Windows 10 System Font Change not applying properly
I found through a Google search a small app called Advanced System Font Changer, which I ran and it worked perfectly. It not only changed the desktop and File Explorer fonts, but also applied the change to things like the font in the Newsbar, all the Windows title bars, the tabs, bookmark bar...- mjw72652

Windows 10 Can't see shared folders in the Navigation Pane in File Explorer on either of two networked laptops
I tried the network reset. It didn't completely help on the bs234wm. In File Explorer on this machine, I can see the 15-bs234wm on the network now ("BACKUP"), both laptops as media devices, my Roku streaming device, and that's all. Moreover, the main pane display in the tiles view separates...- mjw72652

Windows 10 Can't see shared folders in the Navigation Pane in File Explorer on either of two networked laptops
The network works perfectly. All sharing is working just fine. Device discovery can't be the problem, or the machines wouldn't be able to see the mapped drives from the other laptop. Reading from and writing to the shared drives has encountered no problems whatsoever for several months, either...- mjw72652
