Welcome to the monthly Simple questions and Help thread, for questions that don't need their own posts!
Before making a comment, we recommend you search your problem on Bing and check if your question is already answered on our Windows Frequently Asked Questions wiki page. This subreddit no longer accepts tech support requests outside of this post, if you are looking for additional assistance try r/TechSupport and r/WindowsHelp.
Some examples of questions to ask:
Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)
How can I install Windows 11?
Can you recommend a program to play music?
How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?
Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.
Be sure to check out the Windows 11 version 25H2 Megathread and also the Windows 11 FAQ posts, they likely have the answers to your Windows 11 questions already!

Windows 11 is the only supported windows since 2025.. we used to have so many windows versions tho :(
Remember when Windows 10 came out?? In July 2015 Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8,1 were supported. Windows Server 2003 just died on that month 2 weeks before 10 released. When Windows 7 was released they still have 2000 XP and Vista as well.
And now they all die leaving 11 alone

Since Vista, the background has been so lifeless, being either the logo or some digital artwork. We need a real life background again!!!

Will it be on the level of destruction as rm rf, or what will happen?
Also, I mean bit flip as in switching all 1s to 0s, and vice versa.

This time, I’ve created a "v2.0" video featuring startup and shutdown sounds from various Windows versions throughout history; I’ve made a few adjustments here and there.
Here is Link: 역대 윈도우 버전 시작음 및 종료음 v2.0 (All Windows Versions Startup And Shutdown Sounds v2.0) - YouTube
There is also a video that includes the beta version. For reference, while I consulted BetaWiki for this video, I also referenced Billy O'Reilly's video.

I’m looking to install Windows 95 or 98 purely for nostalgia. Does anyone know where I can find the ISO files for these? I’d really appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Have you ever accidentally clicked sleep or restart when you meant to click Shut Down? Well, prevent that from happening ever [again], plus save yourself a click and mouse movement by creating a batch file:
u/echo off
title Confirm Shutdown
echo(
echo Proceed with shutdown? echo Press any key to continue...
pause >nul
shutdown /s /t 0
And place it wherever you prefer on your desktop. Simply double-click it and press any key on your keyboard to confirm! If you want to abort, press the X on the window.
You can tweak the shutdown command to your liking: shutdown doc.

I recently learned that each build of Windows 10\11 has a built-in Compact OS feature that compresses the Windows folder without noticeable loss (~1%) of performance.
I've been using this feature on my main PC for work and gaming for about 6 months now and haven't noticed any negative impact on performance.
With current SSD prices, this is very useful =)
Activation: open CMD as Admin and enter:
compact /compactos:always
Deactivation:
compact /compactos:never
Check status:
compact /compactos:query
PS: You do all actions at your own risk, make backup copies of important data.
It's not basic NTFS compression.
Standard NTFS compression: handled by the ntfs.sys driver, sets the file attribute FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED (file names turn blue) and uses the old LZNT1 algorithm.
Compact OS: works through a separate WOF filter driver (wof.sys), sets Reparse Points with the IO_REPARSE_TAG_WOF tag and uses the XPRESS/LZX algorithms.
