To open a second window using the mouse, you have to Shift+click. Knowing that shortcut is especially handy when you plan to move or copy files between two folders. For opening a single window, it's only a few microseconds faster than clicking the taskbar icon, but it's a huge time-saver when you're trying to open a second window. Get to know the classic shortcut combination for File Explorer, Windows key+E. Even if you're a certified Windows master, I bet I can show you a trick or two you didn't know before. Today's edition covers tips, tricks, secrets, and shortcuts for using File Explorer. Over the next few weeks, I want to share some of that learning here, in a series of how-to posts. Putting a book of this size together is always a learning experience, and that's especially true with Windows 10, which mixes classic elements that have been part of Windows for many editions with all-new stuff.
Here's Ed Bott's guide to some specific fixes for known issues along with time-tested troubleshooting tools and techniques. The Anniversary Update to Windows 10, version 1607, has been rolling out for the past few weeks, and some early adopters are experiencing issues. I'm super frustrated.Troubleshooting and repairing Windows 10 problems I've done some more googling, tried a couple of other fixes, but no luck. Unfortunately, although this fix lasted for about a week, now I find I'm having to do it several times a day (not very productive when I'm working on deadlines). I'll note that in my case, the startup type has always been set already to automatic - so, I switched it to manual (apply/ok), then back to automatic (apply/ok), then restart the computer and - fine. After doing some googling, I came upon one "fix" - hit WinKey + R, then services.msc, then Windows Search > Properties, then change "startup type" to automatic. However, in the past three weeks, after working absolutely fine for most of the day, the search will stop functioning out of the blue. My first course of action was to rebuild the index (which took forever), and which seemed to have helped. In the past couple of months there have been numerous instances where, when searching in windows explorer, any term I enter in the search box will simply return "No Items Match Your Search" (even though I know/can see that there are files in the folder with names matching the search term exactly). I'm using a Surface Pro 4 as my "laptop" (external keyboard and monitor), and because the hard drive isn't terribly large, I use it with a large external hard drive. A very frustrating problem that seems to have come out of nowhere.
