    Windows 10 and Power Failures


    Is it just me, or is Windows 10 much less resilient when it comes to power outages? I remember back in the day when the power at the office would go out and when it came back on, the PCs just booted up. These days, I have to reinstall the OS on multiple machines after a outage. Once in a blue moon one of the repair options will work but for the most part I'm just wasting time doing OS installs.

    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

    Run the Power troubleshooter on the system.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
