  1. Windows 10 changes the name of the file type when searching


    After upgrading from Windows 10 1903 to 22H2 still on 10 I started having problems with searching for files on my system, I use the normal Windows search and there's some bug or something. The thing is, when I search for some files, say in downloads, the file type shows up fine, like in the second screen shot, but when I enter any file type into the search, it shows up with a completely different name. Here are some examples, when I search for wav files, mp3 and jpg, they all display differently, I know it's not critical but it confuses me and I often get confused when I see it, how can this

  2. Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

    Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

    I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

    Thanks, again.

  4. Windows 10 changes the name of the file type when searching

    How do I change the network adapter name? (Windows 10)

    Press Windows Key + R, type secpol.msc and press Enter to run it. In Local Security Policy window, go to the Network List Manager Policies in the left pane. Now in the right pane double click on the network name that you want to change. In the Properties windows under the Name section make sure that Name is selected. Now in the input field enter the name that you wish to use for your connection. Click Apply then OK to save the changes. And you might have to log in again or to restart your computer before the changes are applied.
