Godspeed, get well soon!
On my non-compliant laptop I have like a version of file explorer that looks like the one from Win8 and early Win10. No idea where that came from.
I experienced that anomaly as well. 🤷♂️

On my previous reply to you (when I asked you about what the "extended code" was), there was a link to an MS article in which one of the first things they suggest is to disconnect external devices.

2023-03-04T19:48:24+00:00 Hi fg,
I have a mixed bag with the Spotlight icon. One machine has it, another does not. I have tried several times switching back and forth to picture and spotlight to no avail.
I will take snips if I get the chance. On my non-compliant laptop I have like a version of file explorer that looks like the one from Win8 and early Win10. No idea where that came from. Have not looked into this concern, been busy with health (I am winning the fight with cancer) and other things.
This build is a terrible one. I've had to install twice with ISO and keep it offline for it to take on a compliant vm. Still have one more non-compliant vm to do. Too many changes in the inner workings, going to take time to get sorted.
Regards,
Johnny
Hi Johnny,
Sorry to hear about your health, I really hope you win that battle.
This build has created so many different issues depending on where I start from.
Got GSODs and other issues.
Also, I could never complete an upgrade on my non-compliant laptop, keeps failing the setup at about 90% on working on updates.
As for the Spotlight on background, it gets a little tricky. We can better discuss that on this other thread.
