One of my many gripes about the whole Metro side of Windows 8/8.1 is the limited ability to adjust the tiny font sizes in the start screen, tiles, app list or basic apps like Mail, People, Calendar, etc. Mail let you adjust font size within a message you were composing, but you were stuck with very small text in the folder, inbox and preview panes.
View 4 RepliesI use this PowerShell command to remove all modern metro apps from all user accounts:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
However, it does not remove some apps and I have to remove them manually using:
Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.6027.10071.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
So, is there a single command to remove all metro apps at once?
I don't have Metro (Modern) Apps (Fresh Install). How do i get it?
View 3 RepliesI can't adjust my brightness on my laptop with either the hotkeys (F11 + F12), or with the display menu in settings.
Yesterday it worked before i got to bed, then i shut it down and this morning i started it up and the brightness won't change anymore.
I can access the screen in control panel to change display resolution in Windows 10 but can't adjust the resolution. It just won't let me! My display is two inches to the left and icons appear stretched vertically.

View 9 RepliesI have Win 10 on for several months with almost no problems. Yesterday I had something (?) on the screen and looked away to the TV. When I looked at the screen it was rotated 90 degrees clockwise. My wife did fix that for me. but still have 2 problems. The (Window) on the far left of the task bar will only respond to a right click. Not a big deal but the speaker button on the right side of the task bar does not open the volume slider. Must left click on the speaker and go from there.

View 9 RepliesI have recently encountered weird problems with Windows 10, such as not being able to adjust the brightness (upon booting up, the brightness is either 0% or 100%), and sudden lag spikes that affect FPS by dropping it to 0 for 1-2 seconds, every 3 seconds. I have recently updated AMD Radeon drivers, and Windows 10 has also updated itself (which has always messed up everything) Also, now when the screen goes black (sleep mode), it always requires me to log in back to my Windows account, and it didn't do that before Windows updated itself.
The lag that I'm experiencing, is NOT connection-based lag, so my internet connection and everything works perfectly. It just the FPS that drops suddenly. It just freezes everything for a moment. It also doesn't require me playing a game or anything; just being on the desktop, having nothing open, will still make the lag spikes occur. My processor runs on the desktop around 8-24%, and when the lag spikes occur, it doesn't change at all. So nothing's draining the processor, I guess. Also the memory and all the others stay on the same level.I am using a HP Laptop that's not that efficient, but I have always been able to play games like Minecraft with decent settings on 60FPS.
How can I set the background color of my tool bar. I don't like the black one.

I think I got this problem after the windows update that came a few days ago. My laptop screen is brighter than my future right now and Im forced to use some third party screen filter software to avoid hurting my eyes..
I upgraded to windows 10 on 05/08/15. after completion of the upgrade the screen brightness increased tremendously. i am not able to reduce it. i tried mobility centre, device manager and all usual methods.

View 1 RepliesI know how to turn off/on the "USB selective suspend setting". I actually don't mind that it is enabled however what I find annoying is when my external 'wakes', a window pops up showing all of my files on the external as if I just plugged it in for the first time. Is it possible to stop this popup window?
In Windows 8 when I plugged something in for the first time, I got a popup asking what I wanted to do with it. I didn't get that option with W10 ...

View 6 RepliesMy computer currently has 3 monitors connected to it. 2 through the graphics card (R9 280), 1 through the integrated graphics (AMD HD 3000). Not sure when why or how, but the integrated graphics card can never pick up what type of monitor is connected to it... so it always gives me a bunch of generic 4:3 resolutions...
I've tried uninstalling the drivers and letting them reinstall. I've tried swapping around the cables to see if i could get lucky with one of the other screens, but they all face the same issues. I've tried buying brand new cables across the board because sometimes people say that's the issue. But not success.
The cloest thing i have is apparently a custom resolution setter, but it was created for windows 7 in mind and doesn't seem to work on windows 10 (PowerStrip).
My question is, is there anyway to format the list so i can select the correct resolution? It's a Toshiba TV/Monitor and it seems like every thing else attached to my pc (even 3rd party programs i tried to use to forcably change the resolution) can spot it and hand me back the correct resolution but i can't seem to change it. I get Genertic pnp through the control panel (the only place the monitor shows up in) and even then the correct driver doesn't show, it's the Microsoft Generic driver.
Mobo: MSI AMD 3000 series, cant find exact model.
I've updated my AMD drivers to the latest and so far can only modify the resolution to stock ones that look horrid on the screen. Any program in windows 10 to change the resolution of a screen.

I have probably 100+ Metro IE bookmarks in win 8.1, when upgrading to Win 10 these bookmarks get deleted, their is no mechanism to save them or import them to Edge or Desktop IE.
WTF is going on with this? Why is MS so content to just kick Win 8 users with no recourse to at least allow all their data to carry over?
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and installed my drivers and updates, but I noticed that my mouse click is not working on any metro interface (including Edge). It is working fine in games and other non-metro softwares. I am using Dragon War ELE-G7 mouse.

View 2 RepliesAll modern apps have their icons broken in one way or the other.
For example, taskbar icons, left to right: Store, Mail, Calendar, Maps, Alarms
Or when I search in start menu:
Store
Maps
Mail
The icons display properly in All apps and when pinned as tiles.
I went to go download Modern Combat 5 because I wanted to try it with ajoystick and the store has it delisted. No longer available?? Is it a windows 10 thing? Can download from Windows 8.1?
