Honestly whoever came up with this idea needs to go rethink life choices. These automatic updates are infuriating for people who can't get decent internet in their area. I've tried all I can to turn these bastards off, but it just refuses to stop. I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out if I see...

Whenever I boot up or restart my PC, it'll always start on the next screen (which is bank) instead of the screen with all my icons and links. How do I make this screen the default?

Until recently I had in my notebook a battery. I removed it due to defects and don't want to buy a new one. Unfortunately the boot process slows down dramatically. It now takes approx. 5-10 minutes until Windows 7 shows the Login screen. I guess its because the hardware related detection parts...

Is there an application to remove settings (Or stop it from opening) and give all the settings back to Control Panel? Because I always used Control Panel back when I used Windows 7. Now I'm on Windows 10 and trying to make it look like Windows 7 but this 1 problem is kinda stopping me. Also...

I've done my research, with absolutely no results. I've gone page to page, searching for answers, and I've come across nothing. Every solution is already applied to me, but the problem still persists. I seem to have lost association to all .iso's. Every one I have (20+) and any that I download...

I really didn't expect this. I had a 3tb drive that was partitioned into two smaller drives. I decided to dump both and bring the drive back into a full drive, obviously losing one drive letter. The problem now, is I neglected to delete all the quick access shortcuts. I use these quite a bit...
