I’ll upgrade the day they let me turn off combine task bar buttons.

Reinstall with CSM disabled should fix your problem.

Klyith posted:If you have bad drivers that seem to keep coming back, turn off automatic driver installation. After Windows/drivers, it's basically "reinstall 1Password, Chrome and Office, make sure they're set up properly, reinstall Steam and point it to the relevant Steam library folders" for me. Every few weeks/month I might (*might*) need to reinstall some other program, but that's 10 minutes here or there spread over months, not a big deal. Like, yes, there are scenarios where it's a bigger deal - LTE-only internet, music production and the trash-rear end software involved, but for the most part, a reinstall really isn't that hard.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Are some of those capable of working over a cable of some sort? I've made light use of the Windows Project to PC function, and found that on low-powered hardware it struggles, and even on higher-powered hardware the wifi lag can be annoying. I've also tried using a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter and run into some of the same issues. With the lag it would be okay for presenting or something, but as a second monitor it frequently left something to be desired. Synergy, at least when it was free, doesn’t actually make the laptop a screen for the main computer. Instead it lets you use the main computer’s keyboard and mouse to control the laptop, so you can run whatever on the laptop and still only have one set of input devices. It works fantastically as long as you don’t need to move stuff between computers.

mobby_6kl posted:Lol. But also why would anyone ever press that combination in the first place. I use that key combo as an additional modifier key (rebound capslock to it) which does a few things - modifier+A sets a window to always on top, modifier+V does a text-only no formatting paste, etc.

Zotix posted:Is the Win 11 search just straight dog sh*t for anyone else? I hit the windows key to search and it'll pause for 2-3 seconds. It's like it's trying to search the internet before even populating local results first. This is originally on a machine with a 3900x processor, and now on a machine with a 5800x3d processor. I tried disabling Win 11 internet search results, which worked until the computer rebooted. Set up PowerToys and use PowerRun instead.

Pvt. Parts posted:Is a grouped taskbar really... that bad? For quick switching between a couple of windows, alt+tab and the like are preferred. If you can, tile windows you work with simultaneously so they show all at once. And otherwise having stuff grouped is more organized and less cluttered. I feel like people don't give grouped a serious chance. Yes, it’s that bad - I don’t want to tab through the multiple programs I have open, I don’t want them all tiled because it makes them unusable, and I don’t give a poo poo about clutter on my taskbar. E: and yes, I gave it a chance.

Vic posted:The point is all your browser tabs are webpages. You're looking at your browser so it makes sense to display further info. If I'm using more programs at once, I don't want the one with the most windows open cluttering my taskbar pushing the one window ones off. That’s why they had a “combine if full” option.

That’s great but I don’t want to tab through a bunch of windows to get to the one I want when there’s a perfectly good interface method for going directly to the one I want. I don’t use a shortcut to switch between browser tabs either.

Seriously. The people who actually should be unhiding system files aren’t going to have a problem using regedit; the people who are going to gently caress up their system by deleting important files because incompetent advice told them to? They’re a lot less likely to go through all that.

WerthersWay posted:When I hit the PRTSC key, Windows 11 now forces me to choose several options (rectangle, freeform, etc.) instead of automatically taking a screenshot of my full screen like it's done for years. How do I get it to stop presenting these options? Either hit Win+prtscr, which screenshots and saves automatically, or in settings -> ease of access -> keyboard turn off the “use prtscrn to open screen snipping” option and then prtscrn will put a screenshot on the clipboard only.

god please help me posted:I'm just curious about this, but does anyone know why my computer refuses to go to sleep sometimes? I set it to sleep, but it immediately snaps out of it. My PC is an insomniac just like me... The previous post is more likely, but if it isn’t working, a lot of joysticks won’t let your computer sleep if they’re plugged in for some loving reason.

disaster pastor posted:Ungrouping windows and showing their titles currently requires third-party software. There are a couple of options; ExplorerPatcher is free but regularly crashed my system, so I'm trying Start11 now. Rumor is that Microsoft will restore the functionality in a coming build, but who knows when. It’s in one of the recent insider beta builds.
