In my upgrade of Win7 to Win10 (winver 1511 build 10586), the RUN command remembers its MRU. However, in a fresh install of Win10 (winver 10240), RUN does NOT remember its MRUs.
Importing the relevant registry key from the first into the second, does NOT solve the problem. Is there an effective way of getting Win10's RUN command to remember its MRUs ?
Windows 10 Home RTM.
IE11 default.
In the past, if I opened the Run and enter a command, that command will stay in the Run box.Next time I opened the Run, I would see that last command in the box.
Today, I notice it does not do that anymore. My last entry will not appear in the Run box. Just a blank Run box.
Is that normal ? Do other Win 10 Home users have the same thing ?
I am running on windows 10 64 bit upgraded from an 8. I working on an HP 15 laptop and I cannot get computer to remember my settings such as wanting to turn off the touchpad when I have the mouse plugged in but as soon as I restart it again it back to the way it was.
View 1 RepliesIn every version of Windows 10 I have used, including the most recent official build (and unlike every previous Windows including XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc...) my window positions on the desktop are not remembered (sticky) each time I close the window. Meaning that each time I open a window I have to either re-position it or adapt to wherever Windows has chosen to place it.

How can I change a shortcut permission to open without jumping through all these hoops?
Even though it says I'm the Admin, do I need to go to the Elevated Admin to do simple things like saving a Power & Save setting, which I can't do currently?
I upgraded to Win 10 few weeks ago and I have a small issue with it.I can't make Win 10 open windows where i want them to open.
Previously with Win 7 I had the Explorer open on the right side of the screen, taking about half of the screen. My browser would open on the left side taking up the rest of the screen. It was very easy to set up. I just resized it to what I wanted, placed it where I wanted and closed it down. After reopening it would open in the same place, same size.
I tried the same with Win 10 and it doesn't work... Every time I reboot and open my browser and Explorer I have to readjust them. I know that's a very minor thing, but it bothers me every time I turn my PC on. how I can force Win 10 to remember where to open windows?
How do I get Windows Explorer to remember my settings when I exit? For instance, if I'm in a folder and click "Size all columns to fit", then I exit Explorer and come back to that folder again, it doesn't remember that I clicked "size all columns to fit" and I have to do it again.

View 3 RepliesHere is my problem: I keep my folders in different settings, some with large icons, some with details view.
Today they are all reset to details view, and items are listed by name. Every folder is reset to the same settings. When I try to change they always defaults to details view. Even when I go to another folder and press back, the settings are already reset.
Also, icons on desktop are keep returning to default state (big icons), I keep them smaller, when I hold ctrl and scroll mouse wheel they become smaller, but next time I reset windows they return to default (big icons) view. I already cleaned shellbag in regedit, reset windows but it is still the same.
I saw this other theme with similar problem, but I am not using Eset, I use Kaspersky.
Also I don't have this key in my registry :
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1Desktop
I've just installed Wiondows 10 Insider Preview Build 14279 and I've noticed a problem.
It's unable to save my WiFi password, I need to write it again every time I turn on Windows, even if I check the option "connect automatically".
How can I solve this problem? It was working well before, with my "regular" Windows 10 ....
If I have say 10 programs up and am in the middle of things on each and I hit sleep then:
1.) The computer indeed goes to sleep i.e. the CPU Fan goes off.
2.) When I come back several hours later I always find that the CPU fan is on.
3.) When did the CPU Fan come back on? How do I set this time? This is the big question!
3.) I then use my mouse and the screen shows me the position on all 10 programs exactly as I left it.
Now the CPU fan coming back on after xxx minutes which I want to control means it rebooted some time after it went to sleep. On this machine there is a raid controller so the reboot process took about 5 minutes.
Other facts: If I hit sleep so the machine appears to turn off and the CPU fan stops and then put off the switch on the PSU then of course when I come back into the room in 8 hours or whatever I must turn the switch back on. I then hit the power button and wait 5 minutes while the raid controller and the CPU boot up and then I am back onto the 10 programs exactly where I left them.
So in the sleep command I want to set the time when it reboots to say 7 hours if I am going home to dinner and rest. If I am going to be away for an hour I want to set this time to say 1 hour. That way I can save having to hit sleep and then turn off the PSU switch to keep my CPU fan off all the time I am away.
To put it another way if I just hit sleep and leave for all I know it reboots after 5 minutes so electric saving is low!!
Use of Opacity setting for Command Prompt on the Experimental tab?
I've tried it at many different settings and I just can't see a use for it.
The error code I received told to me to empty files and then "Run the command prompt as an administrator"? Then, type wuauclt.exe/update now??......I don't know what run the command prompt means. I have no skills.
View 2 RepliesWhen I bring up the run command (Win+R) and enter regedit or regedit.exe. It does not open.
If I enter C:Windowsregedit.exe, it opens.
All other exe files in the windows directory opens fine except for regedit.
Windows and System32 folders were missing in the environment path, so I added them and there is no difference.
I have 2 systems running Win10, one works and one does not
I have full ownership and permissions to the Windows folder.
One other strange thing is the Run box doesn't keep any history on the problem computer, but does on the other one.
Tapping F8 or spacebar doesn't do anything ?
I want to boot to command prompt only. I need to rename my user folder, in an attempt to get it named correctly, after the clean upgrade decided to drop the last character, which now gives me a girls name..
Doing it within Windows gives me an Access Denied.. Doing it as a local account, gives me an Access Denied.
Was going to give it a shot outside the OS. and at the recovery prompt, using just the REN command.
Then booting back in, (ignoring the plethora of errors) mess around a little in the registry, have my Microsoft account sync itself back to the correct path, then go for another clean install.
I can not open command prompt. Every time I open it I got error message come up.
The message is said [ The application is not start up right Press OK to close]
When I try to open a COmmand Prompt via

I should add this was an upgrade to Win10.
my Dell Latitude E6520 laptop, I can open command prompt (Normal and Admin), but can not close any of the CMD windows I open unless I go through the Task Manager and shut them down. I do not have that issue on my desktop, which is also running Windows 10 Pro. The laptop is the only Windows 10 device I've run across that has this issue. It is just incredibly aggrivating that I have to go through the Task Manager just to close the cmd windows

View 2 RepliesSo I attempted to remove the stupid passwords using the "Run" app and entering "netplwiz". I somehow managed to instead remove my admin options and the password is still in effect... I attempted to go back to the "Run" app but when it asks if I would like this app to make changes to my computer, the only option is "No". Yes is grayed out and there is no place to put a password.
I also tried the Command Prompt. I right click and choose "Run as Admin", it again asks if I would like to make changes and the only option is "No". So I tried typing "net user administrator /active:yes" I get access denied system error 5.
I have tried logging out of the current account, but it looks like the current account is the only account on the computer. I can't even run my virus protection because it asks to make changes to the computer and "No" is the only option. I tried Windows support but they referred me to technical support and the wait is over 3 hours.
