Windows 10: Quick question..

It seems for some reason that I can't expand the start menu horizontally. Vertical is fine but it's not moving in the horizontal direction past one column.

Here's how I set it up:
1 Upgraded Win8.1 to 10240 with an ISO
2 Tried to add/mod the start menu and it just will not move horizontally.. it did on previous builds.

Any thoughts/suggestions are very welcome.

quick question

Hi Andrew,

MSR partition is normally not shown in Disk Management and does not receive a drive letter or mount point. It is created by the operating system automatically, it contains additional space that the operating system might
need in performing disk operations.

If you have other concerns, don;t hesitate to get back to us.

 

quick question

So, i had to reinstall windows 10 pro on my c: drive....Reason i made a small mistake and installed it in Legacy mode..

Now i know once i delete the partition and recreate the partition before windows install i will have reserved partitions.

But a reserved partition as also been created on my d: drive.....What is this for ?

I removed all my drives and booted with only disk0 c:, windows 10 booted just fine with no problems, so now i have reinstalled all my drives.

But this reserved partition on my d: is showing up in My computer explorer....

I can assume that the partition is safe to delete as i had no problems booting windows with only disk0 c:......

Can someone confirm ? Here is a screen of disk management.

EDIT: Also if i must keep that partition intact is there a way to remove it from harddrives available In My Computer ?

Plus This is new install with correct partitions on c: I will make a full windows backup of the install with all my apps and settings in drive f:....

Soon i will buy a new SSD for the OS, Can i just remove c: drive and install new SSD c: then run recovery and use the image backup on f: to restore the system as it was on the old HDD ?

EDIT2: I have a bootable copy of win10pro on usb having this....Do i need a seperate USB recovery drive ? Or the Win10pro bootable install will have the options i need if i ever need to restore backup.

 

Not sure on fix, but something to try

set start menu to full screen
add a few items to it
turn off full screen
see if it's now adjustable

 

Bingo!! Fixed it.. thanks much Paul!! *Biggrin

 

*Biggrin, good to hear it's fixed

 

Sure is,.,, it was a bit odd at first but now it works just fine.
Build 10240 is perfect for me so far.

 

little things like this worry me slightly so close to release

I doesn't bother me personally if little things don't work, but when the masses download it could give a bad impression from the start

 

True.. and for people who've not tested it at all this could be a deal breaker for them. Heck, and some who have as well. But there will be niggles along the way and no OS is perfect. But so far this is a very good, stable and fast OS.

 

Hi there

How do I set it to full screen -- can't see any way to do it.

Cheers

Turn Use Start Full Screen on..

 

Unless it has moved again

Should be in Settings, Personalisation, then Start

Hi there

Thanks

The original problem was that unless windows was activated it wouldn't allow you to personalize.

My method of restoring an image from an activated VM worked just fine so it's all working now.

Thanks
