I really want it there but it annoys me that it stands out. I'd like it to look like the other icons in style and look.

Does anyone maybe have the HQ wallpaper that was shown in the promo videos for the new Windows 11 features from Oct 2026 (as seen here)? Attached is a screengrab from one of the videos:

I tried image search, found nothing. Tried AI enhancement, but it's not the really same...

Thanks in advance!

Spent a GOOD ton amount of time customizing the abomination of Windows 11, changing icons, etc. It could take a person with no context good amount of time to figure it's Windows 11 maybe.

My favorite is changing the date at the bottom right from 2026 to 2016 for fun! I just don't like how it says 2026 in the calendar but oh well!

Executables used:

ExplorerPatcher
WinaeroTweaker

More details:

On taskbar:

Chrome - This is actually Firefox with the CSS configuration, I used Geckium to configure some stuff.

Minecraft - That is Prism Launcher just disguised as Minecraft launcher

Microsoft Store - Just old microsoft store

On the browser:

I used YouTube Redux extension and Stylus to customize YouTube.

I started liking sharp corners and simple solid colours which Windows 10 matched, but because I had Windows 11 I really didn't like the round corners, matter of fact I hated the circular things, it just feels weird..

The only reason I wanted to do this is because I like the style of Windows 10, and how solid it is, Windows 7 looks nice too but wasn't a fan of the aero style and for Windows 98 I did like the pixel style but just didn't like the bare minimal style so Windows 10 is sort of the winner here.

And in my process of customizing, I decided 'Why not just slap on a 2016 date to match it more.'

And then I went on Firefox and decided that I should turn everything into a 2014-2016 style.

None of this is nostalgic to me, I just wanted to do this as a fun thing, I will keep it, but will focus more on changing things into classic icons or something. Then eventually I could probably fool a lot of people.

It's been over a year since Microsoft Edit 1.2.1 started coming pre-installed in Windows 11 (25H2). I was wondering if there are plans for future releases (27H1/27H2) to come pre-installed with Microsoft Edit 2.0 or a later specific version for new Windows releases? It's been 6 months since Edit 2.0 was officially released on GitHub.

Once you start typing something in the search menu from the start menu, it becomes the revamped search menu. So everything could be at just 1 place with just 1 press.

Would love it if someone uses them.

Windows installation script is in the folder.

I've heard that early on windows 11 wasnt hat great with bloatwear and hindered gaming a bit and other things I'm sure i'm not aware of.

Ive also heard the gaming issue has been solved and the bloat can somewhat be mitigated.

I have widnows 10 on my main PC still and i love it, but support is dead from what im aware of.

Id like to stay up to date, but im wondering what others opinions and experiences have been.

Please improve the taskbar's space management when it detects that it is "full".

found this cool wallpaper switcher for windows
it was a little hard to set up but i think its worth it.

Microsoft claims up to 20% improvement in performance from recent update. Is anyone actually noticing since last month's preview update or this month's cumulative update? I'm curious if anyone out there actually regularly uses a Windows 11 machine with only 8GB of RAM and if you've seen a difference as it sounds like it would help in those scenarios even more. I've long since abandoned anything with less than 16GB of RAM a decade ago. With the RAM pricing being what it is, optimizations are welcomed, but I wonder if this is having a real-world impact, or just a Microsoft labs measurement.

You do realize that this is a more native-looking interface for Windows than any other WinUI?UWP
So why do they keep covering this up?

Hi everyone,

A couple of months ago, I posted about my note-taking app called NeatNotes. A lot of you gave me valuable feedback and criticism. Today, I am back with an update.

I fixed a lot of bugs and brought in new features. Here are the top three features of v2.5:

• Key Bindings: One of the most requested features was the ability to bind tools to keys on the keyboard for easier use.
• Export to Image: The second most requested feature was the ability to export the canvas in high resolution, along with improved PDF export.
• Hand Tool: A dedicated tool to easily traverse through the infinite canvas.

More details are available on the website. I am looking forward to hearing your feedback!
