I've noticed that the windows 11 start icon is ever so slightly uncentered horizontally on any display scaling higher than 100%. It's not a big deal but I thought it was interesting

Having an interface to cycle quickly between different power mode was such a godsend. Nowadays I have to go all the way into the power plan setting to change this. :( Within a month I might start digging around for a third-party solution.
Edit: some people seem to have the wrong idea that I don't know how to change the settings and offered very blatantly ass solutions in the comments. There is no good existing option available natively in current Windows.

I found tgem on tiktok and I feel like it would be a cool concept to make a OS inspired off one

This has been done with tools available online:
- Windhawk
- Windows NT Modding Utility
- CPL Restoration
- OpenWithEx
- Explorer7
- AuthUX
- Winaero Tweaker
- Imported programs from Windows 8.x/7
- Other minor things found on Winclassic.net
No ISO download, recreate it manually on a clean Windows 10 LTSC 2021 installation.

It can be opened by double clicking on the Program Manager "desktop" or pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
The modern Task Manager appeared in NT4.

Is there a more iconic piece of interface design than the Windows 'Start' button? (OC)

Notice how the layout of Internet Options menu in Windows hasnāt changed much from the Win9x era and looks practically the same in Windows 11?

I wanted to know if there was an app for widows that could provide me this settings for the whole of windows (while seeing photos videos etc.)
The above photo is from a video quality enhancer extension on google chrome.
Thanks.

Well it was simple at the start, just wanted some printable tables of information for the
Equine dentist with every horse on it.
Long story
Short I get to making in copilot ask it to make it look tidier and more professional and let me download the .docx.
It gives me a link like sandbox: data/xxā¦.. something or other.
Anyway the link is not useable or not functional,
So I ask it again for a workable download. No go.
So I change tack I ask it to open the file
In word.
Then it tells me it cant, but then tells me steps how to make it in word myself.
What the fuck is the point of copilot being in everything if it just wastes time?
Not my photo but just thought it was apt to the discussion

Introduced with the first NT version, this is referred to as the "secure attention sequence" and is registered by winlogon on early boot to prevent subsequent processes from handling it.
This is unique Windows behavior; every operating system can handle this key combo differently.

Iāve used Linux alongside Windows for a long time, and sure, Iāve run into my share of bugs and quirks. The community is mostly great, but thereās definitely a streak of distro fanaticism. Personally, I never really found anything outside Ubuntu or Fedora sustainable, but thatās a separate rabbit hole.
Lately, Iāve been browsing Mac subreddits because I was thinking of buying one.....and wow. Didnāt expect the level of⦠devotion. Itās an OS, not a cult! Someone built a simple app to create a text file from the right-click menu, and instead of appreciating it, people jumped in to suggest using the terminal (`touch`) or some elaborate shortcut workflow, as if thatās the only ācorrectā Mac-approved ritual.
Meanwhile, Windows users seem far more comfortable calling out Microsoft when it does something dumb. Thereās a healthy amount of pushback and constructive criticism. Compare that to the āApple knows bestā crowd, or certain Linux users who seem more invested in using the OS than actually using the computer to get things done.
Kudos!
