    Windows 10 Saving personalized settings


    My Windows 10 is from a Microsoft Store purchased USB. Since installation on my desktop, two months ago, saving my personalized display settings is erratic.


    Most of the time, it is as if settings were not saved at shutdown/power off or they are removed at next startup. It looks like a 'reset' has taken place that removed all except 'default' information and settings..

    • Lost 'settings' include display colors and schemes, text size, icons added to task bar, icons/apps added to right side of panel that opens when Windows 'start' is clicked, shortcut features activated on my keyboard, desktop shortcut-icons that I added for separately installed programs like MS Office, Firefox, Win10 features and management programs e.g. Control Panel, This PC, User Folder for 'administrator'—that is me, theonly user—, Office Outlook, Fax and Scan, Note Pad, etc . . . . . Standard "Microsoft "Edge" & "Recycle Bin" desktop icons are never affected.

    • I have even had a 'restore point' wiped out by this phenomenon. It was my attempt to create protection against the next incident so as to be able to restore to state before an incident.

    • Possibly relative to this aggravating situation is an observation made on the screen for ...Settings>Accounts>Sync your settings... that states "...you are logged on with a temporary profile. Roaming options are currently unavailable . . ." However, in ...Settings>Accounts>Your Info... the entry correctly describes my status [ 'my username', Local Account, Administrator].

    • Other, probably relative, clues are, whenever this complete 'wipe out' of settings occurs, it takes about 12 minutes for the logon process to complete and I have also developed a suspicion that sometimes there may be a connection between this problem and a 'update' download.

    Any help to resolve this would be immensely appreciated.

    :)

    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
