  1. Shutdown Windows 10 goes to white screen and locks if Excel open


    Computer does not indicate that an excel file is still open. When I select shutdown at the bottom left, Windows 10 tells me a program is still open, but if i select the CANCEL box or hit my Escape button, Windows makes the screen turn white and stays that way. It seems to only do it with excel, but that could be because excel is one of the primary programs I use. It seems like sometimes it has a file open but there is no indication in the task bar.

    :)

    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

    Shutdown Windows 10 goes to white screen and locks if Excel open

    Lock Screen Not Locking


    Hey Guys I've had some issues with the Windows 10 lock screen on my Surface Book. When I close the lid it's to set to sleep. When I open the lid half of the time it will use the camera to verify, and half of the time it will have just say swipe lock screen and provides no security. Also, when the screen times out it wont lock when a key is pressed to turn it back on, rather it just goes straight back into the desktop. I've looked through all the setting regarding the lock screen and sleep settings and haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

    -Cheers
