This tutorial will show you how to share host folders with read or write permissions in Windows Sandbox for your account in Windows 11.
Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine.
A sandbox is temporary. When it's closed, all the software and files and the state are deleted. You get a brand-new instance of the sandbox every time you open the app.
You can use a Windows Sandbox configuration (.wsb) file to share folders from the host with read or write permissions.

This tutorial will show you how to change your DNS Server address and enable DNS over HTTPS (DoH) in Windows 11.
A DNS (Domain Name System) server is the service that makes it possible for you to open a web browser, type a domain name and load your favorite websites.
DNS over HTTPS (DoH), or Secure DNS, is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove recommended websites on the Start menu for your account, specific users, or all users in Windows 11.
The Start menu is comprised of three sections: Pinned, All apps, and Recommended.
Starting with Windows 11 build 23451 (Dev), Microsoft is re-introducing websites after trying this out with Insiders last fall. One improvement Microsoft made is to recommend more useful and personal websites based on your browsing history instead of generally popular websites. Insiders can right-click on a website and choose to remove a website individually at any given time. Only some Insiders will see this experience and, if you do, please share your feedback.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Reserved Storage feature in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Disabling reserved storage will free up the hard drive space reserved by reserved storage.
To make sure your device can successfully update and that it runs its best, Windows reserves a portion of storage space on your device for use by temporary files, caches, and other files. When your device is low on space, Windows will clear reserved storage so it can be used for other processes, like a Windows update. Reserving storage also helps keep disk space usage on your device more predictable and more stable.
How does it work?
When apps and system processes create temporary files, these files will automatically be placed into...
