Technically, a master skinner could create a skin that is specific to Windows 11 using this method and create something that works perfectly well. There are certain features they probably can't use. But as an artist it is always their job to use the tools that are available to them. The same goes for these skins once Windowblinds 11 hits. All the skins available are still going to need new touches done to even be 100 percent compatible as any skins done for Windows 10 specifically wil

[quote who="naroon1" reply="126" id="3834269"] I think those official requirements will change as it was one of the worst "set of things" needed for an OS ever [/quote] I agree. The TPM Chip should be the ONLY requirement for Windows 11. There is no question, Windows 11 requirements will go down as a fumble when we talk about the OS years from now.

The TPM chip really caught a lot of people by surprise. Anyone that builds their own PC probably did not have installing a TPM chip in their plans and if you bought a PC it is really a game of luck if you already have this chip installed. TPM 2.0 may have a little impact with security short term, but I really question the idea that it was needed as a requirement for PC security overall. At the end of the day protecting your PC really comes down to the same practices it always has. i.e

To me it feels like all suggestions get considered. I think that has been part of the road map with Start 11. Of course not all suggestions will be integrated but it does feel like at the very least the suggestion will be talked about if it makes sense for the final product. Anyone that see's an issue with Start 11 while it is still in development probably should speak up because it probably will be considered.

The biggest benefit between KVM vs Pro for a home user is going to be the direct access your main PC has with your 3 laptops. It can control the 3 laptops from your main computer without having to get up which is cool. Other then that pro mostly offers better security for an office setting. So KVM will likely be all that you need, it depends on if you want that one extra feature and if it fits well into your budget. Disclaimer: This is just a general comparison, with some of your comp

kona - Have you posted a request in the MS forums about the folders icons. I do know that they removed them as part of the process of making Windows 11 faster then 10. In the forums I havent really seen that request. The big 3 in Microsofts own f

[quote who="naroon1" reply="115" id="3834125"] Have to agree with Jafo on this one, MS has shot themselves in the foot with it's Win 11 requirements, but as in all things, MS acts and others react. For a while now there has been a Registry patch doing the rounds on the net allowing PCs without TPM Modules etc to use Win 11, but this kind of thing is not for all users and will possibly create issues later on when the encryption for passwords etc comes into it's own.

Sto3IV - With these DEV builds you may want to start making sure you have a roll back point saved before you install any new updates. It seem's like MS is getting a little more experimental with their stuff, so there may be a few more instances where things stop working. I have seen a lot of apps, not just in start 11.

Fence integration is brand new, and I like that feature myself. I do like the thinking of having it integrated further and new ideas are always welcomed here I am not sure if the roll up feature would mesh well with the start 11 set up. While it could be argued that the tabbed pages can each hold a separate fence and that could fix it. Perhaps others that really like the tabbed look the roll up provides and want a more similar look. An idea I would have that goes with the start 11 des

Most apps previously were designed to work with Windows 10. But on the flip side most apps that are coming out in the future are designed for windows 11. It will be a busy year for new stuff on Windows 11. Once Groupy 2 and Windowblinds 11 hit then you will see the worth.

I have only experienced a very mild issue. Any icons that have been changed (via the custom tile/icon feature) that are no longer saved on the computer disappear once updated. I will chalk it up to partially my fault for not leaving the icons saved in a folder.. Otherwise, no new issues even on the newly released Windows 11 update version 22000.466

I have used exploerpatcher to achieve this. But, it is nice to know there is a more direct approach as well. It seems that the issue with windowblinds 10 is the command bar. I do wonder how this more direct approach compares. In explorerpatcher there are a few things such as transparency that are an issue in Windows 11. In any case you can always get good advise in toms harware, it is a pretty good site.
