    Windows 10 update wont let me open an app


    i just did an update for my device after restarting it, i restarted it because i changed my VRAM from 128mb to 512mb, i wanted to run an app better. after restarting my laptop i tried to open the app and it wouldnt open. i pressed it and it a blue bar showed up next to the cursor for maybe a millisecond and after that nothing else. this is affecting 2 apps: Steam and Dead by Daylight the game i was trying to open

    does anyone have a fix for this? thanks

    :)

  2. Windows Wont Let Me Update Driver

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes, I am using a free version of driver easy. Your instructions helped.

    Previously, I was just providing the location and clicking next here:

    As you suggested, I clicked on "let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" and "Have disk" and that helped.

    I did get a nice warning but I ignored it and clicked next.

    Audio seems okay, except "Realtek Audio Console" app doesn't work on my windows 10 anymore. I will probably uninstall this driver. But thanks heaps for your help.

    Cheers

    Windows 10 update wont let me open an app

    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
