My son changed something on my Windows PC and now the image on my desktop changes every minute. It’s maddening! How can I change the speed or frequency of my Win10 desktop wallpaper image changing back so I can relax again??
I’m a secretary at a local college and constantly bump into Web pages I want to read. But I can’t at work. Is there a way to set up reminders to check out these pages after hours? Running Windows 10, if that matters.
Of all the dumb things that Windows 10 does, asking me to confirm that I want to empty the recycle bin has to be near the top. I am choosing “Empty Recycle Bin” from a menu: why does it need confirmation?!? Can I disable this feature, Dave?
I might be the only person, but I actually grew to like the Windows 10 start screen and prefer it to the clumsy start menu now in Win10. Can I switch back on my PC?
I’m coming from a Linux environment at school and am finding that WIndows 10 is missing lots of features. My biggest pet peeve: Virtual desktops. Is there a way to get virtual screens working on a Windows PC?
My friend was showing me Windows 10 “timeline” as a way to explore what you’ve been doing the previous few days. Cool! How can I get started with Win10 Timeline?
I work with a lot of USB flash drives on my Windows computer, but recently read that Windows deliberately slows them down so I can pull them out of the computer without ejecting them. What? Is that true? How can I get better performance, if so?
I get a lot of contracts and forms via email and to sign them I print them from my PC, sign, scan and email the resultant PDF image. Clumsy. Is there a way I can sign PDF forms and documents without printing them?
