What would you introduce for the next windows 10 update?
I was thinking about the swipe down functions for tablet mode to be changed, if there is a swipe down onto the middle, it instead can focus on resizing the apps on the side by side window. I would also like if windows allowed for recreating thumbnails on the file explorer or the settings app. obviously these are suggestions, but I really wonder what's your opinion, so I can steal credit đ
Microsoft Edge
It is intrusive and useless. Please tell me how to delete it from my PC.
Facing problem in setting up your Netgear AX 1800 Extender?
To set up Netgear AX 1800 through the Nighthawk app, follow these steps- 1. Download the app from your mobile play store or apple store if you are an Apple User. 2. Open the wifi settings & search for the Netgear_Ext. Connect your device to it. 3. Open the Nighthawk application now. 4. Now, you can move the extender to your new location and make sure that it is not more than halfway from the router with low signals. 5. Power on the extender and check if the connection between the extender and router is good or not. You can look at the router link LED for this. Move extender closer to router until the LED flashes white. 6. Now, reconnect your device to the new Extender. To set up your wifi range extender with WPS Method or Network Installation Assistant, check out this thread. https://mywifiextnet-com.com/netgear-ax-1800-setup/
Windows 101: How to manage and organize favorites in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft versus Chrome
I came across this analysis written by Lifewire concerning these two giants. The paragraphs below are just two that attracted my attention. 'Microsoft has decided to discontinue EdgeHTML and other core components of Microsoft Edge. Instead, the company plans to create a new version of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium. Microsoft is going to build Microsoft Edge on the foundations of Chrome, meaning that key elements like the rendering engine will be identical. What's likely to remain different are the connected services. For example, you may still sync your bookmarks with your Microsoft account instead of a Google account, and Bing will likely be the default search engine for Microsoft Edge. A common platform will make it easier for developers to create content and apps that are consistent across the major browsers'. Source: Lifewire - https://lifewire.com - February 2020 I fully anticipate that Edge' et al will have to evolve as users' demands for greater connectivity and dynamic use increases - perhaps exponentially. đ¤ Post script: I did not get on with Chrome - niggly things I suppose - but irritating as a user.
Would you prefer that the Windows be more consisent.I would
We all know that Windows 10 as an operating system is very inconsistent. For example, Windows 10 has 2 settings menus which mostly have the exact same things just duplicated. Also, if you scan all the dropdown menus in Windows 10, there are about four types, one of them being a fluent design type context menu-one that Microsoft should stick to, and the others literally being ripped out of Windows Vista and 7 and glued to Windows 10. In fact, one of the default apps in Windows 10, WordPad, as I've heard, are literally pulled out of Windows operating systems that are 20 years old! Hence I urge you all to voice out your opinions on this inconsistent Windows were Dark Mode is like half-baked pie. Share your experiences with the inconsistency. I hope it gets to Microsoft. Thank you!

The last update appears to kill my system.
Not complaining. I got it fixed by resetting pc back to default windows. Fresh install. The error was like cannot access boot drive. Just passing it along incase I'm not the only one.
Windows Photos blocking images after edit
Usually when downloading files from tze internet, Windows 10 will block them. This can be prevented if one would disable security by turning the Windows Defender completely off, which you do not want to do. It's all nice and fun until you move files from other devices to your PC, which i did from my phone via WiFi. Surprisingly no picture was blocked....until i used Photos app to edit a picture, after which i clicked on 'save copy'. Needless to mention, the most useful function in editing pictures is the 'clarity' , this does some amazing things with a picture. But now, after saving a copy i wanted to compare the original vs the new one, and so i opened the original picture and used mouse wheel to go to the next picture, and the new picture got skipped. I immediately checked the properties, bcoz windows apps may not open files if those are blocked. I am now wondering, how come the app designed to replace Photo Viewer, changes the files so that they are being recognized as a threat? Why did windows block a file changed by a windows app????? đ Of course the blocked picture opens, but then i can not toggle between pictures. Does someone care to try it out? *Edit* Blocked pictures may not be used for lock screen but can be used as a wallpaper.
Win 10 Pro mouse/keyboard issues
I recently purchased an i7 desktop, running Win 10 Pro. I've previously had/have several Win 10 machines, but not one with "Pro". I am having a problem with the mouse and keyboard. After the machine has been running for a while (a half hour or so) the mouse gets "jerky" and sometimes unresponsive to movement, or movement is delayed. Similarly the keyboard will slow down, or drop characters. Rebooting the machine clears the problem, and then it again slowly degrades over time. I have tried a selection of mice and keyboards, wired and wireless without improvement. The machine is quite capable, i7 chip, 16gig RAM, SSD drive, etc., and is not bogged down with background apps. Any ideas?
