This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Apps for Websites for your account or all users in Windows 11.
Apps for Websites is a feature that uses web-to-app linking to associates an app with a website so that when someone opens a link to a website, the app is launched instead of opening the browser. If the app is not installed, the website opens in the browser as usual.
Users can turn off apps for websites, preventing websites that are registered with their associated app from directly launching the app instead of opening in the browser.
You can also disable web-to-app linking to disable Apps for Websites for all users on the computer.

This tutorial will show you how to create a live kernel dump file in Windows 11.

The goal of kernel live dump is to gather data to trouble shoot an abnormal situation, but allow the OS to continue operation. This reduces downtime when compared to a bug check for “non-fatal” but high-impact failures and hangs. Kernel live dumps are used when it is possible to recover the OS to a known good state.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22621.1928, Microsoft added a set of new developer-focused features in Task Manager to aid the collection of live kernel memory dumps (LKDs). This is in addition to the existing...
