    Windows 8 How can I change this BONKERS behaviour by Windows?

    Hello One long-standing feature of Windows really, REALLY p*sses me off. All I want it that when I click on an icon on the taskbar, I want to be taken to that application. Every time. With no exceptions. However, it seems that in Windows, the SECOND time you click on any application, it takes...

    Windows 10 Does 'svchost.exe' being in the 'SysWOW64' folder, constitute a Virus/Malware?

    I have read at multiple places that the file 'svchost.exe' should only be in the 'System32' folder. I searched my PC and this file is also present in the 'SysWOW64' folder. Does this mean that there is a virus/malware? Note:- I have also read at wikipedia that this file has one of its image...

    Windows 7 What good are libraries?

    Without getting too deep into the various features of libraries, I'd like to know their basic purpose. I have found them just getting in my way, but I'm afraid that deleting items in them will actually delete the same items where they really belong, if that makes any sense.

    Windows 10 Task manager - diff between Processes and Details

    Hi, I'm kind of curious as to what Windows decides to list in the Processes list and the Details list. I'm confused as to why there are far more listed executable files in the Details tab than in the processes tab. Is this because Details lists everything with and without a UI? Thanks.

    Windows 10 Apps vs programs

    I tend to use "app" to refer to the metro apps and "program" to refer to things like excel or Word. But in W10 menus, "app" seems to refer to both which I find confusing. Why the blurring of the distinction? Thanks.
