I didn't have any problems installing this update. But I like to close all my open windows after the update completes but before I let it reboot. So I was bopping along & I came to my open command prompts. I typed exit. Hit enter. Bam. It started to reboot. This has happened before but I...

@dbartenstein I just noticed something in your user information. I probably should have noticed it sooner. You're not on Windows 11 Pro. I'm on Windows 11 Pro. You're on Windows 11 Pro Release Preview. Release Preview is probably experimental. Maybe you're hitting one of the experiments...

And you don't even get this? I wonder . . . I'm running W11 Pro. Maybe this is a tool that's not in the other levels. Are you running Pro? I think I'm at the point of having to leave this for actual experts to help you.

@KevTech Brilliant! @dbartenstein Did you see @KevTech's post above? As for the Windows Tools, it's on my Start Menu. No need to do anything special. Just scroll it down. You have to set the View option for the lower part of the Start Menu to List or Grid. That makes the lower part an...

I'm looking at Complete List of Rundll32 Commands in Windows 11. I don't see an entry there for the Reliability History. I'm concluding that it's not possible to put an icon on the Start Menu for that, nor to do any sort of process automation for opening that display.

@Brink That's all well & good. But the Reliability History is just a clickable button in the old fashioned Control Panel. I clicked mouse button 2 on it & no context menu popped up. I tried dragging it & it wouldn't drag. So the question still remains: How do you put an icon for that in the...

Yes @gunrunnerjohn your image duplicates one I posted upthread. But you're not showing how to put an icon for the Reliability History on the Start Menu.

Really? Please show us a sequence of screenshots of you doing exactly what you're advising.

@Brink Your second tutorial, the one about Reliability History, shows how to open Control Panel & navigate to the Reliability History, which I already kind of summarized in a post upthread. That's not the same as opening the Start Menu & finding an icon there for the Reliability History.

@dbartenstein On my system, I found Reliability History by typing that string into the search field at the top of the Start Menu. It opened the old Control Panel at Control Panel -> System and Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Reliability History. It looks to me like if you want that on...

@Brink Interesting. That made me look at my system. This was just how my Windows 11 install (over 2 years ago) built the drive. Am I just the beneficiary of dumb luck? Or did I do something right by accident? I think it might be helpful to tell people how to make sure they don't fall into...

Since we're sharing pix of our Start Menus . . . That shows the bottom part of my pins & the top part of the All list. That looks like the space is being used reasonably efficiently. There was a lot of wasted space in the Start Menu before. But this looks acceptable now, wouldn't you say?

Actually, it's not hard. Click where it says View: Category & change it to View: List. Presto, there's the list of all apps in alphabetical order. It's a bit clumsy to have them all right there in the top level instead of initially not shown. But at least it's there. My pins occupy enough...

For the Start Menu, clicking Show All brought back all my pins. But now I can't find a way to just list all my apps. You used to be able to get the Start Menu to give you a simple list of all your installed apps in alphabetical order. Now they've junked things up by categorizing things in the...

The error you got mentions the /Source parameter. There is probably some valid value for that that works online without your having to download an ISO. I don't know what that might be. Maybe Google AI (or something else) can help. On the other hand, & I hope somebody reading this can say...
