  1. The function "Find my device" has a variable precision, Windows 11


    The function "Find my device" has a variable precision in the information that it emits in the Map and in the direction that it provides.When doing functionality tests, on more than three occasions it informs me of the address in all of them are variable, and even INCORRECT, that is, it does not even issue the address from where the location test has been performed. It would be helpful if this feature was corrected and refined, as it would help people, including me, find the device in the event of a theft.Thanks

    :)

    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?

    no longer able to set User's environment variables in control panel

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that you are not able to work on the Environment Variables in Windows 10 after the latest update to build 10586.3.

    The path to access the Environment variables in Windows would be:

    Control panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment variables.

    However, if the above is still in place, but however, you still face functionality issue, I would suggest you to rollback to the previous build and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Click on Start and select Settings and then choose Update & security.
    • Then click on ‘Recovery Options’.
    • Click on the ‘Get started’ button in the ‘Go back to a previous build of Windows’ option to start the recovery process.
    Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write t us and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
