Win 10 installation went smoothly and yes it runs faster than Win 7 Ultimate..BUT.......I do not like the Start Page with its apps and stuff I don't need.
What I do need is a start menu with all my programs so I can get back to work.
Can I change this to what I had in Win 7?
I am using window 10 on my venue pro 8. when i try to pin a web page to my start screen nothing happens. How to do it.
View 2 RepliesSo some one keeps frogetting to clock in when he gets back to his desk from lunch.(me)
Start up at boot isn't going to work, because I just lock my computer and dont shut down.
As I now have icons only on the start page and nothing on my desktop, how can I skip opening on desktop and open directly on the start page?
View 5 RepliesI click 'Pin to Start' and nothing happens and some of the app icons are missing
View 6 RepliesAfter signing in on W10 sign in page, start up screen comes up but just keeps flashing, no icons on bottom task bar, curser has revolving blue circle, left click and right click has no effect. The only thing I can do is "control/alt/del to bring up the task manager. Tried rebooting numerous times to no avail. Tried disconnecting modem and computer and restarting, no luck. Appears that W10 is installed but seems to be hung up on start page. Unable to access anything. If I press the F1 key sometimes icons appear momentarily on the task bar but then they disappear and cannot bring them back up.
View 1 RepliesFollowing search results, I have tried the "scannow" and 'reinstall all Windows apps' suggestions. Scannow found no errors, and reinstalling Windows apps did nothing to work. When I click on the Start button (that usually brings up the Programs Menu, I get the little twirling blue icon for about 5 or 6 seconds, then... nothing. Cortana is dead, or away on vacation.
BTW, all my Taskbar program icons work, all the system tray icons (except 'Notifications') work, and a right click on the Start button brings up the usual context menu. Also, I tried installing Start10, but that didn't work either.
Can I use classic icons on the start page instead of tiles? I do not like the tiles.

View 1 RepliesWhy does download put tiles for apps on Start page that I never had?????
View 1 RepliesThe tiles I've put on the start page for various apps (all resized to small) and arranged in groups are rearranging themselves randomly and resizing to medium each time I reboot. I can't find any reason for this. Also, is it possible to start more than one app at a time using the tiles? I've tried searching here and using Google but nothing at all comes up.. It's a clean install after upgrading.
View 1 RepliesI have a desktop computer, it was working fine almost a year and now from a few days I am having a serious issue and that is when using my computer (generally or during gaming) it displays an error i.e PAGE_FAULT_FOUND_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. The screen turns pink and the edges are green (that's probably because of the resolution as I use 3840x2160 so the error kinds of destorts) but that's not the real issue, the main problem is the error itself.
My Computer specifications :
Intel i7 4790
Asus Maximus VII Formula ROG
Kingston 8GBx2 DD3 Ram (Simple ones, not the gaming ones)
1TBx2 Seagate HDD
Asus GeForce Titan X
Corsair CX850M.
Why can't i put my password in the password box on windows 10 start page. Cursor won't click on box and typing my password just doesn't appear?
View 1 RepliesI can't get to any websites. I can get online but that is as for as I can go. It is very frustrating. I have to use my tablet to get to the web sites that I use regularly.
View 4 RepliesI thought I would check with W10 forum on a issue that started yesterday Monday. I have had much success in resolving various glitches since installing W10 from W8.1 on this site. Suddenly, irrespective of which web site ie: msn, local news feed page, yahoo etc, that I go to I am getting on the bottom left an indication that "web is not responding" and on the right hand bottom "Recover page". I am not certain if this a W10 glitch or something else that causing my inability to access various web pages. I have another lap top that I upgraded to W10 from W7 that is functioning properly.
View 4 RepliesI guess I'm getting old but somehow i've missed how to print or capture a page. I can find nothing that tells me about printing. I have the win 10 download from yesterday.
View 6 RepliesI am wondering about performance. All seems to be working. Last December I built a new i7-4790k with 512GB SSD and 16 GB memory. I am using Windows 10 Pro...64 bit and all seems fast. My video card is an EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW. This should be overkill as I do not play games.
So my problem is that on the web, I seem to get a page at a time, instead of a smooth scroll. I use Firefox, but now I see it is NOT a web issue. I see this in multi page Office 2013 documents and even Quicken. Is there some setting that I am missing that will load all it can and provide smooth scrolling instead of a page at a time brief delay?
Win 10 and my drivers are up to date.
Firefox has an extension that allows a translation of a web page. Does Edge have a way to do this?
View 1 RepliesSince yesterday's Windows 10 download I notice that my laptop screen has a life of its own, at times, with the cursor in erratic motion or stationary. The page zooms in larger, magically and unexpectedly, the scroll bar has a life of its own: the page moves up or down. In the earlier used Windows 8.1 version I had access to a page that allows me to delete programs. In this newer version it seems much harder to get rid of the ones that are a nuisance to me.
View 4 RepliesI have been getting this message a bunch lately and it seems to be getting worse. I have been to Microsoft support twice and no solution resulted.
View 3 RepliesI just install windows 10, first issue was the page "any page" (internet ,emails, any list of folders) it wont stay where you want it ..it keeps scrolling right back up to top of the page...
View 1 RepliesOut of the blue I have suddenly started getting serious low memory problems with warnings and the screen going black soon after startup. My Page file is stuck at zero (which I guess is the cause?) and I cannot change it in the configuration menu. I have tried automatic set, and custom set which appears to have worked except total Page memory stays at zero and is still zero after restarts.
It has been difficult to launch or stay online to search for advice as everything goes blank before I achieve anything. I have the minimum number of programs running.
Normally when i use the net all is fine. Noticed today when i run a video convertor programme in the background the loading of web pages is extremely slow. Stop Freemake video convertor and page loading is normal speed. I assumed it was memory, did memtest and no errors found. CPU monitor sits on 100%. Had similar problem with Villisoft last week. Time for a new CPU methinks but having said that would 100% cpu usage slow down webpage loading to that degree.
View 5 RepliesI have suddenly started getting serious memory loss problems, with the Tablet PC showing warnings and closing down before I can achieve anything. The Page file is shown stuck at zero. I have not been able to change it in the configuration menu. I enter automatic or customised min / max but after a restart the Page file is still '0'.
How do I get the configuration tool working again?
I have problems when the TEXT PAGE is WHITE. The brightness of the screen hurts my eye. (I am blind in one eye)
Is there anyway to change the colour of the TEXT PAGE to a moderate BLUE or GREY?
Windows 10 went wrong Again! First I lost all my favorites, then my Computer experienced exceptions (what ever they are?) followed by random Crashes.
So I did a clean install using my ISO disc and tried to Install Page Plus X4 which was working fine before but it won't work now, even though I installed the latest patch.
I get told its an incompatible Programme, even though it worked OK before I did a clean install, with a note that says that Microsoft are looking for a Solution (you could have fooled me!) also I did the bit about using the Settings that worked on a Previous Programme but that didn't fix it either.
Also uninstalled and re installed the Programme but that didn't work either as did installing net framework.
Also when I get new emails, I am no longer getting advised of any new emails, so I have to keep checking my email box myself.
I looks like I may have to do yet another Clean Install.
I've tried turning off the Automatic Updates but that doesn't seem to work (maybe I'm doing it wrong, so how do I do that).
