  • SOT : Microsoft oddity

    From Scott@newsgroups@gefion.myzen.co.uk to uk.d-i-y on Thu Oct 9 10:17:34 2025

    Ufter updating Windows 11 and running CCleaner 7, the letter X at the
    top right corner has disappeared from all Microsoft products
    (non-Microsoft software is unaffected). Is this a feature of W11 25H2
    or has something gone wrong?

    I could find a claim, that some SDK has an impact on the Microsoft-App behaviors (missing Close), and some other code is used by third parties
    (which may include just using an older SDK that was still functional).
    It may be a recent update to windows 11 which loops in this SDK issue.

    Alt-F4 can Close an application which has the focus, as a (poor) workaround.

    It may take a while, to figure out a good keyword to stick in a
    Google, to find out details on this (and what might pave over it).

    Thanks. After a bit or searching, it seems it involves turning off
    Desktop Window Manager (DW) in the Task Manager then a restart.
