I came across this looking for a solution. All the top hits say the same thing. Go to the lock screen settings and turn the weather app on. I've turned it off and on almost a dozen times.

I ended...

Shawn, buddy!
I know you can help me. I do not have that last box. Instead I have a box that says "Stay Secure with Windows 10". No "more" options anywhere. All the directions I read say to click on...

It's not just you. 1803 changed something.

Thanks. I may mark this for later use, but right now these are my little obsessive one-time tweaks after imaging a PC to make my life a little easier.

Nope. Still need to logoff once.

At least I know I can run my script and it doesn't totally mess the PC up permanently.

I'll keep researching as I get time. At least I know I can narrow it down...

I think I figured out the issue. It wasn't any of the registry keys, but when I'm done, I kill explorer.exe and then restart it. To confirm, I ran:

TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe
TIMEOUT /T 3...

I should clarify. The manual part of option one, not the command line. When I click on Desktop Icons, I get that error.

It's nothing critical. Upon further research, once you log out and back in...

Shawn, I've been using some of your registry settings on Add or Remove Default Desktop Icons in Windows 10 Customization Tutorials for both the default user and the current user and it has been...

That's fair enough.

Thanks, so installing the unused Windows 7 licenses on a Virtual PC/VMWare/etc. and upgrading would not really do me any good. :(

At least I know how the system works. I know in the past when I've...

Thanks, so does that mean they have some kind of database that has our HAL information and to check with for future reloads? How else would they know it was ok?

Two questions:
1) What happens when I reload my Windows 8 PC after the free upgrade expires?
I have a Dell desktop that came with Windows 8 (or 8.1?) home. I did the Win 10 upgrade and then used my...

Thanks. It's the DCIM camera folder and comes up like a music folder (the details columns are music related). At least it did on my phone and then I changed the items showing under detail view,...

Excluding the bat files, since I don't want to do all my folders, any idea how to do this when browsing an Android device via USB??
