  1. Can't remove 'welcome screen' . . .

    I've used the methods posted in tutorials by Brink and on every computer I've tried it on, it's worked. But I bought my wife a new laptop and have been customizing it (mostly to make it easier for me to work with it when I need to 'fix' it for her). I did initially have trouble with some of...
  2. Personalization Add or Remove Gallery in File Explorer Navigation Pane in Windows 11

    (chuckles) . . . of course, you nailed it in one. That link did the trick. I'm still going to keep exploring the tutorials for the myriad of things I still don't know how to do (or do efficiently). Thanks, again!!
  3. Personalization Add or Remove Gallery in File Explorer Navigation Pane in Windows 11

    First, thanks. You don't get that enough, even when a lot of people here do thank you. Second and not to display my ignorance but . . . my wife retired and I bought her a laptop -- one for her alone instead of sharing it with me (I'm sorta jealous because I got her one better than mine . . .)...
  4. Personalization Add Registration Entries (REG) to New Context Menu in Windows 11

    Timely. I just came here to look this up. This made my day a bit easier and brighter. Thank you for all you do.
  5. Remove invalid entries from Programs and Features

    I haven't used CCleaner in years and don't, as a rule, use registry 'cleaners' -- that said, further work on my original problem statement leads me to wonder if judicious use might help get NINA back into clean clothes (or am I pushing the metaphor too far?). In another thread (older thread...
  6. Remove invalid entries from Programs and Features

    In rebuilding my DAVW, I have to download and install (usually with major authentication hoops included) to get all my paid for music/video apps back in the box. This is a long and tedious process. What I've been working on recently is getting my Native Instruments (NI) libraries downloaded...
  7. Installation and Upgrade Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade

    As did I. It took two attempts to get it right, but I got it working Memorial Day in the afternoon and have been busily reinstalling my creative content to get my studio back in working order! Thanks!
  8. Installation and Upgrade Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade

    Sorry if this is a question whose answer is more obvious than I realize but: I am trying to get another system back working without losing what has already been installed (apps, data, links between). My original install on that system used Kari's method of putting the user files on a different...
  9. Windows Update Enable or Disable Include Drivers with Windows Updates in Windows 11

    I apologize, I wasn't specific enough in my message: yes, I did do it the other way so the mission is accomplished (on this computer, at any rate). I'm just not sure why I can't do it or what the MMC message means. I've never had a problem (in Win10pro or other machines) accessing the...
  10. Windows Update Enable or Disable Include Drivers with Windows Updates in Windows 11

    I tried following Option One but got an 'MMC cannot initial the snap-in' (error?) when I tried to access 'Administrative Templates'. A quick 'net search gave me a couple of things to try but nothing either works as stated (in the suggested solutions) or has no apparent effect on making...

    System Configuration data: Asus ProArt Z690 Creator WiFi; Asus RTX 3080; Be quiet Dark Power Pro 12 (1200w); Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 16GBx4; Intel i9-12900KF; Asus Ryujin II AIO cooler; Sabrent NVMe M.2 Rocket 4.0 2TB drive (os); Corsair NVMe M.2 Gen3x4 8TB drive (user); Win11Pro (note: os and...
  12. Installation and Upgrade Clean Install Windows 11

    I have a question: Background: finally nearly finished with building the latest DA.VW should be W11pro compatible and will be installing from a fresh retail version. My limited foray into W10p on the previous attempt to build a similar system was a disaster and it was only after abandoning the...
