Just repeated that with several examples and I think you are absolutely right!
I hadn't spotted that! Thanks for making me aware!

On my previous system (also a Windows 10 laptop) when I right-clicked a file and picked "Scan with Windows Defender" then immediately THAT file or folder was scanned and the results shown. No further...
For the benefit of anyone stumbling over this thread:
THIS finally did the trick for me:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftAccount]
"DisableUserAuth"=dword:00000000
On my business laptop (Windows 10 Enterprise / 20H2) we are using Office 365. One of the applications is OneNote which I also use on my mobile using a private Microsoft account. With that I often...
What I meant to say with "that's not explorer" is that I *do* see programs that cause disk activity like e.g. SearchIndexer but Explorer is not among the top users during such phases.
No - no disk activity. And my system has an SSD, so no defragmentation, either.
- - - Updated - - -
If the goal were to reduce system load and background activities in general I would see...
Well, the subject says it already. I again and again witness that my tablet (Surface Pro 7) gets very hot, even though I am only browsing or reading a PDF. When I then check the CPU-load with...
trunkmonkey Interesting catch! Thanks for reporting this!
I don't have any Logitech SW installed, though, so I don't think that they were the reason here. But I'll have an eye on possible similar...
My first OS that provided pen supportwas "Windows for Pen computing" back in 1995!
Since then I am sold on this idea but I found no OS, yet, that really, handles this decently such that one could...
I have a very odd "phenomenon" or with one of my Windows 10 boxes:
All desktop icons (except Explorer-related icons, i.e. drives, folders, etc.) do *not* react onto objects that are being dragged...
Nevermind - after having located the page Install Win32 OpenSSH . PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH Wiki . GitHub I removed that Windows built-in stuff again, removed all content from...
For a project I need SSH (both the client as well as the server) on my local machine. So I did an "add optional feature", picked the SSH client as well as the SSH server and installed both. The...
I lately switched to PowerShell as my CLI and like it. What I don't understand, though, is, why not all keyboard shortcuts work as one would expect.
E.g. if I open the upper-left corner menu and...
Not really. From what I understand this refers to meetings and meeting descriptions (updates) that contain Skype invitations. But - while I do have Skype installed and am also using it - this often...
I again and again have the infuriating experience that I start composing an email and when I finally hit the send button then I get the subject error message.
Of course it has been changed! I just...
Ggrrrr! This is such an infuriating bug in Windows!
Frequently switching between a big external monitor and the small laptop screen I regularly run into the situation that an application opens its...
Thanks - I did.
Ztruker I like your signature line! :-)
When using my pen as input device I often run into situations where the character recognition is one character off. When that happens this beast often turns into a nightmare! Correcting a single...
Ah - that might explain why it didn't work for me in the first attempt. But why would a browser "obey" such non-sense and limit a user by honoring such a restriction.
Seems similar to some sites,...
Very strange! When I just double checked again it indeed worked for me, too. Yesterday evening I had tried multiple times and it had *not* worked. Odd!
Thanks for responding!
I installed the new Edge beta and like it a lot. The time and screen real-estate savings due to its anti-tracking features are extremely welcome!
But one feature is again lacking (as initially...
I find it unspeakably maddening that MS occasionally fiddles with basic UI settings and pesters users with "features" they never asked for! E.g. this "dark theme" that pops up everywhere is about as...
Sure! Windows Defender
But meanwhile I ran the 1909 feature update and since then things are back to normal, i.e. the former list is displayed again (so they must have survived somewhere -...
Since I am a developer I want to exclude a couple of directories from constant virus scanning, not only because I know the code being in there but also because occasionally the scanning seems to lock...
l regularly have situations where my Windows 10 system (MS - Surface Pro) behaves extremely sluggish or gets completely non-responsive. When I then fire up task manager I often see 40%, 50%, up to...
