This change allows Braille devices using Windows 11 to continue to work when switching between Windows’ Narrator and third party screen readers, with Narrator now gaining the ability to automatically change Braille drivers. You’ll need to make some configuration changes, see the Windows Insider blog post for more.
OneDrive storage alert and subscription management comes to Settings
Similar to Microsoft 365 subscription management options available in Settings, with this new build you’ll be able to view billing, payment method, and OneDrive storage usage within Settings for OneDrive Standalone 100GB subscriptions. The page will also notify you if you are close to or above your OneDrive storage limit. This feature begins rolling out today, but as usual Microsoft will “monitor feedback and see how it lands” before pushing it out to everyone on the Dev Channel.
Local Administrator Password Solution
Microsoft is bringing the legacy “Local Administrator Password Solution” (or LAPS) to Windows natively with this new build. A number of new features have been added to LAPS, although “feature documentation is not yet available.” Check the blog post for more.
If you’re on the Windows 11 Dev Channel, be sure to download and install this latest build and let us know what you think in the comments below.
Yesterday we informed you about some nasty VPN and RDP connectivity problems on Windows Servers with Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) enabled.
These problems started happening after the latest updates from the Patch Tuesday rollout were installed by users.
Today, however, we come back with some Windows Server-related news, but more on the bright side this time, so you should be pleased.
Windows Server 2022 now works with WSL 2 distros
To be more exact, Microsoft has announced that Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2 distros now work on Windows Server 2022.
The Redmond tech giant allowed earlier testers to try the feature via GitHub almost a month ago, so people already knew about it.
That being said, since the KB5014678 update rolled out, all Windows Server 2022 users have received this most recent feature as well.
On the off chance you still need to update your system to get WSL 2 support on your Windows Server, just make sure that you installed KB5014678.
Thus, once this cumulative update has been applied to your Windows Server, you are ready to kick things off and use WSL.
Don’t worry, this is a simple process, but if you need more help getting it installed, Microsoft has prepared a special docs page that will also give you more links to get started with.
Also note that, if you have any technical issues, Microsoft asks that you report them on the WSL GitHub repository.
Have you already used WSL 2 distros on your Windows Server 2022? Share your experience with us in the comments section below.
Most companies widely accept digital signatures as the preferred document approval option. This is because of their high-security level, which eliminates the risk of tampering.
Hence, they are employed in contracts, invoices, and proposals. You can use Adobe Acrobat to create digital signatures just like they are used to create fillable PDFs with an electronic signature.
This guide will show you how to create this vital document, sign a PDF file, and create a signature field with Adobe Acrobat.
What is a digital signature identity?
A digital signature is a unique signature supported by a digital certificate. This signature provides lasting proof of your identity.
Digital signatures are probably the most secure type of e-signature, thanks to being bound by cryptography to the signed document.
How do I enable signature in PDF?
Open a PDF file and click the Sign document icon at the top of the page.
Select the Add Signature option.
Select whether to Type, Draw, or use an Image as your signature.
Click the Apply button and position the signature well in your PDF file.
How do I create a digital signature identity in Adobe?
Select the Preferences option followed by signature.
Click on More in the Identities and Trusted Certificates section.
Choose Digital IDs followed by the Add ID icon.
Tick the radio for A new digital ID I want to create now and click Next.
Select a file location to store your digital ID. Note that you can use the New PKCS #12 Digital ID file interchangeably on Windows and Mac, while the second option is for Windows alone.
Click the Next button.
Fill in the identity information to create your digital signature ID and click Next.
Choose a location to store the digital ID file and create a password.
Finally, click the Finish button to complete the process.
How do I add a digital signature field to a PDF?
Open a PDF and select More Tools from the side menu.
Choose the Prepare Form option under the Forms & Signatures segment.
Click Start when asked to select a document to begin.
Click the Pen icon at the top to add a digital signature field.
You will see a blue signature field when you move your mouse back into your document.
Click on the space where you want to add the field. This will display a yellow box asking you to enter a field name.
Enter the name of the person you want to sign and click on any space to the side of the signature field.
Finally, press Ctrl+ Skeys to save your document.
The digital signature identity is a secure and efficient way to verify and keep documents safe online. And we have proved that they are easy to create and implement with the right tools.
Michael Pick apparently believes in the credo “go big or go home.” He is known for his larger than life creations, which also include a massive 12.5 foot long, 200 lbs. NERF gun that shoots 50 mph darts, as well as a giant Nintendo Switch console.
His latest project is a 6.5-feet-tall, 3.4-feet-wide, 250 lbs. Xbox Series X console, which is 600% bigger than the retail Series X and fully functional. It is officially the largest Xbox of an kind ever made, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Pick teamed up with fellow YouTuber ZHC to further customize the giant Xbox Series X.
You may recall that Microsoft itself made a Xbox Series X fridge, which was later given away as part of its Xbox Series X|S promotion. A retail Xbox mini-fridge was also produced, which you can still buy today if you simply must have one. Apparently Pick was inspired by the original Series X refrigerator, but instead of building his own functional Xbox fridge, Pick built a functional fridge-sized Xbox.
