Microsoft’s latest Insider preview activity delivers the first tangible repair to a long-running visual grievance: several legacy file-operation dialogs in Windows 11 are now respecting the system Dark theme in test builds, reducing the jarring white “flash” users have endured for years while...

Windows 11’s dark theme has been a work in progress for years; this week’s Insider activity shows Microsoft quietly closing one of the more glaring gaps by pushing dark-mode treatment to additional file operation dialogs — but the rollout is partial, fragile, and currently only reachable to...

I have solved the problem! See the original post, "A strange problem with modeless dialog boxes", for details. This is a repost, incorporating the latest simplifications of the problem statement, and a minimal reproducible example of the code... I'm having a problem with modeless dialog boxes...

I have solved the problem! When the AI Bot told me that I was stalling the message loop, I looked deeper. In the original code I was calling PeekMessage() with PM_REMOVE, filtering for WM_KEYDOWN, and then checking for VK_ESCAPE. This consumed the WM_KEYDOWN message but not any other messages...

On a computer with Windows 7 I started the built-in Firewall dialog. Much to my surprise the Firewall does NOT show the full, usual firewall setup dialog but only a part of it. It looks like as the left dialog in the attached snapshot. If I click on the button "Use recommended settings"...

Hi all, When I try to print things in various programs, the print dialog box no longer pops up. It seems to be only the old version of the print dialog box, as trying to print something in apps such as the photo app causes the new version of print dialog box to pop up. It is when I try to print...

1. MOST TABS AND MOUSE SCROLLS ARE JERKY. HOVERING OVER HIDDEN TASKBAR TAKES TIME TO SHOW SOMETIMES. MAKE IT FLUID. SETTINGS PANE TAKE TIME TO LOAD, WIN 10 WAS FASTER. 2. REMOVE SEARCH BAR IN START LOGO DIALOG BOX, THERE IS ONE IN SEARCH BOX ITSELF. 3. WHEN YOU TOGGLE OFF SUGGESTIONS IN...

I routinely email photos but I rarely want them resized. Is there a way to remove the dialog that pops up to give resize options when I send a photo to my email program? Or at least set it to send the original size instead of the default smaller size? I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

As you know users have oftentimes to select a folder from inside a program. The default file selection dialog pops up and the users has to navigate manually through lots of folders in hierarchy to get to the preferred taregt folder. I can imagine that there is a faster way by adding own...

In windows 10, I am you able to open any programs and if I can can open a dialog box, it won’t close. Nothing seems to be working. It all started with highlight, cut and paste functions not working. Thought it might be touchpad (although it wasn’t working by keyboard method either) so tried to...

About a few months ago I think, I started to notice my three Win10 machines the background color of certain dialogs were now a very dark grey. It looks really weird and makes some things harder to see. I guess it happened after a certain update (who knows which one) and as my machines got that...

Hello all, I have an Asus S400C and when I right click the mouse either barely moves or moves about an inch. Also (90% of time) the dialog box will show up for a fraction of a second and then disappear. There are so many touchpad problems, I couldnt even search and find someone with this. I...

I have recently installed Windows 10 and I have a problem with timing out on active work spaces. For example if I open up an excel spreadsheet and click on a cell to input data it keeps switching from being active to be non-active every 2-3 seconds. It also occurs with dialogue boxes and pull...

When I double click in WinExplorer on an *.mp4 video file a popup appears asking me if I want to play the video with a certain program (here with well known VLC video player). As you can see in the attached snapshot I checked the checkbox to ALWAYS use VLC for opening the video. BUT: When I...

Hi Here's another example of why I hate apps! I decided to try the 7Zip Opener app, I always use 7-Zip anyway and maybe the app will make it easy to use. It's very easy to start with. So I install the app, (now with the normal desktop version of 7-Zip you just right click on the .zip or .rar...

I can't figure out how to add my own app to the 'Open with' dialogue box (below). I want to open files with an .spv file type with an app. I compiled with Visual C++. In other words I want my app to open when I double-click on any file ending in .spv. It works fine from the command line...

Anyone interested might trying to enable or disable their network adapters. It seems there has been some change with KB3047680 or 681 where the Network Adapter dialog window will close if you try to change the status. Maybe it is just a fluke but a couple of more hours should tell.
