  1. Windows 10 update switched boot drives


    I had my Dell Optiplex 3020 set up to boot from SSD with HDU as a secondary and bootable drive. Yesterday things were running fine; I left to run some errands, and when I got back, the system was running from the HDU it took me a while to figure that out. Windows now cannot identify the SSD; it knows it's there but says it needs to be initialized. While I was running errands, Microsoft installed these updates: KB5005463, KB4023057, KB809830, and KB5013887. Varying amounts of work 1-3 months are missing from the HDU, depending on whether I had copied it from the SSD. Would uninstall

    Windows 10 boot drive

    Is Windows 10 also limited to a max of 3Tb for a boot drive?

    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
