  1. Make it so that I can select downloads


    In Win 7 there was a way to assess which patches to download and install. I'm really struggling to set this up for Win 10. There's a thread at
    How do I stop automatic upgrades on Windows 10
    that details what to do, but the information is incomplete.

    There is advice to use option 2
    Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10
    To Enable or Disable Automatic Updates using Group Policy, Good so far - this seems to be what I want.

    The next step is Group policy
    Open Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 10
    and there are four options
    Open in Run, Search, Command prompt or Power shell. So, use group policy, but which one?

    At this point I gave up as the instructions are unclear.

    Can someone please direct me to a clear, unambiguous and hopefully simple way so set up Win 10 so that I can decide which patches shall be downloaded? TIA.

    :)

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