Pick will be donating the giant Xbox Series X to the YMCA Youth and Teen Development Center in Atlanta, GA.
Microsoft Edge is one of the modern browsers for Windows 11 that are fast and secure. It is a different proponent from the old Internet Explorer (IE), representing most good things in the latest browsers.
However, it has a feature that allows you to reload websites in its old browser mode. This feature helps you load ancient sites yet to catch up with some of the latest browser’s properties.
Unfortunately, some users have complained that allowing sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode is missing on Edge.
This guide will take you through surefire ways of restoring and enabling the feature for different versions of Edge.
How do I enable sites to be reloaded to Internet Explorer mode?
1. Enable from Edge settings
Open Microsoft Edge and click the menu button (three horizontal dots) at the top right corner.
Select the Settings option.
Choose Default Browser on the left pane.
Click the dropdown in front of Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode.
Select the Allow option.
Now, click the Restart button to effect the change.
Sometimes it is not that allowing sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode is missing on Edge. Instead, the feature is not working because you have not enabled it.
Ensure to restart your browser immediately after enabling it to make it work.
2. Enable from Group Policy Editor
Press the Windowskey + R to open the Run utility.
Type gpedit.msc and press the Enterkey.
Click the User Configuration option on the left plane.

After installing the MSI Afterburner, you may notice that MSI Afterburner core voltage is locked. Some unsupported desktop GPU models require a temporary fix to have voltage control and work in the MSI Afterburner.
Unlocking the voltage control on MSI Afterburner is limited to +100 modified boosts allowable. Try using modified BIOS with a high base voltage to allow the voltage control to use the remaining 100mV of excess voltage in MSI Afterburner, permitting it to be the primary OC utility. Also, if you don’t want to do extreme overclocking, it should be limited to +100mV.
How do I unlock voltage control on MSI Afterburner?
First, go to the MSI Afterburner Profiles folder.
Right-click on the named file VEN_10DE&DEV… (it’s a .cfg file).
Select Properties.
Click on Security.
Select Edit and click on Users.
Check the Allowpermission boxes.
Click OK and OK again to save the file after editing it.
You can now open the file named VEN_10DE&DEV… in WordPad and replace what you see with the following lines: [Startup] Format=2 CoreVoltageBoost= PowerLimit= ThermalLimit= ThermalPrioritize= CoreClkBoost= MemClkBoost= [Settings] VDDC_Generic_Detection=1
Go to MSI Afterburner Settings, check the Unlock voltage control and Unlock voltage monitoring, and click OK.
Can I increase the core voltage of the MSI Afterburner?
Increasing core voltage comes with more risks than benefits. It increases the heat output of the GPU and draws current. In addition, you can permanently damage it if you exceed limits.
There’s a little chance of 5% for the MSI afterburner when trying to force constant voltage.
This is because the MSI has a self-overclock feature to regulate core voltage. So it either works or crashes at a certain point.
How do I lower my core voltage MSI Afterburner?
You can use the MSI Afterburner with the benchmark if you can’t adjust the core voltage.
Download and install a benchmarking app, for instance, Heaven Benchmark, and remember to deselect the fullscreen option from the Settings menu.
It’s easier to tweak GPU settings simultaneously in Windows mode.
How can I change the core voltage in MSI Afterburner?
Modify vBIOS Core Voltage to 100mV below the suggested max voltage for your GPU.
You can flash the bios; some GPUs must be flashed to be unlocked.
Go to check boxes in the settings for Voltage control and Voltage monitoring to change core voltage.
You should also note that increasing your boost clock and voltage will lead to higher load temperature because you’ve switched from the default voltages and clocks.
How do you use core voltage?
You can use the core voltage of devices to increase the clock speed, balance power draw, and reduce heat to operate in higher frequencies.
If things still don’t work out, you may want to look at our list, including the best overclocking utilities, and use a better alternative.
If you don’t want to fine-tune your settings, you can constantly adjust the power limit in Afterburner to overclock your GPU.

Microsoft is preparing to launch mouse and keyboard support for its xCloud game steaming service. It was reported back in March that mouse and keyboard support was at last going to be implemented, when head of the Microsoft Flight Simulator Project Jorg Neumann stated during a developer Q&A:
The next step for us is mouse [and] keyboard…This is platform-level support, so it has nothing to do with us. Obviously, mouse and keyboard works for our sim. So the platform team is working on this. I know I can’t give a date because it’s the platform team. I don’t know their dates, but it’s coming.
Once implemented, the feature will allow PC gamers using Xbox Cloud Gaming to play cloud streamed games with mouse and keyboard, or at least for those Xbox games which support it (Xbox is set to expand its xCloud game library sometime later this year).
Additionally, Microsoft is working on ways to help game developers improve latency, such as improvements to its Direct Capture tool. Morgan Brown, a software engineer on Xbox’s game streaming team, went into further detail in the video below explaining the latency improvements in store for Xbox Cloud Gaming.
