Title says it all. I don't know what to do to fix this. Will upgrading from wifi 5 to 6 or changing to ethernet fix it? Or is this a windows issue? It's very frustrating when I'm in my zoom call and I need to restart because wifi stops. Help would be appreciated thanks!

That watermark is there because you're using an Insider Build of Windows. The only way to remove it is to go back to a main release, not a beta version.
Alright I'll just google how to do that rq. Thanks man!

It looks like the issue is only effecting UWP apps. Try the solutions shown at https://superuser.com/questions/1319157/some-windows-10-uwp-icons-not-displaying-on-search-or-in-settings.
Unfortunately none of these solutions worked, so now I'm just stuck on what to do

As you can see, my start menu icons for Windows 10 are blank. This doesn't happen to everything, but it happens to some. I'm not sure why this is happening, could someone post a solution? Thanks.

Never mind I figured it out.
If anyone else wants to know, I downloaded the Midnight Lizard chrome extension, and I added this link and set it as default

I love how you gave detailed specs, and then for mouse, it's just razr. But great setup man!

Hey so I'm thinking Abt buliding a new pc and I'm not quite sure what parts would be the best for mey budget is 1,500 and some change my friend bulit a PC on PC part picker and I wanted see if y'all could check it out and give me some feed back thank you Soo much
To me, everything looks good Can't comment on the case though. Only reccomendation would be if you could try and fit in an Nvme drive in, because it would be faster than the crucial you are using right now.

Could be the format of the drive, or etcher I have had issues with in the past. Have you tried another USB / another flashing software? I would recommend Rufus or YUMI.
Currently I am on Linux and Rufus doesn't work on Solus for me, even with Wine. I'll try Yumi. How would I change the format of the driive?
Edit: I tried turning off secure boot and turned on legacy support. Now it's detected, but when I boot into it, it just shows some text, then the lenovo logo, and then boots into Linux again.
Edit 2: I am reflashing it onto the same drive using WoeUSB. I will boot up again and report back with results.

Okay guys, so, I flashed a Windows 64bit ISO image on to a sandisk 16GB USB drive using Etcher, and when I go into the boot menu on BIOS, I don't see the disk detected. What do I do? Thanks

You can wipe it all from the windows installer, just boot the installer and your good.

If you don't care about the linux, just wipe it and install only windows on it, dual booting can be a poian.
Ok. So to wipe it, would I just get Windows, boot it, and wipe the hard drive?

1. Make backup.
2. Shrink partition
3. Install windows and hope the bootloads are happy, if not, setup grub.
I don't really care about saving data on Linux, I am just doing this for my dad, since he is going to use this computer and he doesn't really like linux. So after I shrink the partition, would I go back into BIOS and load into my hard drive again? And if the bootloads aren't happy, how would I setup GRUB?

Just now, Electronics Wizardy said:
You can't shrink ext4 when its mounted, so you need to boot from a live disk then shrink
Oh ok. I have my Solus OS boot disk with me, so I will log into that and shrink it from there. But what should my next step be?

you'd reduce the size of the existing partition, then make a new partition with NTFS. Also, windows will delete your bootloader so you should probably get a boot manager.
That's the thing, it won't let me reduce the /dev/sda/3 partition. And what exactly is a boot manager?
-
Hey guys. I am using this old laptop here, and I am not sure how to install windows on it now. I currently have Solus OS Budgie, and don't have unallocated space to install Windows. What do I do? My GParted disk is posted. Thanks!

So, I pulled the trigger on a maxed out spec Lenovo yoga c640 yoga, and I'd like to know what other people's experiences with this laptop are.

Guys I got a yoga c640 maxed out specs. So this topic can be closed now.

So, I returned my surface pro 7 due to bugs. I got $850 US dollars back. What laptop would you recommend that doesn't pass $850? I will use mainly for school. I will rate what is most important for me to what is least important:
- Keyboard
- Specs (must be 10th gen i5 or higher, at least 8gb ram and 128gb SSD)
- Trackpad
- Weight
- Touchpad
- Thinness
- Ports
- OS
What are your suggestions? I can use Costco and Amazon.

Let's try this then
Close any application that you may be running, and then do the following:
1. Open CMD as administrator
2. Type the following command to navigate to the icon cache database location and press Enter:
cd %homepath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
3. Type the following command to verify the icon cache database files are at the location and press Enter:
dir iconcache*
4. The output of the dir command should list these database files:
iconcache_1280.db iconcache_16.db iconcache_1920.db iconcache_256.db iconcache_2560.db iconcache_32.db iconcache_48.db iconcache_768.db iconcache_96.db iconcache_custom_stream.db iconcache_exif.db iconcache_idx.db iconcache_sr.db iconcache_wide.db iconcache_wide_alternate.db
5. Type the following command to stop File Explorer and press Enter:
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
Note: Once you terminate File Explorer, your desktop background and taskbar will disappear, leaving a black screen — but it's OK, it's only temporarily. You need to close File Explorer to be able to delete the icon cache files. Otherwise, you won't be able to do it.
6. Type the following command to delete the iconcache files and press Enter:
del iconcache*
Note: If you get access denied trying to remove the files, you're probably not running Command Prompt with as an administrator. Repeat these steps, but making sure Command Prompt starts with administrative privileges.
7. Type the following command to verify that you successfully deleted the icon cache files and press Enter:
dir iconcache*
If you still see some iconcache files, then it's likely that some apps are still running, which will prevent you from deleting the database files. Make sure to close them all, and repeat the steps.
8. Type the following command to start File Explorer and press Enter:
explorer.exe
And that's it! Close CMD, and check the incons. You might need to restart your PC if the icons are still blank.
I'll try it tomorrow!
