    I just purchased a new desktop and wondered if there's an "easy way," to transfer programs from my old PC to the new one. I have my files on fob.


    Thanks,

    :)

  2. Windows 10 switching desktops (bug)

    • Press 'Windows' key. It opens the 'Start' menu.
    • Switch to any other desktop than current desktop using 'Ctrl' + 'Windows' + '->' (or '<-')
    • Press escape ( to get rid of 'start' menu)
    When I am taken back to the old desktop ( from where I switched to the new desktop).

    Is this a bug ? Sometimes while switching desktops, I accidentally press the windows key which reproduces this issue and it is irritating.

    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.

  4. Switching to a new Desktop

    New Apps not showing anywhere

    Hi Simon,

    I would suggest you add create a shortcut to these programs in the Desktop till we fix this issue. You can right click on the frequently used programs and select 'Send to Desktop' to create a shortcut for that program in Desktop. To troubleshoot this issue,
    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check:

    • Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
    • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannnow
    Try these steps and let us know the results.
