Windows 11 Tweaks, Fixes and Modifications [Overview]

LOL, this if what I'm here for

 

doesn't work

 

It's not {HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ but {HKEY_CURRENT_USER\

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

 

You have to wonder why they ask for feedback if theyre going to ignore it, and now that people are turning the new taskbar and explorer off (to get rid of the context menu), whats the point of feedback at all because people will have it disabled for the next update they put out and wont notice any changes

Microsoft...it was better when Bill ran it, and not millennials obsessed with tarting up to make the gui to look pretty

 

Defender Automatic Sample Submission fix (Temporary fix till Microsoft fixes this in future update)

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Spynet]
"SubmitSamplesConsent"=dword:00000001

 

sure?
It's working fine on my PC.

 

I guessed it, but for .jpg and .png extensions there is no change menu. For most other extensions like .tif etc, there is,

 

Interesting, I can do that just fine on my test VM.

Does not work after a restart

 

Damn, didn't check that - thanks. What's more after a reboot you're stuck with the "Always show all icons" checked and can't uncheck it.

To uncheck it and enable it again run RegEdit and navigate to:

Code:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Set EnableAutoTray to 1 and restart Explorer. "Always show all icons" will be unchecked, you can set it again but what's the point if it doesn't survive a reboot!?

 

EnableAutoTray no longer exists after a clean installation. It is probably no longer supported

 

Thank you, updated main post above. No use if it doesn't survive a reboot.

Just been reading that the setting can be made to stick by clearing another two registry entries relating to the notification area icon settings - but it doesn't work, it fixes corrupted or ghost icons in the notification area, nothing to do with showing them all.

Very strange indeed. Yesterday got the message "Windows is adding some features etc.", and when I switched my Laptop on this morning it works now. It lives, lol.

 

Maybe we could have a script that runs at startup - every startup. Kludgy, yes, but might be a viable workaround.

 

Who knows how to turn on the seconds on the clock? The method that was used before does not work.

 

Still works using explorer from serv 2022

 

I need a method using the registry
