e71 homescreen

This question is no biggie I guess...but I've got to ask...

The "to do list" icon does not appear on my homescreen. I did it the right way, ticked the box and all..it just isn't there:smileysad: any suggestions? TNX

 

changing Homescreen options

I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:





Do the following to change it:

Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:





A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:





Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:





Click Stop protecting:





Confirm:





That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.

 

No predictive text

Hi



Welcome to Microsoft community.

If predictive text is not working on your Windows 11 system despite being enabled, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue. Predictive text, also known as text suggestions, can enhance your typing efficiency, so it's understandable why you'd want it functioning properly. Here are some steps to try:

Verify Predictive Text Settings

First, ensure that the predictive text settings are correctly configured:

• Go to Settings > Time & language > Typing.
  
• Check the settings under Text Suggestions. Ensure that "Show text suggestions as I type" is turned on for the keyboard you are using (hardware or software).
  
• If you're using a physical keyboard, make sure "Show text suggestions as I type on the hardware keyboard" is also enabled.
  

Language Support

Predictive text features might be limited or unavailable for certain languages. Ensure that the language you're typing in is fully supported:

• Go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region.
  
• Check if the language you're using is installed and set as the default Windows display language. Predictive text has better support for some languages, so if you're using a less common language, this could be the issue.
  

Update Windows

Ensure your Windows 11 system is up to date. Microsoft frequently releases updates that can fix issues and improve system functionality:

• Go to Settings > Windows Update.
  
• Click on Check for updates and install any available updates.
  

Keyboard Driver Update

If you're using a hardware keyboard, ensure that its drivers are up to date:

• Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
  
• Expand the Keyboards category, right-click on your keyboard, and select Update driver.
  
• Choose "Search automatically for drivers" and follow the prompts.
  

Troubleshoot Hardware Issues

If you're using an external keyboard, try disconnecting and reconnecting it or try a different USB port. If possible, test with another keyboard to rule out hardware issues.

Reset Keyboard Settings

Resetting your keyboard settings might help if the issue is due to a misconfiguration:

• Go to Settings > Time & language > Typing.
  
• Scroll down and look for a reset option for typing settings. Note: This step may vary based on updates and the specific version of Windows 11.
  

Check for Software Conflicts

Sometimes, other software installed on your system can interfere with typing features. Consider any recent software installations that might coincide with the issue starting and try temporarily disabling or uninstalling to test. Perform a clean boot.

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.

The effectiveness of predictive text can also depend on the context and the specific application you're typing in. Some apps might have their own settings for text predictions or might not fully support Windows' predictive text feature.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.
