    How can I revert the changes I did to Edge and snipping tool? I mean something prevents it from reinstalling. On the other hand, I can't save the screeshot I took with WIN + Shift+ S. Thank you!

    I've successfully upgraded to W11 using FiXKit on a Dell Latitude 5179 2 in 1 tablet I use it exclusively as a tablet However, windows is not recognizing it as a tablet Since MS deprecated user defined tablet mode in W11, I'm trying to find the relevant registry settings to manually enforce tablet mode. Or maybe there is a totally better solution...

    Two potential registry settings:
    1) HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell Key: TabletMode Currntly 0:"off" changing to 1"on" doesn't persist through reboot
    2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\PriorityControl Key: Convertibleslatemode Currently 0 I believe this has to do with the device form and W11 supposed ability to recognize the device form and adjust tablet mode automatically based on whether a keyboard is attached Info comes from
    /docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/continuum

    The GPIO Laptop or Slate Indicator Driver is present

    Any experience with this issue or insights on how to remedy?

    So, seems that after poking around with some of those and other registry settings, std windows settings and a reinstalled Intel sensor driver I got most all the functionality returned. Don't really know what specifically did the trick, but happy. Thanks

    I use StartAllBack to regain this functionality so i can use NetSpeedMonitor in the taskbar. It's got lots of other features too, but I don't use them. It cost a couple of quid, but I really missed having NSM running and being able to drag files onto apps in the taskbar too, so well worth it (for me at least) for those alone!

    I use an app called ThisIsWin11 and I like it. It includes a lot of tweaks, the ability to download more, the ability to disable things like privacy things, and ability to remove things like built-in apps. It's open source and on GitHub.

    Already listed in main post index but good to have it mentioned again, it's probably advanced several versions by now.

    Does anyone know how to disable Bluetooth discoverability or Bluetooth itself via the registry? I have a .reg which I use to apply all my modifications each installation but I have yet to find any registry entries for either of those two. I know it can be done manually I am asking for the sake of connivence, thanks!
