@TimeBandit the other big advantage is that even if the GUI is fucked you still have the command line. Including regedit.
I mean, the problem of GUI getting fucked on regular basis is pretty much Linux-exclusive

FFS. You now have to edit the registry to put the damn thing back where it belongs - on the left.
I was told the biggest advantage of Windows is that you always have a GUI to change things.
Even if that GUI is often regedit
IME that's only true for things Microsoft really really really doesn't want you to do, but the Windows developers themselves want this option so they put in a backdoor. Moving the taskbar is exactly this kind of thing.
You can even do that on Mac (which I do because it wastes an ungodly amount of laptop screen real estate on the bottom). Heck, you probably could even do that on customization-hostile gnome assuming they have something resembling a task bar in the first place.
I really couldn’t give a shit if MS doesn’t want me to move the taskbar, just because there’s probably a printer driver out there that formats your drives if you have the wrong taskbar layout.
-
@topspin hell, you can do it just fine in Windows 10. They just removed it for 11.

My system sometimes gets stuck like that (Dell). Requires a reboot to release it. Of course, all internet access still works fine.
I've unwittingly been rebooted several times over the past year. Actually, I expect to have been forcibly rebooted overnight as I hit the button and that included a cum update (still fucking annoying you can't select which updates you install, all or nothing, baby fuckers!).

Status: eeyup, log in, noticing my fans aren't spinning. 27 windows, all gone. It's a good thing I wasn't doing anything.
But hey! Notepad opened back up (twice!) with a file I had saved (not the one I hadn't), so that's positive, right?!?
That'll teach me to click the "sure, whatever" button....

Just upgraded to Win11.
The first issue... how do I dock the taskbar to the left? I've done so since I change to these 16:9 displays. And for my current setup the wiring blocks the lower left corner so I'm unable to see the start button.
You might try Bring back the ability to move the taskbar to the top and sides of the screen on Windows 11.
Alternatively, get Start11 or something similar.

It's from the Feedback Hub and I never know if a particular one is from an Insider or regular complaint. (Plus this is one that was merged together from a ton of others.)
(googles) FFS. You now have to edit the registry to put the damn thing back where it belongs - on the left. Let's see how long I can hold out...
From what I understand, you can force it to appear on the left or right but the icons won't be there. Top probably works fine?

Right click on the Dock itself, turn on Hiding. Or change it to the side. Or both; I don't care.

Add an alarm with early reminders in your outlook (or what ever else you might use for that purpose) in order to wake YOU up before the work day ends.
Would be very embarrassing if you were asked why you collected so many over-hours, while you were actually sleeping in front of the screen (I know that danger!).
-
During Win11 upgrade (still in Win10 at that time) Intel Optane Memory and Storage Application started to send a lot of warning regarding my SSD (Samsung PM991, not supported by Samsung's own diagnostics tool) is degraded (19 warning received in 4 hours). However the drive is normal in HP Hardware Diagnostic as well as the UEFI one (the UEFI one includes SMART check as well as the 2 hours full test)
So... I'm going to assume it's some kind of version incompatibility and mute notification from Optane until the next update of it.

And I bet you weren't actually standing up during the meeting. Tsk tsk...

You don't want me to (forcibly) install a cum update in you overnight?

Been there, done that.
If I can (and I'm awake), I try close meetings for everybody when they end (e.g. Zoom). Zoning out happens to the best of us, and I figure not everybody needs to know who did and who didn't end up paying full attention. Especially in meetings that don't really matter that much anyway.
-
LOL. Decided to see what the Win11 compatibility GUID is for a manifest (so windows won't lie about what version things are). It's the same as Win10. Evidently, in order to id Win11, you have to look at the build number 21996.

@Zerosquare someone remind me on Friday, I’ll have to check some dead tree resources on 95 where I think I read it first.
So of course nobody reminded me, but I just remembered.
Windows 95. No "God mode" entry, but certainly the "name a folder
whatever.{CLSID}
" for leet hackery.
-
I've recently opened an external drive to which I had copied a "God Mode" file. Of course it works from there as well, why wouldn't it?
But it was a little surprising seeing all these things I didn't remember copying appear on that spot of the file tree all of a sudden.

Huh.

need to find a way to put a clock on the secondary monitor

They spent effort to remove that?! Why????

@Tsaukpaetra it was gone in W10 by default too. And now the defaults are the only way.

Weird, mine still has the clocks by default I thought. Will have to check when I go in tomorrow...
-
@Tsaukpaetra My Win10 Home has the clock on both monitors, although I'm not sure if that was the default or I configured it that way. There are other taskbar elements (search box, notification area, language bar) that are only on the primary monitor.

IIRC: Initially Windows 10 only showed the clock on one monitor's taskbar. They added the ability to show it on the others later. So... ?

Since time
immemorial we knew Tsaukpaetra wasn’t actually reading what had eagerly been marked as such, and at long last we finally have the proof. Monumentous.

@TimeBandit he's right for all the wrong reasons. "Muh PC! Internet not me, me is PC and internet not PC! <incoherent schreeching>" isn't logical reasoning. Neither is "they want me so badly to use it so I refuse to use it because I can". But there exists one very simple logical reason not to do it: what happens when the online account is locked/deleted for whatever reason?
It's for the same reason why I'll never buy Oculus despite currently being the best price-to-performance offer on the VR market by far. You say one wrong thing on FB and all your devices are bricked.

Do you own your PC? Do you control it?
-
@topspin except that's not what he's talking about. No mention of ownership, no mention of control - but entire paragraphs about being an old-timer for whom a PC and the internet are separate and ought to stay separate, out of principle alone, and logging into PC with online credentials "breaches" this distinction.
