  1. Windows 10 Pro in S mode - So Confusing


    Merry Christmas!

    I bought a Surface go 2 tablet. I am considering of upgrading to windows 10 Pro in S mode.

    What I do not understand is: what is the point of having a system with Windows 10 Pro if it is in 'S-Mode'? What I mean is if the 'S-Mode' Limits the apps I can install and access advanced configurations of my device, than what good would it do if upgrade to a Windows 10 Pro but still remain stuck in S-Mode?



    Any thoughts?



    Thanks,



    Stan

  2. New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM

    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 Pro in S mode - So Confusing

    Enable S mode in Windows 10  

    Ok - when time permits, I will have a crack but not at the moment.

    As a suggestion, perhaps a guide subsection in the tutorials section mihht be useful i.e. guides like this that are easy enough to follow but assume sone experience?

    I have written a couple of guides that people here have happily followed but they do not have every click e.g. I might say "use fix wondows boot problems"using Macrium Reflect, rather than showing every click, putting a reference to the MR Tutorial.

    I could video every step and create a video more easily I suppose.
