  1. Windows 10 Credentials Problems and Questions


    Couple of questions:#1: Saw no request for a user/password when reinstalling Windows 10. I was asked for my Microsoft site ID during install which is my email and a password given a long time ago, plus asked for PIN#. The PIN# is what I use to logon to my Windows 10 machine. What has happened to the actual machine user and password to do admin tasks? I never see the opportunity to see, set, or ask for that choice since my reinstallation. #2: When I try to connect to other Windows 10 systems on my local LAN, I am asked to enter an ID and Password for that Host in order to see files in the File

    Windows Network Credentials

    Hi Keith,

    We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

    • In the search box type “Services
    • Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator
    • In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
    • Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
    • Restart the computer again.

    Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.

    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
