Windows 10: Windows 10 bugs

Went into PC Settings/Display/More Options and set the option to "Larger" and that fixed me right up! Start-menu text is now at least 2x as large as it was--perfect size, really. I love the left/right-click nature of the new start menu, too!

Fine tune other text sizes by going to Desktop-right click/screen resolution/make text or other items larger or smaller...lots of nice options there, too.

(Egads...I see others beat me to it...*Wink)

 

I had a couple similar glitches on the '8' side as well; pretty smooth sailin' over here on the '10' side, *knock knock*! *Wink

(Hadn't been to the 8 side for a few days; boy, I had a whack of mail!)

 

Good to hear, folks. *Smile

 

Something in between is fine with me--I love choices and options. The way I understand it, in desktop mode you can still bring up a charm if you want it via a *keyboard shortcut.* Don't like charms? Don't use the keyboard shortcut. Makes perfect sense for the great majority of users who will not be using a touch UI, imo. I don't use the start screen at all--I really like the operation of the start menu--it could well be the best they've ever done. In desktop mode I cannot make any charms appear via any mouse clicks anywhere on screen--seems right to me.

 

Follow up on Edwin's post #15. Partitions and Removable are displayed so if you have multiple partitions then it'll make a long list in the pane. I took out Homegroup, Library, Folders under This PC so I would not have to scroll up and down in navigation pane but with this: hmmmmm

 

How did you get rid of Homegroup?

 

1- Control Panel->Home Group-> Leave Home Group
2- Open Services and disable: Home Group Listener and Home Group Provider

 

I am not sure if this has been posted. But switching from Start Menu To Start Screen. I have the problems as described in the screen shots. In the first screen I have to manually run Snagit:

 

Hmmm..., I'll have to mess with that one!?

Got rid of Homegroup btw, had to restart the 2 services before I could leave the Homegroup then disable them again! *Redface

 

I am using a USB drive, made from an ISO. I tried disabling USB 3, uninstalled VMWare workstation (for networking) but still no go. Tried about 10 times now LOL. Disabled Classic shell and my fancy keyboard drivers. If I really wanted to upgrade I would wipe it but this has me curious. I will keep going till I figure it out.

 

Bug or mysterious feature?

Some people get notifications in the lower right. Some in the upper right. I haven't been able to find why.

One person even said that he gets them in either location depending on the app. He used an example of the Timer app, saying that for him those notices display in the upper right; so, I immediately tried that app, since I have a "lower-right Win10," but they were in the lower right for me, killing that theory.

It's not the edition of W10, and not whether it was an upgrade.

 

I've had an issue where I'd be going crazy with the Virtual Desktops, resize the Taskbar to see what it looks like in 10 bigger, and then randomly not windows will want snap anymore. Closing all open windows and reopening them seems to fix that.

The other I'm having still is in the VM I have of 10, I cannot sign into my Microsoft Accounts at all. I can't add a Microsoft Account user, switch over to one, nor sign into apps separately. I wonder if it's the VM because it had connectivity issues at initial set up and couldn't sign me in...

Also, changing the title bar sizes only applies to Desktop apps, not the modern ones. And when you snap a Desktop app, the window control buttons stay the same size, but the title bar goes back to default size.
