    Tips, Thoughts, Thrills, Threats, Treats


    In no particular order:

    * Use Applications window >Run > shell:appsFolder
    * Pin Settings icon to Taskbar.
    * Have Storage Sense ON.
    * Set Edge Dev as DWB because it has neat things GA doesn't
    * Don't put 3rd Part securities or firewalls in Win10.
    * Let Win+X be your good friend. Learn the K/B shortcuts.
    * Have File Explorer > This PC > Folder Options, change from Quick Access to This PC
    * A. Edge ad blocker ON
    B. Edge pop-up blocker ON
    C. Edge Tracking Prevention to Strict.
    * Start can be without tiles
    * A. Desktops can be icon-free
    B. Employ Desktop toolbar Rt clk taskbar > Toolbars
    * A. USE VIRTUAL DESKTOPS
    B. >Settings > Multi-tasking
    Set Vitual desktops to:
    1. Taskbar - Onthe one I'm using
    2. Alt+Tab - ALL Desktops
    * Grab Notepads from Store. MUCH better than Notepad
    * Check Store for Updates
    * DO NOT EVER turn a "Production machine" into an Insider machine.
    Run Insider Builds as virtual machines, Dual-boots or on a "Spare box"
    * Middle Clking taskbar icons opens another instance.
    * Run MSRT occasionally Win+MRT
    * Set PrtScn to work Snip & Sketch > Settings & type Prt in Search
    * Edge can have vertical tabs & no title bar. Recommended
    * Recommended Edge Extensions:
    1. Microsoft Bing Quick Search
    2. Microsoft Editor
    3. Print Friendly & PDF
    4. Scroll to Top
    5. Office
    6. Peapix New Tab Backgound from Chrome Store. Allows 100% clean photo, can even shut off search bar. Optional; Bing page is damn nice, too.
    * Areo Clock is a great addition - https://theaeroclock.en.lo4d.com/windows
    * Make use of Collections
    * Make sure you keep everything 100% current
    * DO NOT connect a Win7 machine to the Net
    * DO NOT use IE or Edge HTML
    * Grab & use Windows Terminal from Store

    I'll probably think of more soon as I hit Post , Murphy's Law

    Cheers,
    Drew

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hello PaulPChou,

    This one works. You're correct I chose removed but it just doesn't remove the threats it says working and after working the threats are still listed. I ran the safety scanner, reboot, scan in safe mode, scan in clean boot but neither of those works to remove
    the listed threats.

    Just as I thought all I need is to manually delete the file where it contains the threats list just like a log file.

    Thanks for providing the path where it stores the list.

    Best regards,

    Lelouch

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Tips, Thoughts, Thrills, Threats, Treats :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
