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.”

Disable Absolute Volume in Windows 10 bluetooth stack

A few months ago Windows 10 introduced update 1803, which changed the volume control for bluetooth devices. My Augustus EP650 bluetooth headphones used to have separate volume control on the desktop and on the device itself (e.g. you could make the Windows volume very loud, but the device volume very quiet, for an average final volume). After the update both volumes are now linked and change together.

This wouldn't be a problem, if the minimum volume wasn't extremely loud, the granularity decreased to 6 points, and going below 6 more often than not mutes the headphone permanently until a restart.

Searching around I found a reddit thread from around the same time, and the following comment from a Microsoft developer:

Windows 10 latest update removed bluetooth volume granularity. : Windows10

I have all available Windows updates and updated drivers, and the headphone works fine on my Android phone.

How do I disable this "absolute volume" feature to regain the level of control that was available before?
