Bizarre. I couldn't use the machine name to RDP into the P3 Ultra running production #Windows11, but it works fine for the #betaChannel version. Go figure! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Jumping on KB5052090 for #BetaChannel #Windows11 right now. Let's see how this one turns out... #WindowsInsiders #MVP

Just had a laugh trying to update a #BetaChannel #Windows11 Insider Preview for no good reason. I *MUST* remember to check the whole build number, not just look at the trailing minor digits at the end. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/decoding-bui

Windows 10 reaches its end-of-life in October 2025, and now Microsoft are shutting down its Beta Channel (where people test new tools and features). Is it time to switch your business to Windows 11? We can help

I'll be dipped: I really, truly *like* a new UI feature in Build 22635.4000, the latest #Windows11 #BetaChannel Insider Preview. I call it inactive jump lists: deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/win11-beta-s

Composite screencap shows "inactive jump lists" for taskbar apps that aren't currently open, with recent accesses and standard menu options. Kinda useful!

They're baaaaaack. The "Lucky 13" bogus reclaimables also show up in #BetaChannel build 22635.3566. I use an in-place repair install (IPRI) to clean up, but then I have to perform some minor desktop fixes. #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MSMVP edtittel.com/blog/ipri-spawns-

Heh! When I go to check a gradual rollout change to the Start menu in Build 22635.3500, I realize there's no direct way into that menu with Start11v2 installed. Easily fixed tho . . . deets follow. #WindowsInsider #MVP #BetaChannel edtittel.com/blog/bring-up-sta

When you choose the Windows Pro style in Start11v2 it doesn't show the built-in Windows Start menu. Thankfully, there's a trick for that. Lemme tell you all about it...

After I switch my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme over from production #Windows11 to #BetaChannel, I see 13 bogus reclaimables when doing a DISM cleanup. I've seen this before. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/beta-channel

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup can't do its thing after upgrading a PC from production Windows 11 to  Beta Channel. There's a fix, though -- and I provide the info needed to enact it.

"Fix problems using Windows update" finally shows up on my #Windows11 #BetaChannel test PC. Works well, but takes 55+ mins to complete. I like it, but it's slower than other methods. #WindowsInsiders edtittel.com/blog/beta-channel

New recovery option "Fix problems using Windows update" now actives in Build 23635.3130. Works well, but goes slowly. Sigh.

They're heeeeeeeeere! #Windows11 #BetaChannel adds System Components to Settings > System. Deets on what falls under this heading follow... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP edtittel.com/blog/beta-build-2

New System Components heading under Settings > System includes Game Bar, Get Help, Microsoft Store, Phone Link, Tips and Windows Security apps/facilities. These are now built-in, protected parts of the app-verse in Windows 11.

I've got a reclaimable packages mystery going on my #BetaChannel #Windows11 Test PC. Here's a status report... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP edtittel.com/blog/working-recl

When I analyze my X380 Yoga's WinSxS it shows 13 (!) reclaimable packages. But I can't clean out any of them. That's the mystery!

Dude?! Where's my update button? Alas, it's MIA in the latest #BetaChannel #Windows11 preview build. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP edtittel.com/blog/beta-build-2

The Windows Update home page in Settings loses the "Check for updates" button in the latest beta build. Disconcerting but there are plenty of workarounds. Deets follow...

Anyone remember the old Microsoft Entourage My Day app? Looks like Outlook for Mac will be bringing it back.

youtube.com/watch?v=hTSrQXo9H5U

Screen shot of Microsoft Outlook for Mac My Day menu bar with the agenda view of my calendar in a drop down window.

At the top are the last two weeks of the current month (March) displayed with the current day (the 31st) highlighted in an orange circle.

Below the calendar multiple entries for events on my calendar. To the left of each entry is the hour the meeting or appointment starts with the duration below (1 hr, 30 min, 50 min, etc.). To the right of the start time is a colored determined by category) divider bar. to the right of the divider bar is the meeting or appointment title in bold. Some of these have Zoom or online meeting links below the meeting name.
