Windows 10: Windows 10 version 1809

W10 version 1809 - annoying losses!



On 24th December routine Updates introduced Windows 10 version 1809 on my PC. Eight subsequent updates have taken place this month.

The first annoying “losses” on the 24th December Update were:

a) The need to reinstall my email usernames in Outlook Office 365

b) The loss of folders holding “saved” messages

c) The loss of my “Favourites” in Microsoft Edge

A later update this month caused these again (after I spent time typing in my Edge “Favourites”!

I certainly hope the next Update won’t necessitate retyping data!

Now I need your help to rectify this matter.

As usual, when I press the “Start” button (in the lower left corner of the screen), the usual long list of alphabetical names appears - some having a tile on the right. (One item, “Mail” also appears on the Task-bar!)

However, when I click on either the displayed list or the tile on most of the names (e.g. Mail, Calendar, MS Store,) nothing happens. So please tell me what I should do to rectify the problem; is it an App issue?

(Fortunately, I’m not a Games player, so loss of Xbox or March of the Empires is not a bother!)

Thank you.

:)

 

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

WMP for version 1809...


My Windows 10 N, version 1803 had used Windows Media Player via installing it from the "Windows_MediaFeaturePack_x64_1803.msu" file.

Updating to 1809 removed the WMP and no longer available in the apps list:





There's an updated version listed at:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ows-n-editions

But clicking on the link and looking for the 1809 in the drop down list of versions does not show the media feature pack available for download for 1809; instead it shows version 1709 and 1803.

Does anyone have a direct link to WMP for Windows 10 N, version 1809?

TIA...
