    My downloads are going in another place


    So I messed up, first I somehow merged my Desktop with 3D Objects while moving them into the HDD drive, then I fixed that, although the User Profile folder is replaced by 3D objects. Then another mess came, while I was restoring everything, since the Downloads etc. got moved, I reset to default their location. Now, the problem is, when I download stuff It goes into D:\Users\3DObjects\s\Downloads. It doesn't go in to the legitimate download folder instead it creates a download folder and puts it in there. Please help

    :)

    Cant place icons on certain places on dekstop

    We appreciate the information you've provided. We suggest downloading the latest update, KB4020102, to see if that resolves your concern with the icon placement.
    To do that, go to Settings > Update & Security
    > Check for Updates.

    We also recommend changing the desktop icon settings. To access it, follow these steps:


    • Click Start.

    • Type Themes and press Enter.

    • Click Change desktop icons.

    • Uncheck Allow themes to change desktop icons.

    • Click Apply.

    • Click OK.

    After installing the latest updates and changing the desktop icon settings, check if you can place icons on the left side of your screen.

    Let us know if what happens to your icon placement after following these steps.

    Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


    If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
    Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
    1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

    2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

    3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

    4. Click OK.

    5. Restart for the changes to finish.

    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!
