Windows 10: time sync in windows 10

Problem:

A friend has an 8 years old HP Notebook and because of it's age the cmos battery does not longer function and so the time is hanging down in the morning like other body parts.

I looked in the hw manual for the replacement chapter and found, that the cmos-battery is placed at the underground of the motherboard and I had no fun to disassemble the whole notebook through hazardous area.


My circumvention for this problem was, to build a command, that can synchronize the date and time for Windows 10 with one click:

For this purpose I build a bat-file, which contains: c:\windows\system32\w32tm /resync /nowait

But the bat file must run with admin-rights, so I build a link to that bat-file and gave it admin rights through the extended properties.

So I can put the link into autorun or start it individually.


If You have a better idea, please contact me. Thanks.


YS, Sepp.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
