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

Win11: On switching Desktop, the personalization of the background resets to default

Dear Christian Kuknat,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community Support. I understand how frustrating it can be when your desktop personalization settings reset unexpectedly. Let’s work through this issue together to find a solution.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check Desktop Settings: Verify that each virtual desktop is configured to use the same personalization settings:
   
   • Open Settings and go to System > Multitasking.
     
   • Ensure that the option "On all desktops" under "Show windows that are open" is selected, as this can sometimes affect how settings are applied across multiple desktops.
     
2. Update Windows: Ensure your Windows 11 is up to date. Updates often include bug fixes that can resolve issues like this:
   
   • Go to Settings > Windows Update and click Check for updates.
     
   • Install any available updates and restart your computer.
     
3. Check for Software Conflicts: Sometimes, third-party software can interfere with personalization settings. Try performing a clean boot to see if this resolves the issue:
   
   • Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
     
   • In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, and click Disable all.
     
   • Go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.
     
   • Disable all startup items and restart your computer.
     
4. Reset Personalization Settings: Resetting the personalization settings might help:
   
   • Open Settings > Personalization.
     
   • Change the background to a different option (e.g., Picture), then switch back to Slide Show.
     

We hope these steps help resolve your issue. If you have any further questions or need additional support, please don't hesitate to ask.
