    Right Clicking This PC icon


    So I just upgraded to Windows 10 20H2. Now when I right click on This PC icon it goes to About. Why the hell did Microsoft do this? Every since Windows 95 25 years it has always went to system. Now Microsoft has to change it?
    Why did they change it? Is my Imagination or is it the same for everyone? I know most people don't go to system like that anymore but I still do. And I think it was dumb for Microsoft to change it. Even if you go to Control Panel and click
    System it goes to About.

    Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.572)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
     
  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Right Clicking This PC icon

    Issues with displaying of details when right clicking on Windows document icons in Windows 10 computer.

    All the above settings mentioned in the earlier email are correct on my pc but I still cannot access the details on icon shortcuts on the task bar when I right click it. Also, when I left click the Windows icon on the taskbar, it no longer displays the
    listing of the programs on the start menu as there is no response.
