Remove Twitter Link from Help Menu
I noticed that in all current builds of ADG, on the main 'Help' menu, there is a link to AOL Desktop on Twitter. The link leads to a profile that doesn't exist. I would recommend one of the following fixes: Either remove the link from the Help menu -or- Rename the link to reflect Twitter's rebrand as "X" and have the link go to a profile that exists. Dead links look bad, so just wanted to let the team know I found this. Thanks in advance.

Update the System Requirements on the beta page.
I remember when 11.0 first started, Windows Vista was supported and was there on the System Reqs. Then, it disappeared the moment Vista went out of support in April 2017. Yet, I still see Win 7 and 8.x on there and never saw Win 11. Please update. 7/8.x has been out of support since Jan of last year (2023). :) that’s all.

Why again??
Why is it that AOL is always changing things on our welcome screen that we don't care about but don't do ANYTHING about the problems we tell them about? It makes no sense.

Download Procedure or Function does not remember the last saved file. One must drill down from OS:C to where my documents are - a real pain

Posting feedback or reporting a bug
There should be a way to attach a screenshot when either posting feedback or reporting a bug. It would make things a lot more easier.

aol desktop gold writing to hard drive
Looking at the disk activity under resource monitor, under task manager, I can confirm that aoldesktop.exe is writing to the hard drive.
What is the software doing? It'd be great to get more info about what is going on exactly. The only theory that I have is that the software makes a backup so in the event that the browser crashed, having a the browser recover your info would seem like a good idea.
I think aol 9.8 had this and most browsers do. There should be an option to customize aol desktop gold writing to a hard drive.

what's new option
Every day, when signing onto aol desktop gold, I click on the what's new icon to see if there is anything new that I should know about. I always like new things, but I would like to know when the next build of aol will be available and what will be included.
At this moment in time, I have no way of knowing when the new build will be available.Let us know when the next build will be available and what will be included. An email would be nice.

Improve aol desktop gold performance
I found a way to improve aol desktop gold performance if you have a mechical hard drive, like I do and are running windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11.
Turn off superfetch. I could be wrong, but it seems like superfetch might be inferring with aol desktop gold although the software still writes to a database file and still has issues. -
AOL Breached in December 2022 and members not told
Inform all members of breaches immediately so we can change our passwords. McAfee informed me in February of the system breach. A lot of Email contacts can be affected in two months. I have since changed my password twice

Not Good
There are too many things to talk about here but suffice it to say that AOL has gone so far down the tubes it is ridiculous. Email doesn't work the way it did before. Comments on articles is out of control. It doesn't matter what you say, it will deny your comment based on some ridiculous nonsense that someone says the word you use is bad. Oh, please. Even a medical term is considered 'bad'. ENOUGH!!

Please correct your recent APP that supposedly cleans up data to improve performance - it is now just hanging up my online experience.

Latest update
I don't need to know that microsoft is ending support for windows 7. Every time I sign on, there is a message saying so. There should be an option to not display this message every time I sign on.
Also I got an email from one of the aol testers that might explain why aol is slow at times, but there is no solution. Some of you might have the same issue that I do. I quote,
What appears to be happening is that all your physical memory is being used, and is swapping to the hard drive. We are…
