Have Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586.17 installed but want to make the windows borders bit wider as I do not like the ultra narrow ones.
I have changed borderwidth setting in registry and have also done so with the paddedborderwidth setting but regardless of what I do to that setting, after reboot the border stays the same.
I am not liking the very thin black window borders, when I open a lot of windows it can be hard to tell where one ends and another begins.Is there any way that you can increase the thickness of the window outline?

View 2 RepliesI have a new HP Envy 17t with Windows 10 64 bit. I have been installing various bits of software that I need to have. However, with some applications I get a strange error pop up, first a window telling me that the application is from an unknown source then, when I click OK, to continue, another window pops up, this one:
This has happened twice in the last 24 hours. Once when I tried to install a windows application so that I can root my Lenovo android tablet and then again when I wanted to install a media converter app.
I have the latest versions of both applications, I made sure they both were made for Windows 10 64 bit, but Windows 10 won't install them.
When I initially installed Win10, it logged in with lightning speed (from the lock screen). After the update last weekend it takes longer to log in than it did with Win 7. or 8. How to speed up login time?
I'm running Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.3), 64 bit
So we now have got a new stable channel for Firefox thats v41.0.
I wanted to know what all tweaks could be done to this version Firefox to achieve best performance in Firefox.
I ask this because many of the old tweaks and parameters are deprecated in the newer version.
I've really had it with Windows 10 now. The latest upgrade made my computer slow to a crawl, and disabled my ability to change the features on my Logitech mouse. The mouse now moves 1:1, so that I must move it 18" to get from one side of the screen to the other. The Logitech website claims the mouse is for Windows 7, not 10, so I must buy a new mouse? It worked fine before this last upgrade.
I would really like to go back to Windows 7, but my restore disks don't seem to work. Perhaps buying Windows 7 disks has become worth it.
Microsoft has shown their incompetence with their latest upgrade. We used to run a program to optimize compiled code to make it faster. That concept must be unknown to Microsoft.

View 6 RepliesI am running windows 10 and have the latest version of iTunes on my PC. Whenever i connect my iPhone 6 and sync however, the syncing process reaches step 3 (Preparing to copy items), a small window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working" and under this it says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
View 1 RepliesI'm having with Windows 10.
I recently did a reinstallation and since doing so, I'm unable to rectify 2 issues I'm having.
The first is my system tray icons and sub menus for task bar icons having a 1px border like the following screenshot:-
The second, if I right click my taskbar icons, I want to make the colour match the rest of the colour scheme, not be black, like the following screenshot:-
How can I hide that tiny color borders: [URL]
Also I would like to remove the shadow it has.
I found in seven forum a solution about this

How can I reduce the taskbar button icon width?
I have read everywhere on how to change the start menu width, however what I am asking for does not seem to be covered anywhere. When I open the "All Apps" section of the start menu to get to my installed programs I am unable to distinguish between some of them due to their width. (See attached screenshot)
What I want is to extend the width of the list of apps, NOT the width of the live tiles area. Seems everywhere covers how to change the width of the start menu but it only affects the live tiles area, not the app list.
I have searched through the registry and can't find anything there. Maybe I missed something?
Much as I like the new windows 10, I find if I have a few windows open and overlapped then it's far to easy to close the wrong window. And the reason is that the whole washed out white and no window borders mean one window looks like it's another window when overlapped.
What would be great is if I could get a blue (or whatever) border back on the window so that it'a much easier to see which window is which. Is it possible without any third party stuff?
I'm loving Win10 so far! Real improvement on Win7 (and most certainly on Win8, which I hated so much I went back!)
One thing I have noticed, that I can't seem to change... is how you set it so that icons in the start bar, go full sized once you open them? I liked that feature in Win7, as it was quicker to view what was open (without having to "read" the icons to work out what was what)
(I've attached a pic of what I mean)
I installed an update today which says in Microsoft's notes about it that it patches Edge among other things. Yet, the version displayed in Settings in Edge is the same as it was before this install. Is it supposed to stay the same?
View 3 RepliesI updated a W10 OS and I'm seeing something i've never seen before. The Notification Area shows left and right arrows to scroll, and a large blank area in the right corner. This is a W10 Insider Preview fast ring OS, updated to the latest offered. It's a bare metal install, not a VM, version info is in the screen print.
Has seen these arrows with the latest Fast Ring OS ? I like to see all icons in the Notification Area, all the time. I've checked my settings, and i think they are right for me, and have always worked before this "fast ring version update".
Screen print 1 shows what i see with the latest W10 Fast Ring version.
Screen print 2 shows what i see with the latest W10 RTM version,
This is what i like and has always worked for me in W7, W8.x, and W10 - until my latest fast ring update.
I have Window 10 Preview installed on two PCs, my SP3 and my desktop box (an Alienware system). I have two Microsoft accounts (home and work), and both accounts have logins on both PCs. With one login, my work account on my desktop PC, the start menu column width is 6, meaning I can have 6 small icons per row (or 3 medium icons, or 1 medium and 1 wide). The other three logins all have a start menu column width of 8 (or 4 medium icons, or 2 wide). I greatly prefer the 8.
I find it extra odd that if I log in to my SP3 with my work account I have a start menu with a width of 8 but if I log on to my desktop with that same account I have a width of 6. This is even with all of the sync settings turned on (doesn't seem like they are syncing all the much stuff yet). Maybe there's a registry setting for it somewhere, and the desktop account was created after the point when the default changed from 8 to 6.
I notice there's a new 1 pixel white border around Universal apps like Mail and OneNote. This makes it easier to see the edge of the window when it overlaps similarly colored areas. This seems to be new since the update yesterday.
View 1 RepliesHorizontal task bar works just fine but vertical task bar on left side (same problem on right side) is very wide with a small column of task icons in the center. Basically unusable when a vertical task bar is configured. I've tried with and without Classic Start Menu and it does the same thing.

So far only two issues found on 10130:
Orange active window border: I have this horrible orange colour around the active window. I have changed all the colour settings but both seems to change the active window border.. how to get rid of it. It is really obvious on Firefox for instance with a thicker part at the top tabs section and thinner elsewhere.
TaskBar locking: Occasionally the taskbar will lock and not autohide - even though there are no alerts. Need to sleep/retart to get the autohide to work again...
I have my desktop picture set to change every hour or so but despite trying various settings it only seems to change every month or two!
I have two monitors driven by a Nvidia Quadro 600. Neither display is changing.
Also, when I first setup the two monitors, the screens aver would alternate the images on the two monitors. i.e. Pjicture A on right then B on left with A still on right, then C on left with B still on right, and so on. Now A appears on right with left blank, then B on left with right blank. Not sure why it changed.
Not a vitally required fix but it would be nice if it behaved as it should!
I just upgrade windows 10 from windows 7 and I'm customizing some default folder to match my settings in my windows 7. I got a little problem and it's really annoying me. Here is the screenshot of my This PC
as you can see, I change the windows default folder for downloads to drive F:. How can I make it to show the drive name instead of drive letter? I used the same steps I do in windows 7 and it was working, but in windows 10, it change the download folder to drive letter.
So I want to make a new font to use on my computer instead of Arial but I can't figure out how to change the default font.
