  1. Windows 10 - Downloads Folder


    Hello,


    I just updated to Windows 10 Pro today and I wanted to change the Downloads folder from my C drive SSD to F drive HDD. I have done a couple of things to alleviate this.


    1. I changed Google Chrome's default download folder to F Drive Downloads.

    2. I went into 'Settings' --> 'Storage' and changed all of the destination paths from C drive to F drive.

    3. I changed the download path from C drive to F drive.


    However, when I click on the "start" key to go to my Downloads, it is still showing my old defaulted C drive download path.


    I want to figure out the solutions to this problem.


    When I press the "start" key and press on Downloads, I want to see my F drive.

    This is my current "path".


    C:\Users\Default\Downloads

    Thanks for all the help!

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.
