You can always customize Windows 11 to look more familiar, so as as more like Windows 10 or even 7. See the Personalization threads.

For working or gaming they must be perfect, but I would not like seeing black bars on the screen when watching a movie and stretching it to 21:9 would be too wide. Pass, I prefer a standard 16:9 or 16:10 monitor.

I still use my Sony 19" TV monitor from 2010. It was a "temporary" monitor when my old 19" CRT broke, but "nothing is more permanent that the so called temporary", as we say in Greek. It is a 1440x900 at 60Hz with VGA, Composite Video (AV), Component Video (YCbCr) and HDMI inputs. Not Full HD...

A good price for one may be too expensive for the other. Also he should look for specs and other factors, not only the price.

OK for movies and games where you sit at a relatively long distance, but working on such large monitor could make your neck hurt. Anything at least 1080p should not show pixelation unless you watch it from the same distance you would work on your office monitor. I have a 1080p video projector...

I just hope it will be easy to find this hack next time I do a clean installation. Please @Brink include it in your Tutorials for easy reference. PS: I copy-pasted it in a Text file, just in case. But do include it in the Tutorials to help other readers.

The equivalent Greek expression is "you catch more with sugar than with vinegar", meaning being nice gets you better results than force and violence. Yes, not everyone reading this forum is technically savvy, so we can excuse some errors when someone tries to describe his issue. As a Computer...

I have a dual-monitor setup with the second monitor extending the desktop (not mirroring the first). I like to play old games and I discovered an annoying bug when I switch the game on the first monitor to full-screen. Since the games are old, they typically use a low resolution of 640x480 or...

So , you create any file, .jpg, .doc, .pdf in one computer, you copy that to a USB flash drive, go to the other computer and cannot open it? Please post a screenshot with the error for more investigation. Also if both computers are connected to the same network, you can set both networks to...

I told you so guys! The Intel drivers were all it was needed. Been there done that. Please click to mark the thread solved.

The similar thread I mentioned had exactly the same issue. Some images from his smartphone would not open by Microsoft Photos app, but they did open by another app on the same computer. So the files were fine, Photos has the issue. In the other thread someone suggested that a recent Windows...

As I already explained, only a few high end or gaming models will have proprietary (customized) graphics cards by HP or Dell and need their own custom drivers. All the rest have the stock unmodified graphics chipset and will work with the official Intel/nVidia/AMD mobile graphics drivers. So I...

The only difference a special program would make is to add some metadata to the image. The base image format (without these metadata) should be the same and any application that can read .jpg files should be able to open it.

It's rather late and I should already be in bed, so no time to read the other thread right now. However from my own experience as a Computer Technician I have not seen too many laptops that the official Intel/nVidia/AMD driver won't install or that they miss any features with this driver. Only a...

The error might be due to the inability of Photos to properly decipher the metadata before opening the image. These metadata are useless unless you want to edit the image and improve it. Photoshop, for example, can read these data and optimise the image. A simple image viewer can safely ignore...
