Windows 10: Windows 10 celebrates its 5th birthday today

It may be the 5th birthday of Windows 10, but we are celebrating all the people who make it worth celebrating (psst… that’s you). Thanks a billion to everyone on Windows 10!

:)

 

Where does Windows 10 get its birthday calendar from?

Windows 10 sometimes displays birthday reminder notifications on the lock screen and desktop. In some cases these reminders show for people I've never heard of before. Checking Windows 10's calendar app lists the birthdays as an Outlook calendar, despite me never using Outlook on my PC.

Where is Windows 10 pulling its birthday information from?

 

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
