    Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article.


    Often in windows, I see a link which appears to be offering me more information. This is an example:


    Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article. 14811b78-75ee-4e4c-86f0-8157d8a2bd9a?upload=true.jpg


    When I click the link, I'm expecting it to take me to specific help regarding the problem I'm having. What invariably happens is that it takes me to the Windows 10 help home page.


    In the example above the link goes to this url


    Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article. 4960f29e-8309-4445-a2d9-2d3678e378d4?upload=true.jpg


    and that immediately redirect to the help main page.


    Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article. a49e89a7-0850-4fa7-a71d-4462d77215a1?upload=true.jpg


    It's a waste of time having those links if that's all they do. Searching Google is more effective than searching Microsoft Help.


    Are these links supposed to direct to that main page or is there some problem?

    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

    Help, cant create windows image

    Hello there, @fullinfusion!

    It seems like some sort of an OS confusion has happened with your secondary WD Black and I'm sorry to hear about that. *Frown Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article. :(
    Maybe re-formatting it would help indeed as the community already mentioned. I'd suggest to take a look at this step-by-step how to partition and format an HDD: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=PYCoid
    Keep in mind that this will wipe clean the drive, so you should backup all important data from the drive somewhere else.
    I noticed from the screenshots that your HDD appears as Disk 0, this means that it's plugged in the primary SATA port where the SSD (as an OS drive) should be. Actually it is possible that because of this Windows cannot create the image there. Swap the ports of the SSD and the HDD, this might help as well.

    Keep me posted. Hope this helped! *Smile Windows help links go to Windows Help home page instead of to a specific article. :)
