Hiding a file
To hide a file: 1. Go to a folder that has a file in File Explorer. 2. Double-click a file while holding down ALT. 3. Click to check the Hidden box, and then click OK. Note: You won't be able to see a file if you go to the same folder in File Explorer. However, you can go to File Explorer Options, and then click Show hidden files, folders, and drives on the View tab.
Improvement requests for sticky notes
1. Unfortunately I have no access to the sticky notes via the OneNote Android app (only on the tablet). 2. A labeling option (for follow-up) with a reminder and a link to ToDo (as with emails) would be great. 3. and a possibility to use the categories from Outlook would of course also be very desirable.
can't see albums in the MS Photos App
I use the Microsoft Photos app from the store a great deal. I have lost the ability to see my albums in the photos app. They are in the web OneDrive and prior to last week they appeared when I wanted to see "all" in the photos app. This enables the user to add photos to albums and then have it uploaded to OneDrive. I'm of the opinion that installing a Windows 10 S0H2 update, KB5001330 may have caused this problem, when I installed it on 4/14/2021. At the same time I've lost the ability to see photo albums in the Desktop OneDrive app. I know the photos app is closely integrated with OneDrive and I suspect something has caused the two apps to not be in sync. Are others who use these apps experiencing the same problems? Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to get the photos app and the Desktop OneDrive app working properly? Ken84
Widows Update 2004 Problems 3 months OEM support+ no help
Problems with updating my Yoga C940-14IIL (Lenovo) from 1909 to 2004. Officially Lenovo premium support claims there should be no problems on there end for my device. Not driver related software etc. But i'm still stuck on the not device not ready screen. I Also tried to force the update like they instructed. Without being rude in my opinion there premium support is tier 1.5 at best. The conversation basically is them approving my suggestions or providing ridiculous extra information to them. Basically telling me which button i should click or explaining something in English i provided them by sending a screenshot etc. For example i ran the Intel driver support assistent and pointed out Intel has newer graphic wifi and Bluetooth drivers than the ones they provided. Asking if that might solve the issue but i pointed out Intel recommends OEM drivers not generic ones (It's in the screenshot). They replied its worth trying and that the lines i pointed out mean they are not officially tested. I'm thinking this is a bad joke or something i pointed it out and informed them and they reply with "might work and explain te words in a sentence i provided them" This is just one example out of dozens. Half of the suggestions or questions i made mentioned on the 2004 Official known issues/problems page (provided screenshots) they didn't understand i think. I attached the screenshot and even underlined the sentences i send them. Basically they told me to do the windows clean start or start over thing by holding a reset button (whatever it's called) . It's a brand new device with almost no software except for a single licensed office 2019 professional plus (not linked to a account) and mapped in my fairly complex new "secure"network and has things like SMB shares configured with my Linux and FreeBSD servers etc. It's also a wifi only device so it's on my IOT Vlan so it's a pain in the ... to setup again. Advice or answers would be appreciated before i do a clean install.
How do you take screenshots?
Did you know with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, you can set the PrtScn button on your keyboard to open the Snip & Sketch app? I find this to be the fastest way to take and share a screenshot. How do you take your screenshots? -Joe, Services Advisor at Microsoft

Printer Issues
When printing out emails, they are printing out in very small print. In the preview window, they are normal. Anyone have a fix? This just started in the last week. Thank you.
Ways to Export Certain Registry Keys to the .REG File
WARNING: Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) is a very powerful tool that lets you directly modify the registry. However, incorrectly using Registry Editor can cause serious, system-wide problems including a hard disk corruption, general instability, or the inability to use your computer. It may be necessary for you to reinstall your operating system to correct these problems. Microsoft does not support modifying the registry. Use this tool at your own risk. You can export certain registry keys to the .REG file. The .REG file can be opened for editing by right-clicking it and clicking Edit. Method 1: Registry Editor ---------------------------- 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + R. 2. Type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER. 3. Navigate to the following keys. For example, you could navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Fax. 4. On the File menu, click Export. 5. Type the name and click Save. 6. Close Registry Editor. Method 2: The REG Command ---------------------------------- 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + R. 2. Type "cmd" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER. 3. Type "reg export key1\key2 [drive:][path]filename.reg" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER. For example, you could type "reg export hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\dwm c:\data\dwm.reg" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
All Detected Networks Stuck on Connect Automatically
Several days ago I got a new router from Xfinity (Arris TG1782g). My brother noticed immediately on his laptop (running Win 7) that when he clicks the Internet Access icon in the Task Bar, every single detected network in the area has Connect Automatically checked. We live in a densely populated city and there are a LOT of detected networks. I noticed a few moments ago that my PC running Win 10 Pro also has very single Connect Automatically box checked. Most are secured networks but some are not. I can uncheck them all but they revert back to checked immediately. There is no option to 'forget' any of the networks listed and I can't find a setting to uncheck or remove them. I also cannot find a user manual anywhere online for the new router, nor can I find anything in the router's settings that covers my issue. I do not have this issue with my Apple and Android devices. It's only Windows.
engineers responding to feedback
hi there: This is more of a suggestion. In the feedback hub, when I sent out a feedback, there is 1 or 0 upvote without any official response. I know that it is difficult for the engineers to actually respond to individual feedback, but all feedback is important, regardless of how many upvotes received. Even if only 1 upvote received, the feedback can make a big difference in Windows 10. I wish that there is a feature in the feedback hub where an engineer can respond and ask, why did you submit that feedback or why are you facing that issue or why do you want a certain change.
