Can't get the datemodified: trick to work in my windows explorer. It doesn't show the promised calendar, parameters such as "thisweek" give nothing. Is WIndows 10 a bunch of crap? Never had this and a hundred other problems with 7 but it seems we're forced to use this OS or migrate to Linux...

I have a relatively new asus-computer (i7-6700 HQ-CPU, 2,6 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, 64 Bit) + W 10 Home.
Suddenly it works really slow, searching files, f.e on both of my external harddrives (each 1,8 TB / each 1,4 TB free). It finds results but sometimes it searches "forever"...?!?

For information, I didn't do any disk cleanup and also i don't use...

I'm running Windows 8.1. When I save a document in Word 2013 and I begin to enter a tag I use often ("Public Speaking"), Word suggests a short list of tags as I type. That list contains the tag "public speaking anxiety" (with four spaces between "public" and "speaking"). I'd like to...
