Brightness Slider in Action Centre.
I believe the Brightness Slider on the Action center should be on the top of the all the other icons (app tiles). Instead of clicking on Expand all the time to get to the brightness slider - it will be better Customer experience if it is on the top.
Windows Community
Is there a way to make a shortcut for this Community's home page or my home page to this community and have it on my laptop. I would prefer to make the shortcut on my Laptop as opposed to an app on my phone. Would be nice to simply click an icon or even have the icon show messages as does the Skype icon...
Have lost audio from the internet after Windows updates
Am now on version 20H2. After installing the previous large update - sorry, forgot the number - all audio from the internet no longer works. Have tried troubleshooting, reinstalling drivers, etc. but nothing helps. If I start something on the internet with sound, for example YouTube Music, on the Sound Settings page you can see the Master Volume slider reacting, so audio is reaching the computer. When running a music app on the computer, audio is working correctly. My system is a Dell desktop with a VS248 NVIDIA High Definition Audio board.
How to disable the appearance "open file" dialog
I am running some automation process of deploying image and automate download using vbs scipting. Things work find in Windows 7 but when it comes to windows 10, the automated process (from VBS script) was being halted by the dialog/windows box "how do you want to open files" with the checkbox "always use this app to open .vbs files". As the image having visual studio 2005 installed, the windows keep pop up asking whether choose Windows based script host to run, or using visual studio to run. I've tried several method to inject and set windows based script as default program to run vbs script, but the windows of asking which program to run still appearing. Here's what I have done: 1. set value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.vbs\OpenWithList result : windows/dialog box still appear Is there any other registry value which represent the checkbox value of "always use this app to open .vbs files"? Or in short, I want to inject the registry value to set Windows base script host as default program to run vbs script and eliminate the appearance of the dialog box, so that it won't affect my automated process.

Notepad restore
So, I had turned my laptop on, and i guess it rebooted or something. So when i opened my laptop once again it seems that my unfinished notepad notes seem to be nowhere to be seen. Could there be a way that i could restore those notes through something like app data. Or are they not going to come back any time soon.
Windows media player deletes files
Hello Team, I have updated my machine into W10 20H2 with all the updates. I have few issues with WMP. 1. WMP adds any physical drives into it's sync list but in the included media folder list these physical drives are not listed. It has only the default user's media folder entry. The problem is, I can't exclude my other drives as it automatically scans them and added to the library. 2. When I tried to delete the library, it started deleting the physical files even though this option was disabled in the menu. I lost some important files and I have no backup either. 3. This behavior was not there in 1909, as it simply flushes the library without destroying physical files. 4. I have uninstalled WMP due to this dangerous yet strange behavior and the removel process too did not remove the WMP files from the app Directory of which I had to remove them manually. No clue of what has happened but appreciate if someone can explain this. WMP resetting did not work either. There's no option within the player to reset to defaults. Thank you in advance. CA
Browser issue
I have just recently noticed that on both of my laptops when I open them up and do a search Yahoo has replaced my Edge browser. My two laptops aren't on a network and I haven't had any suspicious emails etc This seems to have occurred shortly after I have installed downloads from Microsoft. Is there a connection, and more importantly, how can I remove Yahoo and return to Edge.