He also confirmed what Neumann hinted at earlier this year, saying “Xbox has been supporting keyboard and mouse for a few years now, and we’re working on adding it to streaming for PC users. He added “But you can start adding it to your game right now and your console keyboard and mouse users will appreciate it. It will light up in streaming once we’ve finished adding it.”
These latency improvements along with the upcoming Xbox Cloud Gaming mouse and keyboard support, will help to make xCloud a much more viable gaming option for many PC gamers.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, popular as Amazon S3, is a storage service that uses a web interface to provide a storage object.
The Amazon S3 storage object can store different types and sizes of data ranging from applications to data archives, backups, cloud storage, disaster recovery, and much more.
The service is scalable, and users only pay for the storage space.
The Amazon S3 has four storage classes based on availability, performance rates, and durability. The classes include the Amazon S3 Standard, Amazon S3 Standard Infrequent Access, Amazon S3 One Zone-infrequent Access, and the Amazon Glacier.
Can Amazon S3 upload a resume on failure?
The Amazon S3 can resume a failed upload. Also, if your system goes off in the middle of an upload, the Amazon S3 can continue the upload once your system is back on without a restart.
What is the max file size that we can upload to S3?
The Amazon S3 can store files or data of different sizes between 0 bytes and 5 gigabytes. However, the maximum file size that can be uploaded to the S3 at once is 5 gigabytes.
You can upload files larger than 5 gigabytes using the multipart upload API, with which you can upload files as large as five terabytes to the S3.
How can I upload large files to S3 from the browser?
Split the file into different parts using the dd, Linux, or split method.
Launch the multipart upload and get an upload ID once it is launched.
Upload each part of the file, followed by the upload ID and the part number.
Conclude the upload by submitting the ETag pairs, including the upload ID and let number for each part of the file.
You might experience a network error while uploading files to the S3. Some common S3 network errors you could come across are:
Unable to connect to the endpoint.
Missing credentials.
S3 API returned an error.
Here’s how you can fix these errors once and for all:
What can I do if the S3 upload fails due to a network error?
1. Fix unable to connect to endpoint
First, check to ensure you’re using the correct AWS region and Amazon endpoint.
Ensure that your network can connect to the Amazon endpoints.
Confirm that your DNS can resolve to the S3 endpoints.
Check the VPC configuration if you’re using an Amazon EC2 instance and set the correct AWS region.
2. Fix missing credentials
You can get the missing credentials error if the DB cluster is missing the IAMroleattachmentor the role ARNis not given, and only the role name is provided in the parameter group.
The best way to fix this is to load data from the S3 command.
This error could appear either because you have an encrypted file in your S3 bucket or encryption on your S3 bucket.
Either way, this can be fixed by adding kms*to the IAM role you used to perform the LOAD operation if the ServerSideEncryptionConfigurationExists is true.
You can also click here to learn more about S3 uploading. I hope this guide has helped to solve the issue! Please remember to share your thoughts in the section below.
Apple Music is a streaming music service that has been around for a few years. It was initially only limited to the iTunes app and iOS users, but a web player has since been introduced.
The service allows you to listen to all sorts of music from different artists and genres. You can also create playlists and save songs to listen to offline.
The web player looks very similar to the mobile app and lets you browse tracks by album or artist, search for songs or artists, and create playlists. It also has its social features so that you can follow friends and see what they’re listening to.
Is there a web player for Apple Music?
Apple Music is a subscription-based music streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs. However, there are times when it may be more convenient to use the web player instead of the mobile app.
It’s also helpful if you don’t have access to your computer (for example, at work) or want to listen to some tunes while surfing the web on your phone or tablet.
Apple Music subscribers can access their libraries from any web browser. The web player is designed to work on desktop and mobile devices. In addition, we have a dedicated guide on using Apple Music on your browser.
Quick Tip:
Apple Music is built-in into the Opera browser and can be found on the browser’s sidebar, just below the messengers’ area.
The playback may be managed using the conventional playback buttons on the computer keyboard or by hovering over the Player icon in the sidebar, without having to open different tabs or players.
When it comes to selecting the best music streaming application, you may find yourself asking: Is Apple Music better than Spotify?
Like Spotify, Apple Music has both free and paid tiers that allow subscribers to listen to any song they want without ads, but there are some key differences between the two services.
The most significant difference between Apple Music and Spotify is how each service approaches playlists. Both services curate their own playlists based on genre or mood and offer suggestions based on your listening history.
Apple Music may be better for most users because of Lossless audio, which ensures you play your music on the highest audio quality available.
Ultimately, your personal preferences will help you decide which one is superior to the other, but they equally have their strengths and weaknesses.
What are the main features of Apple Music’s web browser-based player?
1. Playlists
You can create new playlists or edit existing ones by adding tracks from the music library or by dragging and dropping them on top of each other in a playlist.
When you create playlists on the web player, you curate your favorite tracks when you’re away from your computer. In addition, playlists are synced across devices, so they appear on your iPhone or iPad too.
2. Radio
One of the biggest advantages of this service is the Radio feature. It allows you to listen to all your favorite genres and discover new ones with little effort on your part. You can create custom radio stations based on artists, albums, or songs you like most.
