    • Right-click Start, then select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters to find the name of your device.
    • Right-click the device and select Update Driver Software.
    • Follow steps to update display drivers.

    Strange language selection entries in Lockscreen

    Well, I went as suggested to
    Settings, Time & Language, Language

    BUT there is no such entry as
    "German (Switzerland)"
    or
    "QAB Unknown Locale (qab-Latn)"
    as visible in the screenshot in my first post.

    Instead it looks like:

    So again: How do I get rid of these keyboard entries?

    BTW: The problem has nothing to do with turning on or off the language bar indicator

    Strange "Select All" on desktop

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
