What percentage of your friends, family are computer savvy?
For me only about 50%... We all know that computers are not going away anytime soon. I have used a computer for 25 years. I know many people, younger and older who do not want to know anything about computers and I know an equal amount of people, younger and older who thrive on their smartphones and PCs. About 7 years ago my 80 year old neighbor made me realize that I need a tablet; if he could use it, I could certainly learn! I feel like the knowledge I have gained from the Windows Community has both enhanced my knowledge and created many new acquaintances as well! đ Hey Microsoft people, can you design a video to convince others how easy it is to operate a computers or smartphone?
Running School DVDs on Windows 10 Computers
I have a number of school lectures on DVDs that I need to play. I can run them on my Sony Blue-ray Player without any problems, but need another way to watch them too. I have several Windows 10 PCs (desktop PCs and a laptop), but have not been able to get them to run on these platforms. I have installed several highly rated DVD apps from the Microsoft Store, including the Windows DVD Player, but none of these will allow me to play the school DVDs. I have been wrestling with this problem for several days and have run out of places to look for solutions. Anybody?
Win. 10 disk cleanup: How to delete temporary files
hi all: I wonder why is it that when it gets to like the 7th or 8th day, especially day 7, going to Storage and Temporary Files, I noticed the temporary files is there. It doesn't happen from day 1 to day 6. I have to clean it up. But it still appears in disk cleanup. I actually delete temporary files from manually before going to Storage. I thought it could be a bug in Windows 10. Wondering under temporary files, why it will not state 0 bytes in disk cleanup. For mine, it will state 2.07 MB. For some of you, it might state GB. I searched online and found a way for the temporary files to state 0 bytes in disk cleanup. Here are the steps: reminder, the following steps involve registry and do not modify other things, as it might cause serious issues with your device. 1. Please type reg under search and it will show Registry editor. Please click on run as administrator. 2. Then, go to, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Temporary Files 3. In the right-pane, double-click LastAccess. 4. Set the value data for LastAccess to 10. That is what I did for mine. After you are finished and go back to Storage and Temporary Files or the disk cleanup, you will notice under temporary files, it will state 0 bytes. A reminder: Even though it might state like 2.07 MB under temporary files, but when you actually delete the files manually, it will have no affect at all. You don't lose disk space because of it. Hope this helps.
No Dark Mode File Explorer on Work PC
I am a huge fan of everything dark mode on my P.C. My personal has everything dark, even the file explorer folders. However, on my work P.C. that is not the case. I cannot make this setting dark. Is this because my system is administered by the organization?

Does the "Search" Tool Make Navigating Your Computer Easier?
I use the "Search" feature frequently, I'm a big fan. For years I've wanted a simple search bar on my computer that could find mostly anything I'm looking for. That little magnifying glass in the bottom left side of the task bar can locate the files, programs, settings, even websites that best match my search. I work at MSFT and I'm curious about your thoughts & feedback. Thank you in advance!
