  1. "Make this my main display" is grey in Windows 10


    When I set up my new computer which has Windows 10 I set up 2 displays. This was my first time using 2 displays.

    There is a check box in Settings under Display which says "Make This My Main Display". I accidentally clicked this when I was on the wrong display. Now the check box is grey and will not let me change it to the correct display and I am having to use the wrong display as the main one.

    Do you know any way to get Windows 10 to let me change this?

    :)

    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
