes in linux. Never knew MS turns ON bitlocker on their own with no real notice to user. Have installed win11 around 7-8 times by now and never saw this. Luckily, found this topic on...
  10. Weeding the All apps list: any new successes?

    So what you see is in All Apps is a union / addition of following start menu folders: a) Your (logged in user) All Apps shortcuts Press Win+R and type: shell:programs This can also be opened by typing below path in explorer: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs (usually resolves to...
  11. Insider Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Build 22454 (RS_PRERELEASE) - Sept. 9

    Same here with 22454.1000. I had thought maybe from 22449 to 22454 this might have been resolved. Had tried all recommendations (disable everything in device manager and in BIOS, keep 60GB free space, disable secureboot, tried disabling tpm also once) The error code 0xc1900101 is clearly an...
  12. Insider Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Build 22449 (RS_PRERELEASE) - Sept. 2
