    Windows 10 is not allowing me to change a file name using the keyboard.


    No warnings are popping up but the os is not allowing me to type a new name for the file using the keyboard, not even ctrl v works. The only way it allows me to change the name is if the old name is highlighted.

    UPDATE: The os is not allowing me to use the mouse to paste new text in the file.

    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
