    Hi.

    I have quite strange issue:
    For example I have a file on my personal OneDrive. it is called "Jeep maintenance.xlsx".

    When I press windows key and type "Jeep" or "Jeep maintenance" I get nothing.

    However, by accident I learned that I get my file when I click 'Documents' tab...

    This is very strange, I suppose All is superior than Documents...

    The more strange behaviour is that its 50% chance i get this file. another 50% shows me another one:

    This is weird and drives me crazy. How do i get my file in 'ALL' and how to get stable results?

    Thank you.


    P.S. more on my setup - i have both personal and enterprise onedrives plus i have several document libraries from sharepoint synchronized. thanks

    :)

    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

  3. Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

    Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?

    IE11 - No Tabs, No Favorites Bar

    My Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 has gone very strange.

    • I have no Favorites Bar; I know how to toggle it on and off, but it will not come back
      • my Favorites are still there in the Favorites Menu bar tab (Menu Bar and Status Bar appears to be the
        only Bars I can turn on and off)
    • I have only one Tab, and can't see any others - even thought they are there somewhere - as the Taskbar Icon preview shows.

    Steps I have taken to fix this:

    • restored Advanced Settings via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • reset IE11 settings completely via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • removed IE11 completely via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot
    • reinstall IE11 via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot

    None of these steps made any difference.

    I don't know what else to try.

    Any ideas?