The Radio feature allows you to discover new music based on loved artists. You can also create stations based on genres or other parameters such as moods or activities like working out.
3. Song sharing
If you find a song or album you like, sharing it with others is easy, thanks to Apple Music’s social networking aspect.
All you need to do is click on the Share button next to any song title and select who you want to share it with from your contacts list or Facebook friends list.
4. Customizable sidebar
The sidebar in the web player lets you view different categories at a glance, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for — whether it’s new releases or top charts.
You can add songs from the sidebar or search for specific artists or albums. Apple Music web player also lets you choose to show or hide the sidebar, its columns and rows, and even its contents.
Can Apple Music play on Chrome?
Yes, you can. Users have asked this very common question since most Apple services tend to be confined to their products.
Whereas many browsers are compatible with the service, you may be wondering what the best way to listen to Apple Music on your PC is.
You can use the web player in your browser, but it’s not very convenient if you want to use other apps while listening.
Alternatively, you can install iTunes for Windows 10 on your computer and sign up for an Apple ID. Apple Music is also available for Windows 11 and Mac computers.
If you are constantly sending out emails rife with spelling and grammatical errors while using Outlook applications and can’t seem to get over it, then Microsoft has something in store for you. The Microsoft Editor extension is now widely available across all Outlook apps, that is, Outlook for Windows, Mac, Web, iOS, and Android with a supported account type.
However, the tool is not available for users using Outlook in a mobile browser or the Mail App for Windows. You can use the tool and all the features it encompasses for all accounts with a consumer, education, business, or enterprise Microsoft 365 subscription.
Microsoft Editor spell checking, and basic grammar checking are available for Outlook.com accounts. Microsoft Editor is not supported for all other account types.
For all the Outlook for Microsoft 365 subscribers, the tool is enabled automatically for those using a default system language that is already supported by Microsoft Editor. This will in return help you to avoid making any grammatical errors while sending emails out using Outlook. Microsoft has also indicated they will be unpacking more Editor enhancements in Outlook in the future.
NVIDIA produces many of the best graphics cards the industry has seen. For years, it has continuously provided GPUs to PC gamers, animators, graphic designers, video editors, and other GPU-intensive professions.
However, you must use a compatible NVIDIA driver on your operating system.
While Windows 11 is adaptable, not all drivers you may have used on other operating systems will work.
Here, we will share the best NVIDIA graphics driver compatible with Windows 11 PCs.
Throughout the history of NVIDIA, they’ve released dedicated drivers for every new Windows OS. The release guarantees that users get the best performance and access to the most recent features on Windows.
Windows 11 is no exception; drivers like NVIDIA Studio and Game Ready continue the trend and provide support for the OS.
What graphics card supports Windows 11?
There is an extensive range of graphic cards that support Windows 11. We love to recommend GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RT 3080 Ti.
For Fall Guy: Free for All, GeForce Game Ready gives the best day-zero gameplay experience.
Additionally, it supports the most recent upgrades and releases, such as the inclusion of NVIDIA Reflex to ICARUS and the addition of beam tracking to JW Evolution 2, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7.
Even though the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) provides approved drivers for individual notebooks, NVIDIA Studio Drivers and Game Ready Drivers can be loaded on compatible notebook GPUs.
Finally, NVIDIA suggests that you verify with your laptop manufacturer for needed software upgrades.
While operating using creative applications, NVIDIA Studio Drivers give creators, artists, and 3D developers the highest dependability and performance.
Studio Drivers are rigorously tested against multi-application creator processes and numerous industry-leading creative programs. So, from Autodesk to Adobe and beyond, you get the most significant degree of reliability.
Also, NVIDIA Studio Driver supports Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI v6.1, Adobe Substance Modeler Beta, Marmoset Toolbag 4.04, DaVinci Resolve 18, and Reallusion iClone 8.
Lastly, the Omniverse Machinima, Omniverse Audio2Face, Omniverse spanning Omniverse Cloud, and the Omniverse XR App beta are all supported by this NVIDIA Studio Driver.
The NVIDIA RTX Driver’s newest Production Branch release is 515. This new driver outperforms the prior branch in API interoperability, application performance, and power management.
Production Branch drivers are built and trusted to offer protracted availability and stability. As a result, they are perfect for enterprise clients and users who require ISV and OEM hardware and application certification.
Additionally, driver component changes and Bug fixes have been included in this release to boost performance, and it also works with the Windows 11 22H2 OS.
Obduction, NVIDIA VR Funhouse, Raw Data, Everest VR, and The Assembly, the five new Virtual Reality titles debuting for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, are optimized for the latest Game Ready 368.81 WHQL VR drivers.
Patches for Oculus Rift GPU Boost problems and HTC Vive DisplayPort incompatible that have been reported by some customers are also included. Next, open GeForce Experience and select the Drivers option to install.
This driver is evaluated in the cited Game Ready titles, and the findings are disclosed to developers so that they can improve their games and send client-side updates to address any issues discovered.
April’s NVIDIA Studio Driver offers the best compatibility for the most recent creative apps, such as Chaos Vantage, Cinema4D, and Unreal Engine 5.
