Windows 10 Features and Review

In Windows 10, many options of classic control panel have been moved to the application settings. Many readers constantly ask me if it is possible to have the good old toolbar icons (tray) interface standard control panel. By default, Windows 10 lets you use the Settings application to display or hide application icons from the tray or customize the icons of the system. If you are interested in using the conventional options of the tray icon in Windows 10, this is what you can do.

In Windows 10, after you click the Customize button in the Taskbar properties, it opens the Settings application to the appropriate page:

on the right side, you will find links to customize the icons and select the system icons should be visible in the system tray (notification area).

However, if you want to use the old user interface of Windows 8 and Windows 7 for the same purpose, you must do the following.

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box
2. Type the following command in the Run dialog box:

    shell ::: {05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} 

   

3. After you press Enter , the good old classic interface appears:

at the time of this writing, this trick works as expected in the latest Windows 10 build 10240. there is no guarantee that it will be available later that Microsoft wants to kill the classic Control panel and replace it entirely with the Settings application.

Tip: For quicker access to the old dialog box, you can create a desktop shortcut and pin it to the Start menu or the taskbar. Right-click on the desktop and select New - Shortcut. Use the following command as a shortcut target:

 explorer.exe shell ::: {05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} 

name like "notification Area Icons" icon and choose the approprtiate from the following file:

 C:  Windows  System32  taskbarcpl.dll 

Finally, right-click the shortcut you created and pin it to the Start menu or the taskbar.

finished.

If you face the problem of fuzzy fonts in Windows 10, it can be very boring and you may not be aware of what changes Microsoft made their OS to understand why you see fuzzy fonts. Since Windows 8.1, Microsoft has changed the behavior of DPI scaling. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your bet at the current DPI scale in Windows 10, you should try the solutions mentioned in the article.

In Windows 8.1, the "scaling style Use XP" global option has been removed. XP setting the style scale can still be used, but you must activate it on a per application. instead, when the CIO is scaled now, the most recent DPI virtualization method introduced in Vista is enabled by default for all applications! However, for applications that do climb incorrectly, fonts are blurred.

If you experience blurry text problems in one application or just a little applications, follow these steps: ..

1. right-click on the shortcut of these applications where you see fuzzy fonts and click Properties

4. Sign from your Windows session and sign in the back

If the result is not always what you do. wanted, try the next solution.

Fixed blurry fonts in Windows 10 by changing the scaling method.

It is possible to return to the scaling method Windows 10 uses an older, used in Windows 8 RTM and Windows 7. For many users, it provides much better results than default
to activate the old method of scaling, do the following: ..

1. Open the Registry editor
2. go to the following registry key

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER  Control Panel  Desktop 

   Tip :. You can access all the required registry key with one click

3. Set the DpiScalingVer parameter to 0x00001018 as shown below:
4. Set the Win8DpiScaling parameter to 1:
5. Create LogPixels appointed a new 32-bit DWORD value and set it to 0x00000078:
6. now, restart Windows 10.

After restarting , you should not be affected by more blurry fonts.

I prepared tweaking registry files ready for use so you can switch between the scale of methods in a single click.

Download registry files

Merge "Windows 8 DPI method.reg" file by double clicking it to activate the legacy scaling. To cancel changes, click the DPI default file method.reg. Do not forget to reboot your PC.

In previous versions of Windows to Windows 7, there was a button that minimizes all open windows and showed the office. In Windows 10, there is no button. Instead, to minimize all open windows and show the desktop, you must move the mouse pointer over the right edge of the taskbar (or the bottom edge if your taskbar is vertical) and click on a tiny invisible button. In this article I want to share how you can add the Show Desktop button classic close Start in Windows 10.

