    I would be deathly afraid to run Winaero Tweaker on Windows 11 even though it says it's supported. Anybody try it yet? I mean, this is a DEV-channel build and there are....you know....bugs in there. :eek::cautious:

    Not everything works even on Windows 10. For example, the disable Windows Media Player add to playlist context menu even on Windows 10 doesn't work. The Shoy battery time remaining instead of percentage only doesn't work so I have separate reg files for those that I run after doing the tweaks from Winaero. Ya gotta try and experiment if you have the patience that is.

    I did inform the developer on Twitter about this but he doesn't care. All he cares about is posting Microsoft Edge version numbers of every update. His Twitter account needs to be renamed to @MSedgeupdates :rolleyes:

    Winaero Tweaker 1.30 Released (July 30, 2021)
    Winaero Tweaker 1.30 is here, allows you to move Windows 11 taskbar, and more!
    Download
    New features
    • You can add Task Manager to the Desktop context menu (this works in all supported Windows versions).
    • You can add Group Policy to the Desktop context menu (in all supported Windows versions).
    • You can add "Restart Explorer" to the Desktop context menu in all supported Windows versions.
    • Added two new tools:
      • You can create desktop shortcuts to Shut down, Restart, Hibernate and Sleep actions in all Windows versions. Save your time using such shortcuts. For "shut down", you can create both the full shut down shortcut (turns off the OS without the hibernation data, next start is cold start) and hybrid shut down shortcut (next start will be done with Fast Startup).
      • If you tray icons (notification area/taskbar corner overflow) look broken, you can now reset their cache using Winaero Tweaker.
    • Windows 11: Added a number of improvements to the "Classic Taskbar" feature. After enabling it, you can quickly turn on the clock, network, and sound icons. There is a link for that.
    • Windows 11: Added a dedicated option to restore the Ribbon in File Explorer.
    • Windows 11: You can now move the taskbar to the top, left or right side of the screen. The left and right side taskbar is still half-baked, as Microsoft doesn't officially support the taskbar moving.
    Fixes
    • Fixed Windows 10 version 21H2 detection. It was reported as 21H1.
    • Fixed the context menu\ remove default entries\ pin to start removal. The "Pin to Start" command was only removed for files. Now it also disappears for folders.
    • Fixed the Shell Folder shortcut option. Once you create a shell folder shortcut, the option used to appear in the "Recently changed" list. That's wrong; this doesn't change anything on your computer.

    Windows 11 is designed to be backward compatible with Windows 10. Microsoft lied when it said its a brand new operating system. If it was, half the things in Windows 11 should be broken. They aren't.

    Here here. Agree wholeheartily. It's nowhere near NEW per say. Just some window dressings to 10. Many not options either but embedded.
