I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and was quite happy with it until my desktop icons disappeared and the tiles that you saw when clicking on the start button that were small suddenly became big like windows 8 and took over the whole screen! How can I get it back to when it first installed?
Loaded it on my spare 500gb HD, took ages & had to do it twice from the 7gb usb stick.
The swiping to the right does not work. Any other way to get whatever is in there?
Do you think Classic Shell will work onw10?
The dropdown menu from the Start Button seems fully active.

When I right click my Taskbar and select Properties, I have Taskbar, Navigation and Toolbars Tabs, but there is no Start Menu Tab. I can't customize my Start Menu. Isn't there supposed to be a Start Menu Tab?
Thanks
Hello, Windows Forum!

The situation is I can't add any item to the "start list', which is the list on the left of the start icons.

Strange also, is that in my context menu...

A friend's computer appears to have Filemaker on it (much to our surprise) but it doesn't show in the list of programs in the start menu or in 'Uninstall programs. Why is this and how can I get it to do so? I have found the exe file and put an icon on the desktop.
Hi
I have some new issues with version 10240.
One is that many of the Apps either won't open or open and close immediately.
This isn't true of all of them but it is for Mail, People, Calendar and the Store.
All of these worked in the previous builds.

Hi
I was surprised that CCleaner popped up saying that I had a lot of material to remove since I had run it last night.
A quick check showed that I had a new "Windows.Old" folder.
I went to Windows update and sure enough version 10162 was ready to install.
I never realised that it created the...
