Drivers :: Screen Displaying Off Center - Black Strip On The Left Hand Side

Feb 18, 2016

My Screen is displaying off center to the right just a little. I only found one other mention of this on another forum with no solution. There is a black strip on the left hand side of my screen. The other post was on a MS forum they theorized it had to do with the Intel HD device driver. I did not have this problem with Windows7. Hope the graphic card I have coming will fix this.

Left Hand Side Start Menu True Customization?

Oct 6, 2015

Back in the good old days of W7, you could pin an application to the start menu and it would appear on the left hand side and it would also offer a list of recently opened things within that application as a right arrow for ease of selection.

For example, within putty I have 2 saved sessions, when I pinned putty to the start menu in W7, it would pin the main program, but a right-arrow would accompany it and let me easily select Saved Session 1 or Saved Session 2 without having to launch putty manually. Similarly for something like notepad, you could pin that and it would come with an arrow and let you open your most recent opened documents without having to open notepad first and then selecting your text file. See attached W7 example png.

The W10 start menu does not let you do this at all. I can pin programs to the pig awful tiles section but critically it does not provide me with an easy method of selecting something within an app to launch via that app without launching that app first. It must be capable of doing something like it because the default File Explorer menu has the arrow and selection box.

The hack I can come up with is somehow manually editing my MRU list but is it easier than that? Is there reasonably well built in method for doing simple customisations to the W10 start menu! And if not, tell me how I can manually edit my MRU even though it throws the whole concept of recently used out the window if I'm just going to add stuff to it that I want.

Well with windows 10 and all of it's new and in a lot of cases annoying features is the new start menu layout where the important part of the start menu is thin as hell and the right side is unimportant.

Pinning Items To Left Side Of Start Menu?

Nov 13, 2015

....referring to the huge blank space Microsoft has provided on the left side of the start menu below the "most used" programs and above the folders selected in the Personalization/Start settings.

Is this not customizable? Or any workaround for this besides a third party program?

Every tutorial I could find on the internet indicates I should get a "Pin to Start Menu" when I drag a shortcut directly onto the Start button. But all I get is a "Link" icon. And when I drop the shortcut, it goes into oblivion.

Customization :: Semi Pin To Left Side Of Start Menu Achieved

Sep 16, 2015

1) Browse to C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu Places
2) Rename one of the existing folders there to what folder you want it to be
3) Right-click > Properties to said folder and set new destination folder address
4) Go to Settings App > Personalization > Start > Choose Which Folders Appear on Start
5) Select Original Folder Name (i.e. Pictures) that you corresponded to new location

Result will be:

How to add new titles to the settings app screen, we can do this without replacing the original folders... will test with a .exe file and post results shortly.

.exe files do work:

This will allow for 9 (because settings isn't possible to change) programs/folders to be pinned to the left pane of the start menu. I am working on figuring out how to modify the icons....

Drivers/Hardware :: Left Screen Turns Off 2 Mins After Boot Once Every Day

Jan 27, 2016

Recently I have wired to screens up as dual screens, they were working fine at day 1 but after the left screen (main monitor) has started turning itself off completely.

As soon as I boot, the screen goes black and I am greeted with the screen startup logo, then "no signal detected" Windows will only pick up the one screen (right monitor) until I restart the screen from the plug. My main monitor is connected via HDMI from the GPU into the screen, and the other DVI to HDMI adapter, again from the GPU, The weird thing is no matter what I try, it will always be the left screen, I have tried:

Swapping the screen over with another
Changing plug sockets,
System Refresh
Swapping screen power supplies
installing drivers
swapping HDMI cables

I can only assume it's something to do with Windows, but what is it?

Drivers/Hardware :: Screen Brightness Different On Left And Right Sides Of Display

Aug 17, 2015

I just updated my display driver to the latest from Nvidia. Now the left half of the display is darker than the right half. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, but the problem remains.

The driver is Nvidia 355.60 WHQL , and yes my display card in on the list of supported cards. This is the driver for Windows 10 64 bit and my Nvidia GTS 450.

I have never seen this issue before and I don't know if it is Windows 10 or the Nvidia driver causing the problem.

Desktop Icons Stuck On Left Side And Explorer View Stuck On Details

Sep 28, 2015

All my desktop icons are stuck on the left side of the desktopAll file explorer view are stuck in details view. Now yes, I have turned off Auto-arrange, still refreshes to all icons on left. I have tired ALL sorts combinations of view + sort by... nothing. I have tired many anti-malware/virus scans and nothing has come up. I have tired CCleaner pretty much everything and the problem persists.

