Windows 10: New desktop features: recent activity and multiple destop icons at the top of the screen.

How can I disable this new 'Timeline' thing and how can I reset the multiple desktop icons to the bottom of the screen, please?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Windows 10 has a feature to create multiple desktops that can have a wide range of apps. For us to help you with your concern and delete the second desktop, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

• On the taskbar, select the Task View icon.
• Desktop 1 and Desktop 2 will appear at the bottom of your screen.
• Hover your mouse at the Desktop that you'd like to delete. Click the
  red X icon at the top to delete the Desktop permanently.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you check this article:
Multiple desktops in Windows 10 for further reference.

Let us know the results.

 

Feature suggestion: Add "Options" screen + add icon for it

Suggestion:
The place for the options, namely the top left corner system menu, is a bit strange, most similar programs do not use it like that.
Most programs use a separate Options (or maybe Settings, whichever sounds best) screen.

So, I suggest for the menu items in the system menu to become like this:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Close
Check for Update...
Options
Read Asic Quality
Launch GPU-Z Instaler
About...
(or maybe Always on Top option can also stay)

Also, optionally I suggest adding a Gear or maybe Wrench icon next to the Camera icon in top right.
When that Gear or Wrench icon is clicked, for the Options/Settings screen to appear.
Where we have the Tooltips, Always on Top, Tooltip language and the other options.

What do you think? Thanks for any comments!

NOTE: Also, if the Size system menu item as well as the Restore menu item are not needed, they can both be removed. It is not trivial, but there is a way. *Smile
