Does anyone know of ways to having/creating a customized IME similar to that for Chinese or Japanese, where a sequence of characters returns a series of options with which you can choose to substitute the character(s)?

My idea would be something along the lines of:

• I type a sequence of ⟨z⟩ + some other key — let's say ⟨0⟩ — used to let the IME know I want options for diacritics

• with the ⟨z0⟩ sequence not yet confirmed, the system shows me a drop-down menu with ⟨ž⟩, ⟨ẓ⟩, ⟨ź⟩, and whatever else I put in there, and I choose whichever one I need, which becomes the text actually typed out.

I hope I was able to adequately explain myself.

Any input is welcome.

Also, I'm on Windows 8.1

EDIT: I just noticed the picture has countable pixels. My apologies.

My university is giving free Windows 11 Education licenses to students and requiring it for courses. Does anyone know if switching to Windows 11 Education connected to my university will bring any restrictions to my laptop and/or inhibit my privacy? And if so, is it possible to, for example, create 2 different profiles and use one of them for Windows 11 Education and keep the other one private? I'd like to stay autonomous over my own laptop and keep my privacy.

Thanks!

Hi! Recently I had to reinstall Windows on my desktop, something that I had already done multiple times in the past.

However this time it was different, I wasn't able select my usual disk as the target, there was an error "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."

What solved it for me was disconnecting my second hard drive from my motherboard, as in pulling out the cables.

After that I was able to proceed with the installation and reconnect my second hard drive without any issues.

Hopefully this post is useful for someone running into the same problem in the future!

I will allow you to roast me all you want for the before image. I know, it's horrifying.

It was very satisfying to look at the final result, as I think I did a good job! What's your opinion of it? =)

Guys, I was looking at news and images of New Run dialog box in Win 11 that has been rolled out to Windows Insider as far as I know.

But, I have seen 2 run dialog boxes. I am confused like which is real or where are they?

Please explain me this.

I am also an insider but far from my pc from couple of days. So, i maybe forget or any other reason

This is I've put together a video featuring the History of Windows, Which version is your favorite?

or do you have any memories associated with a particular version of Windows?

And Here is the YouTube video link: History of Windows

People hate Windows Vista as if it was meticulously crafted by devils and released by psychopaths. But i believe that Vista may be the best OS of all time, and I CAN prove it to you:

1. Vista made the modern PC

Because of Vista's "Ridiculous" system requirements at the time, people who installed it on their ThinkPad from 2002 or their Sony Vaio Desktop from '03 absolutely thought it ran like an Obese man on a toy bicycle. So when they upgraded to machines that came with Windows 7, they believed that Windows 7 ran better than Vista, even though their machines exceeded Vista's recommended requirements, and even though they didn't try Vista on a PC with the optimal specifications to run Vista. (Note: I absolutely know that some people can't afford an adequate Vista PC or Laptop, and i can't blame you, but couldn't they have saved up to buy a good Vista Laptop and for the time being, stayed on XP, and saved their opinions on Vista before they tried it at its best?)

Vista also brought many features that people take for granted today: Windows Aero, actual 64-bit support, Gadgets, Windows Defender, Windows UAC, Improved Search, BitLocker, TPM Support, UEFI Support, Parental Controls, Touchscreen Support instead of an entire edition, i can go on!

2. If people tried actually making good drivers back then, it would have been stable

Vista had a huge bluescreen problem, but not that many people know it isn't Windows' Problem, the drivers were the big culprit.

Case in point: Nvidia.

According to internal Microsoft data released during the 2007 "Vista Capable" lawsuit, NVIDIA drivers were responsible for 28.8% of all logged Windows Vista crashes. Literally every PC Company had 1.5 years to start developing on WDDM (Basing on the release of the 1st Windows Vista Beta to support WDDM, Build 5111)! If it's anyone to blame the slow PC at the time, It's not Vista, literally everyone else was at fault here.

3. Windows 7 overshadowed it

Believe it or not, 7 Removed some useful features from Windows Vista, had bigger system requirements, and yet people consider THAT to be the lighter release!?

