Windows 10: Question about default software loading/boot-up configurations on Windows 10

I wanted to know whether or not there was a way to make it so software boot-ups wouldn't automatically go fullscreen and stop the PC from being responsive until the software finished loading (mostly in games and etc) and instead make it load minimized by default. Can this be done somewhere in the configs?

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

My Windows 10 system loads to Boot manager when starting up

Hi,

I realize that the Windows Boot manager shows up every time you start the system.
Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Did you previously had dual boot setup?

You may follow the below steps and check if it helps.

1. Press Windows Key + R Key, Run window will appear.

2. Type msconfig and hit enter. System configuration box will open.

3. Select the boot tab, now check you see other OS apart from Windows 10 listed.

4. Select the Windows 10 option in the list.

5. Click "Set as default".

6. Now if the time out sets as 30 seconds after clicking on Set as default, you may change it to 0.

7. Click on Apply.

8. Now restart the system and check.

You may try the given suggestion and get back with the results.

Thank you.

 

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
