So I'm on Win11. This is going to be about general purpose Win11 oddities I run up against. (btw. I'm hoping this might be a place others new to Win11 might come...)
1: Sound. (Realtek internal speakers on this laptop) I have a half a dozen sound-related windows up...can hear sounds when I do something incorrectly like click on a window behind the active window. Also managed to bring something up which showed both speakers on the laptop worked.
YouTubes employing sound do not sound off.
2: What does "Mobility Center" mean? Is Mobility Center, for example, inappropriate to Win10?
3. When you sort a directory by Name, Win11 by default super-sorts the directory by Time-related categories (e.g. Today, Yesterday, Last week, Last month, ... BC...)
What's the fix to prevent all that time-related stuff from coming up at all...ever!?
4. Right-mouse clicking on a file/folder item, rather than providing one with a list of all available options, relative to that file, that are currently available (a list who's length is partially dependent on what apps a user might have downloaded that can specifically be applied to files or folders--always ended with the very useful "Properties" item) instead displays a severely protracted list with as the last item "Show more options".
4a) What's the permanent fix that instead displays, by default, the complete list o items (ending with Properties).
4b) Is there a way to remove selected items to that list of Right-click categories?
4c) and/or to install a new sub-menu,
