Windows 10: My PC running Windows 10 Home – Ver: 2004. With Start-up problem.

Sirs,

Every time I need to use my PC I have the same recurring problem. After switching on, it is 5 minutes before Windows Spotlight shows; nothing thereafter, for ever. Mouse movement activates the cursor across the screen but left click freezes the cursor. My external hard drive stops its intermittent fast flashing and remains as solid light. A few minutes after the freeze up, the monitor goes to sleep. At this time, I have to switch off the main button on the PC cabinet, wait one minute and then switch on again to go through the whole boot up process again. At this time the cursor does not freeze and the ‘sign in’ window appears. Signing in is then successful but no matter what application I am using the cursor will freeze spasmodically over a period of about 20/30 minutes. Only then am I able to use the machine trouble free. I’ve turned off all apps at start up but with no effect on the problem.

Guidance please.

:)

Start menu transparency -> Windows 10 ver. 2004

I was wondering is there a way to make the background 100%.

I have followed these steps but it doesn't work.

How to Increase the Transparency of Windows 10 Start Menu and Taskbar

I guess it'll work in previous versions.

I know there are programs that do this but I don't want to use any.

 

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

Fast Start-up doesn't work after updating to ver 2004

Hi,

I'm sorry that the solution provided previously didn't work so as to the next step in making the fast startup option work I would suggest you make sure Hibernate option is enabled, please follow the below to enable Hibernate along with Fast Startup Option

To make hibernation available, follow these steps:

Step 1:

Press the Windows button on the keyboard to open the Start menu or Start screen.

Step 2:

Search for cmd. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.

Step 3:

When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

Step 4:

At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate on, and then press Enter.

Step 5:

Restart the PC
