Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

setting for default action when replacing file

What @spunk posted is correct. However, @rtischer8277, what you posted looks like what happens when you download a file (app, song, pic, etc.) to your default Download folder (usually C:\Users\{user name}\Downloads) and that file already exists. The system will append (1), (2), (3) to distinguish it from the original or any other duplicates. I don't know of any way to change that behavior, perhaps someone else does.

 

Saving a File with Name of File that Already Exists

With Windows 10 on my PC, when I now save an amended document (example: a form that has now been e-signed by a client) to a filename that already exists, I am prompted to answer Yes or No to "replace existing file". I click yes. But, the newly save version
of this file is never the new, amended version; instead, the file is the original version. How to fix this???!
