Windows 10 has Mail and Calendar apps already built in. Mail and Calendar for Windows 10 from Microsoft help you stay up-to-date on your email, manage your schedule, and stay in touch with people you care about the most. Designed for both work and home, these apps help you communicate quickly and focus on whats important across all your accounts.

When you first open the Calendar app for Windows 10, you'll see the default view of an entire month.

Several of the views have options you can configure from the Settings pane.

• Week: The week view shows you seven days, starting on the day you've chosen in settings as your first day of the week.
• Month: The month view shows you a calendar month by default. If you scroll down, you can view five weeks at a time.
• Year: The year view shows you an entire calendar year at a glance. You can't view appointments or events in Year view.

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.

• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

If it does not help, try to reset the calendar app. To reset the app, please follow the steps mentioned below.

Launch the Calendar app and go to ‘Month view’ and check if the issue is fixed.

Method 2:

Try with uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Windows 10 calendar app - Schedule View for events (multiple calendars)

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried both of them and no issues found with Apps or system. Everything is working fine. However, I still don't see the functionality described below. This was in the 8.1 Mail app. How can we get this fixed?

Much needed functionality for business

View multiple calendars at the same time

Overlay the calendars

• 
  In Calendar, in the Navigation Pane, select the check box of another calendar that you want to view.
  
  The calendar that you selected opens next to calendar that is already displayed. Each successive calendar opens next to the one most recently opened.
  
• 
  On the Calendar tab, click View in Overlay Mode
  
  
  .
  
  That calendar is now in overlay mode with the one you opened first — usually your default calendar.
  
• 
  To add another calendar to the overlay, repeat step 2.
  

 

Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


"uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
