Windows 10: Why did the holiday / special event graphics and the news stop showing on my start menu in...

I used to get highlights of the news and graphics for events like a solar eclipse or a holiday such as easter on my start menu on Windows 10 but now they just don't show up at all since the end of March, and I have not turned it offWhy are they not showing for me now?

Events 4672 & 4624 Win 10 Freezes - special LOGON ?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Are you on a domain network?
   
2. May I know the make and the model number of your system?
   

The event logs you have provided seems to be the security logs that is generated when you login to your system. For more information on the event that was generated, you can check
4672(S): Special privileges assigned to new logon.

The Windows error logs will be located at Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System.

Please follow the step below and check if it works for you.

Step: Improve Windows 10 Performance.

Try some of the following suggestions to help
make your Windows 10 PC run better. The steps are listed in order, so start with the first one, see if that fixes the problem, and then continue to the next one if it doesn’t.

Note: The last step on the article contains Windows Reset, I suggest you not to perform Windows reset, as there is a change your data and applications will be wiped and also
the OS will reverted back to previous version you upgraded from.

If the issue still persists, please reply to this post with more information so that we can identify the root cause of this issue and assist you further.

Hope it helps.

Event Viewer stopped showing new events

I did the first 5 suggestions in the provided link & it made no difference.

I’m trying to run a lean machine & don’t want to Create a new user account.

Some earlier versions of Windows 10 did not show EventID 100 and this was a known issue. My version does so I do not want to lose that ability.

Mine just stopped showing any new Events as of 11-24-2022, at least for the Source mentioned.

It does update for other sources such as: Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Powershell > Operational.

So why doesn’t Diagnostics-Performance > Operational get updated?

That said, I did get it to update by Restarting the Event Viewer, but it only updated by adding two listings.

As mentioned, my problem started on 11-24-2024. I looked in Control Panel > Installed Updates and on 11-24-2022 Windows installed Servicing Stack 10.0.19041.2180 and Security Update (KB5019959).

I wonder if either of those caused the problem.

Note: How come copy/paste into this Reply box does not work properly? It either word wraps by cutting words in half or it just lets them run off into a long sentence that requires the use of the scroll bar to view it.

 

how do i reset the start menu in windows 10 to not show tiles?

A few days ago, my friends Win10 computer stopped showing his desktop and now only shows the tiles (he wants to see the default list of programs, not any tiles).

Clicking on the Windows key or "start menu" doesn't change anything. I stepped him through some online suggestions (including Settings/Start/Use-start-full-screen and making sure Settings/Table-mode was not engaged) but they don't work.

I've also compared his settings (Start/Use-start-full... and Table-mode) to my Win10 machine and they are the same.

Assistance/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
