You are all heard about the Windows 11 releases and updates. Windows 10 was released 5 years ago. So lots of Windows lovers very excited to use the new Windows 11 for a long time.

Now That time comes. Here We Go…

Microsoft officially revealed Windows 11 on the 25th Of June. They are planned to release a stable version of Windows 11 this year-end. In this case, They have shared their first Windows11 Insider Preview build to the Dev channel on June 28.

So In this blog, I am planning to share the problems I faced with this preview build of the new Windows 11.

As a member of the Windows insider program Since Windows 7 released, I usually update the preview build versions. In this way, I updated to Windows 11 build version also.

Aesthetically and technically the Windows 11 is really amazing. It is truly worth updating from windows 10. But in this blog, We will not be going to discuss new features of Windows 11. Because there are lots of blogs and videos that explain about new features of Windows 11. So We are going to look at Windows 11(22000) Problems and Suggestions. I felt these changes are required.

First We are looking for Problems,

Profile picture not showing In Microsoft Store.

In New Microsoft Store, There is no profile picture in my account Icon even I have a Profile picture in My account even after several refreshes.

Sometimes Weather Shows the wrong location.

The location shows the wrong city instead of mine. It keeps showing random cities in my country.

Windows Security Virus & Threat Protection / Sample submission is turned off after every reboot.

Every time I restart my PC I get a warning to start Windows defender. That is Virus & threat protection automatically off.

No Option to remove Microsoft News Feed from Widgets app.

The News option in the Widget app. But They force only a few countries’ news, So I really don’t need it. So I need to remove it from the widget app. But It can’t.

Unable to connect Your Phone App.

I Won’t connect to my phone anymore. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app to my phone but the app on Windows gets hung up after the QR code. I’ve reset the windows app and everything but still won’t connect. It was working fine before installing Windows 11.

The date and time in the Windows 11 taskbar don’t match the formatting and value I have selected in the Settings.

After updated windows11, I show my usual time format in the taskbar, So I changed it to my usual format. But It didn’t change in the taskbar.

Refresh is not available in right-clicking the mouse.

There is no option to refresh with the right click of the mouse. Instead of having to click more options to do it. But most users feel very difficult to use it. It is not comfortable to use.

After Click “Show more options”, It shows in the below window.

No option for taskbar size or small icons in the taskbar.

The inability to resize the start menu makes it difficult and time-consuming to navigate. I have always used a full-screen start menu as I have a lot of apps I use off/on. Much easier and faster to navigate.

Bluetooth is not working on Some PC.

This Bluetooth option working fine on my laptop. But It isn’t working on my friend’s PC.

Set time zone automatically option is disabled and There is no option to change 12-Hours format to 24-Hours Format.

I am unable to change my time zone and time format on Windows 11.

The fingerprint is not working.

Windows don’t recognize any input when using the Fingerprint sensor for login. It needs to fix. Because In this busy world, Most of the users haven’t time to enter a passcode or pin every time.

Can’t Find different Battery modes in Windows 11.

favour in Windows 10, There are some battery modes. We can choose it depends on our usages. But In here, There are no battery modes. Only a Battery saver is available.

White Font colour in the White background at the “Get Started” app.

The laptop is currently in dark mode, When opening the Get Started app the text appears to be the wrong colour for the background. I think maybe need to update the dark version of this app?

App Check for update process very slow.

When I try to check windows updates, Even I have a strong Net connection, It is the answering process very slow.

Taskbar not working on the second display.

I am using a second display setup usually. But After windows 11, I found that the dual taskbar is not working properly on the secondary display. The bar is there but the icons aren’t. I have checked the Windows setting and Nothing seems to fix this.

This is my second screen

Alignment Error in Start menu.

I just enabled the “show most used apps” option, After that, I click on the start menu icon, then go to the “All apps” option, I saw an alignment error. That is “Most used” name look like “ost Used”.

Sometimes Edge on the desktop is slow, crashes or hangs, and freezes.

The “Do you want to close all tabs” dialogue sometimes prevents me from closing Edge.

Some Preferable Suggestions

Make the start menu, taskbar, and action centre transparent.

Allow customization of the taskbar in Windows 11.

The taskbar should be made customizable. People place in left or right according to their favour. But it seems the taskbar is locked in Windows11. It is really annoying and uncomfortable, especially for laptop users.

Add Support for .rar and .7z files in File Explorer.

Remove the TPM requirement in determining Windows 11 eligibility.

Most computers have not TPM as Inbuild. But It is very important for privacy. It helps to protect our data.

CORTANA should be improved.

I need to use Cortana to access my music and videos, etc. She can’t control power settings too. Before now I used to tell ‘hey Cortana shut down my pc, restart, sleep’ and more. But now She is only a search engine.

Refresh

I am missing the direct option for refreshing the computer by right click on the mouse.
