Windows 10: How can I encourage Microsoft to make Windows 10 version 19H1 even more cloud-enabled?...

It's very likely my 15.6" FHD Dell Inspiron 7558 2-in-1 will be able to be upgraded to the Windows 10 October 2018 update coming next month as well as Windows 10 version 19H1 in perhaps six months from next month. On top of the clipboard gaining OneDrive integration, what can I do to urge there to be even more cloud capabilities in Windows 10 version 19H1? I want the File Explorer to be completely able to sync with my Microsoft account, such as how all the folders are arranged and display my files, including, but not limited to, the folders on quick access and how files are sorted, grouped, and displayed in each OneDrive and quick access folder. I don't like having to put all those things back the way they were one folder at a time when I reset my PC or get a new PC. I'll attach a screenshot of how I want things to look across my devices, especially when I upgrade my Dell Inspiron 7558 2-in-1 to a newer model with nothing other than a 15.6" full HD screen in at least 2020. Note that the quick access is missing iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive between the Favorites and Music local folders since I'm waiting for version 7.7 of iCloud for Windows to come out maybe this month before I reinstall it.





I want my OneDrive and quick access folders to look different based on how I like it best for each folder with each look in those folders synced with my Microsoft account as an option. For example, this is how I want my OneDrive Magazines folder to look like: extra large icons with everything grouped and sorted in reverse alphabetical order. That way, everything's in reverse chronological order. Note my File Explorer has trouble loading thumbnails.

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

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
