You sure you left an explorer window open? I don't really mind where it opens either but it's a byproduct of me wanting my folder of currently-watching TV series open on boot.

Mine's also a clean install of RTM (en-GB) Pro. Literally installed it yesterday on the desktop.

Yes - definitely left an Explorer Windows open -- rebooted several times and double checked the setting was "ticked" just to make sure. No worries here though -- I rarely reboot and like most have said here in this thread -- it is just not that hard to click the desktop tile.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      The concept of ghost writers has existed for centuries; they don't get disclosed. I'm not sure this is different. In both cases the true author has agreed to do the work without being publicly credited. Don't get me wrong, I find the entire thing disgusting. Perhaps we agree but have slightly different standards for what the word "shady" means.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dune: Awakening, The Alters, and more

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dune: Awakening, The Alters, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service brings support for a new selection of games every Thursday, and the latest weekly drop has just revealed itself. The latest games supported by the service include hits like Dune: Awakening, highly anticipated indies like The Alters and Kingdom Two Crows, and much more. Aside from the new games, Nvidia has just kicked off a brand-new sale for its 24-hour pass program. Available only for its Performance tier of GeForce NOW, this latest 1-day membership pass discount offers 1440p resolution streams with features like ray tracing and DLSS for 40% off. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW 40% off sale for the six-month subscription is still active too, with Nvidia cutting the price of the Performance membership until July. Here are the games announced for the program this week: Frosthaven Demo (New release on Steam, June 9) Dune: Awakening (New release on Steam, June 10) MindsEye (New release on Steam, June 10) Kingdom Two Crowns (New release on Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 11) The Alters (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 13) Lost in Random: The Eternal Die (New release on Steam and Xbox, June 13, available on PC Game Pass, June 17) Firefighting Simulator – The Squad (Xbox, available on PC Game Pass) JDM: Japanese Drift Master (Steam) Hellslave (Steam) Last week, Nvidia also revealed some highlights from what's coming throughout June. This includes FBC: Firebreak, the Borderlands trilogy, Rematch, and much more. The company has a tendency to add many more games to its cloud gaming service outside of these early announcements, so check back as weeks go by to see what's new. As always though, keep in mind that unlike subscription services like Game Pass, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers.

      Yes, thats why put no offense in brackets. I realize it might sound inappropriate. It wasn't meant so. It is with all respect.

      I would have not have gone with "intellectually weaker individuals" but just said not very tech savvy individuals and I suspect you don't have much in the way of life experiences there. I consider myself rather technically inclined as have worked in IT for some 30 years so I understand how annoying it can be to deal with someone who is not very tech savvy but... I have meet people who were brain surgeons, legal scholars, and one Noble prize winner who were all fairly ignorant about technology and clueless about their phones and computers but yet I would say was the one who was the "intellectually weaker individual" in every case.
