Maybe the icon dimensions are larger than the tile and it's being scaled to fit. Go to the location where you have the icon stored and hover over it to see its dimensions. It looks like you are using the Small tile size on Start11, so if the icons file dimensions are larger than the tile, it is being scaled to fit the tile. The System Desktop is also scaling the icon file to fit the icon size you have selected for the desktop.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="9" id="3906550"] A question, pelaird...do you have a backup of your data on W10? It would still mean a day wasted resetting stuff and reinstalling, though. [/quote] Oh yes. I am a backup freak. Almost all my files are backed up on OneDrive, and those which aren't, I back up three times a week with Acronis, and once a week with EaseUS. I also perform a complete image backup of my C: drive twice a week. Every Thursday with EaseUS and every Saturday w

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="7" id="3906500"] I can not recommend you getting stuck in Windows 11 DEV channel. The only off ramp after the "go back" button disappears is a clean install of Windows 11. Being on a release channel or even a beta channel is fine because there are off ramps. The DEV channel sticks. [/quote] Ah, very good point. That is probably the reason the "Choose insider settings" and "Stop getting preview builds" are grayed out. I listed this i

Thanks for all the comments. I think there are 10 days to go back to Windows 10, and I will pay close attention to that. I plan on doing some research on the WEB over the next couple of days to see what I can find. As I said, I was on the Insider Release Preview channel for windows 10. The version of Windows 11 that was installed is the Insider Developer channel, 23570.1000ni version of Windows 11. I'm not entirely sure what "ni" or nickel means. There is no watermark in the l

Okay, this is really weird. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 19045.3363 on an Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU which as I understood it, was unsupported. This evening, Windows update showed a Restart icon on my taskbar. Upon clicking this, my computer went through the normal update procedure for Windows 10, and then it switched to a screen reminiscent of installing a new version of Windows. This took about 15-20 minutes. When My computer restarted and I logged into Windows,

Oops! You’re correct. Start10 is probably not getting any more attention from the devs. at this point. I would then suggest the OP upgrade to Start11.

[quote quoting="post"] I understand if the installer is still in English, as it can be expected that most system admins have a working knowledge of English - that's just a reality of the IT world. However, the user options menu still being partially in English is pretty unacceptable, as you cannot expect users the world over to be able to read complex English options.

It doesn’t matter what labeling you use, It’s still counterintuitive to turn a switch on to turn something off. You wouldn’t turn a light switch on to turn off the light! Please consider fixing this setting so that it’s more intuitive. I don’t know of any other software that uses this type of switch scenario. The Dev’s seem dead set on using this setting as is with labeling changes instead of fixing it.

[quote]Perhaps it's an exception list of some sort, but maybe initials could work for Start11? Might be confusing so if anyone could suggest something else on my end, would work too [/quote] I know it's not what you asking for, but try entering the first three letters for what your searching. For example, "vis" or "gra" and see what search returns.

Try this: Open an Explorer window and then open another Explorer window. You should now have an Explorer group with two tabs. If not, drag one of the two windows on top of the other to form a group. Then right click one of the tabs and >Personalize Tab>and check Always show tabs for this type of window (as shown above). This will force Explorer to always show a tab even if there is only one. You will have to repeat this procedure for each app that you want to always show a tab.<

Not sure exactly which change fixed it, but I got it fixed. First, I did an extensive search of the Registry using Nirsoft's RegScanner app and saved the results. Then I ran the Purge .bat file for Groupy. Restarted the computer and then checked to make sure all the Registry entries were removed. They were. Next, I ran a search of my C: Drive for "Groupy." I found a strange entry in "C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortna" that had
