Hi,
I use Apple AirPods between my desktop, laptop and mobile. Due to recent times and increases in video conferencing I'm now frequently switching between each audio source. .
Sometimes I...

Very interesting to hear, thank you NavyLCDR

Last questions regarding difference between the SATA types. Before I realised the 512gb was SATA II, I had intended to install...
I didn't try listening when I first put in the caddy, the caddy light came on. I don't want to put it back in the caddy as it may be a SATA II caddy like the SATA II 512gb drive.
When it was in...
I cannot see drive in the BIOS. It uses a UEFI BIOS utility version 2.17.1246.
Windows says the BIOS Version/Date is American Megatrends Inc, 5220, 12/09/2019
Clearly the BIOS is not that old,...
Hi,
I bought an additional used 2.5" HDD (1TB Toshiba MQ02ABF100) for my desktop which has an ASUS Motherboard ROG Strix B350-I Gaming.
Since I already had an external 2.5" drive (512gb Western...
@TairikuOkami Great solution, thank you.
With Excel it shows recent files despite my preferences not to show recents. And if I manually remove recents, they show up again!
I found this web page...
hi dalchina, I'm open to non microsoft if it comes from a reputable source (e.g. a known brand). As an example I'd use SysInternals long before they became MS owned. But I don't know how to assess a...
@dalchina, Try3, good idea thanks. I already use the additional toolbar for app shortcuts and it's great.... but.. it's a slight fiddle in that compared to other taskbar icons the >> is a very small...
hi,
While I have hundreds of documents on my pc, I'm typically working with around 20 documents. These 20 docs are sensibly ordered [scattered] across different folders, some local and some in the...
@Berton Bree
Thank you both for these ideas. I'd forgotten about both the additional toolbars & the quick launch methods. I've had a quick play with the new toolbar (which I think effectively is...
Great, thank you for the suggestion HeM, I will take a further look
hi, thanks for the suggestion. I understand how to move the taskbar - I want a SECOND taskbar, which I know doesn't come by default. I'm asking as I wonder if other people have found methods to...
hi,
I'm aware W10 has one taskbar, which is most usually found at the bottom of the screen.
I like to have lots of Apps & Docs open concurrently. At the time of writing I have 20 open. The...
thanks for the comments. Yes the laptop does do some travel, so perhaps it's worth continuing with a bios boot password.
Brilliant, thank you Edwin :-)
Hi
I have several batch files which I've created shortcuts for, and added to my windows taskbar.
I now have a new batch file which contains some powershell which instructs pc to switch off...
Hello,
I've used a bios bootup password on my old laptop for many years. I've just got a 2018 Lenovo X1 Carbon which currently does not have a bios boot password. With changes in technology (my...
thank you very much for the suggestion. the link had some good ideas and lead me to do further investigation on the Pomodoro method - which, had I found an app I liked would be great. From that...
Hi
Sometimes I get carried away with my PC activity, and forget to take breaks as often as I know would be good for me. I'm pretty sure there is nothing built in to Win 10 that can do this?? but I...
Great suggestion (I looked up 1903 and it apparently addresses this). My windows says it's up-to-date, but it's not at 1903. Could that be a regional staged deployment?? I'm in the UK
thanks f14tomcat, I never allow,- somehow this one must've slipped through. I'll just block tobydeals. Cheers
Brilliant, I believe you nailed it. It had Allow notifications on tobydeals. I changed back to Block. Perhaps I inadvertently allowed when I visited the site.
While it was helpful, I'm now...
Cheers Kari. I wasn't familiar with these notification settings. I've disabled notifications from Chrome, seems slight overkill ban on all of Chrome (though I'm not sure what notifications I'll...
