  1. windows 10 full scan ignores ScanAvgCPULoadFactor - is this just me or is this a bug?


    Hi, I only use Windows Defender Antivirus , but the FULL scan is not obeying ScanAvgCPULoadFactor which is currently set to 50%. Quick scans are fine and don't exceed the threshold, but the full scan is using 90-95% of the CPU. This makes the laptop unusable when a full scan is running.


    Is anyone else having this issue ?


    Specs & Build:


    Processor IntelR CoreTM i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 GHz

    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Installed Ram 8GB 7.85 GB usable

    Edition Windows 10 Home

    Version 20H2

    Installed on ‎21/‎06/‎2020

    OS build 19042.746

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0



    Thanks.

    :)

    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

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