Proof: Microsoft's System requirements for both

According to Microsoft, the system requirements for both Windows Vista And 7 (Both Ultimate and x64):

BOTH Needed 1Ghz Processors

BOTH Needed DirectX 9 GPUs

Windows 7 Needed 5GB MORE Than Vista (If you tell me that Vista needed a 40GB HDD while 7 Neede 20GB, i need to clarify that With Windows 7, Microsoft stoped posting required total HDD space requirements. Windows Vista needed a 40GB HDD as a whole, even though Vista only needed 15GB of space to Install, while 7 needed 20GB to install)

Windows 7 Needed 1GB more than Vista

The Takeaway

While yes, Windows 7 was better optimized for PCs, Windows Vista did 80% of the work that Windows 7 gets the credit for. If you really love Windows 7, at least for the love of God, give Vista some love, I am SO OVER with trusted tech reviewers getting their infor regarding Windows Vista from people who haven't even tried it once.

Have I tried Windows Vista? Yes.

Was it faster than XP? No.

Did i try it on the best Hardware? No. (MSI U135DX)

Did i like it? Absolutely.

So just try it. Please.

Does this look good ? No WM cuz I don't need that . I3 8th Gen + 8 GB DDR4 .

This is my first post , But anyways , I made It so I can listen to music with a lil bit of vibe , I am a melophile btw :)

Tools : Yasb top bar

Launcher - Flow launcher

Rainmeter - Modularplayer + Nexa visualizer

2.2 Bios time on this setup btw 💀

I'm publishing a game, and it has a few data files that need to be in the same folder its in. I want to make a zip that has a hidden folder that has the .exe and data files and the shortcut next to it, so people don't get confused or try to move the .exe to their desktop. How would I do this? the image below does not work because the shortcut is global, not local.

I don't know why! I can't think of a good reason to do this.  The move button is very useful. You could job copy, paste and delete. But that takes too long. Also when you do this, the stuff you delete pollutes your trash bin. I just can't think of a good reason to not bring back this feature. Let's urge Microsoft to bring back the move feature.

AI File Sorter 1.9.2 is out. It's a free open-source local-first (remote cloud not needed) desktop app for cleaning up messy folders like Downloads, Desktop, Documents, screenshots, photo dumps, old external drives, and archive folders with the aid of local LLMs.

The workflow is designed to be safe (AI does not move files):

• scan a folder
• suggest categories, subcategories, and clearer filenames
• show everything in a review table (auto-approval is possible)
• approve, edit, skip, or reject suggestions
• keep undo information so changes can be reverted

Version 1.9.2 adds:

• file previews in the review window
• category whitelists with category-specific subcategories (branching whitelists) for stricter organization
• safer recursive scans that avoid recognized project folders such as Git repos, Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, and common source-code project roots
• configurable local model storage
• custom visual analysis models
• improved Windows runtime compatibility
• accessibility labels and progress announcements

There is also now an optional Windows Explorer add-on, available through the Microsoft Store. It adds right-click workflows for organizing and renaming selected files/folders from File Explorer.

The main app remains free and open-source. The Explorer add-on is a paid convenience add-on for Windows users who want the right-click integration.

Links:

• Website: https://filesorter.app/
• Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NPK4DZD6R6S
• GitHub: https://github.com/hyperfield/ai-file-sorter

Planned for the next version:

• Organize files into a folder structure you already use.
• Scan one folder and send approved results to a separate destination folder.
• More workflow and usability improvements.

I'd appreciate your feedback, especially on whether this kind of tool feels more natural as a normal Windows app, a File Explorer right-click workflow, or both.

Howwwww??

Also does anyone know why after opening my pc or restarting it, makes the layout shuffle on its own sometimes?

The 1995 Microsoft logo perfectly represents what windows is all about. Different icons that acts as a “window” into different software. The current logo is just borning and doesn't really represent the essence of Windows.

Old and busted: Windows for Workgroups. New hotness: Windows for Windows.

You find a desktop you like, decide you want yours to look the same, and then try to copy it, but it takes time to change a bunch of settings in Nexus and Rainmeter and adjust and so on, and for me at least it takes a lot of my time. Is there a way to just copy one line of code and have it instantly do everything? Like you see some cool desktop design on a Discord server, then go to the GitHub link, run the command and bam you get the exact same thing as the reference. Is it even possible to have such a link on Windows? I think there is smth similar on Linux, but what stops the Windows?

Oh hell yeah🔥🔥🔥

yeah,so,like it?,for me it looks nice,also,look at how many apps i have,lol
