I have been doing sleep studies on some laptops and noticed that, on x86-powered laptops, they generally go into hibernation mode after 5 hours of sleep. On the new Snapdragon X Elite laptops, they don't go into hibernation ever. What I don't see is any way to configure or view this setting, not...

So, over the past few months, I've tried several times to update to 26090 or 26080 from 23620.1000 but it fails every time. I know this is a known issue, but has anyone figured out a workaround other than doing a clean install and starting from scratch? I'm using a ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Core...

Do we know yet what the keycode will be (for use in remapping apps such as SharpKey)?

I was wondering if anyone knew anything more about the Copilot key. Is it going to use the same keycode as the menu key it's replacing or a new keycode? Also, is there yet a way to enable the copilot key (assuming you mapped it to the menu key) in any of the insider builds?

Is there something you needed to do to update your Microsoft Store? I'm on build 22000.282. is that the right one?

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? I have the right build, but don't see any Android apps in the store app.

I updated to build 160 and my clock app has not changed. Is there anything I need to do to get it?

I mean to try Start11, but the interesting thing is that your can get a lot of the same functionality from OpenShell which is free.

I tried doing this: But when I rebooted, I got a black background with no taskbar, Start menu, etc. I'm on 22000.71. Anyone tried with that?

Does this work if you don't install a third-party Start menu? When I click the Start button it shows by default, nothing happens. This only works if I install a program like Start10 or Open-Shell that puts its own button over default one.

But in my testing, this also brings back the old taskbar, which has some issues in that it has a search box that does nothing when you click on it, and a Taskview button that crashes when I click it.

So Start10 apparently works if: A.) You enable the old taskbar with a registry tweak or WinAero B.) You don't use the "Windows 10 Style" design -- "Windows 7 style" and "Modern style" both work.

So now that Microsoft has killed the classic mode option, I am trying some third-party alternatives. Start10 doesn't work for me (it sometimes (but not always) shows a start button in the lower left, but clicking on it does nothing). I see that on Stardock's forums one person reported getting it...

I see that the the Start_ShowClassicMode key has stopped working as of the latest build. Is there a workaround?

Thanks for the tip. I'd really like to have it in the taskbar and, also, when I click on that search box, it just opens the larger window. In other words, you can't actually type into that search box AFAIK.