Of note, I had done a system restore a week and half ago to a specific point and that fixed the problem but for just a day, then it happened again. When I got around to having time to go for another system restore, that restore point was gone and now no other restore point is fixing the issue -_-That left me to think it might be something I installed or perhaps a windows update... but after having uninstalled pretty much everything I could that I installed in the last week as well as removing recent updates.... nothing. I have also tried making a new windows account (local)... nothing. Also tried in safe mode, still nothing.

Customization :: Customize Left Side Of Start Menu - Pin To Start List?

Aug 5, 2015

I wanted to add some programs to the top of the left side of the start menu (free space on the screenshoot). I have read about the "Pin to Start List" if you rightclick while holding shift. But this seems not to be working anymore!?!?! Is there another possibility to customize this list or to re-add the function? I don't want to use "recently added apps" or something like that ...

Performance :: Unable To Tile Two Explorer Windows Side By Side

Oct 2, 2015

With windows 7 it was so easy, when I had two windows open, be it word, a browser or windows explorer to chose show windows side by side......they seemed to snap together or were easily encouraged to do so.

With windows 10 the two windows seem to stay over to the left of the screen and both only take up approx 50% of the screen....I try and stretch them to, which works of a fashion but not remembered next time I start the PC....

Not sure urge if there is something I should be doing to make this work better...

Drivers/Hardware :: Black Screen At Booting

Sep 8, 2015

I have a Samsung laptop. I had Windows 10 for about 2 weeks and everything was fine until last week. When I press the power button, the Windows 10 icon appears with the loading icon. After that, I'm getting a black screen for about 3 minutes then my login screen appears and everything is fine after that.I thought it may be something corrupted with my OS so I decided to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch and not to keep my files and programs. I found out yesterday that this wasn't the solution to my problem because I reinstalled it and it keeps making it again.

Drivers/Hardware :: Black Screen After Each Boot

Dec 31, 2015

I installed Windows 10 yesterday but had to return back to Win 7 because the driver problems crashed the whole system. Basically what happened was that I was stuck at black screen after every boot and got back only when going to sleep-mode through power button and back.

I tried to uninstall all graphic drivers but it doesn't really work when Windows is reinstalling them immediately. I though that I would only use my Nvidia and downloaded the latest drivers and after that disconnect from Internet but the driver installation just crashed the whole system. When I rebooted it crashed again so only thing I could do was to boot in safe mode and go back to Win 7.

Drivers/Hardware :: DVD Drives Causing Black Screen

Sep 15, 2015

I did a clean install of Windows 10 and, because of problems with installation,I disconnected all unnecessary DVD drives and expansion cards etc. I decided to reconnect my DVD drives today to two spare ports on the mobo but, when I started the computer I got a black screen with two strange symbols before Windows attempted to start. The computer just hangs on the black screen. I tried disconnecting the drives in turn, different SATA cables and even starting in safe mode but the result is the same - black screen with strange symbols immediately after POST.

Drivers/Hardware :: Laptop Switched Off / Screen Black But Inside HDD Or CPU Still On

Oct 30, 2015

This topic i.e. "Laptop Switched Off but Inside HDD or CPU still On" is on the internet in almost all forums and i have browsed and surfed 50 of the key ones but none have offered a proper solution or maybe it is not working for my laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron 3542 Laptop with a Core i5 CPU, Nvidia Ge Froce graphic card and 4 GB Ram. It came with preinstalled windows 8.1 64 bit OS which was upgraded to windows 10 64 bit OS.

The issue has started after the upgrade to windows 10.

Even after switching off the laptop, the screen goes black but inside the laptop either the HDD or CPU or something remains on. I formatted and did a clean install and installed all DELL drivers in the perfect order.... No change! The problem still persists. i have the latest Bios as Dell drivers check.

Display Windows Side By Side Command

Oct 3, 2015

Windows 10 will not show windows side by side on right click Task Bar command.In Windows 7 when I had 2 panels open and I wanted to display them side by side, I would go down to the task bar right click and select "Show Windows side by side"

Now after upgrading to windows 10 Pro when I do this I find that the panels are stacked one on top of another contrary to the instruction.I then experimented with "Show windows stacked", and in fact that is what it does.So now my problem is that Windows 10 will not display panels "side by side" when that function is selected.

What that page is called, but when I want to change save locations, none of my drives show up. It worked before but now it just doesn't want to display anything sadly. Here are a few pictures of what I am talking about.

My drives wont show up in this section either...

The thing is though, they display properly in the "This PC" Section so I know they are plugged in correctly.

Why Desktop Icons Overlaid With Black Squares On Lower Left Corners

Only once in a blue moon do I see clean shortcut icons without arrows. It's almost always shortcut icons overlaid with black squares on the lower left corners. I had checked the Windows Registry against the steps in the article twice to find that they were all correct.
