Want to restore the start menu from Windows 10 in Windows 11 24H2?

Download ExplorerPatcher, rename the file to anything and run it to install it. Now get the StartUI.dll file from Windows 11 23H2, located in this directory:

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy

After getting the StartUI.dll file, put it into same directory path for in Windows 11 24H2. Open ExplorerPatcher Properties, you should
see an option to set the start menu as Windows 10. Enjoy!

Did you know that it's possible to uninstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC?

IMPORTANT PSA: If someone that you don't know says to login to that random Apple ID on your device, DO NOT SIGN IN TO THAT RANDOM APPLE ID ELSE THEY WILL VERY LIKELY PUT YOUR APPLE DEVICE INTO LOST MODE FOR RANSOM!

If you or someone you know has fallen to this, you might be able to get out of it as long you have the original purchase receipt for the Apple device from the retailer that you've originally purchased the Apple device from. If so, contact Apple ASAP at support.apple.com/contact

Can’t believe that Apple has finally put a much better OS on their new iPad Pro M4.

Microsoft is now pushing full screen advertisements of Windows 11 to Windows 10 PCs that don't meet Windows 11's system requirements.

Let's be real here, they all have their own flaws.

Uh Microsoft Edge, it's already pinned to the taskbar.

Apparently if Microsoft Edge has never been setup (never been opened), Windows Copilot will do nothing when clicked on except for that animation.

So HUGE discovery found in Windows 11 Version 24H2, since build 25905.
A CPU with the instruction "POPCNT" IS NOW REQUIRED!
There are various system files requiring the POPCNT CPU instruction, from the Windows 11 kernel to the USB XHCI drivers.

Without POPCNT, it doesn't boot!

@bobpony Is build 25398 the final build that can boot on a POPCNT-less machine?

@bobpony that instruction is part of SSE4.2. you know what else needs SSE4.2? 64-bit images for Waydroid.

yeah, i think this has its reasons somewhere deep up WSA's ass. tho making sure my old laptop (core 2 duo) does not boot currently supported Windows either is a good thing imo

Are you using Windows 10 20H1 or newer?
Do you miss that unofficial Aero Glass project by "Big Muscle"?
I have some good news to share with all of you that love Aero Glass! 🥰
There's a new project named "DWMBlurGlass", as the name suggests. It aims to bring the Aero Glass back to Windows 10 (Including Windows 11 too, but that's currently a bit limited as of this posting).

If you love Aero Glass, be sure to check out this project!

@bobpony Already have been using Firerfox for many years. It's the default browsers for many Linux systems (which I use because it gives me much more privacy and control over my data).

Currently running iOS 17 on iPhone 14 Pro Max, most of the time I forget that I am running iOS 17 until I hear that new notification sound.
It sounds a bit too quiet compared to the old one. 😒

Actually, WordPad got a MAJOR GROUND BREAKING CHANGE! 😱

Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (v1607), the placement for the highlight color and text color button in the ribbon bar have been swapped! 🔄

Windows 10 Build 14366 is the first known build to have this new change.