This is what you do:

1. Create a new shortcut by right-clicking an empty area of ​​the desktop -> new -> shortcut. Use the following command as the target:

    explorer.exe shell ::: {3080F0D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257} 

   See the following screenshot:

2. Name your shortcut as "Show Desktop":
3. in the shortcut properties, set its icon in C: Windows explorer.exe
4. Finally, right-click the shortcut you created and select "Pin to taskbar" from the context menu:

once done, you can delete the shortcut you created and drag the item pinned next to the Start button. Now you can use the pinned icon to minimize all open windows.

Personally, I find this more useful than the default icon button offered by Windows 10, which is at the end of the taskbar. Users can find the touch screen by adding useful button too.

In Windows 10, there is a way to restart the operating system quickly and directly launch the troubleshooting options. This is very useful if you have a problem you can not fix in the Windows 10 regular environment. For example, you may need to overwrite or delete files in use. He is a very good alternative to a DVD or USB drive bootable. In this article I want to share how to quickly access the command prompt for troubleshooting in Windows 10.

To start quickly in order to safe mode in Windows 10, follow the instructions below .

1. Open the Start menu.
2. Click on the power button and move the mouse pointer on the restart element, but do not click it.
3. Press and hold key Shift on the keyboard, then click the Restart option. Make sure you hold the Shift key before you click the Restart option.

2. Click Advanced Options on the next screen.
3. Finally, click on the command prompt item.

Your PC restarts. After that, you will be prompted to choose the account to log:

Once connected, the command prompt will be opened as an administrator.

In earlier versions of Windows, the desktop icons were significant enabled by default - Computer (now known as this PC), Network, My Documents were all visible by default. However, in modern versions of Windows, Microsoft has made most of these hidden icons. In Windows 10, only the Recycle Bin is present on the desktop by default. In addition, the Start menu of Windows 10 does not have links to these icons either. Let's see how to add the classic return desktop icons in Windows 10.

In versions of Windows prior to Windows 10, it was relatively simple. Windows 8.1 came again with the classic "Customize" in the Desktop menu. There was a link there to open the dialog box icons of the office where the user can activate the desired icons.

But in Windows 10, Microsoft removed the classical element Personalize from the shortcut menu on the desktop. Once you click on "Customize", it will open the Settings app, where you can get lost finding the office link icon

To make Windows 10 shows the classic dialog desktop icons, you must do the following :.

1. Open the application settings
2. Go to Customize -> Themes
   Tip :. You can open this page directly with the following command:

    ms-settings: themes 

   Press Win + R on the keyboard and type or paste the above command in the Run box. See the complete list of ms-controls settings available in Windows 10. In addition, you might be interesed in reading the complete list of all Windows keyboard shortcuts with Win keys.

3. There you can see the button "desktop icons" on the right side. Once you click it, it will open the familiar dialog box:
4. Check the boxes below the icons you want displayed on your desktop, then click OK.

Users who still prefer the classic personalization window might want to use the Custom Panel for Windows 10. This is a freeware application I created to bring the look and feel of the classic customization window in Windows 10:

Read the following article :. Get classic back with Personalization Personalization Panel for Windows 10.

Windows 10 build 10547 has recently released a number of changes that you might not have noticed. Today I want to draw your attention to the Start menu changes I spotted while playing with this construction. The Start menu is the function that gets the most attention and control by users who have been disappointed by the Windows user interface 8. Let's see what they have changed.

The first change I noticed was a modified menu. If you right click on the element of the File Explorer in Windows 10 RTM, it shows the same menu as The PC folder. Almost all its elements are present. However, in Windows 10 build 10547, Microsoft changed that. Now the Explorer right-click menu files in the Start menu comes with only two elements: Pin to start and more. The rest of the elements were moved unnecessarily, in my opinion, in a sub-menu "Plus":

The context menu for Windows applications was also update. When you right-click a certain universal application as photos, you will also see a new submenu "More". It is possible to access the following: "Turn live tile off," "Detach to the taskbar," "Price and review" and "Share":

And, finally, in Windows 10 build 10547, the number of tiles on the Start menu has been increased from 512 to 2048 . the amount of applications in the Start menu increased from 512 to 2048. So when you open the App list, everything in there is counted. If you like 40 programs, you might have 300 "apps" or elements because it includes folders and subfolders. Thanks to our reader Jose_49 for this info.

