Again, I'm on a different computer so I'm getting pop ups harassing me to fill out a survey. I'm sick and tired of this harassment and nagware. If I wanted to share my feedback, I'd do so willingly, not because I got an intrusive pop up. This behavior is beyond unprofessional. How do I stop these notifications on Windows and all Microsoft products from appearing?! They all say they same thing, "we'd love your feedback. Answer two questions". Everyone I know hates these things and gives the same feedback every time, which is "Stop the **bleep** harassment!" How do I permanently kill these survey pop ups so I never ever ever ever ever ever get one again?!18Views1like0CommentsHow can I separate files from same app on Taskbar in Windows 11?
I have four separate Excel files open. When I was still using Windows 10, I was able to move each one independently of the others to different areas on my taskbar... I used Taskbar Tweaker for years to do this. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 11, I cannot get them to ungroup so I can move them independently because Taskbar Tweaker won't work with Windows 11 and does not have an update to fix it. 😒 Does anyone have any good substitutions for Taskbar Tweaker? Or have a trick to make the taskbar separate the files directly in Windows 11? BTW - I've already tried setting the grouping setting in the taskbar settings... that didn't work either. All of my Excel files are still stuck together on my taskbar. (I have video that demonstrates exactly what the problem is and what I've tried, but it seems I cannot upload it here.)124Views0likes7CommentsFeedback on Windows 11
I've been a Windows customer since the beginning. I was doing computing back on the TSR-80, when we still saved information on audio tape. However, with the changes in the last few versions of Windows; I feel I can on longer use a Windows product. I've been using a Windows 11 system for several months now, and I've hated every time I had to use it. With the increase in non-optional "optional" and non-removable features; I've decided that it's time to move onto a Linux based system. Sincerely, a former Microsoft customer.10KViews2likes32CommentsLots of issues...

Hey there, I'm curios did anyone knows some application that I could run and maintain here different tiled apps shortcuts / folders and files like typical windows desktop but inside the app? And which maybe will have some separation (or tabs) splitted by apps types? Maybe something vaguely reminiscent of Heimdall but non-web based? Kind of handy apps launcher..15Views0likes0CommentsHow to password protect rar file on windows 11?
Normally, I don't use the password protect for creating new .rar files. But at this time, I need to password protect rar because there are private and important data sheets to be sent to my client. My questions: Could someone explain the exact steps to add a password during RAR creation? Is AES-256 encryption enabled by default, or do I need to adjust settings? Are there free tools to password protect RAR files? I want to ensure my files are securely encrypted and that I don't miss any critical steps. If screenshots or examples would help clarify, please share!38Views0likes7Comments- 6Views0likes0Comments
Best duplicate file checker for quickly finding duplicates on Windows or Mac?
Hi everyone, My wife has an old laptop running Windows 11 at work and Ma Mani at home. She has been struggling with cluttered storage on the computer due to years of accumulating files. As you can see this is a common issue for old computers. And she asked me to help her out. I suspect there are tons of duplicate photos, documents, and downloads hogging space, but manually sorting through them feels overwhelming. I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable duplicate file checker that can help me clean things up efficiently on Windows and Mac. Best Regards, Brown52Views0likes8CommentsIs it safe to buy Windows 11 Pro for $13 from Noxkeys ?
I recently came across a site called Noxkeys selling Windows 11 Pro Keys for around $13. The price seems too good to be true compared to Microsoft’s official pricing. I’m thinking about buying it but not sure if it’s legit. Has anyone here tried it before? Is it safe for long-term use?79Views0likes2Comments
