  1. Speakers no longer recognized after 23H2 update

    Im only asking this Q because you didnt mention it. There are two other policies you may need to change. “Prohibit user installs” and “Prohibit removal of updates”... The last one may be required if the driver install is attempting to remove the existing driver files. I found a good page with...
  2. Speakers no longer recognized after 23H2 update

    I had a similar problem after the update. My sound went from realtek card with ext speakers, to the built in speakers of my lg display. I had to go into device manager and disable Realtek Audio even though there was no ! or issue. Then re-enabled it. Went into windows settings > system > sound...

    Thanks for the update @Almighty1 Dark mode is here!
  4. Microsoft PC Manager Beta app now available

    Call me crazy but I love this thing. I dragged the desktop tool bar all the way to the top of the screen (as center as I can judge it) and I love how it auto hides and appears when I hover over it, I have quick access to shortcuts for common apps and sites. The other tools are useful. I like...
  5. New Win 11 Media Player

    Right on! Im so happy the information was able to help you. MS Photos has a similar problem with non-indexed folders and displaying images full screen. Submitted a bug report for that one also on MS Feedback Hub.
  6. Solved Excel spreadsheets slow to open from File Explorer

    Thats great news! Be nice to know what caused it in case someone else has the problem. But at least it cleared up for you.
  7. Solved Excel spreadsheets slow to open from File Explorer

    From Explorer, does it matter from which folder(s) you open them from? If you place the workbook in a different folder is there any difference? Are the files stored in folders that sync to an online account such as OneDrive, DropBox etc?
  8. Solved Excel spreadsheets slow to open from File Explorer

    Im also using 2021. Disabling addins and COM addins that you dont use may be a good place to start. I went one step further and also opted out of all the diagnostic feedback options in Privacy. What I noticed was the launch time for Excel had sped up quite a bit. If your workbook is pulling...
  9. Solved Removing "Compress to ZIP file" context menu option

    Thank you so very much! I lost my mind and for over a year couldnt get rid of the top level menu item compress to zip folder. Your method worked. Nothing nut love for you!

  11. New Gaming pc stuttering

    Im playing Unreal Tournament 2004. In our small community we havent seen an update or patch in years :D But it goes to show there may be a solution if you look in the right place.
  12. New Gaming pc stuttering

    Just thought I would post back with this information. My game started lagging again and I had no idea why. Someone on another forum suggested I install the DirectX package from MS and it not only fixed the problem, but I got increased FPS and the game performance is better than what I have ever...
  13. What Games Are You Playing Now?

    Which Doom is that? The graphics and game play look kick @ss but the site where I saw it available had like several different editions/versions. Currently still rocking Unreal Tournament 2004. Talk about your throwbacks :D
  14. New Win 11 Media Player

    WMP... Uncheck that box that says "Retrieve additional information from the internet" found in Options > Library I learned a while back that will rename files and alter tags and more often than not, it gets them wrong. On a new install I always make sure to uncheck that box before allowing WMP...
  15. Search Indexer - Off or On?

    It will play them without any problem. Its just in the playlist/library it will say unknow artist, unknown album etc. It will display the file name so thats not an issue. I mentioned problem and fix in the Win 11 Player thread.
