That will do very nicely davehc, thank you!

Because I keep getting the Taskbar refusing to autohide I wanted to have a shortcut to Windows Explorer on the desktop so that I could just restart it with one click, instead of going into Task Manager. Is this possible? Thanks.

Glad it helps! Reading it again it seems to give more options than Windows 7 did. I kept the iso discs from when I upgraded my 2 laptops because I knew I had seen this somewhere!

I found it at last! Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my PC after upgrading? Yes. Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you can reinstall or perform a clean installation on the same device. You won’t need a product key to re-activate Windows 10 on the same hardware. For...

Looks like you have it all organised! It is so much easier with a desktop though, having room for extra drives and do on. I used to use desktops but they took up so much room that I decided to ditch it and use laptops instead. I have another laptop that I'm looking to repair and upgrade to...

Hi Sonny & Mike, thanks for your thoughts on this MIke, I appreciate it. Sonny, I've always assumed it would be like doing an update from 8.1 to 10 which I've done on 2 laptops and I didn't lose any programs when I did that. All my programs are on C:\. Good news that it can be done. I had to...

Thanks Mike, I don't want to refresh windows 10 as that will give me a whole load of extra work. My question was though, about using an ISO to overwrite everything but leaving my files and programs intact, just like I did when I updated from 8.1 to 10 in the expectation that it rewrite the...

Does anyone have a response to my last please? My current build is 1511 10586. If I obtained the ISO for that build what would happen if I ran it? Would it replace all the missing Onedrive files and get it working again and would it leave everything else intact and working? Many thanks.

Another thought. I did ask earlier in this thread. I upgraded from Win 8.1 using the 64 bit .iso from Microsoft. My Win 10 has been validated. What would happen if I ran the .iso file again? Presumably it would rewrite all the missing OneDrive files? Or would there other problems?

Hi Mike, thanks for taking the time to pursue this for me. Trouble is, I don't get the Onedrive icon in the system tray, not even when I look in hidden icons, nor is it listed in customise which icons to show. Nor is it listed in File Explorer. If I search for OneDrive, there are a whole bunch...

Hi Mike, sadly the OneDrive icon does not appear in the system tray, I also checked Customise and select which icons appear in the system tray. I looked for C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\Update but there is no Update folder. I searched my whole C:\ drive but no sign of an...

Well, I tried More Options then upload fle but I notice a little BLOCK window shows and if I ignore it I then get the error .Of course! I've used Advanced System Care for several years and I don't remember it doing that. The loss of OneDrive is my doing, I'm sure.

I've retrieved five registry changes from what I think is the approx. timescale and saved them as .txt but the upload file 'errors' every time I try to upload. Am I using the correct format?

Thanks for looking MIke, but that is one I had seen earlier but it is for Windows 8.1. The other one is for Win 10 but for business users. And no, I don't want to do a reset! I would rather manage without the program.

Will that have any detrimental effect on my working system? I'm not aware of any other problems.
