Hi ! I’m on windows 11, I have a silver membership to Avast and no threat whatsoever are detected. I have rebooted my computer and reinstalled windows 11 from the cloud.

When my keyboard is off nothing like this happens. Sometimes I have to type a little bit before it sta Continue reading...

If I drag the file icon to the Excel icon it shows as not possible (screenshot below). If I right click the Excel icon on the Start button there is no list of recent files.

windows 11 BitLocker from retired device in Intune
by Guest AliceBeliën- 0 replies
- 5 views
HelloI have a problem with a device I retired via Intune. Apparently, the student's dad was still using the device under his personal Live account. He was using the device to create his invoices and only saved them locally on the device. Understandably, he would very much like to get these files back. We did not get logged in to the device in any way. Via a restore, I already tried some things, but then he suddenly asked for the BitLocker key, which is nowhere to be found. Not through the student's account, not through the dad's account, not through Intune or through Entra. I still see the dev Continue reading...

The inability to reposition the taskbar in Windows 11 has significantly impacted my user experience.I kindly request that you consider reintroducing this feature in a future update. It would greatly enhance the flexibili Continue reading...

Hello i've been having a issue and I'm not sure if it's a windows 11 thing or what. Every time one audio is louder than the other windows takes priority of the louder sound and quitens the other apps slightly until the louder sound stops. It makes it hard to have more than one app open with sound because you need to level out the volume on the volume mixer or it will occur. Here are some things I've tried but they did not work and I also spoke to a few windows team members on the live chat about this:1. Uninstall all audio drivers in windows device manager and let windows reinstall them.2. Upd Continue reading...
