Firstlythe default position of the start button is so Inconvenient and if its center aligned it doesn't even remain in the same place. Windows 11 is basically more of a design update to Windows 10. No new or rather user friendly or productive features except for running android apps are present.

Start menu is terrible! It has lost its classic touch. Only pinned apps visible, you need to click a button separately to view all apps. Start menu can't be resized, full screen start absent, no live tiles (biggest let down). The WiFi, Sound and Bluetooth bar adds to the inconvenience. Why open all of them if you just want to change the settings of 1. One drive is also not stable.


Settings look is OK. Not very impressive. App logos OK. The earlier ones were much better. The Chat, Switch Desktop functions are pinned to the taskbar all the time and cannot remove them. Very annoying. Preview peek desktop on hovering cursor is also missing. I personally liked the feature.


Long saying short - I would prefer to use Windows 10 rather than Windows 11 or would even like Windows 7 better than Windows 11. Clearly Windows 11 is just a design update of Windows 10 other than the Android apps. Might as well add the feature to Windows 10!


Clearly an unplanned, inconvenient, hard user interfaced and unhelpful operating system. Currently what I feel is that looking at the scenario now I am thinking that Windows 11 will be a fail. No better than Vista. Doesn't provide with any useful features.


Some of the things you point out are configurable in the settings already, so I'd encourage you to explore those in more depth as you may be happier with the result (app alignment, pinned items like Chat, etc.). I feel the most constructive take-away from your post is a desire for more configurability, and that is something I'm confident everyone will be able to agree with and would be something the designers would be willing to consider :)


@davidpetree2 why respond lkike that. windows 11 is greta its reliable and works well but there is alot of stupid things like no third party widgets, instead you get a few microsft options that most people i know wouldnt use. i want widgets, so im gona let people know this. like skype not working on 11 on desktop and laptop for a day. or say not being able to drag start menu icons over too desktop. its all about moaning so changes might happen. but apart from windows 8 which took me a month t0 use ive always been a windows fan, i just dont think microsft are. look how live tiles was abandoned years ago and left to users to put up with and i love live tiles.


@Arin_Swadi Or you can just buy a M1 Macbook Pro like I did and give up on Windows all together. I took a chance and bought an M1 at Costco to try it out and man what a great decision! The OS feels like it's super solid built by the highest level of detail and craftsmanship and the processor is just a monster! It makes my Thinkpad look stupid b/c the M1 gets 2 days of battery life without stepping down performance at all and runs as cool as a seal in the artic. It's also like having a dedicated gaming GPU in your laptop without any of the battery drain or heat.


It took a while to get used to some of the OS X stuff like the way it handles cut and paste but it was worth it. No crashing, apps run faster than ever, laptop runs cool and I never carry around my power plug because I never need to charge it! My Thinkpad gets 3 hours on a good day with the wind blowing in the right direction and as soon as I start doing anything intense, that battery life goes down to 1.5 hours.


I feel like I need a nuclear power plant just to keep a Windows laptop running when doing anything like video editing while the M1 uses unicorn farts and solar panels to tear through video editing and heavy sound work. Frankly, if I was Intel or Microsoft, I would be so embarrassed.


At Vinsan Salvage we have a very large range of second hand windows available, both timber and aluminium framed including French, Lead Light, Colonial, Security and many more. With the majority stored indoors, our windows are in great condition. Call the yard or drop in today to see if we have a size and style that will suit what you are looking for!


If you get your double glazed windows from a specialised second-hand provider, they are more likely to be in better condition, but might be more expensive than independent listings on Gumtree or eBay.


Getting double glazed windows can be expensive, but buying them second hand can reduce the total cost. Most second hand windows will be 50-450, but the average new double glazed window will be about 640.


As well as keeping heat in, double glazed windows also keep noise out, meaning a more peaceful home for you. This is because two panes are better at absorbing sound vibrations than one, and the gap in between them lessens soundwave transmission. Double glazing can typically reduce the noise level by 35 to 40 decibels (dB), which is a level similar to a quiet conversation.


For example, new double glazed windows are often made with low emissivity (low-E) glass, which is a coating that allows natural light into the home, while deflecting UV rays and infrared light back out of the property. This keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer.


A better alternative is to install new double glazed windows, which are worth the higher price because they last longer and are equipped with the latest double glazing technology, leading to maximum energy savings.


If you want to keep costs down, but avoid the disadvantages of second-hand windows, you should consider secondary glazing. This is where a pane of glass and a frame are fitted over existing windows. It typically costs about half as much as installing new double glazed windows, and is still a great way to insulate your home.


New double glazed windows, sourced from a professional installer, are worth the investment. You can keep costs down by opting for cheaper materials and styles, which will still do a great job at insulating your home.


If you have Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, or Linux devices that are no longer being used in your organization, you might decide to repurpose and distribute them for personal use. Or, some users might purchase a second-hand Windows or macOS device, where Chrome browser was previously managed by an administrator in a school, company, or other group.


You might also need to remove files used for configuring Chrome. You might have created these files manually or they might have been created using a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) or mobile management tool.


If you don't have an existing Chrome Browser Cloud Management subscription and and your Chrome Enterprise Premium subscription is cancelled, or if your trial expires, any currently enrolled browsers will not continue to be managed by your organization. If you want to maintain the management of your enrolled browsers, you can add the Chrome Browser Cloud Management subscription at no cost.


According to the advocacy group Global Advisors on Smokefree Policy, legislation banning or otherwise addressing smoking in cars with children was proposed in 12 states in 2015, including Connecticut. In addition, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (national center), a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reports that eight states and the District of Columbia restrict smoking in vehicles carrying children in the care of childcare facilities. We have attached the center's list of state restrictions on smoking in motor vehicles in effect as of June 30, 2015.


We were unable to find any studies that specifically address the effectiveness of banning smoking in vehicles. However, the Community Preventive Services Task Force, an independent board of experts appointed by the CDC director, strongly recommends smoking bans and restrictions on the basis of strong scientific


Researchers say that second-hand smoke can be particularly hazardous in the relatively confined space of a car. Opening car windows or vents can reduce, but not eliminate, the danger. A 2011 research paper that monitored car trips involving smokers found that the concentration of fine particulate matter in cars where smoking occurred greatly exceeded international indoor air quality standards and posed a health threat to children (Semple et al.). More recent studies of stationary vehicles found similar results for other harmful compounds.


The law bars smoking in motor vehicles carrying children under age 14 (Ark. Rev. Code 20-27-1903). A violator may be fined up to $25, but first-time offenders can avoid paying the fine by showing proof they are taking part in a smoking-cessation program. The law does not apply to buses (including school buses) and other public conveyances legally required to have passenger restraint systems.


The law bars smoking in a motor vehicle, whether moving or stopped, when a minor (under age 18) is present (Cal. Health and Safety Code 118947 et seq.). A violation is punishable by a fine of up to $100. A law enforcement officer cannot stop a vehicle solely to determine whether a driver is violating this law.


The law bars smoking in a motor vehicle where there is a child (under age 13) in a child safety or booster seat, or wearing a seat belt, regardless of whether the windows are open or closed (La. Rev. Stat. 32:300.4). The law applies to cars, passenger vans, and pick-up trucks. Violators are subject to a fine of up to $150 or, at the judge's discretion, at least 24 hours of community service. Violation of this provision is considered a primary offense, which means a law enforcement officer may stop a motor vehicle solely because of a violation. But the officer may not search or inspect a motor vehicle, its contents, the driver, or a passenger solely because of a violation of this provision. A violation is a nonmoving violation, and a citation issued by an officer cannot be included on the driver's operating record.
