DefenderUI is a free program for Microsoft’s Windows operating system that helps users manage Microsoft Defender, the default security application on the system, better. Managing Microsoft Defender is not a straightforward process. Microsoft moved many options to the Settings application. The nested approach makes it difficult and time consuming to manage Defender. Many options and features are not accessible via the Windows Defender Security Center, they need to be managed via the Registry, Group Policy, or PowerShell instead. DefenderUI offers a configuration interface for all-things Microsoft Defender. The program is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11, and uses a profile-based approach to security. It lists security profiles on first run that users select as a base configuration.

Windows 11 brings a slew of new features , some of which have not been well received among users. If you look at the previous iteration, it also had some unwelcome changes such as the Photos app, which replaced the Windows Photo Viewer. The Photos App isn’t bad at all, in fact it comes with a built-in Video Editor, and I think it is quite useful. The main reason why people do not like the Photos app is due to its performance. It is rather sluggish to open, it takes an extra second or two to load, even when you are trying to view images which are just a few KB in size. The interface may appear slightly confusing, if you are coming over from Photo Viewer. Well, if you like the simplicity of the legacy application, you are probably going to be disappointed to hear that Windows 11 does not include Photo Viewer by default. You can verify this by selecting any image and right-clicking on it. Select the “Open With” menu item and click on “Choose Another App”. Click the “More Apps” option a...

Search on Windows 11 has not changed all that much when compared to Windows 10. That’s not really a reason to rejoice, considering that Windows 11 users may run into the same search related issues as their Windows 10 counterparts. What those are? Apart from quality issues that may result in the wrong files being returned when you search, it is also quite common to run into performance related issues. Search indexing is on by default, and the search indexer runs regularly to index new or changed files. Search indexing scans all folders that are set for indexation by Windows. It records all new files, changed files and removed files, and updates the index accordingly. The index is used to return files based on their names, content and other parameters. This guide walks you through the steps of configuring search indexing on Windows 11. You may use it to troubleshoot issues that you have, for instance by making sure that certain folders do get indexed, or by removing folders from index...

Microsoft started the roll out of the PC Health Check application to Windows 10 PCs running Windows 10 version 2004 or newer. The application is installed automatically on devices as part of the Windows Update KB5005463. Microsoft released an updated version of the PC Health Check application recently. The initial version was pulled by Microsoft because it did not provide essential information. PC Health Check is designed to provide compatibility information to users. The app checks if the Windows PC meets the system requirements of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. The application provides other key information, including information about a device’s battery and storage capacity, startup time, Windows Update, and backup & sync. ADVERTISEMENT Microsoft published a support page on its website that offers additional information on the installation. This update installs the PC Health Check application onto Windows 10,version 2004 and later devices. However, we will n...

In this guide, we are going to walk you through the steps of verifying that your Windows 11 computer is activated. Many Windows 11 systems are activated by default; this is the case when a PC with Windows 11 pre-installed was bought, or when a device was upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, if the Windows 10 device was activated. Upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11 are free . Still, it happened in the past that previously activated devices were not activated anymore. Personalization options are locked on Windows 11 devices that are not activated, this is one way of noticing that something is not right. The following changes are made by Windows 11 if a system is not activated: Some Personalization options are locked. The Settings app displays an Activation notificaton. A Activate Windows 11 watermark is added to the desktop. Windows 11 displays prompts to activate the operating system frequently. Windows 11 users have several options to find out if their Windows 11 licen...

When Microsoft unveiled Windows 11 , one thing that surprised users was support for Android apps. Up until now, the only way for users to run Android apps in Windows, was to use third-party solutions such as the Bluestacks emulator. Naturally, many users were eagerly anticipating the feature to arrive when the new operating system shipped, but it wasn’t to be. There were delays in the development cycle, and support for mobile apps was pushed back, in order to focus on stabilizing the core functionality of the OS. A few days ago, Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 build for participants in the Insider Preview Program’s Beta Channel. While that is good news, there are a couple of caveats here. For starters, it is only available in the US region. The second requirement is a US-based Amazon account, because that’s what Windows 11 uses to download and install Android apps. ADVERTISEMENT If you are in the U.S., head to the Microsoft Store to download the Amazon AppStore app. For th...
