What is the Windows 11 registry bypass

The registry bypass is a nominal change in your registry that helps disable TPM 2.0 check on your system when installing Windows 11. TPM or Trusted Platform Module is a secure chip on your motherboard that stores important data like your Windows Hello Sign-in information, passwords, encryption keys, and a lot more. These checks and requirements for TPM 2.0 can be bypassed by using the registry hack for Windows 11.

TPM 2.0 is a requirement for Windows 11 which is sadly missing on PCs bought before 2017-16. This prevents users with these systems from installing Windows 11 on their system despite having enough resources to run the OS properly.

Switch back to the Windows 10 Classic Start Menu in Windows 11

When the preview build of Windows 11 was leaked online, one of the most controversial changes was the new Windows 10 Start Menu.

With Windows 11, Microsoft did away with the Start Menu we associated with Windows and replaced it with a new one based on the now shelved Windows 10X. While some people like the new Windows 11 Start Menu, many do not and wish they could switch back to the Windows 10 version.

The good news is that Microsoft has added a ‘Start_ShowClassicMode’ Registry value that allows you to enable what they call “Classic Mode” that uses the Windows 10 Start Menu.

Switch Windows With a Single Click on the Taskbar

Since Windows 7, apps with multiple open windows are combined into a single taskbar button. Hovering over the button gives you a live thumbnail of every window and you can then click the window you want to work with.

If you’re routinely switching between apps with open windows, that can get a little cumbersome. You can hold the Ctrl key down while clicking a taskbar button to view the last active window—and then keep clicking with Ctrl held to cycle through each of that app’s open windows—but that often just lets you view the window instead of making it active. If you’re willing to make a mild Registry edit, you make it so that clicking a taskbar button always opens the last active window—no Ctrl key needed.
