    There's also this variant: Local users on domain-joined computers: If you want Windows 11 to show all users on the login screen, you need to configure Enumerate local users on domain-joined computers policy. So, open Group Policy Editor and then navigate to Computer Configuration >...
  3. Enable or Disable Password Expiration for Local Accounts in Windows 11

    As in this post on sister site tenforums: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/87379-enable-disable-password-expiration-local-accounts-windows-10-a.html I can confirm that on Windows 11 Home (The "Home" version of 10/11 doesn't have lusrmgr.msc aka local user manager aka Local Users and Groups)...
  4. Backup and Restore Turn On or Off System Protection for Drives in Windows 11

    I just tried this now, and sysdm.cpl,,4 aka the "System Protection" tab of "System Properties" (aka "Advanced System Settings") did say it was on, but clicking "Configure" revealed that the "Disk Space Usage" was set to 0 (zero).
  5. netcpl.cpl is missing in w11; it was a quick way to start "network and sharing center" control panel from command line on W10,8,7,XP

    Searching the Windows 11 start menu for "Network and Sharing Center" produces no hits/matches unlike Windows 10. The "View network computers and devices" that shows up as "Best match" is the list of devices on your network, not the control panel settings page. It is labeled in the right pane...

  7. netcpl.cpl is missing in w11; it was a quick way to start "network and sharing center" control panel from command line on W10,8,7,XP

I checked 2x w10 and 1x w7 just now and did not find netcpl.cpl. But it's listed here: How to run Control Panel tools by...
  8. W11 It is not possible to drag icons to the taskbar

    Here's a GIF demonstrating the problem for File Explorer app pin. Note that instead of drag-and-drop, you can right click on the folder and "Pin to quick access" which also pin's to the File Explorer icon in the taskbar.
  9. netcpl.cpl is missing in w11; it was a quick way to start "network and sharing center" control panel from command line on W10,8,7,XP

    In Windows 11 searching for netcpl.cpl in start menu does not find anything: Indeed, searching the whole file system the file is not found. It was there on windows 10 in c:\windows\system32\. This is useful for getting to "Network and Sharing Center" quickly. In fact, searching the start...
