    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

  3. EXE Files not running after upgrade to Windows 10

    I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 recently. After the upgrade, I am unable to open .EXE files. The files just don't open without showing any other notifications. Suggest a solution for the same.

    EXE Files not running after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi Sujay,

    Welcome to Microsoft community.
    We understand that, you are unable to open .exe files on your system and we are glad to assist you.


    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

    • What are the applications or programs, are you trying to open?
    • From where did you install the applications on your system?
    Lets try to perform a clean boot and check, if it works. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Disclaimer: After clean boot troubleshooting steps, refer to the section "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" in the provided link to return your computer to Normal startup mode.

    Thank you.
