Windows 10: Windows 11 Display Issue - Open windows/apps do not lock to available monitors when...

I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkBook with Windows 11 23H2 OS Build 22631.3672. When I connect it to my docking station with two external monitors, the open windows/apps can be slid between the two monitors, BUT also to the laptop monitor, even though the laptop lid is closed. The display shows only two monitors and "Extend these displays" option is selected, but I can still slide an open window off the screen. It moves over the closed-lid laptop. To access that window/app again, I need to open the laptop lid, find the window and move it back to one of the docking station monitors.Expected be

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

Default apps not available to display on Lock Screen...??


So I've been enjoying Windows 10 plenty for the most part, but I've run into my first potentially hair-tearing issue. I would like to add the Mail and Calendar apps to display more detailed information on my lock screen (simple enough, right?), however when I get to the Personalisation window to do this, I find that neither of those apps are available to add (and many others are absent as well)!!



Is anyone else experiencing this annoying problem? I'm using Windows 10 Pro, if that means anything.

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
