Windows 11 just got a major update, and it's rolling out today 🧵 1. Meet the new Start menu Windows 11 is getting a redesigned Start menu, which, according to Microsoft, makes it easier to access apps because everything is in one place. You don't have to keep tapping on buttons to find your apps. You just need to scroll, and all apps will appear. It is also possible to remove the Recommended feed, which was used by Microsoft to show ads. You can now switch between two new views—category view, which groups apps by type and highlights frequently used ones, and grid view, which lists apps alphabetically with more horizontal space for easier scanning. Also, the Start menu now has a responsive layout. Larger displays show more pinned apps, recommendations, and categories by default. Sections like Pinned and Recommended expand or collapse based on content. You can customize these views under Settings > Personalization > Start.

@0daydorpher I think it's more a security feature.

Hi! We have troubles to get a HP Z6 G5 A Workstation boot into #ConfigMgr WinPE. We added the newest WinPE driver pack and the very big Nvidia graphics driver (temp). BaseboardID is 8B24. After loading WinPE the screen is black and nothing happens. Ideas? @nkofahl @dan_felman

@dan_felman @nkofahl I am only able to download 1.8.2.

@DHaimann @nkofahl CMSL 1.8.5 supports 25h2... HPIA 5.3.2 already supports it

@dan_felman @nkofahl Is there a roadmap for HP script library and HPIA to support 25H2?

@DHaimann @nkofahl what version of WinPE are u using?

@dan_felman @nkofahl The last ADK version.

@dan_felman Yes.

@DHaimann Q: does this mean WinPE works fine when DMA is disabled in BIOS?

@gwblok @nkofahl @dan_felman Only this Z6 G5 A Workstation. All other machines work like a charm.

@gwblok @nkofahl @dan_felman I added the Nvidia driver only to test. I removed it because the result is the same. I only integrate the HP WinPE driver pack. At the moment 3.10. I can boot from Win11 USB-Stick. The problem only exist with ConfigMgr Boot Image from network and USB. Never seen before.

I released an analyzer PS script that emulates HPIA scanning engine - read all about it at developers.hp.com/Analyzer - Output should be similar to HPIA analyze function. Script in GitHub. This is a personal effort over a long time. Hope is useful
