    updates to Windows 10 in S mode


    Have a laptop running 10S, I get popups upon startup that there are updates. Are these okay for 10S? I read where you can change out of S but not get back and I wonder if the updates would take me out of S mode. Obviously, I know nothing!!!!

    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
