    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

  4. Windows 10 freeze, BSOD, flickering cursor, defender won't open

    I cannot open Windows Defender Security Center -- I get a flickering wheel by my mouse cursor when I try.

    Hi, I have a new (to me) Dell 7040 Optiplex SFF running Windows 10 Home.

    I very recently reinstalled the operating system (twice). However, I am still getting "freezes" across different applications. Applications regularly freeze for about 15-25 seconds.



    I had ResMon running and saw that MsMpEng.exe is continually writing a constant amount to my SSD. About 450,000 B/sec. This is Windows Defender.

    I want to see what happens if I turn it off for a spell. However, I am unable to do this.

    I can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security.

    But when I try clicking on "open Windows Defender Security Center", nothing opens at all.


    HOWEVER, my mouse cursor gets a Blue Wheel that flickers on and off rapidly. It is basically blinking. This effect persists until I restart my computer.



    What is going on? Any ideas or suggestions?
