Hi I just got through setting everything up in build 9926. Most of the problems I had with the previous build have been fixed. My keyboard lights work, but the Caps Lock key doesn't work exactly as it should. The Caps Lock key does turn on Caps Lock, but it won't turn it off again. To turn it...

Windows 7 built in search is terrible. For a start it starts searching before you've finished typing the search term. It doesn't display the folder path in search results. When I click on a folder and then try to go back or up one level it hangs my computer to the point where I have to force...

I need to have a shortcut in file explorer go down a list of three targets and pick the first that works. Since I need this for about ten folders, it isn't really efficient to use separate shortcuts and just test which one is working at the time. The problem is that the name of the target is...

Good day, all I'm new here, and this is my 1st post. What brings me here, is that the Start menu's Help and Support is not functioning. The same can be said, when I attempt to use the toolbar's Help/View Help. The F1 key is useless, as well. I can't figure out what happened to the...

A number of Linux distros have small footprints that make them especially suited to applications like running them from a USB stick. What accounts for the difference in size compared to the "full" sized distros? What is missing? Is it just that full-sized ones have bloat from being bundled...

Is it safe to enable/disable the NAT funcionality on my router? And are there any secondary issues if I turn off my NAT?

There is something that has come as part of 8.1.1 that I wonder how many are aware of it or how nice it is. Traditionally or historically we have been accustom to Desktop & Taskbar. Not long ago came the ability to Pin things to Taskbar. Recently, that came to include the ability to Pin Store...

Hey guys new here. Anyways I want to find a way (if possible) to pin folders with shortcuts in them to some application i use frequently but just want to pin the folder to the menu not each individual app. I noticed how some shortcuts on the startmenu show an arrow. then when you click the arrow...

Since the mass update about 10 days ago, (not the last one about 3 days ago), my Office 2013 Pro Plus 64 bit has not been working at all. I can’t open either the programs or any file created by them. Two minor issues also started at the same time. On every start of Windows desktop.ini pops up...

One thing (option) the Update offers is showing Store APPs on the Taskbar. Fair enough &... Please, note: IF this is chosen, The Switcher Bar is, still, there, so they are, in effect, in 2 locations. However, the functionality is not identical @ each. Handy as it is having them on the...
