    Locked out of Windows 10 desktop


    Whilst doing a routine copying of a document my computer switched off and when I restarted it, I got as far as the point where the desktop should appear but, after a long wait, a "Temporary" desktop appeared with a message saying that I was unable to access my windows account but the issue could be solved by switching off and re-starting. This simply didn't work. I have tried microsoft recovery without success. Any suggestions?

    :)

    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.”
    • Click OK
