  1. Windows explorer on my pc is so broken right now


    Windows explorer has been acting up a lot lately in many ways, and it's getting to the point where I can barely navigate anymore. The windows start menu search is randomly not showing some files, and I keep having to edit which folders are excluded from indexing, since every few days it seems to reset itself. Copy/paste will randomly decide to stop working in fact, it's doing that right now. And most annoying of all, almost every time I open a folder, I get that horrid eternal green loading bar that never reaches the end, while all the files are either missing thumbnails or not showing up at

    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

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
