  1. How do I take control of my PC BACK from Win 10?


    Microsoft keeps changing my personal folders from the drive where I want them to some cloud space called OneDrive that I have ZERO interest in.
    All of my folder settings keep getting reverted to the LEAST EFFICIENT way to view them large icons ?!
    None of the changes I make are being retained.

    At this point I can't even get any work done because I am constantly FIGHTING with the goddamn operating system!

    Is there anything I can do to prevent any of this?
    Is there any way I can take control of my PC this side of replacing the OS which is starting to look really tempting.

    And seriously: what the actual ****?

    :)

    Can’t connect Xbox one controller to pc

    Hello SubieTY,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Initially, we need to pair the device to show up in the list while connected through Bluetooth. Check with the below mentioned steps and see if it works.


    Hope it helps.

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???

    Xbox One Controllers not working on Windows 10 PC.

    Hi,

    One possible reason as to why your Windows 10 device can't detect the controller is due to outdated device drivers. We suggest checking if there are updates available for the controller and your Windows 10 PC. Refer to the following links for the steps:


    Another solution we recommend is to run the Windows troubleshooter for devices and driver. This can help resolve issues with connecting a device on Windows 10.
    See How to use Microsoft easy fix solutions and look for Find
    and fix problems with devices and hardware
    .

    If the same issue occurs, kindly perform the following steps to manually add the controller:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Devices.
    • Select Connected Devices.
    • If the controller is not listed under Other devices, kindly click Add a device. Follow the on-screen prompts to manually add the device.
    • Restart your computer so that the changes can take effect.

    Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.
