Not much point posting mine, you'd just have to go to Bing to see it. I have Bing Desktop running.

Not big into picking wallpapers myself. Used the default Win 7 one for many years. nAnd for quite some time I used one that was similar, but had the newer style MS logo in the middle. Supposedly from Windows 8, but with the actual colors in the flag, not just all blue or all white. I liked it, but kinda got bored with it.

Probably not much point in posting either, but I like coming here to look at others desktops.

The Computer icon is from a set of Token icons I got on Deviantart: Devine Icons. If you do a search for Devine Icons in the Customization > Icons > Dock Icons section, you'll be able to snag the whole collection (black also).

Trash bin is from Token Icon set but I can't remember what the name was. Moded I think, but the blue ones. You can do a similar search for them also on Deviantart

The Rainmeter Skin is called 'My Skin' and it has all kinds of different widgets to put up. The clock I'm using is from the My Skin\Computer\Clock\12hr\clock_small.ini. I think I changed the font though to Segoe Semilight. I also got it from Deviantart.com

devHead you wouldn't by chance have a link for that 'My Skin' Rainmeter skin would you? I searched through DeviantArt and couldn't find it.

Thanks!

This is sort of an ongoing thing for me, I can't decide how to organize everything really.

I've been wanting a white start screen for ages, looks as nice as I imagined :D

That looks really nice as it is now. :) Did you use decor8 to remove the text from the tiles?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
