Dark Mode vs Light Mode
So here is a quick survey. What do you think is the best mode for Windows to be in: dark or light? Remember that to such a question, there is no wrong answer. You could say that light mode is the best and be totally correct and another person could say dark mode and also be completely correct. But honestly, if you ask me, I would choose dark mode in a heartbeat, because it is visually appealing and for me at least, Fluent Design looks more fluid in dark mode. In addition, dark mode helps avoid the situation whereby your PC's display is a huge torch, and dark mode is gentle on the eyes. That ⬆ was my opinion. Thank you!
Enable Guest Wi-Fi in Your Router
There are times when your friend will come over or you have to share your wireless internet with someone who is not going to use your internet for long time. Normally, we will share our wireless password which is not a secure way of doing it. We could use a feature called Guest Wi-Fi, when someone wanted to use your Wi-Fi for a while, then make sure enable Guest Wi-Fi instead of giving password of your real Wi-Fi and make sure setup strong password and it is different from your current Wi-Fi password. It is recommended to leave it off and only turn it one when a guest is coming over. This way they won't have an access to your entire network and access is limited to internet only and you could set some limitation like download usage and so on. You should take a note that you will need a router where it supports Guest Wi-Fi and it might not be available in all routers.
Here's an idea to improve MS Calendar and Reminders
Sharing this idea and hope that others agree it would be helpful. How many times have you said to yourself or a family member or colleague, "On the next warm day, I want to..." Or, "on the next cool day I need to, or, the next time it rains, I need to..." In other words, "To Do" list items are not only date/time relevant, they also have other attributes or triggers such as weather (as one example), or location attributes such as "the next time I'm in Boston I want to...". The could apply to business as well as personal items. This feature would bring the next level of intelligence and personalization to calendar and reminder apps. It's only a question of time as to which vendor introduces it first - and will make users become lovers of their technology/platform. Here is the link to Feedback Hub for for upvoting: https://aka.ms/AAaoz3w Thank you! (And once you implement it, please consider hiring me as well... :-)
Ability to create Local Account Removed from OOBE in 1903
Yesterday I attempted to set up my PC but during the New PC setup the computer refused to allow me to set up the computer with a local account, and it forced me to log-in to my Microsoft account to set up the PC. I even called MS support and told this was an intentional change and the only way around it was to login to the MS account, and then remove the MS account after I got into windows. I was able to work around this by temporarily disconnect my house's internet, and at that point it allowed me to create a local account, but it's absurd that the first time set up is now FORCING people to set up a MS account linked to their computer. I understand that MS wants to put pressure on people to do it that way, but TOTALLY REMOVING the option to create a local account is a low blow. I often reset my PC to help clear out the junk and get it running fresh, and I prefer to set up my PC as a local account during set up so I can specify what my user folder is named, and get a chance to disable some system apps like Skype that I don't want to run before I log into my MS account. (ps, since I'm not sure if OOBE is a real term or something I made up, it's short for Out Of Box Experience, the first time set up wizard that windows puts you through the first time it boots after installing windows or resetting windows.)

Bad Computer / Bad Boy Part II
In this episode!.. I started this trek because not only because the computer wasn't acting the way it had been, and because certain things, like the Microsoft Printer weren't working at all. Ok, so I went a little nuclear and bombed the entire system! Truthfully I hadn't been that nervous in a while. The last time I decided to do that I took it to my near by Microsoft store at the Chandler Fashion Center Mall, and let them deal with it. Not this time!. I reset the PC, and didn't care about personal files as everything was on OneDrive and an External Drive anyway. The reinstallation of Microsoft 365 went fairly well, with a few exceptions that I'm still clearing up. There were a few other glitches, but again nothing really unsurmountable. The Microsoft Printer came back of course, and here is where I learned something new, or for the first time noticed something. For many years when I've gotten an email that I need to keep, I simply click on Send to OneNote and choose the appropriate folder and away it goes. A real time saver. What I noticed in the Microsoft Printer was that I could print to OneNote for Windows 10, and to Windows 10 Desktop! You talk about time savers! That at least to me is huge! I use Microsoft 365 OneNote Desktop , Microsoft Outlook 365 Desktop, and Microsoft Excel 365 Desktop, and the Microsoft Printer on a daily basis. How I didn't know that that existed in the printer is embarrassing. If you haven't played with it you really should check it, or if you already know about, please humor me and don't make too much fun of me for missing something like that ... LOL