Also, the new Omniverse Connectors for Redshift and Blender are supported by this Studio Driver.
The GeForce RTX 30 Series (Notebooks), GeForce 10 Series (Notebooks), GeForce GTX 16 Series (Notebooks), and GeForce RTX 20 Series (Notebooks) are all supported by this driver as well.
This set of drivers will give you and other creators the highest level of VR application dependability and performance. And finally, it has been tried and tested in various multi-app creation workflows.
Click on the DRIVERS menu and select ALL NVIDIA DRIVERS.
Scroll down to the Beta, Older Drivers, and More section and select the Beta and Older Drivers option.
Fill out the form to select the driver you want and click the Search button.
Click on any of the drivers from the search result.
Next, click the download button to get the driver and install it on your computer.
In all circumstances, keep in mind that downloading and installing NVIDIA drivers may cause the computer monitor to flash erratically or go dark. This is common because the graphics card is trying out new drivers, which might occasionally produce visual problems.
There you have it; our list of the best Windows 11 NVIDIA drivers.
With the latest graphics driver, you will get patches that increase your graphic card’s functionality and critical updates to previously reported malfunctions.
Note that some users have complained that NVIDIA keeps crashing on Windows 11, but you will be able to fix it and continue to have a great experience in a few clicks.
Lastly, do not forget that if you are downloading or installing older drivers, they may not work on Windows 11. In this case, you will have to use them with an earlier Windows edition.
Bookmarks in Google Chrome are simple to organize and quick to retrieve from inside the browser. Whenever necessary, you may quickly add, remove, and rename bookmarks with only a few mouse clicks. You can also find them inside the chrome bookmarks’ location folder.
On the other hand, if you want to move your bookmarks to a different browser without losing them, you will need to locate the file that contains your bookmarks and copy them by hand unless you use the export option to generate a new file.
Follow along as we will show you how to find the location where Chrome saves your bookmarks on Windows 10, 11, and Mac. Keep on reading!
Are my bookmarks saved in Google Chrome?
Chrome maintains each user’s bookmarks in a single location. Therefore, if you are unable to locate the bookmark file, it is possible that you have the incorrect folder open or that you are in the wrong user path.
You may find it in the same folder every time on every machine. However, depending on the operating system (OS) that is being used, such as Windows 10, 11, or macOS, the folder can be located in a different place.
Quick Tip:
The Opera One browser allows you to mark a link as a favorite and add it to your bookmark list to return to later. The page URL is added to the bookmarks with a single click on the heart icon in the URL bar.
On the Opera One browser, you can manage bookmarks in many ways. Beside bookmarks, the browser, comes with a lot of organizational features, such as workspaces, tab islands and a native AI.
Opera One
It’s so easy to manage bookmarks here since it’s one of the best functions in Opera.
Where do I find my Google Chrome bookmarks folder?
1. In Windows 10
Open a new File Explorer window by typing file explorer inside the Windows search function.
Enter the following path inside the top search bar to find Chrome bookmarks’ location on PC: C:Users\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\Bookmarks
There you will find all the bookmarks that you have saved on your Chrome browser. If you delete them, the bookmarks will also disappear inside Chrome.
For Windows 11, start by opening the Windows Search function and typing File Explorer.
Once you open a new File Explorer tab, go to the following location by copy-pasting it inside the search bar: C:Users\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\Bookmarks
That’s it! Here, you will find all the bookmarks that you have previously saved. You will lose your data inside the browser by deleting the Bookmarks file or the Bookmarks.bak file.
Open Finder and navigate to the following location: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks
There you will find the bookmarks saved on your current user folder. If you wish to discover different bookmarks for different profiles, change the username after the Users folder and before the Library ones.
Your time spent perusing the web is simplified tremendously when you have a collection of bookmarks that has been meticulously organized.
As of now, you can’t change your Chrome bookmarks’ location since it would throw off the entire system and result in an error. However, you may opt to export them to other browses by following the steps below.
When you export your bookmarks, an HTML file is generated. This HTML file may then be imported into various browsers, and all of your bookmarks will be carried across.
You can move them from one Chrome browser to another or even to an entirely new browser if Chrome Sync is not to your liking.
We will walk you through the process of exporting your bookmarks from Google Chrome so that you may import them into another browser of your choice and immediately feel more at home.
Begin by opening Google Chrome on your Windows or Mac and click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
Hover over the Bookmarks option and choose Bookmark Manager.
Next, click on the three-dot menu icon in the top bar and choose Export Bookmarks.
Performing this action will result in the creation of an HTML file that stores all of your bookmarks. You now have the option to select the location in which the file will be saved. After choosing a location, you will have the option to rename the file before clicking the Save button.
Windows includes networking features that enable users to share folders between their PCs via local networks. As a result, sharing a folder on one Windows PC with another can be very convenient.
You can set up shared folders, which can be accessed with different credentials, with Map Network Drive.
What is a mapped network drive?
A mapped network drive points to a shared folder on a user’s local network. Those are drives you can assign letters to that include shared network resources.
You can share a folder between two PCs on a mapped network drive with File Explorer’s Map Network Drive wizard.
