  1. Possible to edit system files to change Action Center arrow back to x?


    Windows 10 has action center notifications pop up in the bottom-right of the screen. Previously, these could be closed with the 'x' button in the top-right of the notification. In the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update, Microsoft changed this to an arrow, assumingly to symbolize that the notification is being moved to the action center and not truly discarded.

    This has had noticeable usability ramifications though. Every time I go to close the popup, I instinctively pause for 1-2 seconds because the arrow is telling me "Continue, open this" rather than "Close this". Is it possible to edit system files to change the arrow back to an x?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 issue with typing and drop downs

    I had the same exact issue after upgrading from Win7 to Win10. Spent many hours online looking for a solution. Tried the ones listed above. No luck.

    What's the point of having a new shiny OS when you can't type anything Possible to edit system files to change Action Center arrow back to x? :) My daughter was so mad after the upgrade since she couldn't do her homework anymore on the laptop.

    This morning I reverted to . It was so easy to go , just one click and after 5mins you are . That's the only silver lining, the only good thing Microsoft had thought about while coming up with Win10. It's such a relief
    now. I can finally type.. woo hoo...

    Adios Win10. See you later or NOT.

  3. Outlook Calendar/ Contacts 'synch' with LG Windows 7 phone?

    Ok, how. I thought I had everything set to synch (at least my calendar), but to get everything "up in the cloud" I went to Tools->account settings. You're saying I can make my email remain on my WORK domain by default, but change the "data files" to
    windows live (Cloud), thereby enabling my calendar and contacts to synch with the Phone (and with my other computers). I'll try it...but it would all have been much simpler with an Outlook synch option (My company doesn't use Exchange).

    One remaining concern I have is what happens when I get a work invite into my calendar. If I accept it will it come from my work address or my personal address? I'm assuming it will come from my work address as that remains the default. However, I'm
    guessing I'll have to test it.

    I think the one thing that is disappointing me the most is how much time I've had to spend to get this phone to work. Luckily I'm smart, because the phone isn't. It's been a real trial, and I'm starting to regret leaving my iphone. I still have a couple
    of more weeks....I really do want this to work. But it has to apply to my work and personal life (I'm not fancy enough to carry a work phone and a steppin' out phone).
