  1. Windows 10 Locked in Performance/Gaming Mode?


    I had a BSOD.

    Now all my windows have no transparency.

    My colors are very contrasty.

    It looks like Windows95(Like if you ALT+TAB from a game).

    I tried adjusting visual effects.

    I tried different battery modes(not a laptop, though...).

    I tried a new theme.

    I tried adjusting color options.

    What am I missing?

    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
