    Here is an odd one


    Windows 11 24H2 26100.2033Here's an odd one, has anyone else seen this, or know why this happens?Ok I am "old school" and still have a DVD drive attached. I have several folders on my desktop that I created as well as some Windows generated icons.Whenever I click one on one of my folders, why does my DVD activity light start blinking?It doesn't happen on Windows generated desktop icons, but only when I click on a folder that I made.Any ideas?

    :)

    Galaxy Designs Mysterious GeForce GTX 460 2 GB Card with Mini-PCIe Onboard

    How very weird of them... this is truely odd IMO.

    would be nice to see a list from them of suggested products, or even bundle the card with products that are right for it, like a killer NIC, wifi card, phsyx card, SSD etc.

    W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

    I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:
    1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
    2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
    3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
    4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
      1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
      2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection
    My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?

    Here is an odd one

    Pick the odd tile out

    Greetings
    I have a bit of an odd one, it involves icons related to a Microsoft app, specifically "To do".

    Here is an odd one 276428d1587942238t-pick-odd-tile-out-odd-one-out.png

    If i have done this right you should see a image of my live tile menu (Start Menu) and should see the odd one out here.
    This is not a life and death issue as the app itself works perfectly fine but I am wondering what's it about?
    Is this grey monotone the new icon or what?
    I tried first updating it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I even looked at rebuilding the icon cache database but as I had missing parts to the steps involved and putting those steps required registry changes, it seemed a lot of risk and effort to change a color of an icon
    Maybe a few of you sharper minds know what is what
    Cheers
