  1. Put your Win-11 HDD on a diet! Remove the fat!

    I've heard of the program but never used it. I deploy my own Windows systems using MDT/WDS so I cleanup my images beforehand... a lot easier now using the OSDBuilder PowerShell Module. After reading your remarks, it seemed like something worth taking a look it. I was pleased to find they...
  2. File Explorer status bar hides drive or folder with focus

    @druekberg I just remembered there was an auto expand setting with File Explorer. I don't use, so I kinda forgot about it. Here's a Guide on this forum that may help with your situation...
  3. File Explorer status bar hides drive or folder with focus

    That appears to be standard behavior when selecting something in the Quick Access list. I'm not sure Windows will be able to discern the difference between selecting My Drive from under the Quick Access or the My Drive located under the one labeled with your Name. They are the same location...
  4. LAN printer stays offline on a laptop

    Hi Pokeefe, Glasskuter recommended configuring the network printer with a Static IP. Although this can be done on the printer itself, i would recommend using your Router to set the Static IP for your printers MAC address. Be sure to use the correct MAC address (LAN or WLAN). I'd recommend...
  5. In-Place Upgrade question...

    I found a thread here on the topic: Installing Windows 11 by removing appraiserres.dll file This video may help as well: It appears to be entirely possible based on the above. I hope that helps you find your answer... Personally, I prefer a clean install... mainly because I run a Windows...
  6. win and vm

    Hi Marianna, Just to clarify, I'm a little confused now based on your original post. Were you reporting an issue with: Installing Virtual Box on a Windows 11 system? Installing Windows 11 Pro as a VM in Virtual Box? My original test was based on #1 above being your issue/question so I...
  7. win and vm

    Assuming you are referring to the Free version and not the Enterprise version: From what I can see, they don't have W11 listed as compatible: Guest_OSes – Oracle VM VirtualBox However, I was able to install it on a test VM running W11 Pro: Be sure to rule out OS corruption... Also...
  8. Pinning A Batch File To Windows 11 Taskbar

    Agreed... (y) MS loves REMOVING features for no reason. They decided people couldn't use their Taskbar as they see fit; removing the Toolbars for example is when I realized I'll be sticking with my W10 until I fully transition over to Linux as my Host OS. I'm still playing with a few different...
  9. How to pass the Windows 11 Compatibility Checks

    Now tell that to someone who uses their system to make a living...? Now they must either buy a new computer that Microsoft approves for them, or stay on software that will be vulnerable soon? Keep in mind we're talking about the average person; not people who can easily and quickly switch...
  10. I Still Prefer Windows 10

    ************* My short answer: Use VM's and snapshots. Much faster, and deleting unused snapshots clears up storage. ************* I use a dedicated test VM for testing random software. It's a Linked-Clone with VMware Workstation 17 Pro; worth every penny. (free trial) I run an ESXi host on a...
  11. Solved How to Format 5TB drive to fat 32

    Considering you'll be using that drive as internal storage (?) for backups, I would suggest using NTFS. NTFS offers greater performance than exFat for INTERNAL storage. exFat offers greater performance for EXTERNAL storage; primarily SSDs. Using exFat with external storage - such as a USB...
  12. How to pass the Windows 11 Compatibility Checks

    So... we should always embrace cruel change? :oops: just because? I would still encourage you to think about the arguments I've raised and insert yourself into those scenarios. That's the only way to truly find where you stand.
  13. looking for simple List Maker tool or program

    True.. I've used OneNote on my iPad/iPhone, but I don't like my OneNote in the cloud. It's messy as it removes the actual notebook from my computers file system and replaces it with a link to OneDrive. I have several notebooks and they need only stay on my computer. I've never really had a need...
  14. I Still Prefer Windows 10

    I honestly think you should care... and here's why: Because at the end of the day... WE are the CUSTOMERS. How often do YOU buy services from companies that constantly remove services that others enjoy? Do you go online and rave about it? Yay! They removed the heated pool services in the...
  15. How to pass the Windows 11 Compatibility Checks

    I might agree with you in some cases, but not for something that is deeply rooted into everyone's daily lives: Operating Systems. Shoes aren't allowed in my house either...(y)but there are times shoes must be worn; like people doing work in the house wearing boots. They use shoe covers... but...
