  1. Can't access previously accessible partition on Windows 10


    I have a partition on my computer which had lots of movies and music on. When a young family friend was coming to stay, I made a new user account on my computer for him to use, and tried to increase the security on my computer so he couldn't access that drive.


    Somehow I can't access the partition anymore, and it says it's FAT32. I've tried everything to access it again. I used to be able to, so I don't know why I can't anymore.


    I have all administrative privileges, and the drive has no security tab so I can't change it back.

    :)

    if he deleted the recovery partition, you wont be able to access it. You will have to reinstall Windows from dvd or cd.....

    Searched the internet found some solutions. Nothing worked. Formatted partition C,reinstalled windows. The clever thinking behind this move was..."well fresh windows, brand new default settings,all goes back to normal".
    That was a fail. Still could not access my partitions after fresh reinstall. But i don't give up easy, mind you. I switched to the administrator account. And boom! The partitions were accessible ,everything was well.
    Started installing my programs etc. all was well. Until a hour ago. I tried to access the weather app,the store app,and basically everything else int he metro screen . And i got 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