Well, that is all that has changed in the Start menu for this construction. Let me know if you have found an interesting change I forgot to mention in this article.

A couple of screenshots have appeared online, featuring new updates to the value Windows 10 default browser, Microsoft Edge. Let's see what we can expect in October, when the update known as "Threshold 2" gets deployed incorporating the changes after Windows 10 RTM build 10240.
Microsoft Edge is the new browser that Microsoft created to replace the old Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge is designed to be faster and support all modern web standards. Microsoft has removed many of IE technology from the browser engine such as ActiveX, VBScript, etc., and also many features of the IE user interface. Edge is implemented as a universal application. Edge does not yet support extensions (add-ons).

In Windows 10 build 10551, Edge got the ability to sync bookmarks and reading list between your Windows devices. This feature will be welcomed by all users who use a Microsoft account. It is one of the features requested by insiders.

The second change is the possibility of opening a new browser window Edge using the button on the taskbar. The user can click the middle running instance of the browser on the taskbar to open a new window.

Unlike desktop applications, most universal applications, with the exception of some applications such as calculator and Edge can not have multiple instances running (via Ithome ).

Since Microsoft changed the release model under Windows 10, users are interested in discovering who build Windows 10, they installed on their PC. As you might be knowing already, Microsoft will not release major versions of Windows but will ship more constantly updates. This recalls the many Linux distributions rolling release model. If you are part of the insider program, you must be even more aware of what you build using. Readers regularly ask me how to find Windows 10 build they are running. Today, I'll show how.

There are several ways to find the version number of the installed Windows 10 operating system.

Windows 10 build 10558 offers several new, beautiful lock screen wallpapers. As you might be knowing, Windows 10 allows the user to set a custom background for the lock screen. In Windows 10 build 10558, new images are available for use in this way.

Windows 10 build 10558 has brought new fancy icons and lots of new features, including Windows Spotlight. Spotlight window is a feature that was pre-RTM builds of Windows 10, but fell in the "RTM" build was 10240. It downloads beautiful images from the Internet and watch them on your lock screen. So every time you start Windows 10 or locked, you will see a new beautiful picture.

We have already displayed a huge collection of Spotlight images that were available for Windows initiated in pre-RTM builds. After you install Windows 10 build 10558, it will download several new images. These images are also very nice:

It looks like Microsoft is desperate to push Windows 10 on all devices on the market. He came to be known to those of you who have Automatic Updates enabled, the now upgrade offers directly shows them that Windows 10 is ready to install. In a way, it forces sneakily Windows 7 and Windows 8 users to install Windows 10 without the option to cancel the upgrade. Not only is it already downloaded but prompt upgrade is immediately represented without explicit user action.

Some users and Internet websites report that they are presented dialogs offer free upgrade to Windows 10, but it has no choice but to withdraw, for the reporter. Worse yet, other users found that Windows Update shows no other options other than to start the upgrade to Windows 10.

This is how it looks:

Microsoft is already known to secretly downloading Windows 10 on PC users, including those who had never opted for the upgrade. Now the software giant decided to go ahead with the next level of force Upgrade .

In my view, Microsoft has gone too far. This is a bad move for users of previous versions of Windows move to Windows 10. Such behavior is unacceptable. It looks like someone at Microsoft decided that the user must carry and use but was not concerned by asking what the user wanted. They seem to have forgotten the fact that the user has a PC. Because of these made by forced day, the average user who does not know all the ways to circumvent the forced upgrade will be unable to avoid the upgrade Windows 10 and have no choice but to move to Windows 10.

As someone who has decided to stick with Windows 7 for a while, I did the following :.

• updates uninstalled telemetry
• Off Windows Update
• I'm using Arch Linux as. my primary operating system, and use a " frozen " Windows 7 without updates when I really need it, for example, to Windows-only programs, which are mainly related to my work or coding for Winaero.

