Ghot Thanks for the quick reply. The connector looks fine, and the cable is a standard one, no bulge. Haven't touched the monitor settings for years, so it's unlikely to be that. Also, I'm not sure...

Ghot Thanks for the quick reply. The connector looks fine, and the cable is a standard one, no bulge. Haven't touched the monitor settings for years, so it's unlikely to be that. Also, I'm not sure...
Ghot Right, finally got the time to move monitors around, and it seems to be the monitor. Plugging it in to a different port on the same card didn't make any difference. The same monitor is...
Good idea. I'll give that a go and see what happens.

I don't remember where the cable came from, but it's been working for quite a long time. However, I guess cables can...

I have four monitors connected to my Nvidia NVS 510 adaptor. One of them is a Dell U2311H, which has started flickering...
Ah, didn't know about that trick! You're right, it just hadn't updated yet.
Thanks
@KeithM, thanks for the suggestion. Not sure why, but this only seems to work when I look in C:\Users\Me, whereas if I go directly to the user icon in the left panel in File Explorer, the icon isn't...
Ah, shows how much I know about junctions then doesn't it!
Which leaves me with the choice of having a bland icon and a shortcut arrow on my Downloads folder, or going back to where I was before...
Any idea why Downloads shows a shortcut arrow at all? Is that because it's a junction? I thought the idea of those was that the file system saw it as a real folder, not a shortcut.
I still don't...
Thanks, I know they are cosmetic. What I meant was, is there a way to get my custom icon showing and remove the shortcut arrow? Apart from the aesthetic appeal of choosing my own icons, it makes it...
Well, so far so good, no duplicate folder.
However, there is one small niggle, well, two actually...
1) I can't set an icon for the Downloads folder. With Music and Pictures, all I did was use...
Yeah, I think that's what I did, but explained much more clearly!
Thanks again. As I said, I'll leave it a day or two to convince myself it's worked.
Trouble with that idea is that they default to the last folder chosen, not the Downloads folder.
I set the location of C:\Users\user\Downloads back to the default, so looking at C:\Users\user in...
MaloK Thanks for the reply. Took most of the night to copy the files, and had to skip a few due to long file names (which I don't understand, as the two paths have exactly the same length), so I'm a...
Maybe I misunderstood, but Downloads2 is the original Downloads folder that Windows created when it was installed, and which I then changed the location to point to D:\Downloads. Today I renamed it...
Just tried this and am a bit confused.
When I installed Windows, I used the Location tab of the Downloads folder's properties to change the location to D:\Downloads.
If I am to create a...
Ghot, as you can see from my reply just now, I don't think it's the HDD at all.
Having said that, when I went into the CrystalDiskInfo folder, it also paused for a few seconds. However, that could...
Hello, thanks for the quick reply.
The only thing is, it's not just the first time I access the drive. For example, I just went into a folder, and after it hard shown me the files, went back...
Windows 10 Pro - version 10.0.19043 Build 19043
I have a 1Tb Western Digital HDD attached to my PC as a second drive. Recently, I have noticed that the PC will go inactive for a few seconds. I can...
Do you know, I don't think I even thought about searching content. I guess it depends on what kind of use you make of your PC, but it's not something I've ever really needed. I can see the power if...
One of the first things I do when installing Win10 is revert back to the old photo viewer. Was quick and simple, and didn't attempt to take over my PC.
I hardly ever use it. I sometimes search...
Ah, good point. What I meant was that I disable things like Media Player's, erm, "helpful" feature whereby it scans by entire PC looking for any media files and indexing them all. I don't need (or...
KeithM Yup, got both of those and set correctly.
@dalchina Interesting suggestion. I relocated them mainly because it keeps my user folder neater, rather than having two downloads folders. I don't...
OK, thanks
Thanks to all of you for the replies.
MaloK Do I just delete the Downloads folder (that is currently pointing to my second drive) and replace it with a hard lin named Downloads, or is there...
Windows 10 Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1415) 64-bit
When I installed Windows 10, I moved the Downloads, Music and Pictures folders to a second drive. I did this using the Location tab of the...
