  1. Phone Make Phone Calls in Phone Link app on Windows 11 PC

    Struggling with calls. Everything in the Phone Link App works fine - Messages, Photos, Apps - but not Calls. Android phone is paired and connected to PC but I receive this seemingly contradictory error message:- Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
  2. Installation and Upgrade Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade

    Thanks for all of your replies. Clearly I do not want the English (United States) version here in the UK, but given that the only remaining option is English International, I still don't know how to end up with English (United Kingdom) which is what I curently have. Can anybody help to clarify...
  3. Installation and Upgrade Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade

    I am attempting to download Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft. My current language stated in "Time and language" is English (United Kingdom). In order to download I must select a language. The only English options are English (United States) and English International. So do I choose English...
  4. General Add and Remove Favorites in File Explorer Home in Windows 11

    Hi, What file types may one add to the new favourites list? It does not seem possible to add a shorcut. Even though the shortcut in question shows "Add to Favourites" in the context menu when I right click on it, it never appears under Favourites.

    Thank you so much Brink. That cured my problem instantly.
  6. General Add and Remove Favorites in File Explorer Home in Windows 11

    In Windows 11 22H2 File Explorer under "Home" I used to see headings "Quick Access" and "Favourites" with my various items listed under those headings. The same as shown in your screenshots above. Now the two lists seem to have been merged into one large list with no headings as in my screenshot...
  7. Network profile type

    I have two PCs on a private network for sharing files etc. This works most of the time but occasionally, on one PC only, the "Network profile type" dialogue in settings app disappears and sharing is then not functional. IP address of both PCs are static. If I select "Edit" next to IP...
  8. General Open Item with Single-click or Double-click in Windows 11

    Is there any way to change to Taskbar behaviour so that double-click opens an application from there? I find it a severe irritation that double-click seems to work everywhere but the Taskbar! I am forever double-clicking items on the Taskbar and opening two instances of some applications.
  9. File Explorer Search Box not returning any results

    Problem solved. Acting upon the advice received, assigning a drive letter beyond C was the cure. I had thought that by now, A and B drives would work just like others but I was clearly incorrect in this assumption.
  10. File Explorer Search Box not returning any results

    Thanks for the information provided, especially about using A and B for drive volumes, but now I will throw a spanner in the works! My other PC (well my wife's actually) is set up exactly the same using Drive A for the pictures folder. Searching the pictures folder on that PC works without a...
  11. File Explorer Search Box not returning any results

    Unfortunately that's exactly what doesn't work! Curiously, searchng the network share does work even though that is in effect looking at the exact same files.
  12. File Explorer Search Box not returning any results

    Using Windows 11 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.708) I have my user folder "Pictures" moved to separate SDD (A:/Pictures) as 350,000 pictures will occupy a lot of space on my C drive. Whatever I search for using File Explorer Search Box, no results are returned. Even searching for *.* returns...
