Windows 10: How do I stop this 'recent' window popping in from left field

Every time my mouse pointer goes anywhere near the left of my screen the 'recent' window pops up. How do I stop it unless I actively tap it or invoke it.

:)

 

Windows 10 "Left Alt + Shift" language input switch suddenly stop working. It used to work before.

Hi Jida,

There are a few reasons why "Left Alt + Shift" is suddenly stopped working on your computer. Since you mentioned that you already tried some troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you create a
Test Profile. From there, check if the issue occurs.

To create a user profile, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
• Select Family & other people.
• Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
• Name the user as Test.
• Leave the password field blank.
• Hit Next.
• Sign in as Test user.

Let us know how it works.

 

Outlook Contacts fields sync

Hi Julie, thanks for the contact list fields.

My problem with contact sync:

• Windows Phone 7: contains a field "website"
• live.com(hotmail contacts): contains a field "website"
• Windows Live Mail 2011: contains 2 fields "personal website" and "work website"

Those 3 platforms don't sync these fields among each other. Do you have any ideas, suggestions?

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
