How to Fix Some Windows 10 Problems

How to Fix Some Windows 10 Problems: Though Windows 10 went through a considerable user testing via Microsoft’s Insider Preview programme before its’ launched. There are still glitches with
the way Windows 10 works and even when it is working perfectly it is not everyone that is happy with all of its features.
Here are some of the problems and how to fix some of these problems.

Windows 10 has installed, but I cannot activate it.

Normally Windows 10 should activate automatically once it is installed, but there have been cases of this process failing. If you are using Windows 10 legitimately i.e. you upgraded from an activated version of Window 7 or 8, or installed it with a non-pirated product key, then this is almost certainly just a temporary glitch. You can still use Windows 10 without activating it, but you will not be able to personalize it by changing the Desktop theme, colours and so on. If Windows 10 still did not activate successfully after waiting for a day or two, you will need to contact Microsoft for help.

My “Insert Hardware Here” Does not Work

You should have been warned about any potentially incompatible hardware before you installed Windows 10, but if something does not work after the fact, there are still solutions.
The most obvious is to search online for someone with the same problem and see if there is a fix. An updated driver from the manufacturer is the best option, but if they are not available and you upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, try downloading and installing the Windows 8 driver, this has been known to work.

There are no Inbox Folders in the Mail Application

The Windows 10 Mail application will show separate inbox folders for each mail account you set up, but it will not show any subfolders within them, nor allow you create any. So even if you have subfolders set up in your webmail account, they will not appear in Mail and you will need to view them using your web browser. Microsoft may fix this in a future update.

I cannot play DVDs | Solving Windows 10 Problems

The Windows 10 was launched without a DVD player application, which was a problem if you use your PC to watch films.
Microsoft has since released a suitable application and if you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 with Windows Media Center or Windows 8.1 with Windows Media Center, you should find it in the Windows Store as a free download.

How Can I Switch off Windows Update? | Solving Windows 10 Problems

The Microsoft cooperation has changed the way updates are delivered in Windows 10 and the downside is that they are downloaded automatically. However, you can delay the Windows restart that might be needed to a time that suits you by scrolling down the Windows Update window and choosing your own restart time. Unfortunately, this will not solve the problem of Windows 10 Updates that contain bugs and there have already been some, but there is a way out. Here you are required to just enable System Protection, by searching for it with the Search box, and Windows 10 will create a Restore Point before each update. That means you can undo any problematic ones, which might be the difference between a usable and unusable PC.

Where did my Internet Explorer bookmarks go?

Your bookmarks are still in Internet Explorer, but the new default browser in Windows 10 is Edge. It is easy to import your Internet Explorer bookmarks into Edge; just select Import favorites in the Favorites tab from the Hub menu | Windows 10 Problems.

My Files are Opening in the Wrong Applications

Once you changed the default file associations (i.e. the applications your files open in when you double-click them) in your previous version of Windows, the upgrade to Windows 10 may have undone those changes. Just right-click a file that is not opening properly, select Open with > Choose another app from the menu that appears and select the one you want to start using. Tick the box for Always use this app before clicking OK to make this change permanent.
