    I'm trying to install an update for my pc because apparently all the times I thought it was going through it wasn't and I'm way behind on updates. When I try to update, I get two lines on the settings page, which I screenshotted in the picture. The cumulative update preview shows pending install, which I've tried to fix by restarting/changing my group settings, but neither worked. The windows feature update is just permanently stuck at 0% as well. Is there a fix for this? Windows 10 Updates Pending 9be998cd-4384-4c34-958c-7cfa827beb89?upload=true.png

    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
