I've turned on protected folders with the new windows update, and i've been getting the block messages, but i'm not sure what the path to the file in that is being blocked. (so i can whitelist it) This was the update for teamviewer so it was easy, but sometimes it's a random program trying to do something, so i have no idea where to find it. This is what i get in notifications, how do i see the full path to the file? i've tried searching, but the terms are so generic that i get nowhere.

Live Tiles

- 3.2k views
On my desktop that was upgraded from W7 to W10 the live tiles simply don't work. They remain a static color never actually going live. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the offending apps a few times without success. The two apps in question are Weather and The Store. My newish laptop has no such issue. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank You.

I found this online and tested it on LTSB 2016. This script adds the Windows Store application (but no other apps) into LTSB 2016. Useful if you still need one or two store apps but don't want the upgrade hell of current branch.

Rainmeter - Still Relevant With Windows 10? 1 2
by Sir Topham Hatt- 37 replies
- 29.2k views
I have often thought if things like Rainmeter are really relevant. I guess it depends what sort of user you are but I always had in the back of my mind that it made desktops look cluttered. Things like how much CPU or RAM is being used, together with how much space each hard drive has is useless as the latter generally doesn't change significantly. But then I see some people with news feeds, or other "nice" things that could actually be useful. Since joining Neowin, I realised how cluttered my desktop was with icons and shortcuts, so over the 10 or so years, I now only have one icon, which points to a drive I use to store "jobs" I have to do. This has made for a very …

Start Menu All Apps manager for Win10
by +Zagadka- 2 replies
- 2.4k views
I apologize if something exists I haven't seen, but I've looked several times The Windows 10 programs list is... horrid. Absolutely horrid. Can't even remove an app via context menu, or rename it, or move it, or really do anything. The only way I've seen is going into the system files themselves and manually removing files, and even that is a crapshoot (doesn't help that there are several places the icons are stored). The app list is completely clogged. Several of the apps were uninstalled months ago, but stay around. What I'm looking for is a program to manage those folders. I actually find use of the tiles in my setup, so I don't want to revert t…

Windows 8.1 Boot Manager Keeps Appearing!
by AKDragonPC- 2 replies
- 2.6k views
Hi, A friend has given me a laptop to fix for him (Lenovo G580). It had so many issues I just used the built in recovery to restore to factory settings. Once fully updated to Win 8.1 I ran some tests and found the hard drive was on its way out and needed to be replaced. I had a spare 500GB HDD lying around so I used Paragon drive copy to clone the drive. The original source drive is 1TB so the partitions were re-sized during the cloning process. Now I would have usually just installed a clean copy of windows from an USB but I am unable to get into the bios/boot menu on this laptop (just a black screen). After googling I have found many uses with this laptop h…

W10 updates changing settings.
by +JR1966- 10 replies

Hi folks I continue to read on sites that users are still experiencing their settings being changed with the Creators Update and further back with the Anniversary Update. I personally have not had this occur on either on my W10 devices. Both of my installs were custom installs and I wonder if that is why my settings have not been changed. Are users settings still being changed with the Creators Update without custom installs? Thank You.

New Laptop Slow at startup?

Morning, I received my new Dell Latitude 3570 it came with 4gb of ram I put a second 4gb stick of ram into it as well making the total 8gb (7.82gb usable). it has the i5-6200U CPU processor. when I power on the laptop it is very slow to get everything loaded. is there anything I can do to speed this up, once its running it moves fine, mostly just the initial boot that is bad. one other think I noticed is that I use MS Access for one purpose to print label, before when running from my desktop it took seconds to do this. now for some reason when I use the MS Access it takes me 30-45 seconds per label to generate. I changed the maxbuffersize in the registry …
