Just got my Windows 11 Home Single Language today with new laptop!

I adjust the taskbar icon to the left, not feeling easy with centered taskbar.

I set up my PIN for Windows, but after a security patch a short while later, it says I need to set up my PIN again -- not a friendly experience for me.

Anyway, my laptop is 12GB, but it says 2.1GB RAM is reserved, only 9.9GB usable.
Does anyone know why?

Yes. I just found it in BIOS setting can set UMA buffer size (factory default 2GB), after also asking a computer shop friend.

I might want to set it to 1GB only.

I expand the window, the full sentence is "Form factor, row of chips", no idea what it is.

I don't like the taskbar and start menu style in Win11. Windows 10 is better, I like the old tiles.

How to hide the Recommended section in start menu, it is completely a waste (after I turn off recent files, it is still there).

Interesting findings....

I heard that Windows 11 console now support UTF-8 in certain code page, is this rumor or fact?

I tried it on Windows 10 on code page 65001, but no luck of seeing Hindi characters "हिन्दी"


Does anyone want to test in your Windows 11? I have this hindi.zip (containing hindi.asm and 32-bit hindi.exe).
You can try run "chcp 65001" first before executing "hindi.exe".
 hindi.zip ( 925bytes ) Number of downloads: 6


EDIT: Looks like it has something to do with the monospace font. Hmm.....

Thanks for trying to download. It is false positive, as it is common for Assembly programmers community for their programs to be falsely detected as trojan (exactly this Wacatac.B!ml), maybe because of small EXE file size, 2048 bytes only.

I think it only works well in Windows 11, for older version of Windows, have to choose the appropriate fixed pitch font to display certain language correctly.

Yes, my source code is in UTF-8, I either use WriteConsoleA with "db" byte string, or WriteConsoleW with "du" Unicode string, but both cannot show Hindi characters in my Windows 10. (If I output Chinese characters, must also choose Chinese font for Command prompt window, or else it is just appearing as ??? string)

Thanks for your screenshot.
