Dual Monitor Shortcut Windows10

Hi -

There is no way to create a shortcut to the Project Bar? Typing it in seems rather cumbersome. The Charm Bar was really convenient. Is there a Charm Bar in Windows 10? If so, I haven't been able to find it. It is cumbersome to have to type it into the
search bar every time, especially when using the computer as a Home Entertainment System.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

Charms bar is no longer available for desktop/laptop users in Windows 10 however there notification of Action Center.

Replacing the Charms bar is the Action center which has many of the same shortcuts as the Charms bar but also has a plethora of other information too. Notifications are now bundled into the Action center and the shortcuts to individual settings are still
easily accessible from this window.

I think the shape of my flag has changed:





used to look like this:

 

Strange. It's still the old default one for me. I can't see Microsoft changing their logo to that.

Did you install or use any sort of Start Menu or Start button program that may have changed it?

 

No, it's probably the theme patcher! *Sad

 

No longer valid in build 9926. *Sad
