  1. Windows 11 Taskbar requires multiple clicks to bring up window


    Sometimes when I have a opened window that is hidden behind other applications and I try to click the application icon on the taskbar to bring it to the front, the background of the icon on the taskbar will just turn orange/red and just do nothing. I need to click it like 3-5 times to get the window to be brought to the front.I didn't had this problem during Windows 11 Beta and the early stages after the first stable release of Windows 11. This problem has been happening for months and it is making Windows 11 a pain to work on.Am I the only one having this issue?

    :)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
