The new Windows notifications appear over my windowed fullscreen games, especially in one game covering up the minimap. Is there a way to make it appear under them? It used to work perfect in Windows 8 and earlier, where the speech bubble notification would appear over my non-fullscreen programs, but would be hidden behind windowed fullscreen ones.

Is there any option in Wndows 10 to make system remember that I prefer fullscreen windows from the start?
When I start any program its window appears in background - behind others. Even it is the first program I start its windows is not active and I need to click it to make active.
That issue appeared when I was with Windows 8.1 and after upgrade to Windows 10 remains. What I have tried - changing the register value of ForegroundLockTimeout to 0 but it didn't work.
When I click to start some programs, I get this AFS Error Info window. After clicking OK, I then get the UAC window. Except for the extra step, nothing goes wrong--it's just annoying. Sometimes programs requiring a UAC show this AFS error, sometimes not. What this is and how to stop it?

my "Get Windows X" notification has disappeared, yet I haven't received an email with my free Windows 10 copy,even though I applied for it and my hardware meets the requirements(running Windows 7 Professional at the moment).Is this an issue or is MS simply issuing the free copies at their own pace and not to all users at once?The taskbar options panel says that GWX(get windows 10) app is set to be visible at all time but is inactive.

View 1 Replies[URL] .... I originally installed windows on 1440p resolution. I then upgraded that monitor to a 4k monitor and the notifications/tray menus for some programs seem to still open as if its a 1440p monitor. I have two side monitors that are 1440p and the notifications load properly on those but its very annoying that they load in the middle of my screen on my 4k monitor. I really don't want to reinstall windows or multiple programs.

View 2 RepliesHow to stop this damn notification from popping up every five minutes? I've tried everything. I've let it scan my computer (both quick-scan and full-scan), but within five minutes the notification pops back up again. I've looked online and found that it can be down to a certain setting in CCleaner, I use CCleaner but the option that all the solutions say to untick isn't present in the latest versions.
I'm running Windows 10 64bit.
I have a new Netgear USB wireless router I want to install. When I attempt to run the Netgear Windows10-version installation software for the Driver, the installation crashes with the "Windows Install Error 1603" notification. I cannot figure out what this means, except something to do with the Installer being unable to load the driver. The router IS rrecognized in Device Manager, but with a yellow warning that "Windows could not load the driver".
EVERYTHING else on my desktop is working just great, not a problem anywhere.
Netgear Live Chat support is stumped; they told me to get another unit. Well, I have done that already! The strange thing is that BOTH these routers are INSTANTLY recognized by my laptop running Windows 10 just like my Desktop is. The problem AIN'T the router! Something in Win 10 on my Desktop isn't right, and I need to find out what to do to fix it.
My friend installed Win10and he misses playing AoE in fullscreen like in Windows 8.1. Now the app opens inside a window.
View 3 RepliesI'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, and I'm quite having my issues when it comes to playing my games. I have NBA 2K14 installed and whenever I run the game in fullscreen mode, there is an fps drop and whenever I use windowed mode, it just turns out fine.
I have also installed the driver updates from NVIDIA's website. My video card is a GeForce GT 610 as of this moment but I'll be changing it to a GT 730 soon btw. I don't wanna play games in windowed mode.
When Windows 10 is functioning normally, you can hold the Windows/Start-key down and press the arrow keys to move and resize the active window.
(i.e. Start-key + left moves the window to the left half of your screen;
Start-key + right moves the window to the right half of your screen;
Start-key + up maximizes the window to the full screen;
Start-key + down minimizes the window to the taskbar)
When I start a game I go in Windowed mode, And when I press ALT + Enter to go in fullscreen mode, or when I change it from the settings, The game crashes, And I see a little CMD icon in my windows start bar, it goes away in less than a second.
I tried formatting Windows, But it doesn't work.

I'm using the Aerolite theme. I would like to have a distinct difference in colour between active and inactive windows (i.e. the window border and the window bar). In Windows 7 I was able to set the active window colour to blue and the inactive windows' colour to grey (similar to Windows Classic). Is there a way to do that in Windows 10? Simply having a darker and a lighter shade of the same colour won't be good enough -- I'd like to have two distinct colours.

When I start some programs the program will start up normal, It shows up as running in the task bar I can even alt-tab and see the running program but I cant see the program on my desktop in order to interact with it. I have tried cascading all my windows it still will not show up. Ive tried right clicking the program on the task bar and selecting "move" that does not work. This only started when I installed windows 10. Some of the programs that wont show up are.
ASUS GPU Tweak
Netflix
Control Panel (occasionally happens but can get it back by restarting computer)
Program files (.exe) which are not installed (and so don't have a shortcut) are not being found by Windows search. Shortcuts, folders etc with the same name all show up.
Indexing is complete and .exe is defined (as default) in indexing options to Index Properties Only using the File Properties Filter. If I open up the old Windows 8 fly-out style search then .exe are found so they must be in the index.
I found this thread which is the same [URL] .... but the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFolderTypes registry key doesn't exist in 10.
How to make this work in the normal Windows search? (I'm not interested in any third party search tool).
For a particular program(Microsoft office/Driver Booster) it says "Windows cannot find <program path>.Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." even if it is installed properly.
View 1 RepliesWhen I open anything in Windows 10 the program window is a bright blinding white. I tried the Settings and the color option in there but it didn't work, neither did adjusting the brightness. How do you change the color on the program windows?
View 1 RepliesI have noticed that the area which shows shut down, personal folders etc is always visible when fullscreen start menu is not enabled. But when you change to fullscreen mode, you have to unfolde that part of the start menu, which I find very anoying, since i prefer fullscreen start menu.
So the question is, can you pin that part to the fullscreen start menu.
when I set a default program in the Settings app and then open a file, Windows still asks which program I want to use. Admittedly, it does this only once per file type, but this is extremely annoying in a work environment where there are numerous computers.
For example, I went into the Settings app and set the .AU3 file extension to be opened in a specific program. Then, I double-clicked an .AU3 file, and I got this window:
It has the correct default in the above image, but it asks if I want to "keep using this app." Why? Can I make this stop?
