    "This PC" has a (2) next to it while in start menu, What does that mean?


    As the title says, I just finished building a new PC & I'm setting it up, saving things where I want them and when I saved "This PC" to the start menu for ease of access, I noticed it has a (2) next to it. I don't know why, I don't have two copies open?



    The only thing I could imagine is that I'm signed into my old PC to in the other room which both are signed into the same user account, but I don't really see how that would have an effect in this situation. I have a laptop also logged in and that didn't cause a problem.



    Any suggestions on what's causing that setting in windows 10?

    Windows 10 Start menu is empty

    Hi. Steps 1 and 2 didn't do much but step 3 has restored what looks like the list of original Microsoft apps but no sign of any of the many apps I have installed. And there are no tiles in the start menu. Any suggestions please?

    "This PC" has a (2) next to it while in start menu, What does that mean?

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