Disabling Windows Update is an extremely precarious solution, but better than having to deal with what updates I need help to hide, remove, twist or disable Windows 10 to avoid making forced day.

at this point, I'm glad I'm not lazy to learn Linux fundamentals and gradually move to it. I now have the choice to decide what to use and how. I think Microsoft should rethink their tactics updated and respect the preferences of the user.

Many people have experienced problems with their hardware and Windows 10, while others have software incompatibilities that are not detected by Windows 10 installer.

To escape the forced update, paste it into Notepad, save it as a batch file and run it from an elevated command prompt:

 wusa / uninstall / kb: 3068708 / quiet norestart wusa / / uninstall / kb: 3022345 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / kb: 2952664 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / kb: 2976978 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / kb: 2977759 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / kb: 3075249 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / kb: 3080149 / quiet / norestart wusa / uninstall / KB :. 3035583 / quiet / norestart 

After doing this, restart your current version of Windows and hide the updates mentioned above

Note that each month, you may have to hide these updates update that is automatically displayed again. In addition, there is no guarantee that Microsoft will not issue a new update that will have the same functionality.

Microsoft signed build 10586 as the "last autumn day" for desktop users and also for mobile phones. This means that the mentioned construction will be published not only for Windows insiders, but also for Windows 10 RTM users. Phone 8.1 Windows users receive the update to Windows Mobile 10 as it is the next step for all supported devices.

Windows 10 Threshold 2 will be the first major update since the launch of Windows 10. It includes all published security patches and stability fixes as well as new features and options.

If you are a Windows initiated, the fall update might not surprise you much. Insiders will be familiar with the changes and new features in the next version, including applications like messaging, Skype and other interface settings.

I recommend you read the following article that mentions all the great changes and the expected features of Windows 10 update autumn (Threshold 2) RTM

of windows 10 Threshold 2 could be released on November 10

please keep in mind that Microsoft has not named the official launch date. So November 10 is just a guess. Let's wait a few days to see what Redmond has planned for the end users. (Via Neowin )

Some users report a strange bug in Windows 10. The arrangement of desktop icons and their position does not remain constant between user sessions. The layout is reset each time they log on the user account. This occurs regardless of the type of account used and affects local, and Microsoft accounts.

To solve this inconvenience, you must follow the instructions below.

1. Get full access to the following registry key:
   If you are using 32-bit Windows 10:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT  CLSID  {42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1 }  InProcServer32 

   If you are using Windows 64-bit 10

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWow6432NodeCLSID{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}InProcServer32

   See the following articles to learn if you do not know

   • How to take ownership of a registry key
   • How to determine if you are running Windows 32- or bits 64 bits
2. now, open the mentioned registry keys (see How to switch to the key desired registry in one click) and set the "(default)" (unnamed) parameter to the following value:

   % SystemRoot%  system32  windows.storage.dll 

   See the following screenshot:

3. Restart Windows 10.

After doing this, your layout desktop icons do not automatically reset more. This problem can be caused by antivirus software or a security suite. In the comments, tell us what antivirus software you installed if you are experiencing this problem.

Windows supported Miracast since Windows 8.1 and Connect palette in Windows 10 ( Win + K ) already supporting cast without thread.

'Cast media device "functionality was there earlier Insider builds of Windows 10, but now appears to be ready to be announced officially. Trick:. Shortcuts Windows key (Win) All Windows users should know 10

There. It is quite possible that the building contains a number of hidden secrets under the hood changes. We will update you as long as we are able to discover new features in Windows 10 build 10576. Stay tuned.

