Every time I open a folder with enough files to require a scroll bar, the view snaps back to the top after 10 seconds or more. I have turned off the color option and the wallpaper option.
View 3 RepliesI installed Win 10 on a new pc I built. Its working ok except twice when I turned the pc on all the icons had shifted to the left side of the monitor screen. Normally I group the icons into groups that are alike. When they snap to the left it is a mess. Is this a problem with Win 10? Is there a way I can get them back to groups without doing it one icon at a time?

View 8 RepliesI am running win 10 pro 32 and the way I have file explorer set up is in List view in name order, the problem I have is because there are so many folders when I right click and copy a name ( i.e. Tech Reports v23) then right click and make a new folder, that "new folder" is thrown into alphabetical order before I can paste the name in, usually as i try I've clicked in an empty location meaning i have to go through the routine of right click then rename then paste, not fun when you have between 20 to 40 a day to do. So need switching off the refresh while im working in that folder so it only refreshes when i manually right click once I've finished working

View 2 RepliesI upgraded to 10 from 8.1 on Friday and everything worked great. Suddenly, on the following Monday afternoon Windows began to act up. Either at the desktop or while in a game, suddenly the start menu and Cortana will stop responding. Usually shortly thereafter Explorer will stop responding, as well.
If I hover over items on the start bar - buttons, Cortana search, pinned applications, the system tray - the item will highlight like I can interact with it. But when I click, nothing happens. The start menu won't open, Cortana won't open, applications won't start, etc.
This seems to happen between thirty and forty-five minutes after booting up. I checked the event logs for Application, Security and System; there are critical errors but after spending a few hours following up, those don't seem to be related at all. I did not drill down any further than those logs.
I've attempted the solution at the following link, without any success. [URL] / I've also attempted a system restore to the previous day when everything was still working, but again, no luck.
How do i stop 10 from adding any USB removable drives (a second time, since they're always show in MyPC which i have expended)?
View 9 RepliesHow do I stop the running instance of MSIServer? Task manager won't stop the process I get the requested operation is not permitted. I have tried sc stop MSIServer from the command prompt as administrator and get error 1052 requested operation is not allowed. So how do I stop the service; the running instance is preventing anti virus from updating and other programs from installing.
View 1 RepliesI'm on the latest Insider build. I don't want my PC to sleep nor the monitors to sleep nor the hard drives. Unlike most other issues with sleep and Win10, my problem isn't waking it up but keeping it awake.
Microsoft seem to have scattered the sleep options all over the place. I methodically worked my way round, starting in Settings where I can quite simply select no sleep for both the computer and the monitors. Simple? Nope. I found relevant settings in these places:
Right click desktop and choose display settings
Also from display settings choose advance power settings
Control Panel Power Settings
Change Plan settings
Maybe these are all links to the same settings but in any event whichever route I take, the PC still sleeps or the monitors still turn off or both. Or the screen saver kicks in.
I wonder if the UEFI bios is over-riding Windows? God knows but how can I keep my PC awake overnight
how do i stop or turn off my pc? It stays on all the time

View 2 RepliesI just installed windows 10. No problems installing or logging on. However, after logging on, the desktop keeps flashing and I cant click on any icons. The only thing I can do is use CTRL + ALT + DEL.
I've noticed similar posts saying the same thing that they have NORTON INTERNET Security installed which I have.
At the urging of the popups from MS urging me to upgrade to Windows 10 ads I ran the compatibility test the results of which assured me that my computer was compatible with Windows 10. I then upgraded and started using Windows 10. I had all sorts of problems after that. I contacted the manufacturer of my system (DELL) and they told me that they were not supporting my system with drivers for Windows 10 and that I needed to pay a fee to their tech support for restoring my system back to Windows 7 for a stiff charge. The DELL tech spent hours using Remote Assist and the telephone to restore Windows 7. After restoring Windows 7 I had lost a lot of important documents and spent hours solving all sorts of remaining problems. I now have Windows 7 back and running well but I am constantly subjected to those annoying pop ups urging me to download and install the Windows 10 upgrade. How do I get rid of those?
My current system -
Hardware: DELL Studio XPS 435 MT
OS: Windows Home Premium 7 SP1
How to keep iTunes from starting upon login. Task Manager and CCleaner both don't have any info on it.
View 9 RepliesOK. So I downloaded and installed Win 10. I found it to be very unstable on my laptop, freezing, going to a black screen, etc. So I rolled back to Win 7. However I now get a popup every 10-15 minutes encouraging me to move to Win 10.
I'm not ready to do that yet (again). I want to wait a few months until they have had a chance to resolve all the issues that have been found. So how do I let them know to stop the popups? I will upgrade when I am ready to do so.

View 3 RepliesAgain today, when cleaning cookies and trying to find where the pop-ups came from I traced it to IE.. Well I do not use IE nor do I use Edge which is constantly running. I still love Firefox and Chrome.
I went to Microsoft and there is info on there saying to uninstall it. Did that and still. I am very agravated only because it was hacked somhow, I did manage to remove the culprit but I hate the fact that I do not do anything to get into trouble and IE seems to.

1. Go into "C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownload" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch
Windows Update is stuck at 98% download of 2,085.1MB and won't stop downloading as I have task manager on. It's been over 4.2GB download and I'm afraid to stop it.

View 3 RepliesI have just upgraded my PC from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
My antivirus software needed to restart and boot in to Safe Mode.
But, for years I have used the 4 digit pin login from Win 8,but I cannot remember the normal password.
Safe Mode ony allows login via the normal password and not the pin, so I nol longer have accessto my PC.
How can I get the PC to start in normal mode.
I do not have any install or recovery media.
