  1. format .png files show up in file explorer with a black background, instead of being...


    This thread had basically the same question and it was never answered correctly:


    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...n-i-save/710f5aa6-6f3d-49b9-8b0b-29892235e5ee


    The answers were about browsers, other programs etc. etc. The thread was closed and I guess the person gave up. Please see if someone can help with the actual problem: viewing transparent graphic files in the .png format in file explorer with a transparent background, instead of showing black. It makes it so hard to actually see what the graphic looks like, especially if there is black text.


    I use file explorer to view my graphics and pick which one I want to use. This is so annoying that it doesn't show correctly and no one seems to help with the problem. At least give me an answer, even if its that "nothing can be done because file explorer does not work very well and is very inefficient." That answer I could understand, but I am hoping for something better.


    The above link has a screen shot showing the problem.


    I wish there as another software out there that works like file explorer, but without all the problems.


    Thanks for any solutions you or anyone else can give me.

    Nancy

    Black File Explorer

    We suggest that you start your PC in Safe mode and see if File Explorer still shows a black image when you access your files. Safe Mode would help isolate the issue by starting Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It may help
    distinguish what's causing the issue, if the problem does not happen in Safe Mode, then we'll know that the default settings does not cause the issue.

    You may start your PC in Safe Mode by following the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
    • Select Update & security > Recovery.
    • Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
    • After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select
      Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings
      > Restart.
    • After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4
      or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode.

    Black/greyish background in windows explorer.


    I found this image on the internet somewhere. How can I have such dark interface in windows 10 file explorer ?

    Moreover, this is not a separate file manager. If you take a closer look on the left edge, you can see the a cropped portion of list having pinned shortcuts which is also dark.

    Windows 7 File Sharing between computers, PROBLEMS!!

    Just do a file transfer in explorer from one computer to the other and see what speed you get. I would suggest avoiding homegroup and using a proper network setup instead.
