I'm asking is if there is a way to make the Windows 10 taskbar completely transparent so it eliminates the bar at the bottom of the screen. I've used 2 different programs to make it clear, but both also changes the Windows start place back to the windows 7 version. These 2 programs were Startisback plus plus and Classic Shell. I would not mind downloading another application as long as I have the option to keep the windows 10 start the same.
Is there a mod or something out there (or a registry edit maybe?) that will make the profile pictures for accounts square instead of circular, and use a transparent background? I have a custom image I'd like to use, but it gets rendered with a black background and parts get cut off by the circle.
My task bar does not work and it is like its a ghost and i can not right or left click on anything and my windows key does not work and i have tried many keyboards also. My brother has the same problem on his PC also just like me. I have did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and it still does not work so i may just go back to windows 8.1.
I cant get access to my desktop to right click or see icons on my desktop, instead I have a forced transparent overlay on. This was not like this before. What to search to even get my desktop back to its original state.
So, Windows 10. So far so good. There's just one small problem.
For starters, the background colour to these tooltips doesn't change when I change the colour in the Personalisation menu. But that's more of a secondary issue.
The primary problem is that weird transparent edge around the tooltip. When I first installed, I had something similar around the start menu. A restart fixed that problem. Now I experience these transparent edges around those tooltips and also at the edge of the notifications sidebar.
I never used a transparency workaround when I was running Windows 8.1, and that's about the only thing I can think of.
Weird issue.... the Store tile and all modern apps originally looked nice with monochrome icons on my taskbar, but after restarting now they are showing as ugly tiles on my taskbar (i.e like it did in 8.1). Is there some sort of setting for this to put it back to the transparent icon on my taskbar?
On the start menu each application / file has an associated icon. Unfortunately it appears that Windows 10 is using the accent color as the icon's background. So I get squares of color with the icon in the middle. There are screen shots from Windows 10 previews that show the icon backgrounds as transparent, or at least matching the background color of the start menu. But with transparency turned on, the icon backgrounds are not transparent, but instead the accent color.
It is as if Microsoft said "Hey - ALL icons should be SQUARE - so we will make all icons SQUARE just like tiles, whether you like it or not".
So - how does one make the start menu icon background color transparent?
It's been a while since I've upgraded to Windows 10 but the problem still exists. To leave this short, when I'm doing something like watching a movie, installing files, browsing the web, playing a game, etc. My computer just becomes completely unresponsive. I can't move my mouse, I can't use ctrl+alt+delete to get to Task Manager, when I check to see if my keyboard is still working, I try to turn caps lock off and on and that doesn't work. So whatever this issue is, it's just completely crashing my computer. This freezing causes me to hard restart my computer every single time.
I don't want to get back to Windows 7 so I've been dealing with it by keeping my PC close to me that way I can restart it when needed, but it's annoying when you're trying to do something and all of a sudden your computer just freezes.
I was wanting to do the same (remove the very annoying OneDrive) and while searching around the net I came across this. Note the very first post with the Batch file to remove the OneDrive from your Windows 10 install. I do not take credit for it,
Laptop, Dell Studio 1555, Previously running Win7 Ultimate and had no issues regarding random shutdowns.
Upgraded to Win10 Pro, then wiped drive and clean installed Win10 Pro. No issues during installation. No issues with device drivers. No other software installed.
Windows 10 randomly shuts down completely. no BSOD. turned off automatic restart, still no BSOD. Random shutdowns always occurs whenever i click on something (does not matter what). Random shutdown does not occur when system is idle.
Event viewer shows only Unexpected Shutdown.
Also have 4 consistent errors Event Error 7031 Service Control manager User data Access_Session1 service terminated unexpectedly User Data Storage_Session1 service terminated unexpectedly Contact Data_Session1 service terminated unexpectedly Sync Host_Session1 service terminated unexpectedly
After clicking shutdown, it goes through and Screen closes but power button remains lit. Won't shut down computer completely. Have to unplug to get light to go out.... and be sure it is OFF.
I've recently built my new pc and it's been running fine for a week. Although recently it's been running incredibly slow. After looking around for what it might be I realised my Memory usage is 96% with nothing open.
I've looked through all the processes, there's nothing unusual everything is working fine. It's a hidden process taking up my 7.6gbs of 8gbs of Ram. I've looked around for solutions and nothings worked. Ran a simple avg virus check. Nothing.
