This Answer: How to use Wireless and Wired Connection both at a same time in Windows 7? That is probably the best answer, but note that the user here states upfront that you don't do this for better network performance, but to use two different networks at the same time. Windows won't manage...

Running a task in the Scheduler with "Run with highest privileges" Does not request a password when the task is run. That's a neat trick we learned years ago to run any task as Admin without needing to enter a password.

Kinda surprised I haven't seen EdgeDeflector. Make Windows Search use your preferred browser rather than Edge. Personally, I install it right after installing Brave. Nice to have a Browser with built-in Ad Blocking.

The Mac paradigm, which came first so it certainly can be improved, came about because they noticed that when people wanted to move the mouse to the Menubar they could get there much easier when it was at the top of the screen. Try it out, Position the mouse in the middle of the screen, then...

Heh, well that's true enough. But I have to assume my Grandkids are honest. ;) We're the same age, however!

LOL, well then if your OCD can tolerate the occasional Blue Screen or CTD, then by all means start deleting things in the Operating System directory if they annoy you. On a serious note, stash this link on another computer so you can find it when needed...

I've learned two things from this thread. People like to change even the tiniest of details in the UI. Microsoft doesn't want people doing that in Win 11

Well, besides just about every game already mentioned...Borderlands 3, FFXIV, ARK, WoT, Gears 5 (still), Hades, Hell Let Loose, MS FlightSim 2020, Valheim, The Ascent. I'm retired, I have time on my hands. Is there something besides Games that these machines can do?
