In 2023 a slew of gaming laptops were launched with a 16:10 ratio resolution. This gives more screen real estate for people like me who also do development/coding.

When you do a game capture like Nvidia’s game capture, with a screen resolution based of 16:10 and import that into video editing software like DaVinci Resolve, it will add black bars if you set the project resolution to 16:9 ratio.

The following solutions will result in a game capture of 16:9 ratio. In addition to this, this also will use the native resolution of the monitor since the scaling is applied at the GPU level and not in the monitor.

NVIDIA

AMD

In certain laptops/desktops, you will be able to see a few apps keep pining themselves to the taskbar after each reboot.

For me, this happens in my MSI-manufactured Windows 11 laptop.

Do the following to fix this annoyance.

  • Once you have logged into your Windows 11 operating system
  • Press “Win + R” keys
  • Type in “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell”
  • This will open up the folder “Shell”
  • Within the folder, you will find a file named “LayoutModification.xml”
  • Create a copy of that file and rename it to “LayoutModification-Original.xml.bak”
  • Now open that file with the “Notepad” app.
  • Search for the word “CustomTaskbar” and you should be able to see the following lines.
<CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
    <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
      <taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
        <taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="9426MICRO-STARINTERNATION.DragonCenter_kzh8wxbdkxb8p!App" />
        <taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="9426MICRO-STARINTERNATION.CreatorCenter_kzh8wxbdkxb8p!App" />
		<taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="9426MICRO-STARINTERNATION.BusinessCenter_kzh8wxbdkxb8p!App" />
		<taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="9426MICRO-STARINTERNATION.MSICenter_kzh8wxbdkxb8p!App" />
        <taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="Microsoft.GamingApp_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Xbox.App" />
      </taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
    </defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
 </CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
  • In the above case, there are 5 line items (4,5,6,7 & 8) which start the relevant apps.
  • Remove the necessary lines and save the file.
<CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
    <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
      <taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
      </taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
    </defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
 </CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>

Reboot the system and those apps shouldn’t pin themselves in the next restart.
