how to fix this error code 0x801901f4 😭

[@BillsSpamMail]

Sucks!!! No grouping of apps in start menu. One group named Office now becomes Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Word, Publisher, OneNote, etc icons. Such clutter when loosing other groups full of like-kind apps.. Most screens are wider than tall, so taskbar should be along left EDGE of screen (at least as an option). Moving icons to the left end of the bottom of the screen, whoopy doo. BTW, regedit allows u to move the taskbar to the top of the screen. And why couldn't the taskbar on multiple displays all be the same (e.g. choose OneNote snippet icon or other hidden icons or Quick Settings from each taskbar? That is task bar on every screen be identical? They didn't fix their search bugs (e.g. copy name of file in an indexed folder, move up 1 directory level and search-maybe finds it maybe not). Also clicking in the Search box still doesn't bring up search options until you type something. I will be keeping my TPM turned off so that I don't get upgraded.

does windows 11 have spacial sound yet for headphones ? why i went back to windows 10 i like it for gaming with my 7.1 headphones

He has become one of my favorites, however, I watched so many different people that it's hard to keep up any one person. That said, KZbin doesn't help much with the how they feed you videos, because they keep sending the same type of videos, over and over. AI gone bad :-(

Today I have got update of windows 11 in my Dell inspiron and I was looking for new features in it. You have covered all the new features. thanks for the video it helped me a lot in understanding New Windows 11.

Don't Update

@@enshroud949 Too late. It's working well though.

[@stevorellana]

I would agree with the file explorer but I would never use it, now I just use windows key + e

@@stevorellana That shortcut might be just the fix. Thanks for that. I really do miss my old start menu layout though.

[@stevorellana]

@@SamHaugen yeah, i wish I could pin the "teams chat" in the start menu and not have it on my taskbar, and I'm fine with icons in the middle but i wish the start was on the side

[@stevenhageman8255]

my absolute favorite feature is the screen snapping update. Screen snapping has always been one of my favorite updates that microsoft has made, and now they've made it even better

[@kevinmansell8746]

mines too i just bought my new pc yesterday windows 11 is very fast with the updates if there is a threat it be block it is more secure i chat in twitter in youtube chat

[@szita2000]

Installed it. What can I say. It is a nice shiny pink plastic wrapper. I really wish that they would improved a few things under the hood as well.

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

I hate all the default hatred for anything new involving Windows. I actually like 11. I liked 10. The settings app in 11 was a ver needed revamp that was overdue. Quite a few things got a badly needed revamp actually. Great video!

[@ecologelcentrosuramericaca6926]

Something else. In W10, you were able to right click on a program pinned in the start menu, and it would display the last files and the pinned files you were working on, on that specific program. In W11, you see a mix of all files. Any suggestion on how to go back to the previous start menu but keeping Windows 11?

[@PabiMalla]

Few things that would have been great and useful: 1. under the start menu, it would have been great if all apps (show all) when expanded, expanded like app drawer on Android alphabetically with option to favorite the most used apps. The current vertical app list waste so much usable space. 2. desktop widgets just like on Android and iOS widgets in the home screen would have been great. 3. app folders also like in mobile OS to organize apps

[@TheWerelf]

my favourite feature of windows 11 is that you can no longer ungroup taskbar apps. Good job microsoft

[@JoeCannon1]

Am I correct that the taskbar no longer shows titles of open programs? That's super handy for multi-tasking. is there a way to turn that on?

[@linsetv]

if i'm correct you could also have this option in windows10. I guess there is/will be a setting for it in the taskbar settings

[@JoeCannon1]

@@linsetv I hope so. Its available in Windows 10. I hope it is in win 11

[@Hemestal]

Idk, i found it very similar to 10, i think the only substantial improvement that i found is that now when i tab out of a game or switch to a different display and the game in fullscreen goes to the background and i click back on the game, it does it seemlesly and with no delay when in win10, all my displays turned black for like 2 seconds everytime i wanted to hop back on the game. I think this is a great feature that makes things much smoother for multi display gaming and streaming

[@Lewis-rq3of]

[@billn.1318]

From an IT management perspective, Windows 11 will not work (yet) for small, medium, large or corporate businesses. Municipal apps are not yet compatible with Windows 11. Majority of apps designed for windows 7 (legacy apps) that businesses invested in aren't even windows 10 compatible but we made them work. I recall windows 10 was suppose to be the last OS made but of course, simplified the display of windows 11 but makes it horrible for IT managers to implement the latest and greates OS to our managed clients as we, ourselves, have to be trained in Windows 11, test windows 11 and determine if the clients will use the new windows 11 OS. Lots of customer education right there. Right now, we created a script to not push Windows 11. Not until 2023 probably will we move to Windows 11. Windows 11 is best for home average users and not for business.

[@blackchristiangeek]

Greetings and as a fellow IT professional, I would suggest that it sounds like apps have not been updated somewhere along the way. Carrying legacy apps forward opposed to updating or replacing always bugged me in this business over the last 25+ years 😢 I get it, users like what they like and there are time when those users are owners/management. Nevertheless, I stand by my statement and they that we fail them and ultimately us when we don't properly educate them on better practices and why. Just my $0.02, but hey I will be retired in about 11 months 😇 Thanks and God bless,

[@trapped-ion]

Why aren't you using VMs? And for how long is MS continue to focus lots of resources to Win 10? Are they not offering higher security update charges to clients who want to stay on Windows 10? I fully understand the painful path of upgrading, especially when feverything can migrate to the new OS, but just one application can't move because of some funny dll. The other things you mentioned are also a pain - training staff, etc.

Mike, regarding the snap groups, does it matter if you had previously closed the apps? In your example, you had three apps in a single snap group. What if I had closed Outlook? Would the snap group reopen the application and position it where it was, or would it be removed from said snap group?
