W11 - Ping from startbar

Hi,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

The ping command does not work correctly when you invoke it from the Start Menu on Windows 11. It is not sending the arguments, only the ping command, making the window open and close instantly.

Another option to use it easily is from the "Run" dialog, which can be invoked using the shortcut Windows + R. Typing the ping command + the arguments, works as expected.

 

Startbar doesn't work upon wake

Upon waking my pc from sleep, the startbar stops working. Nothing happens when I click the windows icon in the bottom left(on startbar). I am forced to restart my pc.

If the startbar is working upon wake, sometimes I cannot connect to wifi. Although it is set to 'connect automatically', every time that I need to connect, I have to do it manually. To connect manually, I have to click the up arrow on the start bar to show
hidden icons. When I click on the wifi connection icon, nothing happens. I'm able to open other programs in this task tray, but clicking on the wifi icon does nothing.

I'm asking for help, because I think it's ridiculous to have to restart my computer every time my startbar stops working or I can't open my wifi connections.