If you are not impressed with Windows 10 and decided not to move it, you've probably been able to the avoid and free upgrade offer. But soon Microsoft is taking another step to coax Windows to users 10. The update that allows the upgrade to Windows 10 will become a recommended update. Recommended updates are automatically installed if your Windows Update settings are configured to do so.
Microsoft's goal is a billion devices running Windows 10 in the next 2 years. As Windows 10 can be used on phones and tablets too, not just the PC and is given away as a free update for Windows 7 and 8 PC users, this billion "devices" figure seems quite real and achievable if you let Microsoft upgrade your device easily to the new operating system. In the PC industry, the growth of the new operating system has slowed dramatically that many users find Windows 7 has more features and more customization in addition to being more usable, more beautiful, faster and backwards compatible.

Windows 10 is still growing, even if slowly, because users interested in level regularly built new operating system. Users who like to follow the new operating system via Insider Preview builds.

Many users who have accepted the upgrade are amateurs who are interested in trying the latest OS from Microsoft.

Many users who are already in Windows 10 are the players. They upgraded because Windows 10 supports DirectX 12 3D games, and because the store has a lot of free casual games too. According to statistics published by the platform of popular Steam game, each fourth Steam user has switched to Windows 10.

The PC average user is a person who accepts everything he sees on the screen, especially if it is advertised as a free update. The average user feels no difference between a UAC prompt and offer upgrade prompt. These people can install Windows 10 and will not be able to go back to previous versions of Windows, since they do not know how.

Moreover, the majority of users seem to be satisfied with their current version of Windows. Windows 7 is the most popular operating system for now. It replaced Windows XP after a long struggle. Windows 7 will be supported for many years, and has beautiful features, a lot of customization, a nice interface, speed, ease of use and compatibility. So most users do not see any reason to move.

Soon, Microsoft will push Windows 10 to everyone as a recommended update. Many users have enabled recommended updates to be installed automatically. This means that Windows 10 will come to their PC silently and automatically. This has happened in the near past and many users were not happy to have 3 GB of Windows 10 installation files automatically downloaded without their consent and without any warning.

The good thing is that Windows 10 Setup is won 't be automatic. Will require a sort of explicit user confirmation.

What is bad but once it arrives as a recommended update, huge files can be downloaded in silence. This can affect many users who use a limited data plan for Internet.

Microsoft allows users to 31 days to return to the previous version of Windows after upgrading to Windows 10. To avoid Windows 10 and continue using Windows 8.1 / 8 or Windows 7, is a good idea to disable recommended updates in Windows update settings. Personally, I completely disabled Windows Update. I use Windows very rarely and for a limited number of tasks. Because I am not happy with the new versions of Windows XP after I switched to Linux and have been very happy since.

Several Windows 10 users face this unexpected behavior of Windows 10 is that when searching from the Start menu or in the Settings app, the search returns no results. If you face this problem, follow the instructions below to resolve this issue.

When Windows 10 starts, it shows you a login screen prompting you to enter a password. If you have more than one user in your operating system account you will be able to click on the account user the image you want, then enter the account password. Instead, you can make Windows 10 asks you to type the user name too, and the password to the login screen. It is a good measure of security and privacy. Here is how this can be done

In Windows 10, Microsoft implemented a new Start menu and a new user interface parameters instead of just continuing and improving on it they had. It is based on the new platform App World and has nothing common with the old Start menu or Windows Explorer Shell 7. Because of this change, they reimplemented the parameter for controlling the document history / jumplists but problem is that this new option does not disappear Run dialog history! There are now more no option in the settings of the operating system to clear Run dialog history. Let's see how to delete the run history in Windows 10.

But in Windows 10, even if you disable the setting "Show recently opened in Jump Lists elements Start or the taskbar" from the Settings app, it does not remove the history Run dialogue. There is no way to clear the Run history, except by manually editing the registry. to clear run history in Windows 10 , you must do the following

• Open the Registry Editor
• Go to the following path :.

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER  Software  Microsoft  Windows  CurrentVersion  Explorer  RunMRU

Here you just erased! Run history in Windows 10.

quite possible that Microsoft will add an option to the Settings app. But at the time of this writing, the latest version of Windows 10 build 10586 offers nothing for the task.
