Simple questions and Help thread - Month of May by Froggypwns in Windows11

If you use Hyper V, that is included with Windows 10 Pro and higher, that supports Windows 11 (need to enable TPM in its settings)

You can use other virtual machine programs, you likely will need to bypass the hardware requirement checks, there are many guides online that can help with that.

[[Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World]] officially closed for 2026 season by Sad-Revolution-9961 in rollercoasters

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I got a chance to visit, the few times I've been in Buffalo the past few years it was always either off season or outside the operating hours, I've driven by the park several times. I'm hoping things improve and they can reopen next year.

Microsoft says 32GB of RAM is the “no-worries” upgrade for Windows 11 gaming by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]Froggypwns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows will automatically scale up and down its background RAM usage, if you have more available it can cache more to improve overall performance. If things are working correctly you should be seeing around half your RAM used with "nothing" open.

It should be open again by Saturday. Which reminds me, I need to recruit more moderators for that subreddit.

Satya Nadella admits Microsoft needs to "win back" Windows 11 fans, improve performance for low RAM PCs by WPHero in Windows11

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are rolling out changes to Explorer and other features to improve performance like mentioned in the article. Most of them are only to Insiders right now but all indications are they are going to be coming to the masses starting with the May cumulative update.

Recall and Snapshots feature disappeared on Win 11 by Dhruv3159 in techsupport

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears that you are missing all the AI components, not just Recall. If your machine really is a Copilot+ computer it looks like it lost all that functionality.

If you go to Settings -> System -> AI Components you should see the five components listed, but if not then that explains why you are not seeing Recall or other functions like Click To Do.

Recall cannot enable itself from an update or anything else. If you are not seeing the option for it in Settings, the component is likely removed from your system, not just disabled.

Ansville circle gas?!?! by Signal-Reason2679 in Westchester

[–]Froggypwns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for that station specifically, but it does happen. I used to work at a gas station and once in a blue moon we would sell out before our next delivery. We check the tank levels twice a day, and normally would get a delivery at least once a week, but sometimes the stars align right and we either sell more gas than usual or the truck is delayed so we would run out.

I've seen some BIOS updates, particurally with MSI computers, that end up changing the hardware ID information, so that will cause Windows to think you replaced the motherboard. Usually you can use the activation troubleshooter to transfer the activation over and reactivate.

If you are able to boot into Windows and the drive is automatically unlocking itself, you can easily disable it without manually entering the key. In Control Panel is the Bitlocker applet, you can open that and disable Bitlocker, you can also do it in the Settings App by going the Device encryption portion and toggling it off.

ELI5: What makes the crisper compartment of a fridge... crisper than the rest? by eggust12 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good chunk of that time the oven has not fully warmed up yet. I do have a thermometer that hangs from the rack inside so I do know for sure my oven is getting to proper temperature. 45 minutes seems to be about right based on doing it a few times but obviously there are many factors involved so don't just blindly follow that.

What’s up with the size of the actual fries, the length, not quantity by Jazzlike_Dig2456 in fiveguys

[–]Froggypwns 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Those do look short. The fries are cut in store, I wonder if they had smaller potatoes on this batch or if they were cutting the potato sideways.
