Doing win+comma and putting your cursor in the bottom right perform the same desktop "peek" action and i was trying to point out that the mouse version was more widely known.


jesus WEP posted:

if you hover over it it does the desktop "peek" if you click it it does show desktop which is also win+d. the desktop peek has questionable value and the desktop peek keyboard shortcut even more so.

Maybe its an accessibility thing to allow easy keybinding of the desktop peek via assistive software.

it's really getting ridic how much poo poo needs to be disabled/tweaked to properly shrink and secure the surface area of an M365 tenancy. my favourite example is from the AU DTA Protected Utility Blueprint re some poo poo called "Viva Learning": https://desktop.gov.au/blueprint/office-365.html#viva-learning (tl;dr: big time disable mode).

I installed windows 11 from a french only installation media, then downloaded and tried to change the system language to english. the result was a bizarre mix of french and english. sometimes the heading is in one language and the subtitle in another


e: Personalisation -> Taskbar crashes the settings app. nice stuff.

Yep, it's totally fine to keep ignoring the updates. In fact, it's preferable. Thankfully my aging windows box doesnt support it and so i don't get nagged to update
