I just got a Win 10 computer, and I am in the process of starting to prep it for moving all my old files over from my XP computer (using PCmover).
One of the things PCmover told me to do was go into Win 10's Task Scheduler and disable the tasks under the Active Tasks tab, which I did.
But now I can't find those disabled tasks to enable them after I complete the PC-to-PC file move. They've disappeared completely.
I went to settings / personalization / background and browsed to change my background picture to one that I had on my hard drive.
I was not satisfied so I went back to settings / personalization / background. The original picture that I wanted, was no longer there.
The original 5 have been depleted by my 2 poor choices. Where are the original background pictures located so that I can restore my background?
What has happened to the "SEE WHAT'S PRINTING" feature when you "see" your printer in the SETTINGS view in w10? Tried to cancel printing a 20 page document but could not even do that... could not find it.
View 2 RepliesI'm sitting on my windows 7 here, ready to upgrade to windows 10 with the "Get Windows" app.
One complication though is that I'm running on an old harddrive. One of those simple SATA disks.
I got my hands on a new SSD disk which I would prefer to have windows on.
So, How could I in the simplest way get windows 10 and have it installed on my new SSD?
Should I upgrade to windows 10 to begin with?
So I want to see all of the lockscreen pictures for Windows 10 but can't find them.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find the location of the icons located on the start menu (as seen in the image I uploaded). I am specifically looking for the folder explorer one as I am trying to set the taskbar explorer to that icon. I am using the program IconsExtract to scan my computer for icons but to no avail...
I figure since I'm not finding it as an icon, they must not technically be icons. As we are able to change their color via our color settings, they must be some sort of svg or something of the sort.
They are located in the Segoe MDL2 Assets Font. I was looking at this site and then realized that front-end uses fonts for icons as well. Then boom. win.
Now to figure out how to use it in xaml files and where the start menu is calling it.

Is there a table that tells me (translates for me) how to do in Windows 10 what I used to be able to do in Windows 7?
For example, how do I make my Windows 10 jump lists have as many entries for 'recent' or for 'frequent' as I used to have for Windows 7? (My jump list for Word had the 10 most recent files -- now in Windows 10 it only shows about 3)
Or, how to set the amount of time before inactivity on the computer causes it to lock?
I keep on getting this bug where it won't let me click on some tasks running on the taskbar, I am currently using Windows 10, is there any fixes? Am i the only one getting this issue?

View 1 RepliesI backup photos from my phone to Google Photos which then automatically syncs them to my hard drive to a folder in Google Drive. The folder containing these images in Google Drive has been included in the Pictures library, but the Photos app doesn't see them and says "No readable photos, videos or folders found." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Photos app. The pictures show up fine in Windows Photo Gallery. Does the Photos app has always ignored images in Google Drive or is this a recent development?
View 5 RepliesI've just clean installed Windows 10 with some app. The TaskSchedule shows many hidden tasks. Is this service harmful to my desktop: BackgroundUploadTask
View 4 RepliesBeen noticing a number of errors when I open task scheduler for e.g. SVC Restart Task - The task XML contains a value that is incorrectly formatted or out of range" Other than the aforementioned task there are errors with the following:
a) Schedule Scan
b) Reboot
c) Policy Install
d) Queue Reporting
e) sih
f) Scheduled Start
g) Automatic App Update
I am a member of the WIndows Insider programme, and these errors have persisted across different builds including the latest one 10240. These were reported to MS thru the Feedback app.
I downloaded the official ISO today and upon doing a clean install noticed the errors.
Application Log entries read as follows:
Error 16385 "Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2115-07-05T14:11:34Z. Error Code: 0x80041318"
This happens every 30 seconds or so for about 3 minutes. And starts again every time I launch an MS Office program.
I have tried the old trusted method of deleting the relevant registry entries and importing the task XML to no avail.
I have an ASUS Desktop PC M11AD Series computer with an Intel core i5. I am running windows 10 Home on my computer and ever since I got Windows 10, It has been randomly restarting. It will restart while doing simple tasks, like using Google Chrome, or using Skype. I have tried to monitor what apps cause the restarts, but it is extremely random. I upgraded my computer 2-3 weeks ago, and it is starting to get on my nerves. I have switched my browser to Microsoft Edge and it has been working fine.
When this occurs, my computer will freeze for about 5-10 seconds, and then it will to a regular restart. Sometimes when it boots back up it says "Windows is updating" and sometimes nothing. I have disabled auto updates on my computer and I just can't seem to find the problem. Sometimes it will freeze in chunks like 3 seconds, it works for 1 second and then 4 seconds and then restarts. My friend also has Windows 10, but his doesn't restart. I can't find out what build I'm on, and I upgraded when Windows said I could upgrade.
Other than going through each and every task in the task scheduler, is there a way to see those that are allowed to wake the machine while it is sleeping? My PC woke up this morning at 3:30 am. It then went back to sleep about ten minutes later. I've checked all of the normal things (no auto-maintenance, etc.) so I' suspecting it is a task that woke the PC up.
View 2 RepliesAfter upgrade to windows 10, tasks still run but don't appear in task scheduler so I can't edit them. Where are they kept? More importantly, how to I get them to show up where I can edit them?
When opening Task Scheduler I get at least 50 boxes I have to close before I can exit the program (or use task manager to do so.)
Since upgrading to Windows 10 last night, app notifications are disabled and the checkbox is greyed out. The top of the screen says, "Some settings are managed by your organization." There is no organization. This is my home PC, I have placed no restrictions on it, nor have I ever touched local group policies.

View 2 RepliesI disabled UAC and when I try to open Edge, Calculator, etc I get a window message that says that I cant open it with UAC disabled, I find it something very annoying that makes me think about going back to Windows 7, is there any around this?
In Windows 7 for example, I was able to open the calculator with UAC disabled.
I have disabled Cortana but it still runs in the background.
And can it be disabled completely ?

View 2 RepliesI was on my Window 10 Administration account (Called Tavernier). Then Windows wanted me to link a email so security. I do so. I set my own password. But I realise that it asked me at each starts of the computer. Since I'm the only user I want my computer to start directly on the desktop. So I remove the password.
I wanted to install something for my work, it pops me the normal "Use the Admin rights to execute this" clic yes or no. But this time it asked me a password. So I try my last password and an empty one, the Yes bouton was always gray. So I couldn't install anything on my own computer.
So I decide to open the Super Administration account with the user net Administrator /active: yes
So I go in user options and I realise that my normal account (Tavernier) is not here any more. Gratter. So I want to add one, impossible. Even in command line. Then I unactivate the Super Administrator account, restart computer.
And the result is : "Your account has been disabled. Contact the adminstrator of this computer".
I can't launch the computer in safe mode to open again this Super Admin account. So I feel like I can't use my own computer. I have so really important things to do with my computer.
Why Show app notification is disable ? And how means some settings are managed by your organization ?

How enable this option ?
I upgraded my Win 7 Professional over 1 month ago to Win 10.
A few minor problems but suddenly yesterday the wifi went off and will not locate the router or turn back on in settings.
I have read that it is because of a conflict with VPN. I removed the VPN and reset Win 10 (losing several valuable programs in the process !!) and have also cleaned the registry but there has been no change !!!
