Stores your device i.d. and its accessible to any business user via the ms API. People are wondering "how did they get my device i.d.?!" Its in the TPM.
Something I've noticed for a while now with my system that's odd... in order for my system to be able to access the internet,
I have to restart the machine once again, then it will connect just fine. Strange.
I used to be able to select restart adapter, which worked every time, though that hardly ever works now. Weird...
I'm assuming it's something at BT's end?

So I've just updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on one PC (sorta testing the water). What tweaks and such do people do to make it useable and less annoying?
A friend recommended "Winaero Tweaker", is that generally considered a good starting option?

The things I always do straight off: "Start Menu back on the left, disabled using Print screen key to open screen capture (accessibility settings), restored right click context menus, restored Image Preview on the context menu for images (though it doesn't work in 11 as well as 10)".

How do you do that? Is there a reg tweak for that? I don't particularly want to be installing programs to adjust W11 but would love the proper right-click context menus back!
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

Just dropped as a preview
Just making sure no matter what you click it opens copilot or 365.They are taking their time rolling it out (the new start menu), hopefully that means they are taking the time to do it rightrather than having problems with it.
Or full screen OneDrive setup - even if you already have it set up.

Holy crap I was just about to rage post about my Win11 install doing just that again the other evening...
I am staying on 23H2 for as long as possible
Blocked it from updating. Happy with just security updates for now.
