*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

Not sure which snipping tool you referring to but it might still be on your PC if it is the one I am thinking of. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and then scroll way way down the list and see if you have SnippingTool.exe there ?

It seems to have gone, the blank icon is still in the task bar after update, a search of system 32 returns nothing.

Added the chat icon to taskbar, only difference i noticed

I have had chat on this machine for about 2 weeks now, but on checking my other machine that didn't get it now has it on the task bar in this new update.

Still got built in snip on mine, its changed though.

I upgraded from windows 10 with the old version of snip installed, so that might be why my old version has been replaced.
I didn't like the newer version which is all driven by the fact that you have to learn what all the new symbols mean. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh drives me nuts!

When are they officially releasing Windows 11 to upgrade for existing Windows 10 users?

Oh cool okay, I do actually like Windows 11 although still hate the fact it will still contain a ton of telemetry etc.
I hope they don't get rid of snip tool I actually use that quite a bit

Build 160 is out, can also get ISO's now.

There is a new snip. I use it daily

Would you say it's stable enough to be a daily now?, what about games anti cheats do they kick up a fuss because it's not an official released os yet?

Oh good!!!

On my AMD machine I got an update for 3DPaint and Your Phone, and on the Intel machine I got an Xbox Game Bar update.
Very random stuff, plus Microsoft finally gave me the Later Display Driver 27.20.21020.4003 WUP!

Until its official never use this OS for daily.

Yup, infuriates me too. I use this blocklist with AdGuard Home currently, expect it'll be updated for Windows 11 too:

App-based version available too:

Maybe the fact you can't sort stuff in the start menu is to make people change their habit? I'm filling the taskbar up with most things I use and getting used to it that way, it's a bit like Mac OSX I think? I've put all system related standard stuff to the left and other apps to the right. I like the little notch to indicate an app is open.

Just for info in case anyone was interested, specs in signature, I downloaded the new public beta iso, tried a win 10 in place upgrade and it said cpu no compatible, rebooted using usb install and upgrade failed to start again, I had a spare hdd in my machine so tried a new install and it installed and activated fine. Only been using for a couple of days but apart from the interface change no particular speed or improvements noticeable yet.

Seems to going OK haven't heard of to much problems only software for temp s..

One issue is icue won't sync my case RGB, so may as well uninstall, what's the point if that's not working . But other than that no issues runs just as well as win 10, as seems to be mostly a new skin or nothing I have noticed anyway.

RGB software does not work for me, also some hardware stats software dont work cpuz/gpuz. They may need updates to function correctly.

Does win 11 still have the ridiculous amount of Arabic and Asian fonts that people like me have no need for but windows likes to clutter up my font lists with ?

That should be fixed in the final, I think that is for other regions

Not sure where that date is from, but I hope not. So many little niggles and inconsistencies that even with another year of work I don't think it would be "finished"
