I am using a laptop with only wifi and no Ethernet so I am using a usb docking station to get an Ethernet connection. I upgraded to windows 10 and downloaded the latest driver for the docking station (specified for windows 10) but I cant get my computer to connect. when I go to my network connections I only see the wireless adapter and the Bluetooth connections. In device manager the Ethernet adapter is installed and doesn't show any issues.
We drag the Local area connection and place it in the riht upper corner of the displayWe connect via Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.We then right click on the icon when we want to connect to the Internet - we ENABLE.When we want to disconect - We rightclick on the Icon and DISABLE
It has worked in all our windows up to Win 7 included.But now in Win 10 that we have upgaded to (free) it does not work.If we want to disable we only see the alternative ENABLE.WE ALSO INTEND TO INSTALL WIN 19 ON OUR SECOND COMPUTER. I THINK I SKALL THIS TIME MAKE A CLEAN INSTALL.IS IT OK TO START WITH THAT AS SOON AS I GET THE WHITE FLAG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DISPLAY.I HAVE PICKED UP AN ISO FILE AND LOADED IT DIRECT TO AN USB-MEMORY.
I can't find the checkbox "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" for notification area anymore. I have too many icons in system tray but can't find a way to hide them.
I have problem with BSOD. When I'm using qTorrent and do sth else on my new laptop I get BSOD. Who Crashed is telling me that i need to update broadcom wireless driver. URL....
To better suit my monitor, I want to run my Windows 10 in 110% scaling mode, just like I did with Windows 7. When I adjust scaling to 110% everything does indeed look right (i.e. very similar to Windows 7).
However, there's an obvious issue with notification area icons: if there are more than one icon present in the notification area, one of the icons always "disappears". More precisely, the rightmost icon becomes invisible: Windows apparently simply thinks that it does not fit into the constraints of the notification area and decides not to draw it.
Here's some pictures of what happens in 110% scaling mode. This is the original configuration, when all icons are residing in the the pop-up "drawer" and only the Volume Control icon is present in the notification area. Everything looks fine
Now let's say I drag Skype icon from the popup drawer down into the notification area and drop it to the left of the Volume Control icon
As can be seen in the above picture, the Volume Control icon suddenly disappears. Technically it is there, but Windows fails to display it since it assumes (apparently) that the icon "does not fit" into the allotted space.
Now, If I return Skype back into the drawer everything will get back to normal - the Volume Control icon will reappear. If after that I, again, drag Skype icon from the popup drawer into the notification area, but this time drop it to the right of the Volume Control icon, the Skype icon will disappear.
So, the question I have is: is there any workaround for this problem? Is it somehow possible to manually increase the size (the width) of the notification area to make it display all icons?
Brought a new Lenova laptop for Christmas and I am finding things are quite different from my previous Win 7 software. I have been able to find my way around so far, but cannot figure this one out. I can open documents as usual, change name of new folder, but cannot type in the body of the document area. I have tried several times with no luck.
Immediately after upgrading my Insider's copy of Windows 10 to build 14271 I noticed a vertical white bar in the notification area. it has a little arrow pointing to the right. If I rest my pointer on the bar, no tooltip appears. If I click on the bar, it moves to the left and now the little arrow inside points to the left.
In Windows 7 there was a panel to customize which icons you want to show or hide in the Notification Area. Like this ...
Does this panel got deleted in Windows 10 ? If yes, is there a solution to hide/show icons from the notification area ? The options available in the Parameters menu don't let you hide an icon, it just put it under the arrow icon.
I recently formatted my laptop and performed a fresh install of Windows 10. Everything was going well, until I noticed that when I have more than 4 icons in the Notification Area, I get scroll arrows to scroll left or right, instead of the Notification Area just resizing to accommodate more icons. It also adds space to the right of the time, which is weird. This happens regardless of how many applications I have open, even having nothing at all open. I've tried using small taskbar buttons, and changing all the taskbar settings I can find, but it does exactly the same.
This is how many icons I usually have:
When it works with 4 icons (plus Notification Icon):
And when I try add more than 4 icons - notice the scroll arrows on the left and right, plus blank space:
I`m trying to update to Windows 10 build 14271, but I always get BSOD with "Page fault in nonpage area". And it doesn`t refere to any driver or anything. Only this message.
I have tried to remove the RAM and tested with only one and one, but gets the BSOD all the time. I have tried to disable the page file with same result. And now I have uninstalled a lot of programs including my Trend antivirus, but it still fails.
I am starting to think that I should reinstall Windows 10, but that would be the last outcome of this.
I've started to get BSOD like 2 times a week, and i have struggled a time now to view my minidump(Acces denied). But i downloaded BlueScreenWiew and now i can see it.
The Bluescreen is caused by the driver cpuz123_x64.sys, but the problem is that i have already uninstalled cpuz but the bluescreen is still occurring.

Since the latest Win 10 update (12/12/15) the notification area shows bluetooth as highlighted. How do I turn that off? My laptop does not have bluetooth facility! There is nothing in the settings area to accomplish this.
I use the notification area to change the brightness of my screen (Toshiba U920T laptop). It has always been 4 steps of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. How to change these steps? I couldn't find anything relevant in the registry.
Could not find "Notification Area Icons" in "All Control Panel Items" for Windows 10, but I could find it under Settings-System-Notifications. Is that normal for Windows 10? How can I add it in the "All Control Panel Items"?
Recently 'upgraded' to 10 from 7.System boots but then BSODs after a short period of time (a delayed service startup?).I suspect it is related to Intel Rapid Storage drivers or similar.
When I click on the start button, nothing happens.It highlights when I hover over it, but doesn't react to being clicked.The same is true for the notification area.I can right click on the start button and it provides the normal options.Again the same is true of the notification button.
I have the settings app pinned to the taskbar, but the icon is not visible.I know that it is still recognised as being there, as it highlights when I hover over it, and it holds its place like any visible icon would.Right clicking it does nothing.At first, the start menu was the only thing not responding. The notification panel was working, as I remember changing to 'tablet mode' to try to resolve it.I restarted the computer, but that was when I discovered that notification panel was no longer working. I don't know the state of the settings icon before I restarted.I have also restarted into safe mode, but the problem still occurs.I have not downloaded any new software since it started occurring.I have checked the task manager and there appears to be no change in performance.
As stated in title - no battery icon when not plugged in - and no battery/power icon when plugged in - also no locations icon. I do not care much about the locations one, but the battery one is pretty much vital.
Going into "Turn system icons on / off" - both Power & Location are greyed out - and can not be activated.
I have tried all the regular Windows 7 / 8 fixes - but no luck. I DO have a battery icon in the logon screen - but that is it. I have had this issue since I first downloaded the first preview builds.
This is my machine stats according to System info ....
