I was unable to upgrade to Windows 11 on my old i7-4770K PC due to its age and lack of TPM support but I decided to opt for Windows 11 Pro with my new i5-13600KF system which arrived yesterday. I have to say that I am genuinely surprised at how different Windows 11 feels and looks compared with Windows 10. I was led to believe that it was pretty much Windows 10 with a centrally placed Start button and a slightly different Start menu layout. The differences are much more than that and overall I actually really like, especially the little icons for Cut/Copy/Paste and Delete that show when you right click on a file in File Explorer. All that is missing is a tabs feature for File Explorer but I used Stardock's Groupy for that on Windows 10. I have signed up for Windows Insider again but opted only for the Preview Builds. Is Windows 11 now stable enough to do that or should I opt out of Windows Insider and just stick with the release builds? I use my PC mostly for gaming, browsing and listening to music/watching YouTube with one day a month being for remote working from home.
Protip: Use Windows 11 *Spectre* with no autoupdate and stripped the way YOU want. Maximum performance with no DPC issues Now I'm using 22H2 22621.232

Just a recommendation for W11 from me. So, with the advent of version 22h2 it became obvious that it was now worth a rub. Initially went for the W11 pasted on top of W10 upgrade which had issues. But I have now gone for a clean install of W11 and for me this time no problems it just works. Now, as a gamer I like to be in full control of an OS when I am installing. W11 wants to connect to the internet as soon as it can and potentially mess things up. For me W11 was denied. Lug pulled and with Shift+F10 I was able to by pass W11 internet connection aspirations. And in command type OOBE\BYPASSNRO. and with that you can install W11 as you like. Most definitely I amazed by the HDR capabilities of W11. Its almost wizardry.

Microsoft are doing my head in man... I'm not on 11 but saw this thread update which made me check if there was a new update for 10 and there was. All yesterday afternoon I was trouble shooting AGAIN the Microsoft Store not signing in, I tried the following. sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Then tried repair and reset of the the Windows Store app. Then uninstalled all the vc++ redistribution and reinstalled... which has fixed this issue in the past but not this time. So long story short after today's new update I opened Windows Store and went to try signing in again and it worked. Hey Microsoft...... Spoiler
That won't do anything... Windows Store signs in just fine, now it's the xbox account sign in that's broken.... lol.. gotta love Microsoft.
Spoiler xD In the time since last comment I've figured it out.... damn it was my own fault this whole, was blocking something from having access to internet.
Nice that you got it figured out! I'm on LTSC and also got a CU a little bit ago, and I'm surprised at how easy it was to install Minecraft. One command to install Store, a quick MS log-in for apps only, downloaded MC Launcher and both MC games from the Microsoft Store, the Xbox app and Identity provider, and Minecraft worked fine even bedrock in VR. I also found my account on MineRealm that I haven't logged into apparently since 2014

For the love of god, some programs dont save the window size when computer restarts, steam/discord for example. Save window size option in settings is ON. Windows 11 latest build.
Electron app window sizes are only saved when closed while non-maximised, Restarting terminates the process, it doesn't close it gracefully.
February 28, 2023—KB5022913 (OS Build 22621.1344) Preview Windows 11 version 22H2, all editions Release Date: 28/02/2023 Version: OS Build 22621.1344 For information about Windows update terminology, see the article about the types of Windows updates and the monthly quality update types.

This update improves the search box experience on the taskbar. As you type in the search box, search results now appear in the search flyout box. You can also change the search experience you want for your taskbar by going to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. For commercial customers, this update adds a new policy for IT administrators to manage how the search box on the taskbar appears in your organization. For more information, see Customizing search on the Windows 11 taskbar. New! You can now access Windows Studio effects directly from quick settings on the taskbar for devices that have a supported neural processing unit (NPU). This makes it quick and easy to turn on and configure camera effects. These effects include Background blur, Eye contact, Automatic framing, and Audio effects (Voice focus). You can still access these effects in the Settings pages. New! This update makes it easier to get help if you are having PC issues. You can now find Quick Assist in the Start menu’s All apps list. New! This update introduces a touch-optimized taskbar for 2-in-1 devices that you can use as a tablet. There are two states of this taskbar: collapsed and expanded. To switch between the two states, swipe up and down on the bottom of your screen. When collapsed in tablet mode, the taskbar recedes to give you more screen space and keeps you from accidentally opening the taskbar. When expanded in tablet mode, the taskbar is optimized to be easier to use with touch. Your taskbar will automatically change to this optimized version when you disconnect or fold back the keyboard. This feature only works on devices that can be used as tablets and is on by default. To change that, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors. The setting is called “Optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet.” If your company manages Windows updates for your device, this feature will be off by default. Administrators can turn it on using the new commercial control for continuous innovation. New! This update provides enhanced support for braille devices. They will continue working while you switch between Microsoft Narrator and third-party screen readers. Narrator will automatically change braille drivers. For more information, see Chapter 8: Using Narrator with braille. New! This update also adds support for new braille displays and new braille input and output languages in Narrator.

You can move icons to rearrange them in the “Show hidden icons” flyout menu or move icons to the taskbar. New! This update makes voice access more flexible and supports interaction with more user interface (UI) controls. For example, voice now interacts with controls that contain: Names that have numbers, such as “Click 5” Names without whitespaces between them, such as “click PivotTable” or “click PivotChart” Names that have special characters, such as Bluetooth & devices (“click Bluetooth and devices”) or Dial – up (“click dial hyphen up”) New! Voice now supports spin controls, thumb controls, and split buttons. You interact with these controls by using the “click” command or number overlays. This update also addresses issues that affect snapping commands that snap a window left or right. Commands that move the cursor in a text box now run instantly. New! This update also provides voice scrolling enhancements. You can use voice to scroll to the extreme left and right on a page. You can also use continuous scrolling to the left or right like what is already present for vertical scrolling.
