check marks

About this tag
Check marks in Windows Explorer and Device Manager serve as visual indicators for file selection, drive status, and device settings. Users have reported issues with Shift+click and check marks not mass-selecting files in File Explorer, as well as confusion over green check marks on drives versus blue bars representing used space. Green check marks on photos may indicate synced or processed files, while red exclamation points suggest errors. In Device Manager, check marks in USB Root Hub properties control power management settings, but changes may not persist after reboot. These topics cover troubleshooting selection behavior, interpreting icon meanings, and saving configuration changes in Windows.

    Windows 10 What is the meaning of the Explorer icons?

    Windows Vista how to save settings in USB Root Hub

    Here's a skill testing question. For whatever reason, let's say I uncheck the check marks in the USB Root Hub (in Device Manager). I reboot, but they're right back there. Let's reverse the scenario ... let's say they're presently empty and I go to put the check marks in there. Upon rebooting...
