Back at it - while the answer to your question finally became clear - with latest news related to Start Menu and future intents. Tho, nothing new.... "the usual corporate cringe even (Google, Facebook and co)" - as in.... "Advertisement!"
What you need to know
Microsoft has began testing...
It's April. Don't see the point in stressing over an update - intended for September, but usually delayed till October or November. A lot can change till then. So I'll dabble with this - after or during the install (in case - they change something till then - which implies some incompatibility).
It's true, tho. 😜
Just look back at Windows Millennium - where people where hating on Microsoft for bringing so little to the table compared to Windows 98. Thus, they released XP - and the people were happy.
Then with Windows Vista - they tried to do the opposite (and give more) - but people were...
Currently and for a long time - that's Apple's territory: macOS meant only for proprietary hardware, and only the way Apple desires. Even the hardware - meant to be repaired only by official Apple services - at the most overpriced prices. Thus, the thousands of Apple lawsuits against thousands...
If i was to guess - i'd say some of the changes involving this updates - caused some conflicts/issues during beta testing. That would be the logical assumption - cause as was proven in the past - when it comes to implementing all kinds of changes - Microsoft is also known to work in mysterious...
Microsoft is guilty of all kinds of things (and worthy of blame) - but this particular case - is not one of them. Point being... their reasoning in this specific case (while taking into account the way Windows works and the ecosystem on which is built-upon) - is mostly valid. This apps (or more...
Still in development stages (even labeled as a preview tool), so not that surprising. Works for some...
...but not fully functional.
Anyway, in all my years of using Windows - always used alternatives to default photo or video viewer/editor - since the alternatives were superior in any way...
If still free, Photos app will be the only free photo editing app that can do that (as far i'm aware - all the other are Paid). Which makes it a nice gesture from Microsoft - definitely worth the extra size (imagine getting paid extra features for free - and complaining about the size). Also, since...
That's because it comes with A.I. as in Generative Erase (similar to advanced photo editing tools) - which can automatically erase a subject/object from the photo - while filling that part as if it was never there.
Win Key + R enter services.msc
- scroll down the SysMain - right click and Disable it
Win Key + E - right click on C:\ Drive, select Proprieties and uncheck the following:
And yes, Windows 7 does have less background tasks - which makes it less intensive on the HDD compared to Windows 11...
Take a photo of your Taskbar - and find a paint shop which can match the color exactly. Use a brush and paint over the date - and you'll be left with the time. 😉
Some found this useful - while dealing with same issue:
When you get an error which displays an "error code" like in you screenshot: 0x89235113
Google for that error code - in this case google for 0x89235113 and you might bump into some topic with same issue - where someone already found a...
Probably stops one of the XBOX services - which restarts on reboot.
Use Windows Search and type Services
- after you open the Services app click on Name (to sort all services by name) - and scroll down till you find the following:
:
Right click on each of those and click Start. Try to login...
Apples and Oranges. Both can be used as file managers/explorers - but not in the same way. Double Commander is simply more practical (in more ways than just one - since there's dozens of extra settings and different ways of doing things - which one may find more practical). It helps and it's...
Double Commander - when i have work involving with multiple partitions (moving files or simply browsing/using files from multiple partitions). Tho, most seem to use it - as a file manager and replacement for Windows Explorer. Started with Total Commander (long ago) - switched to Free Commander...
