Found it. They've moved it to make it VERY hard to find. It's in the Startup App notification settings, at the very bottom. I https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-lets-finish-setting-up-your-device-in-windows-11.5205/

I'm getting this nag screen at boot up. I've been checking some Youtube videos about how to fix this problem, but it seems that the layout in Settings has changed, because I can't see the options that the videos are talking about (Settings > System > Notifications. I don't want to "finish...

Always creeped out by Microsoft's habit of locking you in and making you sign in and subscribe. I'm not doing that! I have a local Windows accout and am not signed into Office. I use the Desktop version of Office, the latest available, I believe, which is Office 2019. I used this version of...

Hi all! My Windows 11 is set to UK English. I want to be able to switch over to two other languages that have special characters, so I added those keyboard layouts and can shift to them with a key combination (this is an old feature of Windows). I know where the keys are located on all the...

Worked beautifully all! Bree is the best! 🌷 🌹 💐 Thank you so much for the advice and guidance! My Surface Pro 2017 (Model 5) is now happily running Windows 11 and all programs intact. It's very important to keep stressing to English speaking people who are not United States Americans, to...

Hey, I would strongly recommend anyone who doesn't have a uefi boot sector to MIGRATE their boot sector to UEFI. There are tutorials and easy-to-use tools for this. You have to put aside about 2-3 hours to read up and do it but it's something you will eventually have to deal with so you might...

I assume that by "your apps" (that is a slang word!!!) Microsoft means "the installed programs, on your Windows machine"...

Ok I'm running it now... I got the "Keep apps and files" option now, thanks to having a UK iso. This must be what went wrong when I upgraded my laptop and EVERYTHING was overwritten. I'd downloaded an iso from some filesharing site and it was the US version. I upgrade so seldom that I didn't...

Thank you!! Default system UI language : en-GB The UI language fallback is : en-US System locale : en-GB Default time zone : FLE Standard Time Active keyboard(s) : 0809:00000809, 0419:00000419, 041d:0000041d Keyboard layered driver : Not installed.

EDIT: Oh I just figured out what the problem might me. US vs UK English on the Operating system. If your system is UK (which I think my Surface is, since that's my preference), it will only update if my iso file is also UK English. Microsoft calls this INTERNATIONAL. I think I got my...

Thank you soooo much for the clear instructions! I started doing this, but I think it wants to do an install from scratch (meaning, I'd have to install all programs anew). This happened by mistake when I updated my laptop... I don't want to risk it happening with the Surface Pro. I already...

Hi all! If I force Windows 11 on a device not considered compatible.... Will Windows Update still work (i.e. will I set myself up for an ingoing saga of tweaking and fiddling to keep it running)? This is a device that is borderline compatible - I expect it to perform adequately with Win 11.

Yup - Wild horses couldn't convince me to use it at all. I'm certainly not logged into it and I'd be extremely reluctant to use it for anything at all. Obviously work forces you to use it - but I wouldn't put anything personal on it. Both because I don't trust Microsoft and because I don't...

Oh yes, that's right - I bought it in Q1 2018 (recall it as a cold snowy day), so it's possible it could have been a leftover from the previous year. Thank you for the explanation! It was perfect and now I understand what happened. I'm not quite sure what core isolation instructions are, and...

In 2018 I bought Surface Pro (slim tablet with large screen, produced by Microsoft ). I bought the top end model, with everything at highest possible spec. I don't remember the exact price but it was over 2500 EUR. Not exactly a bargain for a tablet, right? I ended up using it only very rarely...
