I've downloaded and installed some beautiful themes from Windows Store with some very nice wallpapers. My primary display has a resolution of 5760x1080, three 23" monitors brought together using Nvidia's Surround Feature. The wallpapers span across the three monitors but the images are grossly enlarged and do not show fully on the display. Most of the pictures are cropped. Is there a way, a...

Good Day. I installed Windows 10 Professional x64 on a clean drive, added the software and updates and I can't get Photo Viewer to be set as the default Photo Software. I verified photoviewer.dll present in both 32 and 64 bit Program Files Folders. I ran the registry merge to Activate Windows Photo Viewer and checked the Registry and the updates were merged into the Registry, but the option...

Preservation of "Date Created" property for mp4 files when copying

$

It seems that copying some video files ( at least mp4 ), the "Date Created" property is not reliably preserved, especially to and from USB drives. About 10% of them would have the copy time time stamp instead of the original "Date Created" time stamp on the destination file, and it appears, that larger files are more susceptible. And it is not file dependant, recopying the same file, would yield...

Greetings. I have noticed on all systems running W10 (any flavor) that certain windows applications and browsers that are not maximized, an inability to be stretched all the way to the screen edge as in W7. This only appears in landscape (horizontal) mode. There is about 3 mm total gap size (1.5 mm) on each side of the display where you can center the window but it won't stretch the full...

I am considering enabling Controlled Folder Access to minimize the chance of a ransomeware attack. However, adding all of the programs that should be allowed to access files one .EXE at a time will take months. Is there any way to add all of the executables in the Program Files folder at once? Thanks.

When this was finished, I removed the backup device and the DD flash drive and rebooted. Now I always get a BSOD "IO1 Initialization Failed". Every time! Even if I remove all other peripherals...

How to uninstall KB4023057

On Jan 4 I installed KB4023057. I now wish I hadn't and want to uninstall it. I see it listed in "View update history" but it is not listed under "Uninstall update". Some of the fixes installed on Jan 4 are listed, but not KB4023057. How do I uninstall it other that by restoring from an old backup? Update: I see that KB4023057 is again awaiting download. Odd.
