Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

0x8024000b Windows Update error on metered connections


I was receiving the 0x8024000b error on Windows Update since 1803 and searched everywhere for more info, a quick google search shows a lot of "fixes and workarounds" for this error I and have tried at least 5 different solutions, only to see the error returning

I use Win10 Home, so I cannot use gpd and the like to control the way windows update works, and I've read that setting your connection to a metered one makes the windows update operates in a "manual mode " and true, it's working quite well for me

Until this 0x8024000b error on 1803, and through testing I discovered this error only happens when I set the connection as metered

My question is - Is there a fix? Or a way for Win10 Home users to fully control how Windows Update works?
