  2. N79; can't run " home media " menu

    sawatdee krap,

    maybe because you havent set any connections for "home media". i think it needs to connect with your computer. you also need to install SimpleCenter's Home Media Server software on your PC

    maybe this will help you -

  3. After I push the start button where is the computer button in pop up menu

    I'll take a wild guess that you are thinking of W7 with its My Computer button in its Start menu and then opening Windows Explorer at that point (if not in another menu itself). In W10 that's gone. You need to know that File Explorer (Windows Explorer's
    new name) can be started either from the Start Menu, the Taskbar (e.g. if pinned there) or by pressing Win-E (same as ever).



    FYI

    "File Explorer" button in Start menu is not working

    Can you launch explorer
    a. with Windows key + E?
    and
    b. with Windows key + R, then type explorer.exe in the Run box?

    IF you can open an instance of explorer, go here:
    C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools
    You could try copying an explorer shortcut into that from here (or similar folder - yours may not have quite the same title)
    C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer-shortcuts_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.0_none_443d824ebb4341e2

    Thanks for your help. Ends up it was a registry modification i did to get rid of "Quick access" in file explorer, so i reverted that and now it works fine.
