create more videos from the Windows teams
Since we are in Windows 10 20H2, it will be cool if the Windows teams can create videos that is suitable for Windows 10 20H2. I know Cortana has been out in the previous versions and not new to 20H2, but create a video on how to use Cortana. Some might know how to use it but can give us all the features of it and tips, etc. Even create a video on the new start menu. Why the team changed the look of it, etc.

Update KB4571756 problems
the 9th september i shut down with an update and the 10th the PC didn't start. I had to use an external startup to install a backup from the 28th august operating system. So it was running again it starts with automatic updates. I restarted several times to update but after multiple times i figured out the last update KB4571756 will not install but keeps returning each time in the update menu. Don't know where to report this by Microsoft. Maybe more users have the same issue ?

Tips of the day: Getting your work done
To start a program, click Start, type the name of a program, and then click a program in a list of results. The underlined letters in menus indicate a keyboard shortcut method to select the item. Just press ALT and the underlined letter. You can minimise all open windows at once; just press WINDOWS LOGO + D. You can use your right mouse button to drag files. Try it and see what happens! To select more than one file or folder, hold down CTRL while you click each item. Deleted files and folders are saved in the Recycle Bin until you empty it. To open a document quickly, you can double-click its icon. If you work on a laptop away from your computer at the office, you can easily keep documents up-to-date on both machines by using OneDrive. You can use long filenames when you save documents. You can even use spaces! You can manage applications that are currently running by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and clicking Processes. The Shut Down command on the Start menu enables you to safely shut your computer down. You can minimise neck strain by positioning your monitor at eye level. When you type, keep your wrists elevated or use a wrist-pad to minimise strain. Even if you don't shut your computer down at night, you can turn your monitor off to save power.
New System Tray Icon?
Booted up here a minute ago and noticed a new system tray icon I hadn't noticed before. It's the OneNote icon, and it says New Quick Note. Probably been there for a while and I just never noticed it before. I can use that instead of open sticky notes from the start menu I think!
Pinning Websites
I'm sure some of you may have noticed, while others may have not, but you can no longer pin websites to the start screen, even by pinning it to your taskbar and dragging to your start screen, it can no longer be done. I've been aware of this, and have working around it, but after this last update....... ok, well we'll leave it at that... I was chatting with Microsoft Tech support this afternoon, and after I finally got them to try and pin a web site to their start screen, they admitted they couldn't do it either. Funny though they had a work around? So here's the work around, and it involve Google Chrome! Open the website you want to pin to your Windows 10 Start Screen in Google Chrome. Yea, you read that right! Once your website is open, click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down until you sees More Tools. Hover over that and choose Create Shortcut... a pop up will appear where you name your shortcut, and here is where it gets important! You need to check the box that says Open as Window, then click create. Now go back to your start screen and under recently added apps you will see your recently added website. There is one last step. With it there you will not be able to move it around. So while it is in the Recently Added Apps right click and choose Pin to Start Menu. Voila! You're done, and your websites are now back on your start screen. Let's do hope that the boys and girls in Redmond fix this!
