Or Windows finally decided to check for updates….

cheers, Paul

I did check for updates several times.  That didn’t work.  Only when I released In Control did it work and it did so immediately.

Read through this thread 22h2-update.

Thanks for the link to that other thread.  I have done everything mentioned in that thread I think.  It has been about 6 or 7 hours since I made the change.  Guess I’ll just have to wait a bit longer.

Strange.  After waiting for awhile longer and not getting offered 22H2, I decided to try something.  I “released control” in In Control and was immediately offered 22H2 which I then installed.  It appears that In Control was keeping me from being offered 22H2 despite having In Control set to Windows 11 22H2.

What can we do if we are not being offered Win 11 22H2.  I am currently on Win 11 22H1.  I had In Control set to Win 11 22 H1 but I changed that after reading this post this morning.  Still not being offered 22 H2.

I have re-started several time and done “Check for Updates” several times.

No… I have it disabled on my screen.

To hide search bar or search button:

Right click on taskbar, go to Search, and select Hidden.

 

Must be getting old… my memory is failing.  I had also gone into GPEdit and disabled search highlights before they were rolled out to me.  No wonder I didn’t see any.  🙂  Thanks everyone for responding to my questions.

In the article it says “When they do, and if they annoy you as they annoy me, you can disable them in Settings, Privacy and Security, Search Permissions, and Show search highlights.”.

I am on Windows 10 21H2. I don’t have an option called Privacy and Security in Settings. There is one called Privacy and one called Update & Security. There is not a Search Permissions option in either.

I don’t have highlights yet. Will this setting be added when the “feature” is rolled out? Where will it be added if we don’t have Privacy and Security?

I also use Thunderbird to access Gmail.  No two factor authorization is required, but I did have to change my authorization method to OAuth2.

I really like the new look.  Much cleaner and easier to read.  The DEFCOM “icons” are must better.

Thanks,

It is really easy to install the group policy editor on Windows 10 Home.

These instructions on how to install it are shown on a lot of different websites. I installed it on my wife’s computer and it seems to work fine.

Start11™
Now in Beta
Restore the Classic Start Menu in Windows 10/11.

This appears to offer a “classic” start menu, but not the Windows 10 start menu with a list of programs and program folders on the left and a list of group-able live tiles on the right.  Am I missing something?

Mele20,

Thanks for the reply.  I don’t have an iPhone or watch… only an iPad.  I gather that the update process is similar to the iPhone.  I’ll give it a go.

Thanks!

How does one install these patches?

I have the same question as bmeacham.  I don’t want to go back to the Win 7 start menu.  I like the Win 10 start menu.  Is there an app that will allow us to use a Win 10 style start menu on Win 11?
