    Strange things happening since last upgrade


    My last upgrade was to Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.64). Since then when my computer goes to sleep, on awakening the open windows are resized and moved about 60 to 70% of the time. This never happened before the upgrade. Personally I think it might be a hardware issue. I use an external monitor for my laptop, the PROJECT is always set to ‘Second screen only’ unless I need to extend it, which is just once in a while. Very seldom when I wake up the computer the PROJECT is set to ‘PC screen only’. This is similar to a problem I had when I first got the laptop, it took the manufacture a total of two months get it fixed, I hope I don’t have to go through that again.The second issue I’m having is the navigation pane in Windows Explorer used to have all the network locations, now under This PC, this is all I get:

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and frustration you have been through. I will be glad to assist you.

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    1. Does this issue occurs when using any particular app or program?

    2. Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

    I suggest you to install any pending updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

    I suggest you to follow the Steps below and check if it helps.

    Try perform clean boot

    A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7,
    or Windows Vista. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

    To disable all non-Microsoft services consult the article called Clean Boot.

    Follow:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135


    Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"

    Applies to Windows 10

    Hope it helps. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further query, feel free to contact us.

    Thank you.
