    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

    Windows 10 Light Gray Text

    Older versions of Windows used to display text in plain black (or whatever other solid color was chosen), and you could control the color of each graphic element used in Windows and many apps, then save all your choices forever.

    Now in Windows 10 your choices are few, and the settings are hard to adjust. But even if you choose High Contrast and turn off ClearType, text is still displayed poorly, with horrible default colors. I can't tolerate the ugliness of High Contrast, even
    with my own customizations, so that is not an option for me. But if High Contrast is turned off, text (in Light themes) is always shown in gray. Magnification reveals that many colors are actually used. In this very text you are reading, the colors range from
    #000000 (black) through #441f10 (brown) all the way to #e1ffff (a very light blue). There is no option to display text in black, or even just in shades of gray! Again, turning off ClearType doesn't help; the text still looks gray.

    If I had an option to make all regular text boldface, and and to make all bold text extra heavy bold, I would choose that and be very happy. In some apps I can indeed do that, and the result is wonderful. But not in Windows itself and all apps that use Windows
    settings.

    I think this gray text is a bug in Windows, and should be fixed. None of the published suggestions worked for me, except for fiddling with the graphics device brightness and contrast properties, which does help a little. But the text still looks gray!

    Some programs choose their own colors, but even then, in most cases, the same range of colors is used to make the text appear dim.

    Note: There is already a post by this name here, from 2015, but it did not help me. If there is a way to post a Windows bug report, I hope someone will do it. Why do we have to strain our eyes to use our computer?
