Thanks for the replies, but I think I may be out of luck here. As suggested I looked in Notifications and actions, but the 2 boxes you highlighted are already ticked, so it looks like that is why I...

Win 10 Home Ver 2004 Build 19041.685

I successfully installed the December updates on 9 December. Today, for an unrelated reason, I happened to log out. When I logged back in I had to go...

Thanks for the reply. However, the device has now fallen into two parts so I think I'll abandon the search!

I have Win 10 x64 Home Ver 1903.

I have come across a Signalex Bluetooth USB Dongle that I bought from Poundland a fair number of years ago. The only thing in the package is the dongle and the...

It all seems very strange. I think I'll persevere with Post-It notes which seems to be behaving itself at the moment.

Thanks for the reply.

The thing is that I've found a few YouTube videos that show changing text colour in WordPad etc, then successfully pasting into Sticky Notes. And to rub salt into the...

I am looking at the MS Sticky Notes app as a replacement for 3M Post-It Notes app which is giving me trouble at the moment.

What I would like to do in Sticky Notes is to change the colour of...

A rather belated thanks for the reply. I've downloaded and installed FireTray and it seems to be doing the job.

For anyone else who wishes to try it here are a few details that are not given in...

Thanks, I think that sorts it. I've got Macrium and I don't think I'd do anything that has the potential to lock me out without a backup.

Thanks for the replies. The 'sign in automatically' option looks useful as it's the hassle of signing in that I wish to avoid. Just one question, do I have to create a password before I can select...

I have Win10 64bit Home Edition.

I was following your tutorial for using Task Scheduler to provide automatic scheduling for System Restore. When I reached the final stage it failed. The error...

Many thanks for the replies. However, the problem now seems to have sorted itself out.

Following on from discovering the problem on 12 November I changed the time between saving copies and a check...

I've done a quick search on the forum and can't find any reference to this topic.

I used File History today and discovered that there were no entries beyond 5 November, which happens to be the day...

I have Win 10 Home x64.

I cannot run programs to start minimized. Specifically, I cannot get Thunderbird and Calibre to do this.

At the moment I have these 2 programs as shortcuts on the...

Thanks for the link. As far as I can see, broken shortcuts are exactly my problem. I shall browse through the programs in your link.

I've got a folder containing my ebooks. Although the books are grouped in author sub-folders it is still proving too cumbersome, so I have now grouped these author sub-folders in a number of...

So there is! Thinking back to Win 7, I'm now not sure whether I was always sharing folders, not individual files. Unfortunately it's too late to check. Anyway, many thanks - there's no reason not to...

I have Win 10 Home 64 bit.

In my Win 7 there used to be a Share tab in file properties. In my Win 10 this tab is missing in properties. Any help in recovering it would be appreciated.

As...

Thanks. I shall try it out.

However, do you know why the method I tried did not work. It all seems quite plausible. The task schedule is provided by Microsoft and comes as part of the standard...

I am trying to set up a daily schedule of System Restores using the method described in the post...

Thanks for the reply. I think I've sussed it out now. What I needed to do was to drag items from the Start list into the group.

I can move items from the Start list to produce tiles and I can enter names in the name bars but I am finding it impossible to group tiles. One of the tutorials seems to suggest that all you need to...

I installed the free Win 10 upgrade and subsequently reverted to Windows 7 using a Macrium clone of Win 7 that I had made. Whilst in Win 10 I checked that the copy had been activated. As I understand...

Has anyone any experience of upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 570? I've visited the Dell site and it is not on the list of Dell computers that have been tested; in fact it...

Thanks for the replies.

Firstly, it's now clear to me that my cunning plan to download now and upgrade at my leisure would be a complete failure. So, I need to bite the bullet and make a decision...
