    Can`t login this morning - bad Windows 10 update ?


    I have been away from my home office for a period of time. I run 2 machines. one dirty one for gaming, and one I use for home administration. The same password is on both machines under the same user name. The login is set to local. This morning my gaming machine gives be an invalid password `message. My password has not changed in a long time yes I understand the security implications of this... On my clean machine from which I am typing now I was still logged in. I checked the password on it without logging off and find that the password is also invalid. Options that come to mind are:

    1 - Windows 10 now forces an expiry on passwords auto updates are turned on. Is this possible?

    2 - Keyboard drivers have been messed up. I seem to have corruption on some keyboard characters. For example the ? I used alt 063 to type that comes up É. However all the characters in my password seem to render properly.


    Anyone have any thoughts on this? Was there an update that happened a while ago that did something like this?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
