Windows 10 Tweaks

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.

• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

We suggest trying the following steps to check if the Cortana search bar changes the color.

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Personalization.
• Once inside the Personalization window, on the left pane, choose Colors.
• At the bottom of the Colors section, choose Dark as the app theme.

After this, restart the PC and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, reverse the steps given and then restart the PC again. If it fails again, please do let us know.
