    This pops up constantly. I've been to Settings/System/Notifications. No "McAfee" or "McAfee and Norton" are there to toggle to "off." How do I kill it before it kills me?Also, there is nothing with the word "McAfee" in the list of apps to delete.As info, I have Spectrum's proprietary security package downloaded, installed and activated, so this McAfee thing has exceptionally bad manners.Thanks!

    :)

    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
