    Hi on 24th june 2018 Andre wrote how to declutter your computer see my upload. It was brilliant thank you soo much but as I have a really old computer that I am not even sure what version windows I have and am at uni I have filled it again. When I did a screenshot of the instructions i missed some of it off and now i can only get as far as deleting logs. Please can anyone explain the bits that are missing. Thank you

    :)

    Items pinned to Quick access are showing twice

    Daniel, just to let you know you aren't alone or crazy How do I declutter ;) I have the same problem. I did notice that changing the folder general option to 'open to this pc' instead of the default 'open to home' as Sumit suggested did prevent the pinned folder from showing up on the left pane under "Home", but it did still show up on the right pane when I clicked on "Home" in the left pane. So it decluttered the left pane a bit anyway, not sure if yours works the same way.

  4. How do I declutter

    Hi Greg!

    I went through most of your steps to no avail so I backed up my personal files and Did a complete reinstall of Windows 10.

    Took a while and I'm dreading the discovery of files I've lost/failed to back up.

    However, It seems to have worked and I now have connectivity throughout not just via Browsers!

    Good to declutter regardless, and I've had no further problems.

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

    Regards

    Andrew

    P.S. Would have been nice to know what the actual issue was?!
