    I can't find files on Windows 10. I used to be able to but I am lost now with MS persistence to make every new windows version more complex and less user friendly!

    I looked for answers and followed the steps:

    1. Opened file explorer which look NOTHING like the screenshots you show on your answers;

    2. typed 'date modified' in the search box and NO calendar appeared.


    If you intend to sell windows and office to people at a certain level of computer knowledge and above, please say so in order for people like me to find other systems. But if you want to sell for all, then please give me a simple and direct answer with the screenshots that I will see, does not require use of programming abilities etc.

    How can I find files by creation, modification, date, time, size, words inside etc..???

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer


    My Desktop is showing icons as normal. But if I try to find what is on my desktop by using file manager, I cannot find the icon. I also checked under C;\user my name, public, default and no desktop listed on any of them. Any suggestions?
