    For some reason some microsoft edge windows show up as explorer on my task bar


    Not sure why but I have multiple desktops that I switch between. When i switch to one that does not currently have an edge window open, it shows that i have a file explorer window open, go to highlight on it and it shows the other edge windows i have open on other desktop screens. Any solution?

    Microsoft Edge - Show all tabs in task bar

    One of the things that I liked about Internet Explorer was that it showed all of the tabs that you had opened in the task bar. Microsoft Edge has gone down the same path as Chrome, showing each window in the task bar and not each tab. Is there a way to change this back to the IE behaviour?

    Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

    Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