Bought an Asus X550Z-WB11 off of Amazon, started it up, immediately upgraded to Win 10, and I'm getting issues with my screen.
If I let it fall asleep for say, ten minutes, then wake it up, it boots up normally, I see the screen for a moment, and then the screen turns of again and no button pressing turns or waiting turns it back on.
Sometimes I can get it to turn back on after it putting it to sleep then waking it up a few times; when I get a success the back light turns on and blinks several times, and then the screen turns on and blinks a few times before stabilizing. If I turn it off and on, the screen usually turns on with no problem.
The first time I restarted my laptop, it told me there was an error and it fixed it, but the screen still blinks and I haven't gotten that message again.
The way it blinks reminds me of having a faulty composite connection and having to wiggle it around into the right position, but no angling of the screen, tilting of the laptop, or light tap anywhere had any effect.
It's not that black screen issue that everyone else has, the screen is completely off.
I was recently browsing the internet (on windows 10) when suddenly it crashes then restarts. Instead of restarting fully it did a disk analysis. It restarted a few times when doing this scan but eventually it finished. When restarting it brought up a completely new desktop picture and had no password. This was completely different to mine. When going onto the desktop there was no taskbar, no recycling bin, but only 4 small white buttons in the bottom right corner. These buttons consist of language, wireless connection, ease of access? and power. None of these buttons seem to do much if nothing. In ease of accses there is a tab saying on screen keyboard and when clicked nothing happens. You cannot right click on the desktop either!
I installed a software two days ago. Now I wish to uninstall it completely and want my PC to be in the state as it was before installing it. A simple uninstall may leave some of the backdoor components installed by this software. Unfortunately, Windows 10 has System Restore off by default which I forgot, so can't use the System Restore.
It gets as far as the login screen, and after I enter my password the circle of little dots just spin, and spin and spin...
I bought this tablet a week ago, it is an Acer One 10 s1002-145A. Earlier today I checked for updates, and tried to download the update to the new build. It never got past 0% downloading.
There were a lot of other strange problems that just started happening today also, when I would try to access links from the Control Panel, the screen would just become inactive - I was unable to interact with or close that window. This happened when I attempted to System Restore also. Attempting to open a CMD prompt as an Administrator would yield no results, except eventually an error message would appear telling me that the CMD window "failed to execute in a timely manner" (or something close to that).
After updating my Windows 10 last night, the sound went out completely. Shortly after changing the speaker properties to 24-bit, 192000, the sound came back. However, it seems like any music I listen to no longer has any bass. Is there anything else I need to do to get my sound back to normal?
I'm running a custom built PC with win10 and an ASUS P9X79 WS motherboard.
I did a free upgrade from windows 7 ulti to win10 pro, everything was smooth for a month on win10, and the whole year prior with windows 7, it was built within a year ago.
So these updates appeared in the win10 update section:
Intel - Other hardware - Intel® Xeon®Â E7 v2/Xeon® E5 v2/Core i7 Power Control Unit 2 - 0EC2 Intel - Other hardware - Intel® Xeon®Â E7 v2/Xeon® E5 v2/Core i7 Power Control Unit 3 - 0EC3 Intel - Other hardware - Intel® Xeon®Â E7 v2/Xeon® E5 v2/Core i7 Integrated Memory Controller 0 Target Address/Thermal Registers - 0EA8
As well as many more.
I clicked to install the updates, then nothing happened, i let it sit over night, woke up still nothing. Restarted my PC and boom.
Asus bios screen says CPU overheat/CPU fan not working. I ignored them so it would boot and here I am. I included a JPEG of speedfan's stats on my PC, showing no fans operating, as well as high temps on core 0 and such.
I then worried maybe it's unsupported and I made a rookie move doing that update. Sure enough I went online and the ASUS website indicates no support for win10 64 bit drivers for my motherboard.
Now I'm wondering how to undo such a thing, I really don't want to use windows restore, as it says it will erase ALL my apps no matter what. Which is strange to me as windows 7 was able to revert back without getting rid of a single app. I'm also wondering if there's another restore function I'm unaware of that doesn't require deleting everything I've installed app-wise.
I have 2 copies of windows one on my 3TB HDD and one on my 250gb ssd. I would like to know how to COMPLETELY delete windows off of my HDD without formatting the partition. I know about mscomfig but I heard it doesn't delete windows of your disk space. How do I remove windows from my HDD disk space without formatting the partition?
