Windows 11 just got a major update, and it's rolling out today ๐งต
1. Meet the new Start menu
Windows 11 is getting a redesigned Start menu, which, according to Microsoft, makes it easier to access apps because everything is in one place. You don't have to keep tapping on buttons to find your apps. You just need to scroll, and all apps will appear.
It is also possible to remove the Recommended feed, which was used by Microsoft to show ads.
You can now switch between two new viewsโcategory view, which groups apps by type and highlights frequently used ones, and grid view, which lists apps alphabetically with more horizontal space for easier scanning.
Also, the Start menu now has a responsive layout. Larger displays show more pinned apps, recommendations, and categories by default. Sections like Pinned and Recommended expand or collapse based on content.
You can customize these views under Settings > Personalization > Start.
Hi! We have troubles to get a HP Z6 G5 A Workstation boot into #ConfigMgr WinPE. We added the newest WinPE driver pack and the very big Nvidia graphics driver (temp). BaseboardID is 8B24. After loading WinPE the screen is black and nothing happens. Ideas?

@gwblok@nkofahl@dan_felman I added the Nvidia driver only to test. I removed it because the result is the same. I only integrate the HP WinPE driver pack. At the moment 3.10. I can boot from Win11 USB-Stick. The problem only exist with ConfigMgr Boot Image from network and USB. Never seen before.

I released an analyzer PS script that emulates HPIA scanning engine - read all about it at https://t.co/zoVsHI4gUE - Output should be similar to HPIA analyze function. Script in GitHub. This is a personal effort over a long time. Hope is useful

The association of this song with Bon is so strong that Brian Johnson refuses to sing it out of respect.
