  1. on Windows 10 -- had a sudden change in display


    I am uncertain what happened. I was on in mid-afternoon and everything was as it usually has been.


    I came back after dinner and found numerous changes in my display ... font was smaller, colors on Background photo were off, colors on menu bar had changed,


    I tried to find a way to see the history of changes to discover what had changed ... and could not find it. If there is such a log, please let me know.


    I then tried to recreate elements of display, experimenting to shift font, display colors, and move from the original background photo to another I know well to see how colors were affected. I was able to make some changes, but not get fully back to what I had.


    If possible to get settings backed up a day, that would be great. Otherwise, I guess I will set to defaults and begin to reconstruct my preferences.

    :)

    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
