    Vanishing shadows under windows (Windows 10)


    A problem many people have referred to is the white frame of the selected explorer window which makes it indistinguisheable from white backgrounds. The usually recommended solution is to specify a frame color. Unfortunately, this changes also the color of the title bar, which to me is not aesthetical and disturbing. Thus the shadows under the windows is my preferred way of still seeing where an explorer-window stops.


    For the past few weeks now, "something" in my computer has been constantly removing the selection "Show shadows under windows" in the Performance Options! I put the mark, and sure enough, after half an hour or so the box is unchecked again and gone are the shadows. I had to put a shortcut to the settings on the desktop, but this is not the way to go, and the problem is maddening. So: what is this? A bug in the latest Windows Update? A program that changes the setting without asking (maybe trying to enhance the performance)? I've seen one or two people having the same problem, but they don't seem to have gotten any solution to the mystery.


    Please HELP !


    (P.S. If no solution is to be found, I would kindly ask Microsoft to disconnect frames from title bars, so as to make it possible to specify a frame color and leave the title bar alone.)

    :)

    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
