  1. Can’t open settings or windows bar


    I just bought this pc off Cyberpowerpc. Set everything up , ignored the one drive prompt because I don’t want to use it, even though it seems like you’re forced to. Downloaded Chrome, Steam, Battle.net, and the GeForce experience App. Updated my graphics card driver through the app and after that I plugged in my HDMI cable to connect a second monitor first one is a display port. Then all of a sudden I can’t open sound or internet settings, can’t open the general settings or the windows menu. Lost connection even though I never unplugged the Ethernet cable. My one drive account is frozen due

    If you're referring to Windows 10, follow these steps cricket league unlimited diamond to disable suggestions in the Start Menu and show recent opened items:

    1. Deactivating Suggestions:
      • Right-click on the Windows Start button.
      • Select "Settings" from the menu.
      • In the Settings window, click on "Personalization."
      • On the left sidebar, choose "Start."
      • Look for the option called "Show suggestions occasionally in Start" and toggle it off.
    2. Activating Recent Opened Items:
      • In the same "Start" settings, ensure that the "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" option is enabled.
    If you're using a different operating system or referring to specific software or applications, please provide more details, and I'll be glad to assist you further.
