  1. New App windows opening in other monitor


    Hi, I am a software developer and am extremely busy. I have two monitors and Windows 10. It is extremely frustrating to have to chase new windows around when they open. I would like new app windows, for example Windows Explorer, aka File Explorer, to open in the monitor with the current focus. I do not want the standard answer of using the Winkey and arrows to move the windows. That is not an answer. I don't want to move them and I don't want to chase them around. They always seem to open in the monitor that does not have focus.Is there a fix for this?Thanks in advance

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. New App windows opening in other monitor :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

    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
