    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. access BIOS settings in Win 10

    I have an 8-year old computer running Win 10. I need to access the BIOS settings. It used to be the holding down the F2 key during startup would bring up the BIOS screen in Windows computers. But this no longer works. A web article listed a complicated
    series of steps leading to a reboot . . . but still no access to BIOS. Any suggestions?

    Cannot access settings in Windows 10

    Hi Deepankar,

    Apologize for the delay in response.

    • Can you help us with the specific model number of your computer?
    • Are you facing any display issues on your computer?
    I suggest you to login to your system and check if you are able to access settings option.

    Refer the below link to boot in safe mode.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...mode-and-other-startup-settings-in-windows-10

    If you are able to access settings in safe mode I would suggest you to boot the computer in clean boot state and check if any software conflicts or third party program is causing the problem.

    You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0

    If the issue does not occur in “Clean Boot”, then you may determine which application/service on the computer is causing this issue. This can be done by following the instructions for “Windows 8.1 and Windows 8” given in the section
    “How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a Clean Boot”
    from the same given link.

    Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting. Above article is applicable for Windows 10.

    Try the above suggestions and get back to us for further assistance.
