Windows 10: Windows 10 and the lack of window borders

I wanted to resurrect this still relevant issue that seems to be closed on the Community forums.

I just installed (May 2019) Windows 10.


As an aside- my favorite thing about it?: Now when I create or rename a file folder, the change is instant, no more having to refresh, or fiddle with view/registry settings that never seemed to work.


My least favorite thing about it: this depends on the day of the week- today, it's the lack of window borders.


Someone in another forum gave us the answer but created a little confusion with the word "drop". The term drop shadows is no more, now it's just shadows under windows. So, go to the Performance option and enable shadows under windows. Now you get a 3-d-shadowy border than I admit I don't like as much as a thin black line, but that's the only easy solution I've found. Fortunately, I don't notice any performance issue, but I'm sure if there are enough of these "enhancements" we'll all have to go shopping again for new motherboards and graphics cards LOL!


Thanks.

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 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
