  1. Right click Taskbar to show Task Manager is gone

    ^^^ Same for me as Berton posted. Task Manager started showing up in the last week or so. Maybe after "2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022303)" ?
  2. MS Paint - customize Quick Access bar?

    Thank you, all. The Paint version here is: Paint 11.2208.6.0. (It is not "Paint 3d".)
  3. MS Paint - customize Quick Access bar?

    In Windows 10, I can customize the MS Paint Quick Access tool bar to add or remove icons. As in: I do this to replace the "dangerous" Save button by "Save as". "Dangerous" as it is all to easy to overwrite an image file. I cannot find a way to do this in Windows 11. Can someone point me in...
  4. Solved Q: File Explorer - reduce line spacing?

    Thank you - After an unsuccessful Search here, I've been away Searching TenForums and found the same solution there too. :-)
  5. Solved Q: File Explorer - reduce line spacing?

    It seems to me that there is a lot of space between the lines of details in File Explorer, so the windows are unnecessarily tall. Does anyone know why? Is there any way that they can be brought closer together?
  6. About screenshot / screen capture

    For me, it is quicker to PrintScreen, then crop the image in MS Paint . Win+Shift+S needs some manual dexterity. It was slower here and generated a redundant notification (maybe I can suppress that?).
  7. Solved Items in Quick Access and This PC

    Understood, but I do not see that adding them to This PC or Favourites gives anything extra. I must have missed something ;-)
  8. Solved Items in Quick Access and This PC

    Just wondering ... if I can add folders to "the folder formerly known as" Quick Access, why would I need them in "This PC"? Or add them to the new Favourites section? PS With the older build (22000.something) , for the OneDrive items in This PC, I tried to Restore the default Location. The...
  9. Personalization / Colours: title bars

    ... anyone-else seeing this?
  10. Solved Items in Quick Access and This PC

    Hmm, with the latest windows Updates, things have changed :-) The system is now on 22H2, build 22621.963. Quick Access seems to be renamed to "Home" and "One Drive - Personal" has been renamed too. (Sadly, these changes, which probably apply to everyone) are not mentioned in the "What's...
  11. Solved Windows Build numbers?

    What a difference a few days makes ;-) More Windows Updates have become available so I have installed them - the build is now 22H2, 22621.963.
  12. Solved Windows 11 Mail - emails not being sent

    Thank you all. I did see in "Windows 10 in Depth" (the authors have not written a W11 edition), that setting up Mail can fail and you need to use the Advanced Settings option. I shall investigate. For info, the email provider is plus.net (part of BT), here in the UK. I also saw, on the...
  13. Solved Windows 11 Mail - emails not being sent

    [This on is for my neighbour ;-) who has just got an HP All-in-one PC) Windows Mail is set up and a User Account has been created. Emails can be received. But when an email is created (or an incoming email is replied to) and [Send] is clicked, the email is closed but it does not appear in...
  14. Solved Windows Build numbers?

    Thank you al - there was a preview Cumulative Update (KB 501 9157). Today, this was not listed as a preview, so I have installed it. My OS Build is now 21H2, 22000.1281. So, my question now is - when will the 22H1 and 22H2 updates show up. (I do not wish to be an Insider. ;-) ) Maybe they are...
  15. Personalization / Colours: title bars

    Thank you. I understand how to select the accent colour = but it does not look as if it works correctly. And, that pointer to tinting the inactive title bars will prove useful later. Here are 3 screenshots, showing Control Panel, Edge and File Explorer For Control Panel -- when active...
