Windows 10: Simple Questions Thread - Week of August 16th, 2020

Welcome to the Simple Questions thread, for questions that don't need their own thread. We still recommend you use the search, FAQ/Wiki on the sidebar, or even a Bing search before asking. Also please post tech support related questions on /r/techsupport.

Some examples of questions to ask:

• 
  Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)
  
  
• 
  How can I get the 2004 update?
  
  
• 
  Can you recommend a program to play music?
  
  
• 
  How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?
  

Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.
