Folders Not Opening

Dec 8, 2015

3 days ago I was exploring an older hard drive. When I tried to explore the desktop folder of that drive Windows Vista, it wouldn't open. It suggested that i shared the folder so I could explore it or copy files from that folder(which is what I originally wanted to do). When I did, the folders on any drive stopped opening. When I try to open any folder, it flashes white and returns to the desktop.

Windows Search Not Opening Folders

Nov 12, 2015

Up until a few days ago when I clicked the windows key and typed C:projects (or any folder) and clicked enter that location would open. This is no longer working. I can still open applications but I can't open any folder locations. Is there a settings somewhere for this?

After more testing, when I hit the windows key and type C:projects and hit the enter key....Nothing happens. However if I do the same procedure but instead click on C:projects with my mouse the folder opens. So it seems only the enter key won't open the folder.

Start Menu Folders Within Folders

Jan 2, 2016

On Windows 7 start menu you could have a folder such as EA Games and then sub folders within. For example a folder for tiger woods golf, a folder for say Fifa and so on. It seems on Windows 10 you can only have one folder level. I have tried creating sub folders but all the shortcuts within the sub folders all appear under the one top/master folder when actually viewing the start menu. Am I correct in this observation/restriction?

I installed W10 five weeks ago and until now all has been well.

When I turn on my laptop the"normal" picture screen opening appears showing the correct date / time.

Any action to open the log in screen or any key press results in the log on screen showing for about a half second followed by a blank screen with only the cursor arrow showing.

About a minute later the picture reappears.

I check that also. However it still pops up with the 5 or 6 program choice window when I click on a JPG file. How do I get the choice to stick?

Apps :: Keep Opening On Their Own?

Aug 4, 2015

I have been using WIndows 10 since they released it and one issue has been plaguing me since then. Whenever I leave my computer and come back after some time i will notice apps are opened sitting in my taskbar. The main apps that do it are Photo and Calendar.

I don't use those apps for either photo or calendar things and I am not even signed into Windows 10 with a MS account.

But every hour or so, these apps open up and hang out in my taskbar. I have even removed them from default apps and uninstalled what I could but no luck.

Start Menu Not Opening

Jul 30, 2015

I made clean Windows 10 (build 10240) install five times, and five times after some time my Start menu had vanished. Simply it doesn't open neither by Win key nor by mouse click on Window icon. Now I won't go into 6th clean install as it is clear that after a while Start menu would disappear again. So this is not way to go.

- PowerShell command

Code:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"}

- Registry edit

Code:
CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Explorer>Advance>EnableXamlStartMenu = 0

In the meantime between working and non-working Start I didn't make any radical system changes nor user hacks to system so the problem is all the more surprising for me. Any way that would bring my menu back (since without it the OS control is significantly diminished) or maybe someone other had met the same problem (on final build) too.

Reenable (Always Ask Before Opening This File)

Aug 30, 2015

How do I reenable back the 'Always ask before opening this file' security popup for a .js script file? It is normally executed by Microsoft Windows Based Script Host.

While it is annoying for everytime I double-clicked it instead of right-clicking it to edit the code, disabling the security popup would mean that the script would try to run and this is not really good..

Start Menu Not Opening

Dec 7, 2015

I've looked through and ran various troubleshooters I was able to find regarding the Start Menu which refuses to open since I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Needless to say, none of them worked, so here I am.

The problem, however, runs deeper than just the Start Menu. Basically, everything on the taskbar that's not a pinned program, doesn't work. I can right-click the task bar just fine and the menu opens and I have the options to open the Control Panel, Task Manager, Power Shell etc. However, right-clicking any of the pinned programs does nothing. On my other systems, if I do that I get some options (e.g. if I right-click Visual Studio, I get a menu which enables me to open one of the recent solutions). I know there is an option that I need to set up to enable this feature, and I have it enabled, but the context menu that should display this simply doesn't open. Consequently, I can't pin any new programs to the taskbar, or un-pin old ones.

Furthermore, one of the tutorials suggested I try enabling and then disabling a full screen start menu through settings. However, I noticed that no matter what I do, the system won't remember that I toggled the full screen start menu button. I set it to ON, exit settings, re-enter settings, and it shows as being OFF again.

Next, clicking the date and time on the taskbar should open up a monthly calendar. Well, not for me. The calendar is completely unresponsive. Right-clicking the notification in the tray shows the option to open the action center, but the action center doesn't open.

Lagging When Opening Website

Oct 29, 2015

I have updated my ThinkPad Helix (1. gen) to Windows 10 as soon as possible, went well, no hassle except to find some drivers, but got them in a matter of days. Anyway, I didn't experience the improvement of performance, I expected, so I went for a clean install. Also because I couldn't get Office365 activated - a glitch, I read about several places, none with other solution than clean install of Windows. And I prefer a clean, virgin, fast and clutterfree installation - until I clutter it again ...

Installation went well, took a little over two hours (with cleaning of SDD), chose to keep no files (but had to start over again, because I wasn't satisfied with the folder structure and user names). But now, up and running again, I'm experiencing lags and holds, when primarily, opening at website with Flash or other things going on, like video or a chat window. The cursor reacts with seconds delay, hardly to control, have to use my fingers to close the browser again. And it's the same, regardless using Firefox, Chrome (this is worst), Edge or IE ...

Closing the window or tab with the problematic page, the computer responds quickly as i would expect it to...

Tried to disable the native flash-player in Chrome, didn't work. Went from Chrome Canary back to regular Chrome, didn't work.

Also I had CPU or GPU (onboard) suspected, but installed all relevant Intel management software, got Lenovo System Update and got system specific software and drivers, but left out the bloatware.

I can vaguely remember same problems, when I went from W 8 to 8.1, but can't remember the problem and the solution. I think, I did a reset, but not sure. Another clean install? Took me hours, so would like to avoid this...