Why can’t I access a shared folder with different credentials?
The default Map Network Drive wizard settings configure Windows to connect with shared folders using the PC’s local user account and password.
You can’t access a shared folder with different credentials unless you select Map Network Drive’s Connect using different settings option.
Even with that setting enabled, Windows saves entered credentials for users who select the Remember my credentials option.
Credential Manager saves the shared folder’s login credentials in a vault. Users need to erase saved credentials to access shared folders with different credentials.
How can I access a shared folder with different credentials?
1. Use the Map Network Drive option
Right-click Windows 10’s Start menu button to select File Explorer.
Click This PC on the left side of File Explorer.
Press the Map Network Drive button on the Computer tab to open the window in the snapshot directly below.
Click the Browse button.
Choose a folder you want to share on the Browse for Folder window, and press the OK button.
Then select the Connect using different credentials checkbox.
Press the Finish button. After that, the Windows Security window directly below will open.
Enter the required credentials in the login text boxes. Don’t select the Remember my credentials checkbox if you’ll need to access the shared folder with different credentials at other times.
Press the OK button.
2. Remove saved credentials for the shared folder
To remove saved credentials for a shared folder, bring up the search tool by pressing the Windows and S keys simultaneously.
Type Control Panel within the search box.
Click Control Panel to open that window.
Select the Small icons option on the Control Panel’s View by menu.
Click Credential Manager to open the applet shown directly below.
Then select Windows Credentials to view the saved, shared folder credentials.
Click the Remove from vault option for the saved credentials you need to delete.
You can now enter different shared folder credentials in the Windows Security window.
Click the search button or box on Windows 10’s taskbar.
Type cmd within the search tool to locate the Command Prompt.
Select Command Prompt to open its window.
Input this command within the Prompt’s window: net use * /delete /yes
Press the Enter key to clear the credential’s cache, and wait a few minutes.
Note: This method is for clearing temporarily cached credentials for shared folders. It will save you from restarting Windows to access a shared folder with alternative credentials.
Why can’t I set up a shared folder with Map Network Drive?
If you can’t select a folder to share with Map Network Drive, network discovery is probably disabled. So first, make sure network discovery is enabled in Windows 10. You can enable that feature as follows.
Press the Windows key + I key combination.
Click Network & Internet to open the Status tab.
Then select the Network and Sharing Center shortcut to open the Control Panel applet shown directly below.
Click Change advanced sharing settings on the left side of the applet.
Select both the private and guest Turn on network discovery options.
Press the Save changes button.
So, just make sure you select the Connect using different credentials option when mapping a drive if you need to access a shared drive with different user credentials.
Then you can access the shared folder with different credentials so long as you don’t select the Remember my credentials option.
Users can access a shared folder with different credentials without restarting by clearing temporarily cached user credentials via the Command Prompt.
Issues with connectivity and WiFi can be very frustrating and significantly reduce productivity.
Computers use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for clock synchronization. In most cases, if not all, your laptop uses NTP to track the time.
If you get a server lost contact with an NTP time server error message, read this article to the end to find out how to fix it.
What happens when a router has been set to an incorrect time?
A router’s performance is usually not affected by incorrect time settings, so your connection may not be affected.
However, some issues can occur. These include:
Incorrect time for all gadgets that use the router as a local time server.
The timestamps in the router’s log data will be wrong.
If features are disabled at certain times of the day because of restriction times, these settings will be out of sync with real-time.
How do I change the date and time on my router?
Each router has a web-based interface that you can access on a browser. After logging in with the correct details, you can input the IP address or domain name of your preferred NTP server to obtain the current internet time and effect the time change.
You may also choose to set the time and date manually.
Quick Tip:
In case you’re not exactly that person who’s tech-savvy or you just need a faster method, there are virtual router tools that may help.
A good choice is Connectify Hotspot software because it can transform your PC into a router that shares Hotspot Wi-fi with all the devices in your house.
Type in the following command: ping time.windows.com. Then press enter.
You will get the request timed out message if the time server is down. In this case, you’ll have to switch the server. A recommended alternative custom server is the time.nist.gov time server. For more detailed steps on this, check out this article.

Video popout is a great way to watch videos while doing other work. There are various ways you can use the video pop out feature in Google Chrome, be it through the built-in Picture in Picture mode, or with a dedicated extension.
The interface for the two would be exactly the same. The extension, developed by Google, is made available for users who can’t access or use the built-in method.
So, check both out and choose the desired video pop out method in Google Chrome.
Does Chrome have a popout video player?
Yes, Google Chrome offers both built-in popout video players and an extension for it. The best part about these players is that they can both the repositioned and resized.
So, you can always watch your favorite videos while working on other tabs in Chrome or using a completely different app, with the pop out video feature in Google Chrome. Let’s now walk you through the two ways you can do that.
How do I make videos pop out in Chrome?
1. Use the Picture in Picture mode
NOTE
To use the feature, make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed on the computer or at least Version 70 or later. Also, remember that the feature will not be available on all platforms, but it works seamlessly on major ones like YouTube.
