Thanks for these instructions. I haven't tried the Windows key + i before. I'll try that next. However, other suggestions requrie that I can bring up the start menu. During the period that I can't make the Magnifier start, pressing ctrl+escape to open the start menu doesn't work. Clicking on...

I have not tried the Windows key plus i before. I'll try that the next time I start my computer. I wanted to do ctrl-escape and search for "magnifier." However, while my computer is in this state that won't allow for clicking and then opening the magnifier from its icon, it also refuses to...

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise. There are some basic things that I want File Explorer to show every time I open it regardless of directory or drive, such as type and size of a file. There are other things I never ever want to see but File Explorer randomly forces them on me, such as album...
