How to remove the Linux icon despite the Docker application - windows

A while ago, I downloaded the Docker program, but I did not use it, so I deleted it, but since that day my device started slowing down and this icon appeared. I thought that the reason was Docker because it produced a hyper-v problem that disabled my Virgoal Box. Do you have any previous experience?
This icon has no properties

I had the same issue and fixed it by the following steps;
Open PowerShell and type;
wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
(This removed the two data icons)
Then to remove the Linux Icon -> Open Settings -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features ->
(Top Left) Turn Windows features on or off...
Untick Windows Subsystem for Linux
This will force a reboot and the icon is then gone

Copy&Paste in VMWARE Fusion MAC (Intel, Ventura 13.0) to Windows 11 is not working

I have an Intel Mac with macOS Ventura 13 installed.
I also have VMware Fusion 12.2.4 installed.
In Fusion a Windows 11 Vm is running.
Latest vmware Tools are installed. Copy&Paste is active.
In Mac System Preferences Full System Access is granted to VMware Fusion.
What I did:
Reinstall vmware tools.
Disable / Enable Copy&Paste Preference in VMware Fusion.
Still it is not working.
What did I miss or is this a common problem?
Thanks
About VMware Fusion 13 for MAC-OS + Windows 11 ARM.
After hours of internet researchers, and a lot of fussing about it.
In the official forum it appears that version 13 does not support memory sharing between the Mac and Windows.

The only way offered there is to use Microsoft's remote desktop app that can be downloaded freely from Apple app store.
A few more steps are required to complete the task.
Remote access should be enabled in the Windows settings.
In the menu of the virtual machine that appears when Windows is open, you need to change: virtual machine -> network adapter -> from NAT to bridged (Autodetect).
If your Windows is configured without a password, you will have to follow the following steps i copy from:

Click the "Start" menu, click the "Run" command.
In the open Run dialog box, enter "secpol.msc" and click "OK" to open the local security settings.
In the console tree window on the left, expand "Local Policies" - "Security Options"
In the right window, double-click to open the "Accounts: Local accounts with blank passwords only allow console logins" item.
Enter the "Local Security Settings" tab interface, select "Disabled", and click "OK" to save the changes.

In the Windows cmd window, enter the command ipconfig. The address that appears in ipv4address is the one that should be registered on the Mac in the rdp address field. Activate the connection, enter the Windows username, and that's it..
The same issue with VMware Fusion 13 and Windows 11 guest system on my Ventura 13 host (M1 Max MacBook Pro).
I have no idea how to deal with it. Reinstalling vmware tools doesn't help.

Anaconda navigator won't launch apps (Windows 10)

Anaconda Navigator (version 2.0.4) sometimes hangs when trying to launch apps (OS is Windows 10). A picture of what it looks like is below -- the status bar at the bottom right keeps going indefinitely without launching an app.
I seem to have this problem when Anaconda is running for a long time or when I put the computer to sleep before launching another app. In the image below, I had worked in Spyder last night, put the computer to sleep overnight, woke up then tried to launch JupyterLab. When I close and reopen Anaconda I am able to launch Spyder then JupyterLab immediately after it with no problem. This makes me suspect it is a problem with the OS.
I'm also having same problem. When i use anaconda for long or hibernate system, it often show not responding. I need to restart my system and it works fine. I thought I'm having problem in my system(Windows 8.1).

Network Link Conditioner Freezes and Wont Start

I have downloaded Hardware IO Tools for Xcode 7.1 from the Apple Developer site and installed it by opening the DMG and then double clicking Network Link Conditioner.prefPane.
I then go to my System Preferences and can see the Network Link Conditioner is there. I can go into it but as soon as I click the switch to turn it on the whole System Preferences freezes up. Also, I noticed that my keyboard seems to stop working...somewhat. I can still do cmd + spacebar and then type in there to search my system but I can't type into the URL field on safari for example.
My Mac: OS X Yosemite v10.10.5
My Xcode: v7.2.1 (7C1002)
By the way, I downloaded the 7.1 version of the Hardware IO Tools as they only have a 7.1 or 7.3 version, there doesn't seem to be a version for 7.2. Maybe that is the issue? I can't currently upgrade to 7.3 as that requires me to upgrade OS X to 10.11 but our company policy does not currently allow for that.
Anybody know how I could fix this?
Could this be caused by the fact that I am not an admin on my machine?
My suspicion was correct, it wouldn't start as it needs to be run as an admin.
If you're not an admin, you need to run a command such as
sudo /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
or in my case I had to get an admin in the office to do:
su - <admin_username> /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
These commands will open the System Preferences as an admin user.
I have noticed that when he Network Link Condition is open in the System Preferences, my keyboard stops working in certain areas still. For example, I couldn't type in here whilst the panel was open (even with it turned off) but as soon as I closed the panel I could type again. I will possibly open another question at a later dare about this though.

Running an app in WebStorm on MacOS with Parallels installed

When I try to run a project from WebStorm 9, I get the following error:
The application /User/{Username}/Applications (Parallels)/{{guid}}/...
I then click "Fix" and try to specify a custom path to Chrome. After I browse, it shows up as:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app
Parallels seems to be forcing WebStorm to look for applications in the Parallels folder.
How can I override this behavior in WebStorm?
It's a Parallels issue - see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-36#comment=27-70940
Please try the following:
global parallels menu: Virtual Machine -> Configure -> Options tab -> Applications -> uncheck Share Windows applications with Mac
I also had the same issue and changing Parallels sharing settings was not a good option for me. Fortunately, it can be fixed in WebStorm configuration. Just specify Mac location of Chrome /Applications/Google Chrome.app instead of an incorrect one Google Chrome.app for the default browser setting in ide.general.xml:
~/Library/Preferences/WebStorm11/options/ide.general.xml
...
<option name="browserPath" value="/Applications/Google Chrome.app" />
...
It's also possible to do it in UI, though set it up in ide.genera.xml works more reliable in my case.
This was the fix for me:
WebStorm > Preferences > Tools > Web Browsers:
Change "Path" of Chrome to /Applications/Google Chrome.app (as opposed to /Users/<Username>/Applications)
Change "Default Browser" to "First listed" (and make sure the one you just changed is at the top of the list)
Hmm, looks like Webstorm is searching for an application, and is searching the folder /User/{Username}/Applications before searching /Applications. I suspect Webstorm is using a system path to search, since a similar issue has come up before.
Short of finding (and changing) that path, can you try changing the way parallels shares applications with your Mac? In parallels, click on the VM's 'settings' button, then the 'Options' tab, then the 'Applications' page. Try playing around with those settings - I suspect that unchecking "Share Windows applications with Mac" will solve your issue, though it may have unintended consequences (especially if you actually want applications to be available from the mac).

How to start a fullscreen virtual machine via VirtualBox in the current Mac OS X workspace?

Since I updated VirtualBox to 4.3.12, when I start a virtual machine in fullscreen mode, it launches a new workspace with it which is not practical. (Mac OS X 10.8.5)
Just changing the virtual machine View parameters "Switch to fullscreen" launches a new workspace.
I use two screens and I used to have my VM on left screen and my code editor on right screen to debug Internet Explorer.
Before that update, I could switch with CMD + TAB between the Virtual Machine and my others apps because they were in the same workspace. It was really useful.
I searched in all parameters I could find in VirtualBox and Mac configuration, then in web forums without any result.
Thanks.
Your VirtualBox is fullscreen.
Quit fullscreen with "HOST"+F.
That is Cmd+F by default.
