That looks ancient! Flash was killed off in January 2021. I'd either click "Select None" then continue, or download a current version of windows for a fresh installation. The link below takes you to pages to download a disk image for 10 or 11 or a tool to make a bootable USB thumb drive or DVD...

I dumped OneDrive a long time ago when it decided to not sync random files, no rhyme or reason to which files it missed, it just ignored them. Thanks to the people recommending alternatives. Downloading three to try now (y)

I recently lost my phone. Getting internet banking onto my new phone was a nightmare, security code via a PC, three different passwords, another security code mailed to me, which had expired by the time it got to me because of Christmas and strike action, three phone calls. Finally, got it back...

As other have said, suck it and see. After using Windows 11 since it first came out, I've just reverted to 10. 11 had so many annoyances, thing that worked well in 10 like the File Explorer ribbon, context menu and more, that the a step back to 10 was an easy choice. The only feature of 11 that...

On my Windows 10 machine that kept refusing to set a PIN, I finally reinstalled Windows using a Gmail address instead of my Microsoft Hotmail one. Very odd, but it worked.

I think it may be at the Microsoft end. I did a clean instal on a Windows 10 PC with a new motherboard today, and I'm having the same problem.

StartAllBack switches many 11 things back to how they were in 10. I've just checked, clicking on the top of the taskbar and dragging makes it bigger and click and drag the taskbar to move it to the desired side or top. StartAllBack to fix all Windows 11 deal-breaking UI issues

New feature. It was already available by hovering over the maximise icon of windows.

Windows update rebooting to install updates?

Once I got back the explorer ribbon, although with a bland grey pallet, and pretty much the old context menu, 11 is no worse than 10. StartAllBack makes a few other changes to things like the start menu and search that suit my way of working.

Thanks. The extra clicks in 11 to change the view and access "select all" and "invert selection" was driving me nuts, I use these frequently every day. The tiny recycle bin icon was also irritating.

Failed at 72%. Re-ran as an Administrator and it worked fine :)

Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Download Windows 11 is running on my PC now. Fingers crossed.

Works over Wi-Fi to my LG TV, presumably using an Ethernet cable to the TV would work the same. Just right click and click "Cast to device" then select the TV. Takes a while to come through but once it starts videos play fine.
