Since a little while I have been making a lot more typos!
I was starting to doubt myself, but it turned out to be something I am sure I had turned off: autocorrect! Don’t know what update it was, but MickeySoft must have been been doing stuff in my settings again, without asking me first.
How to stop this?
Go to Windows Settings, Time & Language, Typing and turn those options off (again!).
That’s all folks!
Have a nice day…
Thank you ‘Tom’ for the article on How To: “Maintain only a local account on your Windows 11 PC“.
By default, you must log in with a Microsoft account in order to install Windows 11 and go through the box (OOBE) setup process that triggers either as part of installation or the first time you turn on a new Windows PC. It seems like Microsoft really wants you to log in to Windows 11 using its account system, both so it can track you, …and so you can get benefits such as synchronizing your wallpaper and preferences across different computers.
However, there are many reasons why you would want to install Windows 11 using a local account only. Maybe you want to install Windows 11 with a local (non-Microsoft) account because you are installing the OS on a child’s PC or on a PC that you plan to sell, give to a friend or donate to a charity (without giving other people access to personal data). Or perhaps you just like your privacy and don’t want to create an account with Microsoft in the first place.
Whatever your reason for doing so, it’s easy to install or set up Windows 11 without using a Microsoft account. Below, we’ll show you the method: which involves issuing some commands during the install / OOBE process. We’ve tested the method on the latest major Windows 11 version, 24H2, and they work.

Old-fashioned, but I still use batchfiles to automate tasks on my computer. One of them is a backup mirroring script, using the robocopy command. Recently I wanted to add a folder from C:\Program Files\appname\ to the backup, so I added the following line to the backup-script:
Robocopy "C:\Program Files\appname\" "\\SERVER\Backup\LAPTOP\appname\" /MIR /XJD /R:8 /W:15 /MT:32 /BYTES /V /NP /LOG:log-LAPTOP-appname.logHowever this did not work, what’s the problem? Who knows… but the solution is to add a space before the closing end-quote. So just use:
Robocopy "C:\Program Files\appname\ " "\\SERVER\Backup\LAPTOP\appname\ " /MIR /XJD /R:8 /W:15 /MT:32 /BYTES /V /NP /LOG:log-LAPTOP-appname.logOn another note, check this, and use (also note the * and not *.* !!!):
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" u -r -up0q3r2x2y2z1w2 -mx=0 -password Z:\somefile.zip "C:\Somefolder\*"That’s all folks!
Have a nice day…
Same problem as this one?
” under Windows 10 I could drag & drop any file (e.g. docx or xlsx) to the Word/Excel icon, which is pinned on my taskbar. When righ-clicking on the Excel icon, I could see my pinned Excel files. Same with Word: I saw all my pinned documents. Windows 11 doesn’t let me drag & drop files to the pinned Microsoft App in the taskbar anymore. Please note, it is not about pinning the Excel app to my taskbar or pinning a document as an app to the taskbar: it is about pinning a DOCUMENT to the pinned Mircosoft app. “
The answer:

Client with a question:
Windows file explorer,
on document do a right-click,
select Send to – Mail recipient
…. and this opens Windows Live Mail instead of the default Outlook.
You would suspect Windows-Settings-Apps-Default Apps to be set incorrectly, but this was not the case.
