  1. Switching quickly between hobbies/work environments


    Hi!

    I am really not sure where to post this, but this seemed ok: I am noticing that I am constantly switching between working on different things (hobby, work, graphic design, investing) and changing my way of working takes quite some time.

    My question is; is it possible to automate/make this easier?

    For example, I would really like it if I pressed a shortcut on my desktop called "Graphic Design" and relevant websites would open, my Photoshop would open, my OneNote opens etc. I thought I could probably achieve something alike with the use of desktops (Windows key + Tab), but I am not sure if you can save desktops for certain uses and if this does not take too much CPU.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

  2. Airplane mode switch not working

    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.

    System environment variable won't stick


    Running Win10 Home on an Acer Spin 3, 64bit, i7cpu. I try to add a path to the system environment variables by:

    1. Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Environment variables

    2. The "Environment Variables" window opens.
    3. In the "System Variables" pane I select "Path" and click the EDIT button.
    4. A list of the current system paths is displayed.
    5. I click the NEW button, browse to the path I want to add which is "C:\Python36-32" and click OK. The path "C:\Python36-32" is added to the list of current system paths.
    6. I click OK and am returned to the "Environment Variables" window.
    7. I click the "X" at the top right to close the "Environment Variables" window.

    Now if I click the "Environment Variables" button again (end of step-1) and repeat steps 2-4, the new path I added in step-5 is gone. IOW, adding a new path won't stick.

    What am I doing wrong?

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
