    Setting Downloads to Desktop on Windows 10


    I just bought a new laptop that came with Windows 10 installed and now all of my downloads go to a Downloads folder. I prefer for downloads to go to my desktop as that is my working platform. I hate opening folders, searching through folders, looking for my downloads or having to remember the download name for easy search.


    Is there any way that I can format this please? It is seeming like it's impossible but I don't want to believe that Microsoft would completely remove this option. My previous laptop came with Windows 8 and an option to install Windows 10 (which I did) so it was a strange hybrid beast.


    Please help! I'm not too techy so I'm hoping for responses that do not require coding or typing funny letters in the backend of the system.


    Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows 10 download speed issues

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.

    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
