  1. Clicking taskbar icon starts wrong program.


    I have a Bible program in my taskbar that when I click on it, a popup appears asking if I want to continue installing Office Professional 2003, which is already installed. If I let it run the message pops up that is attached by screen capture. Even if I try to start eSword from ‘All Apps’ I’m presented with the same issue. After clicking in the cancel window some 4-5 times of the Office window, then eSword will open. It isn’t a major issue, just a nuisance.
    It must have something to do with the fact that I finally got back to Windows 10 Pro from a Reflect Image backup I did back in July when I first up-graded to 10 from 7.
    Any suggestions why this is happening?

    :)

  2. How to launch an installed app outside of Store

    (You find it from recently added programs from the start menu) right click on the icon>more >pin to taskbar.

    Or other method: right click on the icon> pin to start>right click on the pinned icon from the start menu>more>pin to taskbar

    If you not have a icon on the start menu try the following : use the cortana search bar enter the text Windows Scan>right click>pin to taskbar.

    Regards.

    Clicking taskbar icon starts wrong program.

    Hi, when you restored the image, was what you restored sufficient to give you a completely consistent working environment?

    For example, some people install programs on D:. Did you restore only all the Windows partitions (Recovery, System, your Windows partition, EFI partition (assuming you use UEFI)?

    And what happens if you make the required file available?
