    Hello

    When I disconnect a USB key for example, I have the notification in Focus Assist / Action Center (The 1 next to the hour)

    There is a tweak or a solution to completely disable this (and no longer have this notification, the number) ?
    I tried by disabling Focus Assist and Action Center, but nothing helps

    Thanks

    PS: no worries under Windows 10

    If you are using winget, then it is easy to just clean up extra stuff you don't need/want that comes pre-installed. This is mine:

    Code:
    @echo off
    
    set CLEANUP=^
    Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.ZuneVideo_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.BingNews_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.OneDrive ^
    Microsoft.OneDriveSync_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    MicrosoftTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.Todos_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.Getstarted_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    Microsoft.GetHelp_8wekyb3d8bbwe ^
    MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_cw5n1h2txyewy ^
    Microsoft.People_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    
    rem ---- Cleanup Windows 11 Stuff
    echo.
    echo Uninstall Windows 11 Stuff
    for %%f in (%CLEANUP%) do (
        echo -- Uninstall %%f
        winget Uninstall --id %%f -e
    )
    
    Save as a batch file and run as admin. Can re-run it at any time if/when it gets re-added via some other MS update..

    EDIT: Sorry, should have said what is what.. Most of them above are self explanatory, but FYI:
    * ZuneVideo = Films and TV
    * ZuneMusic = Groove Music
    * BingNews = News
    * OfficeHub = Advertisement to install Office
    * Client.WebExperience = Widgets Thing

    Hi, I'm not sure if it was already discussed, but I did not find it.
    The lines in File Explorer (for example in Details view) are to far from each other, like in tablet mode.
    But tablet mode seem to be removed and I didn't find a way how to set this to be more suitable for desktop/mouse use.
    Is it possible to lower the space between lines so more files/directories fit in one window?
    I am on 22000.
