  1. Why does Win 10 keep changing files?


    It appears that Win 10 changes things to the way it thinks you should have them. Internet history gone, excel files to older copies, or just disappearing files in the middle of working on them, and moving email files sometimes to "draft" while you are typing or just "disappearing" them. This sucks!

    Why does Microsoft keep changing the names or titles of things I have been using since CPM went out of business?

    Is there any way to recover the files I was working on? Document Recovery doesn't work of course.

    :)

  3. Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
