  1. Restart closes Windows 10 but does not reboot.


    Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 whenever I use the Restart button Windows closes OK and my computer continues to run, but Windows fails to reboot and I have to press the Reset button to get it to reboot.

    Power settings are the same as I had in Win 7 and the Shutdown and Sleep modes work OK.

    How can I get it to reboot Windows on the Restart?

    :)

    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
