Was cruising and saw this summary (on Neowin ) of what you can expect in W11's Moment 3. There appear to be some good changes, but as in the case of widgets, they don't go far enough: They sadly won't be enabled for use on the desktop. There'll be more "Recommended for you" links stuck on the start menu, so get Stardock's Start11 , and remain the boss of your start menu. Head to the linked article for the article, and screenies...and have a good day, people!
Found a nifty, free utility which does just about everything paid utilities do, for free. It even has a light and dark theme. It's for use with W11. I put together a composite of the available screens in the utility, below (numbered 1-6). As you can see, it offers quite a bit for a free utility, available in the Microsoft Store. I have to say, I'm impressed. You also have the possibility of changing the settings and offering feedback to the developer from inside each screen. &nb...
This surfaced this morning...from Gizchina: If true, W12 will be stunning...so many new features. The taskbar, Start menu, explorer...all revolutionary. The dynamic dark mode looks gorgeous. To be clear, MS hasn't confirmed anything, and this is a concept video, but: "The highly reputable concept creator, Addy Visuals has come up with something new that shows how Windows 12 will look like, and it’s stunning. This same concept creator has a long standing...
MS should never have changed W10's task bar in W11. The fact they did helped prevent me from transiting to W11 long before I did. The main reasons I did adopt W11 was WB11 and Start11. It's time to make my manners with a large "Thank you, Brad and Stardock!". Now, something more personal. It was this month, 21 years ago that I joined as a member. I've never regretted that decision. My life and desktop have never been ordinary since. Which brings me to the second reason for this post:...
Windows latest reported on a possible first AI feature addition to Windows 11 in the article linked above. Smart snap already exists which appears on mousing over the maximize button after enabling Smart snap in System>Settings>Multitasking>Snap Windows. The addition of AI will add the ability of the system to learn preferred window size per app, apparently, and in a layout you choose which can be reapplied in a single click. The Windows Latest article has a gif illustrating this. ...

The new Winamp is here as a customizable (on your machine) streaming webservice with video, audio, fanzone... which you can read about here: https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/12/the-new-winamp-player-will-launch-on-april-13-2023/ So, you create an account, and download the player which has a very cool flat black look, and then discover that "the new Winamp player does not support integrating a local music library or online library of audio files to an account...This leaves a very s...
Another reason to get Start11: M$ is planning to advertise on the W11 start menu...as if it weren't crappy enough as it is. Even if Start11 can't rid us of their adverts, we can switch to the W10 or W7 menus. from windowslatest This first appeared in the optional March update, but will be in the April or May update as non-optional. For now, there's a way to shut it down via an optional toggle to Settings > Personalization > Start, so you can easily disable...
This just in from Carl, aka c242. Here's the translation via the Deskmodder.de site: "As with the previous optional update in February, Microsoft has renewed the notice that third-party applications such as Explorerpatcher, TranslucentTB or similar tools cause problems with the current KB5023774 or for Windows 11 22H2 the KB5022913 can come. Microsoft therefore recommends uninstalling this tool in advance, as it did last month. Microsoft itself will not do anything...
Damn it, Jim...I'm a Doctor, not a writer! Dr. McCoy could have said that, but he didn't: I did, and the Jim isn't Cap't. Kirk, he's RnD. Jim suggested I do an article about deepfakes (per Merriam Webster: an image or recording that has been convincingly altered and manipulated to misrepresent someone as doing or saying something that was not actually done or said). I decided to expand on that to include the pluses and minuses (the good and bad, if you will) of AI...even to the good...

Taras Buria brings soon to come changes to Edge to us in the article linked above at Neowin. I recommend reading the original article there. Buria reports and links other articles regarding improvements namely some positive changes such as an improved password monitor, a new productivity feature (two tabs in one window), and reimagining (Project Phoenix) - Mica treatment and rounded corners, as well as the subject of this: "Discover": (image credit Neowin) The new button will pop ...
MS is at it again. The "it" is deceptive advertising regarding the upgrade from W10 to W11. The upper picture is the upgrade screen as it appears on the W10 screen, a "full-screen Windows 11 ad offering to upgrade to the latest operating system. And in typical Microsoft fashion, available options are as head-scratching as it gets: two buttons, and both mean "I agree." - Taras Buria, Neowin The blue and white buttons (red arrows) both mean to "upgrade". The yellow arrow points to t...
