Thanks for all the comments. Most of the screen shots that you included, I did not find when I was trying to conquer this beast and I've been into all the sections that y'all referenced. It does...
Hallelujah! I found the best answer that is working for me. Now I can stop wasting my valuable time with this idiotic POS (piece of software?). Hmm, never realized that fit before. :-)
Cut two...
After working on this for 17 hours yesterday, deleting and disabling everything, even things in the registry file, at 2am this morning I cut the back off an old steno book that I had laying around. ...
I'm very cautious when editing the registry. I make a backup copy if I just open it to look at something.
I tried the registry change that was suggested but it didn't work. Are you sure that was...
Question from a very non-techie person. I've tried everything shown in this post except adding the statement to the registry file. How do I do that? Or if I have to insert it, where do I that? ...
I have a Toshiba 64 bit laptop running Windows 10 Home Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413). I wanted to see if I could figure out how to disable Cortana (it's a memory hog and I NEVER use it) and...
You are so right about Cortana and Bing. Neither one is worth having.
You're right about cats too. They do make the best pets, with dogs being second, and men being third. No offense to any of...
I looked at the URL ( Cortana - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums) BEFORE I ever posted my question. I thought I said that, but maybe not. I have wasted so many hours of my life...
As I said in my original question, I found that solution on the internet but there is no Cortana icon on my Taskbar. So this won't work for me.
I have a Toshiba 64-bit laptop running Windows 10 Home.
Some time ago, I spent DAYS getting Cortana disabled and turned off on my laptop. And now after this last update, MS in it's infinite...
Here's an update to my above post. After clicking on the Task View button and the Icon title shadows re-appearing, I closed out of everything and turned the laptop off. I left it off a couple of...
I know exactly how aggravating this problem can be. It's too bad that Windows 10 is so inconsistent. It would seem that something so simple would have a simple solution that would work for...
Did this problem ever get resolved? I've tried the previous suggestions and nothing has been an acceptable solution. Does anyone have any other ideas? It's too bad there wasn't an in depth user's...
I solved this problem. At least it works on my PC. YMMV. I would never claim anything works, I can only say it worked for me. Here's what I did.
Open the Control Panel
Then click on System...
I made the change to Adjust for Best Performance. And Hallelujah, no more shadows under the icon titles. But now I know why they put in the shadows. The titles are in white and don't show up on a...
When I typed gpedit.msc it takes me to the internet and everything I find there says it does not exist on Windows 10 Home which is what I have. If these were settings that I would have made, since I...
I looked in Settings and Control Panel and in the Registry and did not find anything that looked like what is showing in your screen print. Instructions on where to find that and what I'm looking...
Based on previous research I had already done Options 1 and 3. I was in a hurry because my electricity was off and I was trying to finish before my battery died and I didn't see Option 2.
The...
I wish it was that simple. I tried that at least two weeks ago and there was no change. In fact, there are three items there that mention shadows and I uncheck all of them, just in case. Nope, no...
I was so pleased to see your suggestion as with all my searching I had not seen this suggestion before. I opened Regedit and this entry was already set to zero. So, I set it to 1, rebooted, but no...
Please do not refer me to System/Advanced/Visual settings. I've removed every check mark in there referring to shadows and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has changed. These shadows are making me go blind. I...
