View 1 RepliesHow do I get Windows Explorer to remember my settings when I exit? For instance, if I'm in a folder and click "Size all columns to fit", then I exit Explorer and come back to that folder again, it doesn't remember that I clicked "size all columns to fit" and I have to do it again.
View 1 RepliesHere is my problem: I keep my folders in different settings, some with large icons, some with details view.
Today they are all reset to details view, and items are listed by name. Every folder is reset to the same settings. When I try to change they always defaults to details view. Even when I go to another folder and press back, the settings are already reset.
Also, icons on desktop are keep returning to default state (big icons), I keep them smaller, when I hold ctrl and scroll mouse wheel they become smaller, but next time I reset windows they return to default (big icons) view. I already cleaned shellbag in regedit, reset windows but it is still the same.
I saw this other theme with similar problem, but I am not using Eset, I use Kaspersky.
Also I don't have this key in my registry :
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1Desktop
Windows 10 Home RTM.
IE11 default.
In the past, if I opened the Run and enter a command, that command will stay in the Run box.Next time I opened the Run, I would see that last command in the box.
Today, I notice it does not do that anymore. My last entry will not appear in the Run box. Just a blank Run box.
Is that normal ? Do other Win 10 Home users have the same thing ?
In my upgrade of Win7 to Win10 (winver 1511 build 10586), the RUN command remembers its MRU. However, in a fresh install of Win10 (winver 10240), RUN does NOT remember its MRUs.
Importing the relevant registry key from the first into the second, does NOT solve the problem. Is there an effective way of getting Win10's RUN command to remember its MRUs ?
In every version of Windows 10 I have used, including the most recent official build (and unlike every previous Windows including XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc...) my window positions on the desktop are not remembered (sticky) each time I close the window. Meaning that each time I open a window I have to either re-position it or adapt to wherever Windows has chosen to place it.
View 9 RepliesI want to click on my shortcut and fire up Ninja Trader without having to click run as Administrator, which I am, and without clicking yes to the UAC pop up window.
How can I change a shortcut permission to open without jumping through all these hoops?
Even though it says I'm the Admin, do I need to go to the Elevated Admin to do simple things like saving a Power & Save setting, which I can't do currently?
I upgraded to Win 10 few weeks ago and I have a small issue with it.I can't make Win 10 open windows where i want them to open.
Previously with Win 7 I had the Explorer open on the right side of the screen, taking about half of the screen. My browser would open on the left side taking up the rest of the screen. It was very easy to set up. I just resized it to what I wanted, placed it where I wanted and closed it down. After reopening it would open in the same place, same size.
I tried the same with Win 10 and it doesn't work... Every time I reboot and open my browser and Explorer I have to readjust them. I know that's a very minor thing, but it bothers me every time I turn my PC on. how I can force Win 10 to remember where to open windows?
I can't get Edge browser to remember my Gmail password. Remember passwords is on and it remembered all of my other IDs and passwords..
View 3 RepliesI've just installed Wiondows 10 Insider Preview Build 14279 and I've noticed a problem.

How can I solve this problem? It was working well before, with my "regular" Windows 10 ....

On my plugged in HP laptop default the screen brightness is set to maximum despite making changes in the Power & Sleep menu screen. I've even tried creating my own Power Plan but the next time it restarts it changes to the HP recommended power plan which sets the screen brightness to maximum.

View 3 RepliesI mainly keep my computer hooked up to my TV and my scaling is set to 125%, generally this is fine for everything, however there are some apps (particularly, Readily, from the windows store) that could be at 150% or so. Is there a way to give this app a custom parameter (Nothing in the apps settings that I could find) like this while retaining 125% for everything else?

View 2 RepliesSo I did the Windows 10 upgrade (WOOHOO!) Everything went smoothly during the install. As I was checking out the start menu I clicked on the little Settings cog in the lower left. All that happens when I do this is a super quick flash of what I assume is the settings window. Its there and then its gone. I also tried right clicking on my name and picture and the top and hitting change account settings. Same thing happens.
Maybe related: Many of my programs wont set as default, such as chrome and a few games want me to allow permissions EVERY time I open them.
I have a desktop (Dell) and a Surface Pro 3 - both on Windows 10. I have the syncing setting under My Account on both machines onto ON. However, no syncing occurs between the two machines!

View 1 RepliesTrying to add a new DNS IP address. Go to the adapter, go to the IPV4 properties and advanced and add the new DNS IP address. Every thing is fine until I close the adaptor window and it pops up an error "an unexpected condition occurred, not all of your requested changes in settings could be made"... Even if I make no changes at all and just open and close it I get this. Need to set the new DNS as first on the list.

View 1 RepliesThe settings app won't open on my laptop running windows 10. I'm aware that this is a common problem but the troubleshooter released by microsoft doesn't work for me, as it fails to detect a problem. I'm also aware that there is an update to fix this issue, but I can't access windows update.