Open the video that you want to view in popout player, right-click on it, and select Picture in Picture. Some users might have to right-click twice to see the option.
Once the popout player opens, you can hold and move to reposition or drag the borders to resize it.
You will also find a Picture-in-Picture icon on the tab that’s using this mode, and hover the cursor over it for more information.
As already discussed, this Picture in Picture mode for video pop out in Google Chrome has several limitations.
It doesn’t work on every website, the functioning isn’t very smooth, and various controls such as changing the volume are missing, but it’s the best we have at the moment. To access these controls, you will have to visit the page where the video was initially being played.
If you are unable to access the Picture in Picture mode through the context menu, as is the case with Chromebook, there’s a dedicated extension for it as well. Let’s find out how you can get it.
Now, type Picture in Picture in the search field, and hit Enter.
Click on the Picture in Picture (by Google) search result.
Click on the Add to Chrome button.
Next, click on Add extension in the confirmation prompt.
Now, whenever you want to play a video in popout video player, just hit Alt + P.
This extension will help everyone launch a pop out video player when on Google Chrome. The interface will be the same as the Picture in Picture mode but the extension helps ensure that the feature reaches maximum Chrome users.
These are all the ways you can open the video pop out feature in Chrome, using the built-in method or an extension. If you don’t want to use this feature, we have a guide on how to disable picture in picture on Windows 11, so be sure to try it.

The full results of these tests will be presented to you in this guide, so make sure to read it entirely to make an informed decision about investing in a Windows 11 capable tablet.
Tip
Editorial tip:
To simplify things even further, it would help to know what elements were considered by our team of experts while making the choices you will see in the list below.
Here are some of the most important aspects that were considered:
➡ Processor capability ➡ TPM chip ➡ Amount of RAM ➡ Display quality ➡ Graphics processing unit power ➡ Hard-drive storage ➡ Design
Considering all the aspects mentioned above will ensure that all of the tablets chosen for this list will offer you a great experience, even though some will be better than others overall.
What to consider when choosing the best Windows 11 tablets
Processor capability
Because nobody wants to barely run Windows 11 on their device, the processor is one of the most important elements to consider when choosing a PC in general, no matter if it’s a desktop, laptop, or tablet device.
The list of products that we created offers you CPU options situated on the entire range of the price spectrum, but we also ensured that the cheapest options are also capable of smooth operations without lagging.
As this is the most important aspect of a new PC capable of running Windows 11, we started our list by presenting the products that use the best tablet CPU on the market at this point, then we explore the medium-range options, and finishing with some state of the art devices when it comes to design.
TPM chip
TPM module PC
The TPM chip capability of your tablet is another incredibly important element, as Microsoft doesn’t allow any devices without this chip to run their new OS.
Even though that might seem to be a curious decision, they chose to enforce this rule as TPM offers your device an unprecedented amount of safety when it comes to Windows-based devices.
No matter what your opinion about this decision is, or how radical it seems, we can all agree that boosting Windows 11 capability to deal with threats is an element that we’ve been waiting for since the previous versions of the OS.
That being said, all the devices presented in this list have been tried and tested to ensure that the TPM chip works optimally, and has absolutely no issue in offering improved system security.
Amount of RAM
The amount of RAM might not be as important as the first two elements described here, but for your device to run Windows 11 optimally, you will need to have at least 4GB available.
Of course, having more RAM will not negatively impact your experience. It will actually improve your system’s capability to run a big number of applications simultaneously.
When it comes to this component, the phrase the more the better applies perfectly, but devices with much more RAM tend to be more expensive, so choosing the right option for you is important.
Display quality
Even though this might seem obvious, the quality of the display on your tablet is another important factor to consider when choosing a good tablet.
Quality doesn’t only mean the crispness of the image (even though that is important as well), but also the
Graphics processing unit power
No matter if you plan on playing games on your tablet or running image processing software, a good GPU is always a good investment.
A good GPU also comes in extremely handy if you want to create art on your tablet, want to edit video footage, or create music from the comfort of your own home.
Even though Windows 11 doesn’t require a specific GPU type or processing power, this component is worth noting especially when investing in a new device, as the investment would be far better suited to be used for the next couple of years.
Hard-drive storage
As in the case of any PC, no matter if it’s the latest gaming PC, a work laptop, or simply a tablet that you use for exploring the web and instant messaging, having a good amount of hard drive space can make a huge difference.
Windows 11 doesn’t require much space to be installed, so the HDD or SSD space will not be affected that much, but it will affect your capability to store information in the long term.
Boot speed comparison SSD/HDD
As you can see from the graph presented above, it is preferable to have an SSD installed instead of an HDD, as the latter is more than 2 times slower when it comes to OS booting times. The same speed rapport applies in other important areas as well, including data processing and data transfer.
Even though user’s needs vary greatly in this department, it is always better to have more space than you require.
Another valid option would be to invest in a tablet without that much amount of HDD or SSD space and then buy an external SSD to store your files. That being said, this option doesn’t prove very functional considering that you’re investing in a tablet, so it is an element worth considering.
Design
Even though the design of your Windows 11 tablet doesn’t come into play when it comes to its capability to run Windows 11, it is still an important element.
