Dynamic Wallpaper with Date \ Time \ Reminders + Other Bits?
Just curious if such a thing exists for a Dynamic Wallpaper that shows things such as the Date \\ Time and other bits that are "live"?
Kind of like this but perhaps something I can customise.

Is there a way to move the location of the volume bar that apears when you're changing volume
It's literally in the way of EVERY player. I like to often scrub and change volume. Who's bright idea was it to stick it right on front of the player bar

Windows Update keeps downgrading Intel iGPU drivers β upvote this Feedback Hub post!
If youβve ever manually installed a newer Intel integrated GPU driver (like from Intelβs official site), youβve probably noticed that Windows Update immediately replaces it with an older version. This happens even if the one you installed is newer and works better.
Itβs super frustrating and, from what Iβve seen, this affects all Intel iGPUs across different generations.
I submitted feedback to Microsoft about it β if youβre annoyed by this too, please take a second to upvote it in the Feedback Hub so they notice:

Hopefully with enough upvotes (100+?), Microsoft will fix how driver updates are handled. Ideally, they should either:
Check versions properly before replacing a driver
Or let us block updates for specific devices
Thanks!

How do I unlink a windows license from my account, but not the computer I am selling?
I have two computers I am selling with Windows 11 Pro retail licenses. I want to do a factory reset and unlink my account so the person buying them can take ownership. Is that possible? All the guides I find are just explaining how to unlink the retail license so you can keep it. I am trying to leave it with the PCs I am selling. Thanks!

A left aligned start menu button is superior to center aligned one
If i want to click on the Windows 11 center aligned start menu button I nedd to aim precisly with it with my mouse.
If I want to click on a left aligned one, il can trow my mouse cursor on the left down corner of my screen (I play a lot of starcraft so I like the fast mouse movement) and i'm on it.
That's why I think than "A left aligned start menu button is superior to center aligned one".
And it's a simple Windows11 parameter.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Allowing a potential dangerous file through
So I was unzipping a file earlier, and defender warned me about potential hazard, marked HIGH for one of the zipped files. I let it go through and then did a scan on it which ended with no issues. If the file was really a problem would it report it on the scan ?

Cannot figure out which shortcut I am using
Hello!
This isn't a tech issue or anything, just simple user error, lol.
While playing videogames, I keep accidentally moving it to another session on Windows. At least that is what it seems like. When I reopen the game on Steam it brings me back to the game window and all is good.
Normally when it happens I am holding down Shift, W, and A.
If anyone knows if this window/session swapping is a feature I can disable, I'd love to hear how to! Or the shortcut itself would be nice to know so I can avoid it, haha.
Thanks if anyone is able to help!

Why does Microsoft not make a LTSC version for consumers?
Yes, I know LTSC isn't available legally for home users, I was just using a copy of it unregistered though, and honestly as a Linux user for decades, long before Windows 11 (but certainly aware of people's generally opinions on it) I was like "Wow, this genuinely makes this version of windows not only more usable than Windows 11 without all the adds and widget cruft but actually feel better knowing it will be stable like this." On its own merits, it solves a lot of issues I've had with windows since the epoch of W10. Slower feature updates, more stability (compared to the near constant bugs I've faced on my poor Windows 11 Pro laptop) and most importantly no advertising or pointless programs included out of the box are the killer features.
I just wonder, why does Microsoft not offer something similar for home users? In the Linux world, over time even if you start with the constatly-updating Distros like Fedora, most people will prefer a Debian or an Ubuntu- a stable, simple system that does what it needs to and works for a long time without also bringing constant feature changes. I'm not even expecting a huge amount of extra support, maybe just the three years in between each LTSC.
For many Windows users anxious about Windows 11, I feel like it's mostly because of worries of the amount of bad updates, instability, and general overload of too much stuff on the default install. An offering like a home/pro version of LTS I feel would bring a lot of those people over easily and with good will even.
But, am I missing something perhaps? I just don't know why Microsoft doesn't offer this while seemingly even MacOS technically has this LTS-format for their updates for ages.

Setting up with a Local User on a fresh install
The old methods Iβve seen on here seem to all be disabled. Now you have to choose your language, connect to the internet to get past that first screen, and then on the account sign in page:
Shift+F10
then end the command:
start ms-cxh:localonly

INTERESTING Keyboard Shortcut...
You may know that Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + (letter) opens apps in Microsoft 365 (if it is installed). For example, Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + W opens Word and Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + P opens PowerPoint.
I decided to switch the last letter out for other keys and found that Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + SPACEBAR opens the emoji picker, just like Win + . does.
This is very strange...

Creation of a USER account by Windows
Good morning, today I updated Windows via Windows Update, and at the end of the update, an account named USER appeared, automatically created by Windows.
Is this normal? Can it be deleted? Is it important for Windows or not?
