This tutorial will show you how to see which apps have requested passkey creation, usage, and enumeration in the last 7 days for your account in Windows 11.

Passkeys can be used without the need for other sign-in challenges, making the authentication process faster, secure, and more convenient.
You can use passkeys with any applications or websites that support them, to create and sign in with Windows Hello. Once a passkey is created and stored with Windows...

This tutorial will show you how to remove a included folder or drive from a library for your account in Windows 11.
Windows 7 introduced libraries, which provide users with a single, coherent view of their files even when those files are stored in different locations. Libraries can be configured and organized by a user and a library can contain folders that are found on the user's computer and also folders that have been shared over a network. Libraries present a simpler view of the underlying storage system because, to the user, the files and folders in a library are displayed in one single view location, no matter where they are actually physically stored.
In File Explorer, users interact with libraries in ways similar to how they...
