  1. Windows 10 freezes at lock screen


    Upon wake-up from sleep mode, my computer will occasionally freeze at the lock screen rather than show the login bar. It only shows the background image and no other functionality is available while it is doing this. The only way I could resolve it is to force reboot via the power button. I haven't installed any updates prior to this issue occurring, and I have since updated my computer which did not resolve this issue.

    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
