Are you on an earlier version of Insider Preview? Preview releases eventually expire. What's the version and build number on your system? edited: Sorry just realized you were on 8 and not 10. But if you are on a Windows 8 prerelease, it's pretty much the same story. If you never had an...

In Edge, if you click on the Favorite icon, a box shows up. If the 'Save in' box says Favorites and If you click on ok, it will store your link there. But Favorites is not the same as Favorites Bar. Change the 'Save in' box to Favorites Bar and it should show up. For more info about Edge and...

For those Windows 10 users who don't like the app list in the Start Menu, Microsoft has been listening. In the latest Insider Release (14942) there is now an option to turn the app list on or off. Then, once you have hid the Installed App list, you can toggle it on and off through the Start...

Well, my regular day-to-day system is the I-7 on a P755D Asus Motherboard released somewhere around 2009 but there are no driver releases for Windows 10. No chipset updates, just 8.1 stuff. So yes, it's running just fine, but it is old enough that it's a little surprising that I don't have any...