As the market has lately seen a wide variety of designs for tablets and other PCs alike, choosing one that fits your needs and also provides the type of functionality you need is your choice to make.
Even though most tablets consist of a touch-enabled screen without any keyboard, as you will see, some laptops that can be used as a tablet, keyboards that can be attached, and even folding touchscreen tablets without any keyboard.
We compiled this list to include most of the variations, thus allowing you to choose the right fit for you, no matter if you want to try the latest design or want a simple tablet.

The System Reserved Partition fat32 or NTFS is a Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 system partition. It is created during a clean install of the respective operating systems. Computers use the Fat32 and NTFS to store files.
The NTFS file system can store individual files of different sizes. However, the system reserved partition for Fat32 cannot store more than 4GB of individual file sizes.
What format is Microsoft Reserved Partition?
The Microsoft System Reserved Partition uses the NTFS format. Its primary purpose is to hold the Boot Configuration Database, Boot Manager Code, and Windows Recovery Environment. It also keeps space for startup files such as the BitLocker Drive Encryption.
Does the EFI partition have to be FAT32?
Computers adhering to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) use the EFI system partition. Most of the time, its capacity is approximately 100MB to 500MB. It contains system utility programs, device driver files, boot loaders, and other data files.
The operating system loads these files at boot time when Windows starts. Therefore, you must format the EFI partition to FAT32. Always remember this when creating the EFI partition. If not, you might get an NTFS error. An example is Windows detected that the EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS when installing Windows OS.
Do you format system reserved partition?
You do not need to format a system reserved partition. As discussed above, these partitions play a crucial role when booting the Windows operating system or even during recovery. If you format the partitions, you will not be able to boot your operating system.
However, if they contain no boot components, you can use Windows disk management tools such as EaseUS Partition Master to format or even delete them.
Which is better, NTFS or FAT?
The most straightforward file system between the two is FAT. However, NTFS comes with increased security and multiple enhancements. So, for system reserved partition, FAT32 or NTFS?
Security: NTFS allows users to set their permissions. FAT comes with only shared permission, creating a FAT security vulnerability.
Fault tolerance: FAT will keep different copies of the files in case of file damage. NTFS repairs the damaged files automatically. This makes NTSA better for System Reserve Partition.
Compression: You can compress your folders and files with NTFS. However, you cannot do the same with the FAT file system.
Compatibility: The FAT file system is compatible with most versions of the Windows OS. The NTFS file system is compatible with Windows XP and later versions of the OS.

Back in 2020, Microsoft seemingly gave lip service to the notion of responsible and regulated facial recognition usage when it publicly pushed for a “common regulatory” framework while internal communications surfaced showing the company pestering the DEA to use its platforms.
Two years later, Microsoft is starting to make good on its continued effort to be more responsible with its facial recognition platforms and announced a new limited Access policy, removing AI classifiers of sensitive attributes and bolstering its investments in fairness and transparency as part of its updates to its Responsible AI Standard.
Effective today, new customers need to apply for access to use facial recognition operations in Azure Face API, Computer Vision, and Video Indexer. Existing customers have one year to apply and receive approval for continued access to the facial recognition services based on their provided use cases.
By introducing Limited Access, we add an additional layer of scrutiny to the use and deployment of facial recognition to ensure use of these services aligns with Microsoft’s Responsible AI Standard and contributes to high-value end-user and societal benefit. This includes introducing use case and customer eligibility requirements to gain access to these services.
In addition, starting June 30, 2022, existing customers will lose access to facial recognition capabilities if their applications are not approved within the year. Businesses looking to continue their access to Microsoft’s facial recognition platforms and services will need to reapply here.
Microsoft will also be retiring facial analysis functions that infer “emotional states and identity attributes such as gender, age, smile, facial hair, hair, and makeup.”
While Microsoft will no longer be feeding the needs of individual companies’ broad access to potentially detrimental facial recognition attributes and functionality, the company does support the broader use for people with disabilities and for use in applications such as Seeing AI.
Microsoft will be providing new tools to help guide companies currently using their buffet of facial recognition features to the more dieted version of resources in the coming months.

Chinese brand Xiaomi is getting into the Windows on ARM space. The company just announced the launch of the Xiaomi Book S.
The new Windows 11-powered 2-in-1 is the latest Windows device from Xiaomi and it looks to be a nice competitor to the Surface Pro X (via Neowin.) Priced at €699, the device is one that Xiaomi claims should “elevate your mobile work experience.”
It sports a 12.4-inch 2560 x 1600 resolution touch screen, tuned to the 16:10 aspect ratio with 500 nits total brightness. As for the CPU, it’s the last-gen Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, which still offers good performance, but not as much as the new 8xc Gen 3 found in the ThinkPad X13s.
Other features onboard include dual 2-watt speakers, and 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front cameras. There’s even support for the Xiaomi Smart Pen, and a magnetically attachable keyboard, with the keyboard not being included in the price. Do note, though, that, unlike the Surface Pro X, this is a Wi-Fi-only device, and there are no cellular options, likely as a cost-cutting measure.
