Windows 10: Windows 10 Reverts settings

Does anyone know what policies I might have to set to keep certain windows settings?


I recently upgraded my network were a school and already have lots of Policies

1. Staff keep loosing the start Menu program list. Weirdly enough, I went to place software on their desktop as a temporary fix and all of the sudden all the software started populating on their start menu.
2. Microsoft Outlook keeps loosing staff shared mailboxes and Calendars. If I go into settings and manually add them, all of a sudden they populate. now getting 2 copies of each rather than one. Its as if my interaction kicks it into gear.
3. Google chrome Bookmarks keep disappearing.
4. Keyboard Settings keep reverting back to US English rather than UK even though set correctly on Group Policy.

All these seem to happen after a period of time, or reboot, log off and on again. It sounds like Group Policy updates and resets it all but the settings are correct. and if I do a manual GP Update, it doesn't revert the settings.


Any ideas please, Staff are getting really restless and aggravated with these issues.


I also need Sticky notes back.


Thanks Keith Desoisa

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

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

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
