Costs money but works with only minor quirks when switching between iGPU and dGPU.

just saying, if I have to install some sketchy software to restore functionality that has existed on the platform flawlessly for almost four decades then it's not a viable platform anymore.

I'm not defending Microsoft but to say that Stardock is sketchy has no base in reality.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

oh I know stardock. they've been around in some way shape or form since windows 98.

my point is, I shouldn't have to install anything to restore functionality.

This is handy for home users, but at work I am stuck. Installing third party software is not allowed.

I was briefly a star at work when all of the terminals updated to Win 11. I was the only dude that knew how to move the start button back to the lower left corner.

It is lost technology… only the powerful ancients could accomplish such.

Or those familiar with the dark arts.

Luckily, someone has got an actual solution. Check out WindHawk. I use it to run a vertical taskbar.

Dont care, its where the task bar should go, and I should be able to configure it.
