Dude, I'm talking about Files App (the one from store which @theFOoL mentioned)
The one from Microsoft loads thumbnails fine and has no problem dragging to external program, yeedee yadda View attachment 251506

currently, in Microsoft one, you can't rearrange tabs View attachment 251507
Oh, fair enough. I don't use drag & drop frequently, but when I do I expect it to function properly.

Alright, this is not good & an annoying waste of time to diagnose the problem...
I've researched & it could be one or more several different things going wrong here.

You try a diff usb port (not 3.0)? Id hazard a guess, its installing the USB controller drivers and it disconnects then it gets mad.

Yep, tried that, doesn't make a diff. Just downloaded another win11 usb image on another USB thumb drive I have here & the install is working fine again.
All this after double checking storage drive integrity as well (NVME ssd)
Thanks for your help though. :)


Meanwhile, some time later with the OS installed & up to date...

What's the story with non recognition of USB thumb drives in windows explorer, the drive is seen in disk management & device manager but not shown in explorer??
This is a new 64GB Kingston 3.1 USB drive. Chipset drivers are all up to date as well...

Got it. When doing it in win10, don't think I ever had to do that even with different thumb drives.

Its happend to me all the way back to 7, this one isnt 11 specific but the situation is uncommon in general.

I've seen that. Make sure your ISO image is not corrupt before writing it to a drive. Re-downloading it usually fixes this problem for me.

You try a diff usb port (not 3.0)? Id hazard a guess, its installing the USB controller drivers and it disconnects then it gets mad.
This is less common but it has happened to me as well. If the system in question as both USB2 and USB3, boot the setup drive from the USB2 ports. If all else fails and you have one, make a DVD of the ISO and boot/install from DVD. It's a slower, but rarely fails.

Granted you already have it solved, but tips for the future.

Another system update this morning, but when rebooting the USB drive is still inaccessible despite it being clearly listed in disk management & device manager. Can not assign a drive letter cause' windows is not offering the option!

You may need to re-partition and format that drive. That partition seems to be marked "hidden", so Windows will not assign a drive letter to it.

That's going to be a hassle, there is content on it I value, when I boot up another machine here I'll have to go through the process of transferring its content & then when the win 11 machine has done what it wants to do to it, load the content back on again & see what happens... :rolleyes:
Imo, this is a design flaw with win11 & this point in time now in 2022.
Another thing too I can't seem to find is the good old system restore function?

You could use a partition utility to remove the "Hidden" flag. AOMEI, EaseUS or MiniTools makes some great free partition programs.

Totally agree!!

Thanks, but I'll just do it the other way, using 3rd party tools for really fundamental things that windows should do anyway doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm.
Just for the record, plugged in another Kingston USB drive... & it picks it up perfectly!

I mean technically you can toggle the hidden flag with command line windows diskpart.

Hmm, why do you have a EFI partition there? Keep in mind Windows doesn't like showing more than one volume per removable drive, and if the EFI partition is the first one, it might have to do with that.

Hi,
Yeah 8gb efi ?
What is this a 10-11 installer ?
Can't image why else you'd have a efi on a flash drive usually fat32 or ntfs and done.

Hey guys, somehow interesting news:
;)

Rufus has been made available in the new version 3.19 (3.19.1906). Currently as beta, but with many improvements. Especially for Windows 11 changes have been made. For example, Rufus can now bypass the required Microsoft account when reinstalling Windows 11 Home and Pro.

For this, however, the Internet must be cut during the reinstallation, so that the local account can be installed. This can also be set up this way, but if Rufus already offers it, why not.

EDIT: https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases __ V19 BETA

rename rufus-3.19_BETA.exe to rufus-3.19p.exe and you have the portable version.

Been since 18 but yeah
not exactly the same. the NEW 22H2 is meant. the installation requires www to install clean. that is then bypassed. no shift+F10 and programming needed anymore.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.
V19 is available on github - link above #2394




here is the CLASSIC MOD:


"Unfortunately, you have lost the Internet connection".
From here on it starts:

- Press:
Shift + F10. The command prompt opens

- Now enter:
net.exe user "N:A:M:E" /add (Instead of N:A:M:E of course your name)

- After that:
net.exe localgroup "Administrators" "N:A:M:E" /add

- Now:
cd OOBE

- After that:
msoobe.exe && shutdown.exe -r

I haven't noticed that at all, and not because I'm failing to pay attention, but because it's not happening. I've been testing Windows 11 on a Core i3-2310M based Dell laptop since the beta program started last year June. I've been swapping drives for Windows 10 comparison testing the whole time and that testing continues. Windows 11 is not perfect, microsoft continues to pull it's nonsense, but one problem 11 does not have is performance issues when compared to 10. Just not happening.

So whatever problems you're having are specific to your system and configuration..

The next question would be, what problems are you having? Maybe we all can help you discover the problem and fix it.
