    Wifi, Battery, Audio Icons not working PC randomly takes me back to homescreen


    Hi! So I have two problems...1. Wifi, Battery, and Audio Icons in the corner of the taskbar are not responding when I click them usually a pop-up menu would open if we left-click them, right?. They would respond if I right-click, but it is somewhat annoying needing to open the main audio/connection/battery settings themselves to adjust the volume or change wifi connections.2. Whenever I play a game, there would be times when it would take me back to the home screen the game would be minimized. I noticed that it's only for that software though. I don't usually play other games, just one. So

    :)

    changing Homescreen options

    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:

    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:

    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:


    Wifi, Battery, Audio Icons not working  PC randomly takes me back to homescreen [​IMG]


    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:


    Wifi, Battery, Audio Icons not working  PC randomly takes me back to homescreen [​IMG]


    Click Stop protecting:


    Wifi, Battery, Audio Icons not working  PC randomly takes me back to homescreen [​IMG]


    Confirm:

    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.
