Mar 7, 2016Windows 10 still retains the list of sites visited even when "in private browsing" is used. Why?

Any Way To Keep Folders Truly Private?
Aug 12, 2015I think MS has been doing this for awhile, but I want to make sure that any solution works for Windows 10: Any administrator account can muscle into another user's folders. It doesn't matter that the folder isn't shared, or how many times you manually remove the shared access, because the only barrier to entry is a pointless warning prompt. The only thing you can do really AFAIK is manually deny permissions for specific accounts in the security tab of a folder's properties.
But there's nothing stopping an administrator account from making another account that hasn't been blacklisted. And you can't deny the Administrator group unless you want to be locked out of your own folders, since the group denial will trump your user access. Hope I'm missing something here....

Networking :: Change All Connected Networks To Private Instead Of Public
Jan 31, 2016Is there a way I can change all connected networks to private instead of public with a click-able script? The problem was that a User was connected to an open network using a VPN which then also connected showing Public. With both as Public, they could not map to a network resource. I fixed it using the "go to home-groups and change network settings, etc." But surely there is a way it could be handled with a simple script to edit same? End result was the VPN showed private while the open WiFi he connected to still showed public but he could access the server now.
View 1 RepliesNetworking :: Turning Off Password Protected Sharing On Private Network?
Nov 6, 2015I have a Windows 10 PC, with one of it's functions being that of a file server/NAS for my home network. I set it up with password protected sharing and a user account/password that everyone knows and uses to access it. I didn't really have any reason to use password protected sharing at the time, but it was the default so I left it.
Now I have a couple of network streaming devices that can't handle password protected sharing, so I was considering turning it off. Is there any reason not to turn off password protected sharing on a private network? Obviously I don't mind everyone on the network having access, but I was wondering if it had any other potential security benefits that I haven't thought of.

Can't Define Default App For Web Browsing
Aug 8, 2015I have been using Firefox Portable for several years and after updating to Windows 10 I can set it as the default app for web browsing. Within settings I can change the default app from IE to Edge but have no way of browsing to the location of my FF portable (in my documents folder). When I try setting it as default browser from within FF it just brings me to the Windows settings where I get stuck again.
Can I set my FF portable to my default browser?
Web Browsing Extremely Slow
Sep 14, 2015I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My web browsing is extremely slow, I somehow feel that this started before the upgrade and may not be related to the upgrade. I have to refresh some pages as many as 10 times before the page will load and overall web browsing is extremely slow.

BSOD :: Various Types Usually During Browsing / Gaming
Oct 26, 2015I upgraded recently to Windows 10, my computer has always had some random BSOD problems but now it's definitely worse, it used to be only while watching videos (on windows media player) then occasionally on gaming,
Now it even happens while browsing and the errors vary from one type to the other, no real constant. I read a bit online and I tried doing a verifier check but my CPU went into a blue screen bootloop so that didn't really solve my problem (had to reopen in safe mode and undo the colossal mess that was)
Not sure where else to go from there. I followed the guidelines and have uploaded a zip of the debug log, I sure hope that will give a good starting point...

View 2 RepliesScreen Blackouts When Browsing Computer
Feb 6, 2016I recently cleaned my computer (got dust out and repasted the heat sink on my processor). I wouldn't even consider myself an amateur computer person, but I know how to use Google and can generally troubleshoot common problems.
To the point: At some point after I put my computer back together and hooked it up to my monitor (that had no previous problems) it started going black for 1 - 2 seconds while I use File Explorer (just browsing) on my computer. The problem is frequent but inconsistent as to when it will do it. If I'm doing something and need to navigate, after opening a file it will sometimes just go black for 1 - 2 seconds and come back as if nothing happened. If say I acted as though the monitor did not go black and pressed enter on a highlighted file, when the monitor refreshed properly whatever I did executed properly.If I'm watching a movie or playing a video game or browsing the internet* or alt-tab between programs on already opened files I do not have this problem. It only occurs when I browse files on my harddrive.
*after I wrote this I went to watch an embedded youtube video and pressed play and it did blink for less than a second after I hit the play button (did not go full screen yet). If I notice anything else I will update this.
One very peculiar thing and I don't even know if it's related or not, is if I leave my computer idle for 2 - 3 hours and come back I cannot get the screen to come up at all (the monitor acts like there is no input) and not only that, my computer reset button is unresponsive. I literally have to do a hard reboot to get my computer to respond. This only happens if I leave it alone for long periods. It doesn't happen as long as I'm using the computer.
Browser/Email :: Upgrade - Browsing Slow
Dec 13, 2015Upgraded my Windows machine to 10 last week. I didn't want to take any chances so I did a totally clean install. I haven't made any tweaks or installed any programs. My laptop is an ASUS dual core AMD with 4GB of memory and a 750GB hard drive.
When I use Microsoft Edge it takes 3 seconds to open the browser and then when I type a website address it takes 7 seconds to fully load. I installed Chrome and while it's faster, it's not by much.
I have another laptop running Windows 7 on the same network. It opens websites almost instantly. It does have better hardware - Intel i7, quad core, 8gb of ram, 500gb ssd. However, web browsing isn't a resource intensive activity so I would suspect hardware differences would not have a material impact.
BSOD :: Browsing Internet / Streaming Videos
Nov 4, 2015I have had an issue of my computer Blue screening multiple times over the past few weeks. The frequency has increased and I cannot replicate the issue on demand, it comes and goes by itself. The first time I noticed this was when my computer BSODed when I was streaming a video to my Chromecast. Once the computer restarted, it did not have any further issues. However, these past few days when I was browsing the net, my computer was BSOD on its own without really doing anything resource intensive. Is there any way this can be fixed?

BSOD :: Crash While Browsing Or Watching Videos?
Nov 20, 2015My issue doesn't really happen while playing games. It happened once while I was in a game. I simply spend more time not playing games, so imo it makes sense that this crash happens while I'm not playing games. I don't know.
The primary display goes solid green and the secondary screen goes black. The audio - if playing - repeats the last few miliseconds of whatever was playing just before the screen changed.
e: I guess I should mention that this doesn't happen very frequently. Usually once every few days. The quickest it's been to repeat itself was when it happened two days in a row, but after that it didn't happen again until a few days later.
Updates :: System Freezes While Browsing After KB3093266
Oct 11, 2015This started shortly after I installed the latest cumulative update a couple of weeks ago. I had been using IE as my default browser, I was in here reading and my whole system locked up. That happened about 3 times, then I moved to FireFox. Under Firefox, it would not freeze completely, my mouse would still work, but my Keyboard would be locked up and clicking on things doesn't do anything. Everything ran generally well before the update. If I stay out of desktop browsers it doesn't freeze, if I use Edge it won't freeze.
View 1 RepliesBSOD :: During Gaming And Sometimes When Watching Netflix / Browsing?
Jan 23, 2016I upgraded my video card to a MSI Radeon R9 390 recently. But my Motherboard is a Gigabyte Model: GA-870A-UD3. It is running on PCI-e 2.0 rather than 3.0 but I don't know how to verify that this is what is causing the BSOD.
I am also running two types of RAM in my computer:
Corsair 2x 2GB RAM
Kingston 2x 8GB 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11
I have a Corsair HX650 as a powersupply. I would've thought that this PSU is sufficient for the hardware that I'm running.
I play games such as GTA V, Starcraft II, Counter Strike: GO and it crashes at random times - sometimes even in the menu screen.
Look forward to hearing back form you and telling me what type of tests I can do to try and find the root cause.
