  1. Windows 10 computer regularly refuses to open programs, or tabs.


    Once in a while my omputer randomly decides to not let me open anything new. If i try to open a new tab in Chrome for instance, it either doesn't open, or freezes instantly. Otherwise, if I try to open a regurlar program it just does not open. Windows usually functions normally apart from that - I can use the already oppened programs, and the home button reacts, the search function works, etc. But oppening something new just doesn't.
    Sometimes, oppening ctrl+alt+del, and then the Joblist works, but it takes a while in those cases before the ctrl+alt+del screen even shows. This has been going on since last fall, on/off sometimes for an entire month, sometimes for an hour. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    :)

    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

    Command line/tab

    QUESTION/suggestion:
    * Why not remember the last active tab?
    For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

    Does that make sense?

    Internet Explorer 11 Programs Tab Disappears When Clicked

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


    • What exactly do you mean by program tab disappears after you click it?

    • Do you face this issue specific with program tab or all the tab?
    I suggest you to open Internet Option from Command prompt and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps to open Internet Options.

    1. Press windows + R and type
    inetcpl.cpl.

    2. After opening the Internet options check if the issue still persist.
