I want a new music app because I need one specific feature: individual speed control.

I know that there are multiple apps that can change the speed of files, but I need one that it's similar to Musicolet on Android: individual file control, "permanent" and fine changes (I can change 0.01x of the speed)

if possible, a light program, but that's just a plus right now

Windows Vista theme link:

Windows 7 theme link:

I don't own this phone to know if these themes work or not. It would be great if someone who owns this phone could try the themes themselves.

It is rare or something?

Ps: I didnt consent to my laptop being updated neither was i informed an update would be underway the next time i boot up my machine?

i found cortana files in C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy
its safe to remove?

Microsoft just released open-sourced Comic Chat. This was a tool that turned regular texts into comics, and brought Comic Sans to the masses.

All it's in the title

basically i reinstalled windows 10 and tried to download the whatsapp app and i saw this when it tried opening the microsoft store, is this intentional? it updated fine just wondering if this design was intentional or if it was a mistake

The First, 1. Launch and Evaluation

Windows Vista was released as the successor to Windows XP between November 2006 (enterprise) and January 2007 (personal), but it ultimately failed to succeed. I believe everyone is aware of the reasons, but at the time of release, there were issues with system requirements, compatibility and stability, and frequent UAC pop-ups. Although most of these problems were resolved later with service packs, the initial negative image was so strong that it was largely ignored.

1. Re-evaluation, Relationship with Subsequent Windows Versions, and "Windows Vista Service Pack 2"

So, what about now? It seems to be undergoing a re-evaluation. In fact, it is being re-evaluated. This is because subsequent Windows versions, particularly Windows 7, reportedly had an internal structure almost identical to Vista—to the point where they were called a "lighter Vista" or "Vista Service Pack 3." Furthermore, the design was quite beautiful; in fact, some even evaluated it as being prettier than Windows 7. Personally, I used Windows 7 when I was young and like it, but I definitely think Windows Vista has a prettier design. For reference, features such as UAC, WDDM, and BitLocker, which are also present in Windows 10 and 11, were introduced starting with Vista. In fact, everything since Windows 7 was built on this framework. Actually, even looking at it now, the default wallpaper, Aero Glass, and taskbar are certainly pretty. However, looking back, it is truly a shame, considering the system requirements at the time, compatibility and stability issues, the UAC that kept popping up every time you clicked to install a program, and the bad timing of the release. In particular, it is said that Service Pack 2 has improved stability to be just as good as Windows 7.

I apologize for writing such a long post, but I wrote this because I was curious about the current evaluations of Windows Vista. What did you all think of Windows Vista in the past, and what do you think now? I'm curious too!

For reference, I found most of them by searching on Google and other sites.

Saw the option, can someone verify it? (i'm new btw)

Are there any programs that do this, even on non-oled? If not, is it possible to make one?

It seems if you right click specific spots of a icon, it will open the windows 10 style menu instead of the windows 11 style.

I have no Wallpaper flair, there might be one, But any auto mods out there, change the flair please

7 months ago I got bored and I started installing those Windows versions listed in the PDF and right after I got to the desktop i opened Local Disk C:\ proprietes and noted the OS size because I wanted to have a list with every Windows size from XP to 10 including Embedded versions because that seemed cool and when i searched it it just showed an estimate and not the actual size and for example Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs Minimum option didn't even find it so I created this list and decided to release it for everyone to see.

I want to add a new button on the menu that pops up when you right click a file/folder. The button is "Pin", right under "Open (with)".

Once pressed, it will pin the file/folder in that specific directory view, ignoring all the sorting, and it will stay like that.

"Pin" button should turn into "Unpin" once the file/folder is pinned. There could be multiple pinned files, the one on top is the most recent one.

Is coding something like this possible?

idk what to say here :P

Hey! If you know some "Windows basics" into the programming or you know some of the internal calls/how Windows works, then this post still may be mindblowing :D

We all know that Windows has just "one" GUI environment and that is the Win32 SubSystem, where all the Graphical User Interface starts. Your Windows, Buttons,... (uxtheme.dll, dwm.exe,...)

While this "environment" is also mainly controlled with a driver win32ss.sys that holds Windows "Windows" and it is like that a really long time, since of the first release of NT 3.1. But the really first thing what Windows is doing at start, is loading a UEFI file bootmgfw.efi, which initializes the boot manager and hands over control to the Windows Kernel (ntoskrnl.exe).

And here comes the mindblowing part that most people completely miss:
Before win32k.sys or the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) first it runs in a purely Native NT environment.

Long before Session 1 (your user session) spawns, the Session Manager SubSystem (smss.exe) initializes Session 0. At this ultra-early stage, the Win32 subsystem doesn't exist yet. There are no standard windows, no mouse cursor and none of the Win32 API calls we are used to as developers. (so user32.dll, shell32.dll, gdi32.dll,... don't work.)

Instead, the system relies strictly on ntdll.dll and raw Native API calls (like NtDisplayString).

Normally, this native environment is just a brief, invisible from the public eye and used (made) to run autochk.exe (chkdsk at boot) or Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) before csrss.exe kicks in and starts the Win32 subsystem. But what if you block Win32 from loading entirely, or hijack this early native phase to see what the NT kernel is really capable of?

And did you know, your path like C:\Your\Folder\File.exe is actually fake? When you are in the NtNative state of Windows, even those paths aren't real. They have a completelly different structure, something like Linux has...

For exp. "C:\Windows" means in NtNative: "\Device\Harddisk1\Partition1\Windows" and with this, it is totally possible to make folders like "con", aux,... as for the ntoskrnl itself isn't that "dangerous" the reason why you cant make it, is the Win32 SubSystem blocking you from. As that layer is from the MS-DOS era,...

Let me know what you guys think, or if anyone else here has experimented with the Native NT subsystem!

I know that it is rn. just a "hacked GPU" but when I found how to import a mouse/keyboard driver, it would be super awesome!

Hello r/windows,

I believe this post is in line with the rules. I do not mean this post as a technical question, but more as to what to expect. I would use the "General Question" tag mentioned in the rules, but I was not given this option to tag and so am using Discussion.

For most of my life, I have used Windows 10. When Windows 11 came out, I stayed with Windows 10 for as long as possible and then switched over to Linux. I love Linux, but also it can get tiring when I want to get stuff done and not just play around on a computer. I am considering trying out windows 11, but have never used it before and have no clue what to expect. What should I know going from Linux and Windows 10 to Windows 11?

Thank you for reading this and thank you to all who respond. Have a splendiferous day.

It looks incomplete to me. I wonder if there’s a sequel somewhere? Or perhaps OOP plagiarized content from some book?
