How To Enable Dragging Of Maximized Windows
Sep 29, 2015
In windows 7, I could drag maximized windows between monitors without having to resize them. How do I enable this with Windows 10? I do not use Windows snap, nor do I want to what-so-ever. Disabling it was the very first thing I had to do before I lost my mind. How frustrating it was.
Also, is there a way to change the color of the drag area on windows/folders? For example the area where I'd click to drag a firefox window is the same color as everything else. In windows 7, it was blue, while the file/edit and tab areas were grey. And finally, is there a way to enable the re-arranging of items on my taskbar, if they are the same program?For example if I have 3 firefox windows open (not in tabs), and I want to put them in a certain order on my task bar, is this possible?

Screenshot here.
Just installed Windows 10 on a new SSD, and all maximized window borders don't reach where they're supposed to.
As you can see, the top border makes contact but the left, right, and bottom borders do not. Every window I've tried has done this except for, for some reason, Steam. Even the standard Explorer windows do this.
Another annoying issue: In Windows 7 and 8, you could click and drag the top of a maximized window, and it would automatically shrink and allow you to move it around. In Windows 10, the only way I can move a maximized window is if I restore down it first, then move it and re-maximize it. It was because I had Aero Snap disabled.

1st Q: When using Win 10, Microsoft Edge, I like to take an open tab and drag it to my second monitor. Works great in Internet Explorer but I can't get it to work on Edge.
2d Q: I have a drag a Favorite to be in my Favorites Bar but visible across the top? Right now, I have to scroll to the end of the list to get what I want to open. Works great in I.E. where I just drag the Fav right across the top so it's visible.

As you can see I have the Auto Arrange Icons turned off
But when I try to drag an icon somewhere it refuses displaying a circle with a line through it
I can Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V it to a folder somewhere else but that is not what I want to do
I have tried using 'Fences' (but it will not let me drag the items into the fences either (have deleted 'Fences' just in case it was causing the problem - it was not the cause of the problem)
I don't have a lot of icons on my screen, but do like to arrange them

Is there a way to get WMP to open maximized when I double click a video file, instead of opening just the size of the video? Is this a setting within WMP, like play maximized, or is it a separate command?

On my Surface 3 I've been getting really stunning lock screen photos as part of Windows Spotlight. Much nicer than anything from the Bing photos. I wanted to add that to my desktop but I don't seem to get that choice there in lockscreen settings.Is there a trick to enabling this or it is a Surface 3 feature?

Microsoft now allows Windows Defender to detect PUAs
Microsoft has recently added a new adware protection system for enterprises, allowing them to detect and block Potentially Unwanted Applications (also known as PUAs) on their computers.
But according to Microsoft own announcement, this feature was only available for enterprises, so consumers running Windows 10 Home or Pro, for example, aren't getting it.
And yet, there's a very simple way to enable this feature on any computer with Windows Defender, and as gHacks notes, it all comes down to just a few registry tweaks.
Before anything, make sure you create a backup or a system restore point, just in case something goes wrong and you need to recover your Windows install.

I love Windows 10 but this may be the most annoying feature so far for me and I have no clue how to turn it off. I've searched online and all results concern windows 8/7/vista... and not only were there no real solutions but there is nothing about Windows 10. Never encountered this in Win7 (and never used Win8).
the problem here is I can't see where I'm dropping the files, I use the list view and manage a lot of files this damn icon hides the folders!

Is it possible to enable Hybrid Sleep in Windows 10? This is what WIkipedia says in the article about Sleep mode:
Sleep mode and hibernation can be combined: the contents of RAM are first copied to non-volatile storage like for regular hibernation, but then, instead of powering down, the computer enters sleep mode. This approach combines the benefits of sleep mode and hibernation: The machine can resume instantaneously, but it can also be powered down completely (e.g. due to loss of power) without loss of data, because it is already effectively in a state of hibernation. This mode is called "hybrid sleep" in Microsoft Windows other than Windows XP.
It's not the same as Fast Startup, because this is basically a stripped-down variant of hibernation as described in the original post. I can't find the option to enable Hybrid Sleep anywhere.

I upgraded my friends HP laptop to Windows 10. The issue now is I can't enable Wifi. The card is recognized correctly in Device manager and no issues is found with it. It looks like it is fine. However in the Network Settings WLAN is set to "Off" and when I try to turn it on it always jumps right back to off. eg. I can't enable it.
HP clearly state any laptop bought prior to specific date in 2013 will not get any driver updates from their side for windows 10. And updating through device manager only tells me it's the newest driver available.
The Wifi card i Broadcom 4313GN card. I searched for win 10 drivers but did not find anything.They only offer linux drivers on their homepage...
So any solution to the issue or link to a win 1' driver for this wifi card?

I have disable system protection on my primary (C:) which is an SSD.
When trying to enable system protection on my 1TB HDD (E:), the option is simply greyed out.
I had hoped to save writes on my SSD to increase it's lifespan, and it appears to be recommended in various SSD optimisation guides. Is it at all possible to enable system restore points to be saved on other hard drives?

Everybody wants disable - but what to do when I want to ENABLE ?
From the very first time after fresh update from Windows 8 to 10 - there was a problem to have Lock Screen.
I like the simple information on it and quick display off after a while not used...
Then, after any option possible used to enable it, it somehow appeared after windows update. I was lucky to have it back. Self customized to black background without any disturbing images and icons - only pure time and date.
And, then, after last whole build update from 10240 to 10586 - again NO MORE LOCK SCREEN .....
Tested again any possible option (system option, gpedit option, registry change) - nothing works like after first upgrade from 8 to 10...
If I try to set the notebook (Lenovo Yoga 15) to Lock, it appears blank black (my custom solid color) background for around 2 seconds, and then it goes directly to login dialog (personal image with login button).

While looking things over on Speccy, I noticed that hyperthreading is not enabled on my system. Should I enable it, and what would be the benefits. Also, if I do enable, how would I go about it. I will try to post a screen shot from Speccy to show what I have.

Is there an easy way to disable and re-enable groups of services / processes in Windows 10 so that the computer can be switched between optimization 'profiles' for, say, routine office work, audio/video editing, and gaming?
I have two computers now - one for routine office work (e.g., Office suite, Quickbooks) and a dedicated audio/video editing workstation. The latter is very powerful and I'd like to use it for both jobs, but not if all those background processes (59 total), like Cortana, OneDrive, iCloud mean sacrificing resources for critical A/V work. Neither do I have the time or patience to manually disable scores of Startup apps and services each time I throw my A/V hat on.
