    Hi WorldwideInc,

    Use this program to give some incite in to why.

    GitHub - rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11: Detection Script to help identify why your PC isn't Windows 11 Release Ready

    Beware that app should not install anything but leaves behind unwanted/unnecessary icon settings.

    There's a way to remove the setting but removes other icons as well.

    This is from the author of whynotw11, use at your own risk

    "You can remove the listing by

    1. Open Regedit
    2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
    3. Delete IconsStream and PastIconsStream

    Then

    1. Log out and back in

    or

    1. Run cmd
    2. Run taskkill /f /im explorer.exe in cmd
    3. Run explorer.exe in cmd"

    ***UPDATE***

    For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:

    Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.

    We've made an update to Settings to resolve some issues. Please reboot your device to ensure you have the latest update.

    I have done all the update as well as all the MIcrosoft Software Updates. But it says the exact thing up above and it doesn't make Sense.

    Listed Below is my build.

    I have a FULL ASUS Gaming Motherboard

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.00 GHz (Overclocking capabilities)

    Corsair 32.0 GB RAMS (Might upgrade to 64)

    512 SSD for Windows 10 and all the necessary drivers, defragged monthly

    2 Terabytes 7,200 rpm Hard drive for Local storage

    4 raiding Hard drive for Local Networking drive, shared

    55" Gaming Monitor

    Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse

    Bluetooth and WiFi Capabilities up to 3,000 mps.

    43mps download and 10mps upload (Checked Weekly)

    Digital TV Tuner Card,

    Surround Sound Pioneer System (Gives thunderous Base and Trebles at 300 Watts per Speaker (4 Speakers, 5 Base and Tuner Combo)

    Wireless Headphone Systems

    Motion Feel Chair where if you are hit in a game, you can actually feel it)

    Plus I also have an Oculus Quest II for Virtual Reality Experience when I want.

    Yet I don't meet requirement? What I would like to see if instead of getting message like this, I want to see what is a required add-on to my existing system to meet your requirement. I want to know why my system failed and what I need to update, and/or add to it...
