I'm having strange behavior with my taskbar. On my simulator I currently use 4 monitors, 3 identical 22" monitors set up as a 5760x1080, and a 40" TV 1920x1080. On the TV the taskbar is centralised, but on the three linked computers, it keeps hopping from the centre screen to the left-hand...

Is there some way to turn off hover select? Having things pop up that I didn't want is driving me nuts.

I don't like the emoji style that comes with Windows 11. Is it possible to alter it to the iOS set?

How do I add an .EXE project to a solution of DLL's? This is using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional I have been handed a solution file which contains three projects. But all three projects generate DLL files. It is kind of unique because I have uncovered that they contain XAML files. So...

Ok, so I am totally unimpressed with Windows 11 and the work they have done in making things streamline but now they are utterly awful and not nearly as quick or user friendly. Not only that but it seems like other softwares modified too and now they are garbage?? I will keep it to one thing...

Memory leaks occur when the JavaScript code of an application retains more and more objects in memory that it doesn’t need any longer instead of releasing them for the browser to garbage collect (GC). For long-running apps, small memory leaks of only a few kilobytes can add up to noticeably...

Show us your Windows 11 desktop, here's mine:

I've heard that organising the Start menu in 11 is not possible. (It became pretty convoluted in 10). Is this true? I like ( or even need) to organise programme links, grouped according to purpose ( graphics, Office, internet, etc,) because I have lots of useful little programmes, many of which...
