Windows 11

When they talked re Teams and Discord, I thought of a meme. Windows will just be Edge in 100 years. All the apps will be web apps. Someone may have made that meme already.

Thankfully Windows didn't force Onedrive on me. I've preferred saving files locally. For my cloud files, I've mainly used Dropbox and Google drive.

I hope Windows will focus on user experience.

Ok, so maybe a weird question: I've got two windows PCs on the same network. One of them is, when not in use, almost always in sleep mode. The other PC is only turned on every now and then.

I've narrowed down the issue to the fact that when this second PC is started, the first PC seems to always wake up from sleep. I've not enabled any wake on LAN features on either computer, and as such I'm a bit lost on where to go next. Any ideas?

If I remove Edge, Will there be any consequences?

Flashback:

I removed edge and onedrive using Chris Titus Tech's Winutils. In the tool itself they mentioned that removing edge is not recommended. But I did it anyway.

Now for some reason, my library folders (music, videos, etc) reset to their original location. ( I changed it to a custom location).

All I have to do is change it back to custom location. ( No data loss happened).

But what I want to know is that, Are there anymore consequences that I am not aware of?

The "All Apps" menu in Start may soon get a couple of new layout options.

We know that Windows 11 supports SBC and AAC. Is there a way to get LHDC on Windows?

I am trying to stay open-minded here.

As it is, I don’t see a usage that justify install a privacy nightmare on the system level, an app, or even a browser extension.

The only time I have been using any AI stuff lately is when Brave_Search/Copilot_on_Bing do a quick summary of the search results, and give me the link to the website. It don’t need to constantly see what I am doing for that.

Microsoft's secret CADMUS project will finally be unveiled on Monday as the company outlines its vision for the future of Windows PCs, with Arm at the forefront.

I have an active Windows 10 key on my system with Windows 10 installed and I keep getting prompt on startup to upgrade to Windows 11.

I have ignored these upgrades since I am not sure if I decided to upgrade to Windows 11, will my Windows 10 key no longer work for Windows 10 installation and only work for Windows 11 installations going forward once I upgrade?
