I don't think there is a way to do that yet. While it's works decently it took me less than a minute to make it crash just fiddling with resizing the columns and going through the tabs. It's in no way reliable (yet) as the built in manager.

That being said it looks, great work.

Nice, i will be keeping an eye on this as well, although it works (didnt crash on me) it doesnt sort by columns properly, eg show highest uses processes and keep refreshing to keep them in order.

Honestly the task manager and file copy operation is the only two things i like about windows 8.

There is a registry key under hklm from memory that points to task manager, so it wouldnt be hard to replace it with this. (http://marc-bourassa...indows-7-64-bit)

If you could update the post when / if you update it i would be grateful.

Very nice, I love this interface more than in Windows 8 because font you choose is simple. But I get a bug about CPU and Disk, it almost appears in Disk. Some process get wrong CPU or Disk like below. I think you already know that.

I run Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I love the Disk and Network in Windows 8 version.

I got the same thing however, in my case, they'd show up then immediately disappear.

    • MSI's 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor gets a big price cut for UK gamers and professionals

      By zikalify · Posted

      MSI's 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor gets a big price cut for UK gamers and professionals by Paul Hill If you’re a gamer in the UK and looking for a monitor to upgrade to then check out the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 31.5 Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor which you can now pick up for just 75% of its recommended retail price. The RRP of this monitor is £1,199, but thanks to this deal, you can get it for just £898.99 for a limited time (purchase link down below). With its 4K display, 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms GTG, you’ll have the edge over other gamers by avoiding lag. At 31.5-inches, it’s the ideal monitor size if you’re sitting up close to it at a desk, you don’t want it too big at such a short range, but you also want to be able to see all the image details so 31.5-inches is a good balance. What makes QD-OLED stand out? There are loads of terms used to describe displays such as AMOLED, OLED, LED, and it can all get a bit confusing. This monitor adds yet another acronym called QD-OLED, which stands for Quantum Dot OLED. For you as a buyer, this means your new monitor has self-emitting pixels that deliver great black levels. It also features an enhanced sub-pixel arrangement for extra sharpness. The 31.5-inch 4K UHD monitor has a 3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution making it ideal for playing games, but also watching movies in the best quality. Other important features worth mentioning are the 1.07 billion colors (10-bit) that the monitor can produce, its 99% DCI-P3 support, and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. All of these things make the monitor produce more accurate colours, potentially making it a good choice for professionals editing videos and photos too. Obviously, games will look good too. MSI has also packed in a fanless graphene heatsink which should help to increase the durability of the monitor long-term. This could extend the time until you need to buy a new monitor, further justifying its almost £900 price tag. Gaming and productivity features It’s not just the hardware that makes this monitor excel for gaming, it also comes with great software enhancements and connectivity options. On the software side, you get the following features: Smart Crosshair: Projects a customizable crosshair onto the screen to improve hip-fire accuracy and iron sights in first-person shooter games. Optix Scope: Gives you a built-in aim magnifier with multi-stage zooming and shortcut keys to quickly switch magnification levels. AI Vision: This automatically enhances brightness and colour saturation, particularly in dark areas of the screen, making it easier to see enemies hiding in shadows or dark corners. If you have two separate systems you want to connect to the monitor at once, you can do so with this monitor thanks to KVM support. You can view both sources with Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes. The MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 31.5 Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor also supports next-gen consoles with features like HDMI CEC Profile Sync, HDMI Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and 4K:4K downscaling. In terms of connectivity and ergonomics, you get DisplayPort 1.4a, 2x HDMI 2.1 (CEC), USB Type-C with 90W power delivery, and a USB hub. The monitor uses a tilt-, swivel- & height-adjustable stand that is VESA compatible. Should you buy this monitor? The MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 31.5 Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor is definitely a product for serious gamers looking for top-tier visual fidelity and performance or content creators who need accurate colours and high resolution. Even with the significant discount, it’s still at a premium price and definitely not for everyone. If you are in one of the groups mentioned, then you should give serious consideration to buying the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 31.5 Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor as it's the lowest price the monitor has been at on Amazon to date. MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 31.5 Inch 4K Gaming Monitor: £898.99 (Amazon UK) / RRP £1,199 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      By +MrElectrifyer · Posted

      Hmm, I have been setting folder colors in Teams as we got more and more clients, but they never synced to File Explorer on my Surface Pro 7+. So, all this while, thought the feature wasn't available yet. Guess it'll need to be changed via the SharePoint website for it to sync to File Explorer. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

      A script doesn't care if your book is written by AI or not, so, not sure how that changes anything. They'll just be further advertising your work in such. As for AGI, not sure how using AI in writing a book suddenly equates to me supporting AGI replacing everyone in the workplace. Either way, if such does happen, I'll just carry on with community services, AGI replacing such roles only speeds up the spreading of the message...
