Can't write to stdout with FileAppend
Yeah, I feel you... docs should be more specific because in v1.1 you only get an ErrorLevel of 1 which means "Yo! There's an error" and that's it. At least in v2, it raises an ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE which at least is in the ballpark.

I really don't understand the logic behind having one more menu inside the main menu to show all of the options. Why not just have one menu with all of the options in it.
OK, but how? Does this still apply? is it the same? Oh wait, that doesn't detail how IExplorerCommand is registered. is it just part of the ShellEx key like IContextMenu? Microsoft docs used to be actually good for this, if anything you'd get too many technical details. The documentation for this new way they want everybody to use is seemingly non-existent.

Help building or mirroring docs.microsoft.com
The documentation source is available (e.g. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32) but I can't figure out how to build it. There's hints of docfx being used but I can't get it to build without errors due to the markdown being too deeply nested.

Any way to emulate "real" mouse clicks and key presses with software? (Preferably in python)
This seems to be a good discussion of mouse messages.

Windows 11 struggling to escape the shadow of Windows 10
> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table
It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.
Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution

Microsoft Will Eventually Start Charging You for Windows 10 Security Updates
I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen
That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Screenshots from Windows 95
Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Rectify11 Improving upon the Windows 11 experience
Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
