    Why I left Windows 10 and will probably never return


    This is really just a rant against the current state of Windows 10 and why I recommend you ditch it in favor of another operating system. Please hear me out, because you might be pleasantly surprised by the results I got.So it all started when I got a new laptop. Right out of the box, it came with a copy of Windows 10, which is pretty common for a new PC. As soon as I started the system up, everything ran very sluggishly. In an attempt to troubleshoot the problem, I brought up the Task Manager and saw my HDD yeah, still using a platter hard drive was at 100% usage without letting up, even th

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
