    So as the title suggests Win 10 isn't letting me make a bat file.

    So I make a test file called start.txt I rename it to start.bat and on the right hand side of the file it still says its a text document I think to myself that its odd and input my code into the file just for safety's sake I click save as and enter start.bat into the name field my pc then prompts me with a alert asking me if I want to replace start.bat.txt with start.bat I click yes and go to run the file and it just opens as a text file. Please help me find a way to fix this this isn't user error I have tried everything and still nothing I've set it to all files but it still turns it into a .txt by adding .txt to the end I can't seem to do anthing about it. Please help!

    :)

  2. Help with a .bat file.

    I have this .bat file that I've been messing around with:


    Windows 10 not letting me make bat file need help [​IMG]


    I got it to open the Windows Update interface:

    However, I need the .bat file to go a step further and auto click the Check for updates button circled in orange.

    Can someone help me to finish editing the .bat file so that when I click the .bat file, the process of manually checking for Windows Updates becomes fully automated?

    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
