    Filename sorting doesn't work correctly in Windows 10


    This is definately a bug...

    When sorting filenames in ascending order, why a space character has a lower value than a null character?

    For example, this is what I get:


    File A.txt

    File.txt

    FileA.txt


    or


    File - Copy.c

    File.c


    PS: I've already tried changing the value of "NoStrCmpLogical" in the registery. It doesn't affect this issue.


    It looks as if the "." character is included in the sorting which is silly. But now days with file names that have multiple "." characters, I guess there's no work around this. Or is there?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows Edge still doesn`t work correctly

    It is now 6 weeks since I upgraded to 10 and Windows Edge still does not work correctly.

    I cannot download anything with Edge (or ie11). It includes all sites eg, Microsoft, Logitech, Epson etc.

    Dynamic links do not work and it doesn`t remember my log-in details although it asks if I want it to remember them.

    Favourites do not get put on the favourites bar although I click on that option.

    I have done all the advice I`ve been given, ie disable anti-virus etc.

    Why do they have a Windows support tile if it doesn`t work?

    Can anybody help me?

    Windows Edge still doesn`t work correctly

    Hi,

    Thanks for your ideas. I tried exactly as you said but it made absolutely no difference.

    I still can`t download, still doesn`t remember login details although it still asks me if I want the details remembered.

    Do you or anybody else have any ideas to help. It`s too late now for me to go back to Win 8.1 so I`m stuck with an os that doesn`t work properly.

    Thank you.
