  1. An unknown app appeared on Windows 11 after KB5041169 update


    A new Windows 11 update added an app that can't be opened, uninstalled, or even viewed on the Microsoft Store. It's called "Continue from Phone" and when going to App settings by right-clicking it on the Start menu, it's called "Windows Feature Experience Pack". I could use a third-party uninstaller but is it safe to remove it?

    :)

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond An unknown app appeared on Windows 11 after KB5041169 update :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular Microsoft Apps

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:
