  1. Why has Microsoft still not Fixed Network Browsing in Explorer broken by Windows 10 Update


    Windows 7 has always had robust Network Browsing while Opening Explorer and clicking on Networks. ALL Lan devices are seen and revealed in the list relatively promptly and all are accessible. Never had a problem.


    In contrast Windows 10 has inconsistently done this and after recent updates it is like Roulette -- Computers showing up one day then disappearing another Day. WHEN is Microsoft going to fix this in an UPDATE !!!!!


    Yes there are work-runarounds like typing the arcane \\devicename or looking up the IP Address in your Router or Fixing the IP address and remembering what they all are when they next disappear. But we should not have to do this!


    On and there are multiple post to go thru services etc -- BUT we should NOT have to do this. I have 1400 Clients with the same problem and I have had to set them up with Dropbox or Equivalent which DO work reliably - BUT we should not have to do this!!


    MICROSOFT YOU Broke it in your PUSHED UPDATES - YOU should FIX IT !

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Why has Microsoft still not Fixed Network Browsing in Explorer broken by Windows 10 Update wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    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
