Found a great nostalgic background over on Microsoft teams, along with clippy, solitare and paint but this is the best imo

I am finding it unnatural to combine the Wi-Fi and volume in the task bar.

I used Windows update and installed 22000.65 update, my desktop right click "AMD Radeon Software" has disappeared, maybe a driver reinstall will add it to right click function again? ok nevermind, I see there is a "Show more options" at the bottom of the right click menu and this brings up a more traditional right click menu with the AMD option there, that kinda sucks so I have it pinned to the taskbar now. Noticed some improvements/changes in the Start button menu, there is now an address bar though you could start typing in the old one and it would search anyway? the notification area when clicked also brings up the calendar, not sure if that was there before? it also looks slightly slicker, maybe some changes to icons etc nothing major from what I can see though this is just what I noticed, I haven't done any kind of in-depth comparison I do like it though and have had little in the way of any bugs or issues

you can start typing and it will search after pressing start button or the windows key

Yeah that's different. I'm indifferent about it though.

Does that actually work?

Yes but as M$ after those big Updates "Though not seen on 11 *Yet" but 10 on their 3Month? Update it'll reinstall crap though you'll have to uninstall or use a Debloat Script LINK

He's right...?

Yeah, I've just been using the VC on my keyboard.

How about the check boxes that don't quite fill out?

You mean the ring highlight? That's deliberate. I'm ok with it.

Shrek · Jul 10, 2021

I probably just need to get used to the new way.

He's not wrong on some of those points. However he didn't really show much beyond the HardenTools. He also didn't touch in program/app micromanagement. Denying programs, apps and parts of the OS access to the internet is an important aspect of securing a PC.

Anyone else seen this with 22000.65?

Yea, confirmed by me also, and simply toggling the option in the notification area doesn't enable it, I have downloaded some defender updates though about 10 minutes ago so maybe that will fix it?

theFOoL · Jul 11, 2021

Same but it'll be fix in due time just re-enable in the menu...

Afteer a restart does it seem to miss the time-zone where one has to tick it off/on or is it just me?

Funny how the original XP field was always accused of being fake, because of the JPEG artifacts, when in fact the field was actually a real photo, unaltered, just JPEG'd out the wazoo.

This one shows much better.

freeagent · Jul 11, 2021

Hey thanks for that link, it is my desktop now.. its been a long time since I have seen that. Since Vista went live pretty much..

Shrek · Jul 11, 2021

Noticed this, can i just ignore it then? does ASS need to be on?

Hugis · Jul 11, 2021

Apart from the bugs you guys have mentioned this PC is running 11(no difference in speed to 10) just fine, im really liking it tbh.

No, it doesn't. You'll be fine without it.

Right? I'm liking it too. The new right-click context menu is starting to bug me, but only because I use it a lot. Didn't realize just how much until needing to click "Show more options" 75% of the time. I hope they create an option to force the normal menu to show instead or disable the new menu. I mean the new one is nice, it's just incomplete. I use the complete one way too much to have to go through that extra click all the time. Way too cumbersome.

Yeah I'm in agreement with that I'm a right clicker too and have to admit that it is a bit of a pain in the rear.

Lycanwolfen · Jul 11, 2021

Just tested the latest build 22000.65 man it's getting worse not better. The settings now for privacy you cannot have a scroll on the left side with all the settings easy to turn off. Now its all on the right side and you have to click on each one manually. Like seriously MS every OS you make, make it harder and harder to do the most simple of tasks. Going to take me an hour to lock down this new windows vs 10 min on old windows 10.

Also The background Apps privacy tab is now completely gone. Which means your not allowed to turn it off. WOW!

What do you mean by this? Screenshot maybe?

That is now a per app feature selection. Go to Apps > Apps & Features. Click on each app "Advanced Features" and the "Background apps permissions" just select "Never".
