    Adding custom shortcuts to the Win menu + X Quick Link in Windows 11 is not working in build 22621. Could you confirm?

    w11 is a dream so far, much snappier than w10. The only issue im having is the inability to access the Settings app. (I need that to change product keys, etc) @Dark Dinosaur any ideas on how to re-activate settings(and only that)?

    Have you uninstalled some dependency like VClibs?

    try searching wsreset in start menu and right click and run as administrator. That might fix your settings app issue.

    ** hope this "tip" is ok to post here <dont want to be <flamed by Enthousiast>
    I saw on one of the posts ; not sure on win11 forms, somewhere; but couldn't find it now.....***


    I downloaded "esd" files of 22H2 to upgrade couple of my laptops to 22H2 (Enterprise 22621+ builds) and saw some more "weird stuff....
    Yes thanks to everyone here

    a) iso files to "burn to USB" via the Windows Explorer = not working correctly ((not the fault of anything to do with esd files NOR esd-iso Tools))

    >> If the option is missing, it could be because of some app being set as the default app for .iso images.
    Go into settings > apps > default apps > in search box type .iso and set OPEN to with = Windows Explorer
    In my case, 7zip had claimed ".iso" images. After setting the default app to windows explorer and closing and reopening windows explorer, the mount and burn disc image options started appearing for me.

    b) After reboot of 22H2 install finished - I noticed in Windows Explorer - some of my Defaults Settings = Changed !!!
    eg; in stand folder DOWNLOAD = now sort option is no long "NONE"

    I need help with this . I changed it to sort = NONE. than close the app(windows explorer) and reboot, than reopen , and go back to that silly way again

    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    this is a sign of love, don't take in in wrong way.
    first time I heard of this option,
    going to install w11 just for that.

    Being flamed is someone attacking you by screeming at you in caps, not someone trying to help others by investing a lot of time and energy.

    That was not the option mentioned by @MDeaks, burn to usb is something by @BAU/@AveYo iirc.
