View 4 RepliesI have a small problem with languages in windows 10 (originally the same problem was in win8, but I didn't solve it there as well).
I bought the laptop with german windows. But whole my life I worked with english UI interface. I know what and where I should search any setup features and how they call in english version. And of course with german laptop I got a german keyboard, that a little bit different from the english one (and that is the cause of my problem, because only letters Y and Z are changed).
After the win10 installation I downloaded and installed language pack as recommended and make one as primary language. Beside it i have german language (because it match with keyboard layout) and russian language (as native). BUT, I don't need to have an english language in language bar at all, because I have the same german with correct keyboard layout. I would like to switch between only two layouts: DE and RU.
Question: how to get rid the english keyboard from language bar, leaving the english UI at the same time?
Since upgrading to Windows 10 last night, app notifications are disabled and the checkbox is greyed out. The top of the screen says, "Some settings are managed by your organization." There is no organization. This is my home PC, I have placed no restrictions on it, nor have I ever touched local group policies.

View 1 Repliesi recently updated to windows 10. I'm having some difficulties regarding internet through Ethernet on It. what usually happens is i am able to surf the Ethernet for around 10 minutes, then the ethernet adapter just quits on me. So i run the network trouble shooter and find you that it needs to reset the DNS, which it does successfully. After that my Ethernet doesn't work anymore till I restart the Laptop. my computer's wifi card is an intel wireless n 7260, and the other network adapter is a pcie gbe family controller.
View 2 RepliesI just got a Win 10 computer, and I am in the process of starting to prep it for moving all my old files over from my XP computer (using PCmover).
One of the things PCmover told me to do was go into Win 10's Task Scheduler and disable the tasks under the Active Tasks tab, which I did.
But now I can't find those disabled tasks to enable them after I complete the PC-to-PC file move. They've disappeared completely.
I disabled UAC and when I try to open Edge, Calculator, etc I get a window message that says that I cant open it with UAC disabled, I find it something very annoying that makes me think about going back to Windows 7, is there any around this?
In Windows 7 for example, I was able to open the calculator with UAC disabled.
I have disabled Cortana but it still runs in the background.
And can it be disabled completely ?
I have a Lenovo x1 carbon laptop and i have updated OS from win 8 to win 10. When I'm working for long time with laptop, my keyboard get disabled for all application instead of browser. There is no error. I have to restart laptop to fix it.
View 2 RepliesThe Seach function is often disabled randomly, especially when I shut down the system and turn it on again later. It also happens when the system wakes up from Hibernation.
View 2 RepliesI was on my Window 10 Administration account (Called Tavernier). Then Windows wanted me to link a email so security. I do so. I set my own password. But I realise that it asked me at each starts of the computer. Since I'm the only user I want my computer to start directly on the desktop. So I remove the password.
I wanted to install something for my work, it pops me the normal "Use the Admin rights to execute this" clic yes or no. But this time it asked me a password. So I try my last password and an empty one, the Yes bouton was always gray. So I couldn't install anything on my own computer.
So I decide to open the Super Administration account with the user net Administrator /active: yes
So I go in user options and I realise that my normal account (Tavernier) is not here any more. Gratter. So I want to add one, impossible. Even in command line. Then I unactivate the Super Administrator account, restart computer.
And the result is : "Your account has been disabled. Contact the adminstrator of this computer".
I can't launch the computer in safe mode to open again this Super Admin account. So I feel like I can't use my own computer. I have so really important things to do with my computer.
Why Show app notification is disable ? And how means some settings are managed by your organization ?

How enable this option ?
I upgraded my Win 7 Professional over 1 month ago to Win 10.
A few minor problems but suddenly yesterday the wifi went off and will not locate the router or turn back on in settings.
I have read that it is because of a conflict with VPN. I removed the VPN and reset Win 10 (losing several valuable programs in the process !!) and have also cleaned the registry but there has been no change !!!
I resorted to try to reset my new Win 10 install. But, as soon as I select "Reset this PC" a screen shows up says: "Choose your Keyboard Layout" and the very first choice of course is "US", but my mouse is disabled suddenly and I try to navigate with the keyboard, which I've had some experience, but it seems all the keys are disabled also. So, I can't get past one of the very first screens to even reset Windows 10.
View 1 RepliesI know its a rule of thumb to leave it disabled if running an SSD, but I'm confused since I have both an SSD [ C: ] ( which serves as my boot drive ) and an HDD [ D: ] where I store the rest of my files.
Since there is no option to disable it only for one drive ( Which if there was i would disable it only for the SSD ) Should I just disable it altogether? or would that be a bad idea. Or is there any way I can disable it only for the SSD [ C: ]
Had to try a few different methods to get the start menu not working problem to go away. Finally I had to go back to a restore point from just after the upgrade from Windows 7 to get the start menu to work again.
Now I try to turn back on the folders in Personalization > Start > Choose which folders appear on Start and the only one that is able to be toggled off and on is the Settings one. I want to turn most of them back on, but they are all locked to off.
I hope you can see what I mean if my words do not make sense in the attached screen capture.
I am trying to open the app "Task manager", but windows keeps telling me that my "administrator" wont allow me to.
Here is the exact message that Windows tells me : "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator" ....
I have a Sony Optiarc DVD drive. When I first upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 it was working but later it is not. It shows in the Bios but not in Windows. I even bought a new Lite-on DVD drive and put it in and still not recognized by Windows 10.
View 9 RepliesWindows Defender is shown both running AND disabled. I have no third-party security or firewall.
I am unable to select this service here (msconfig)-(but rightly set as 'Automatic' in services.msc) nor am I able to set Normal Startup: on applying, all changes are cancelled.
I must have removed some needed startup program or app...?
HOWEVER, Windows Defender DOES start on boot and all is swell. No log errors except for Cortana, which is broke and shows a registry error, but that is another question, I think. In case it is not, here's the log:
Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: Invalid value for registry See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
I find that when i try to open Cortana i get a message stating that Cortana is disabled by company policy and there is no icon for me to click on. I fail to see how a home computer can be classed as a company.

View 1 RepliesAre these built in to Windows 10? Can they be removed and/or disabled? Does Windows 10 have "stealth" or force updating? And (I have trouble interpreting EULA agreements) does any part of Windows 10 do data collection? (I strongly oppose ANY data mining)

View 4 RepliesUpon upgrading to W10 my laptops wireless was given an update from windows update which added new drivers for the wireless card.
Since this update my on-board WI-Fi is no longer functioning. The adapter is there, but it says there are no networks available. If i go to the wireless setting and attempt to click Wi-Fi to on it just flickers back and remains off.
The wireless adapter is now showing as "intel centrino wireless-N 1030" and it shows several other bluetooth devices which were not present before the update. The driver update seems to have introduced some new bluetooth functionality but the result is that it has disabled my Wi-Fi.
