How to Clean up a Windows 10 Pro system
I'm looking for effective ways to clean up and optimize my Windows 10 Pro system to improve performance and free up disk space. I want to know the best methods to remove unnecessary files, manage startup programs, and ensure my system runs smoothly without risking important data or functionality.How to increase edge and corner grabbing zone for resizing a Window?
My new monitor is 2560 x 1440 and for productivity reasons I like to be able to move my mouse cursor fully from side to side and top to bottom of the screen primarily with finger and wrist movement only. So my mouse cursor speed/sensitivity is set to maximum. The trade-off is it makes it harder to land the pointer accurately on extremely small target areas of the screen. For me, the only time this trade-off is too high is when trying to land on the very narrow edges of desktop windows so I can resize them on the fly. I’ve been living with this for months and finally got frustrated enough to take action. I couldn’t find any settings in “Windows Settings” or in Control Panel to change the width of the zones for grabbing the edges or corners. Let me know if I’m missing some setting somewhere! Searching the web was mostly a dead end until I found the following registry edit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics Double click on BorderWidth. (Mine was set at “-15” which I think ends up being only 1 or 2 pixels wide?) Change it to a larger negative number, close regedit and restart the computer to apply the change. After some testing, I settled on “-160”. The fiddle-factor to grab a window edge has been resolved. And, no, it didn’t change the visual thickness of the windows borders – only the width of the drag zones.
ESU admin account
I have enrolled my Windows 10 for ESU by changing my account to administrator and non-local account. This synced by settings and I didn't need to backup my other files to Onedrive. My update screen confirms I'm enrolled so all good so far. My question is do I need to keep my account as an Administrator now that I am enrolled? I'm a little nervous about leaving it so, as I also have a separate local admin account for installng stuff, and prefer to keep permissions separate from day to day browsing. Thanks, PaulUnable to open Download file in Win 10
I can’t open the Download file in Windows 10. Using Windows 10 latest patches. I’ve tried to open the Download file and it hangs with “Not Responding.” I’ve waited for up to an hour with no change. I’ve rebooted and run DISM and SFC and used a system restore point. All with no success. I’m able to open all other files.I hate that AI is on every computer we have!
I have a very basic Windows 10 computer. Being retired, and getting old, I can’t afforf to upgrade to a newer Motherboard, CPU and memory RAM. Also a Window 11 laptop. Now, I get easily frustrated on all the household computers, because there has been AI stuck on them all. I I want to search for a video on YouTube, they think that I need multiple videos ( with any one of the words I typed into search), I want this AI crap off all our machines. Anyhow, every one thinks I am some kind of GURU. I just build the darn things, and don’t program them! I been searching for that Copilot guy on Windows 10, and I can’t find him, even when I follow the hints from Google too.Windows 10 gets 6 years of ESU?

Having problems with the Microsoft Store app. When I launch it, it suddenly pops up with a message on the screen: "We're very sorry, an error occurred and the Microsoft Store could not be initialized. Please try updating or come back later." I've tried various methods to solve the problem, such as reinstalling with the "Update this PC" option in the Media Creator Tool to install Windows 10, and the problem still persists. I tried using PowerShell with the following command: Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} Described in several answers for similar cases posted on the Microsoft community forum. Answer provided by user KapilArya on the hub "https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/windowsinsiderprogram/microsoft-store-wont-launch/1513414" Also, together with a support agent, a solution was attempted by creating a new user to solve the problem, but it didn't work. A diagnosis was also performed for the installation of Windows 11, but my computer doesn't have the minimum specifications for it to be installed. And even so, I still can't solve the problem and I wouldn't like to reinstall Windows 10 using external media (USB) because I would lose too much information about the applications and data that I have from several years of experience. I'm collecting and would like to know if I can do anything else to resolve this issue without losing data. I would like to get help as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention and help in resolving this issue. I attach evidence of the problem and the methods used.
Keyboard Shortcuts (like control C or V) have quit Working
For years I always used keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste. Out of the blue they quit working on my Ideapad. Nothing I have tried has helped to restore them. I don't know if this is an issue with Lenovo or with Windows 10? Perhaps some Windows Update? My driver is up to date. I recently reinstalled Windows on this machine. I don't know what else to try to fix this issue. All the keys on the keyboard seem to work perfectly. I appreciate your HELP! Thanks, Larry
