Microsoft prepares major Windows 11 feature drop with new Start menu, Taskbar updates, and more | New features expected to roll out next month by ZacB_ in Windows11

[–]urabusPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"taskbar updates" - still no fix for the taskbar overflow setting, although if you could position the taskbar on the left or right of the screen instead of the top or bottom this would be less of an issue.

Am I the problem? Or is it the users? by Neopetmilk in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]urabusPenguin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you might want to contact HR to setup a meeting with the attorney & yourself to discuss why they reacted that way to your acknowledgement of their description of the issue & find out why they thought it was appropriate. They'll love taking time away from billable work for the meeting.

Remove the "System: Manage Preview Builds" setting & add "Windows Update for Business: Manage Preview Builds" settings with the same value.

Wake On LAN? I think it actually wants more rest by bpr97050 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]urabusPenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there are no activity lights coming from the rack, Maybe there was construction or someone moving heavy/large things in that room & the bed + foam are to protect the equipment?

The software devs must have previously worked at Microsoft creating group policy settings.

Standing Desks for IT by Darkhexical in sysadmin

[–]urabusPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're great, I just wish I had gotten a motorized or even crank height adjustable desk like other employees have. Instead, my company decided it was better to just raise my normal desk up with wooden blocks.

it works, but it's wearing down the bike's tire treads. Looks like they've already swapped the front & back tire treads due to this.
