Most Annoying Things in Windows 10 & How To Fix It



Hello and welcome to Char Note. Windows 10 is most likely the best version of Microsoft's admired working system. In any case, Redmond has never made a completely culminate OS. As much as we prefer Windows 10—and we truly do like it a considerable measure—it has issues. Gratefully, various them are effectively amended. Here's our take a gander at a couple of them, and the steps you can take to amend the issues so the OS doesn't drive you up the Windows backdrop. 

1. Stop Auto Reboots 

Windows 10 upgrades are normal and apparently ceaseless, and essentially out of the user's control (unless you kill overhauls inside and out, which is an awful thought). What's more awful: on the off chance that you don't reboot your PC after an overhaul, Windows 10 in the end willingly volunteers reboot for you. That is a decent approach to lose information in open applications. 

You can exploit a component called Active Hours, which gives you a chance to plan a period for reboots. However, our brethren at ExtremeTech additionally found an answer by means of blogger Winaero: It includes going to Administrative Tools in the Control Panel (simply sort "Authoritative Tools" into the Windows 10 look box). Pick Task Scheduler. In the left sheet, click Task Scheduler Library and after that explore to Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator. In the center sheet, right-tap on Reboot and select "Impair" from the menu.


This doesn't stop the establishment of Windows redesigns, however it will stop the reboot so you can do it on your timetable. 

2. Prevent Sticky Keys

On the off chance that you hit the Shift enter five circumstances in succession, you actuate Sticky Keys, a Windows highlight that takes into consideration console easy routes where you hit one key at once rather than all the while (so it works with any combo that incorporates the Shift, Cntrl, Alt, or Windows keys). 

On the off chance that you initiate it without knowing—you'd need to hit "yes" in a dialog box without considering—it can be genuinely irritating. Keep it from steadily occurring by hitting the Shift five circumstances quickly to raise that very dialog box. Select Ease of Access Center > Set up Sticky Keys and uncheck the crate alongside "Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is squeezed five circumstances." 


3. Calm the UAC Down

As far back as Windows Vista, User Account Control (UAC) has been there to ensure users so they can rapidly give authoritative rights to programming programs that need it—particularly when introducing or uninstalling programming. 

In the past times, when you went to do an introduce, the screen would abruptly diminish and everything appeared to stop, causing a few (episodic, most likely anecdotal) heart assaults in the midst of the people. UAC is still there in Windows will in any case diminish the desktop, yet you have the alternative to turn it off, or if nothing else keep the screen darkening. 

Sort UAC into the Windows 10 seek box to get Change User Account Control Settings. The screen gives a slider four levels of security, from never inform (terrible) to dependably tell (irritating—it'll caution you when you roll out your own particular improvements). Pick one of the center choices; the second from the base advises you without the diminishing panic strategy. With that alternative, regardless you'll get a dialog box affirmation with a yes/no choice when you introduce things. 


4. Uninstall Unused Apps 

Did you know you have a program in Windows 10 called Groove Music? Likely not, because the world uses different administrations. In any case, now, you can dispose of it and a couple others. 

You'll require the most recent adaptation of Windows 10 for this to work—but since overhauls are constrained on you, that is presumably not an issue! Starting late in 2016, a couple pre-introduced applications can at last be erased when you go into Settings > System > Apps and Features. Deletable applications incorporate Mail and Calendar, Groove Music, Weather, and Maps. 

On the off chance that your uninstall alternative is turned gray out, you can go the DOS course, however it gets somewhat confused and you ought to be 100 percent beyond any doubt of what you're doing. 

Sort PowerShell in the Windows searchbox—when you see it, right-snap and dispatch it by means of Run as Administrator. 

Sort in "Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers" without the quotes. A goliath rundown of all the stuff you have introduced that originated from Microsoft's Store, in addition to some other stuff, will show up. 

It's elusive those applications in there, however the last one will presumably plainly read Microsoft.ZuneMusic—that is really Grove Music. Duplicate all that it says at stake by PackageFullName. 

You'll then sort in a summon and glue that line, so it peruses something like "expel AppxPackage Microsoft.ZuneMusic_10.16122.10271.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" (yours will be diverse after the first underscore character). 

Execute it with a stroke of the arrival key, and on the off chance that you don't get any blunders, the Groove Music application ought to be gone. Be watchful using this on different applications—make sure you've picked the correct one. 


5. Use a Local Account 

Microsoft truly needs you to sign into Windows 10 with your Microsoft account—the one that is connected to all things Microsoft, be it your Xbox, your Office 365 membership, your OneDrive record, purchasing applications or music or video in the Windows Store, notwithstanding chatting on Skype, to give some examples. When you set up Windows, Microsoft particularly requests that you sign in using that record. 

Be that as it may, you don't need to. Amid setup, simply click Skip this step. In the event that you officially marked in with the Microsoft account, go to Settings > Accounts > Your email and Accounts. Click Sign in with a nearby record. Presently you can enter a neighborhood account name and new watchword (with a clue for when you overlook it). The one drawback is that when you wind up on an administration or site that requires Microsoft qualifications, you'll need to enter your Microsoft login every time; it won't consequently sign you in as it would on the off chance that you sign in with a Microsoft account. 


6. Use a PIN, Not a Password 

In case you're alright using the Microsoft account, yet detest to what extent it takes to sort in your super secure secret word, you can reset it to a short individual distinguishing proof number (PIN)— yet just on the PC. The PIN, which is just numerals, no blended case letters or extraordinary characters, won't not sound exceptionally secure. Be that as it may, since it's PC-just, it doesn't bargain the security of your Microsoft account anyplace else. Likewise, it can be the same number of digits as you longing. 

To set it up, tap the Start menu, then on your symbol pic, and pick Change account settings. Explore to Sign-in choices, and tap the Add catch under PIN. Enter the PIN you need and restart to attempt it. In the event that you've as of now got a PIN, you inspire alternatives to change it, expel it, or snap I overlooked my PIN to recuperate it. 

7. Avoid the Password Login 

It is safe to say that you are the main individual who—and I mean ever—uses your PC? At that point you can most likely avoid the secret key login screen that shows up after each reboot or some of the time notwithstanding when you return from the screensaver. To do that, go to the User Accounts control board by writing "netplwiz" in the inquiry bar. Select the record, uncheck the container alongside "Users must enter a user name and watchword to use this PC. You'll get an affirmation box that requests that you enter that very secret word—twice. Click affirm when done. Reboot the PC and on the off chance that it works, it ought to roll easily into the desktop without asking for a secret key. Try not to do this if it's shared PC. Despite everything you'll have to know the secret word in case you're signing into the PC remotely. 


8. Refresh Instead of Reset

Windows 10 has a fabulous element that lets you basically reinstall Windows 10 on your PC starting from the earliest stage, as new—without erasing any of your information records (however you should reinstall programming and drivers). At the point when your PC is unrecoverable, you get to it at Settings > Update and Security > Recovery, and snap Reset this PC, pick settings like "Keep My Files" or "Evacuate Everything" and let it tear. You needn't bother with any different media, similar to a duplicate of Windows 10 on a plate or USB streak drive. 

In any case, that can be pointless excess. At times, Windows simply needs a reset that does not annihilate your product and drivers. This is likewise simple to do, yet it requires a duplicate of Windows 10 on independent media. Try not to have the media, since you presumably played out the free Windows 10 redesign amid its first year of life? Get it by means of here. Run it and introduce the included ISO document onto a 4GB or bigger USB drive you can use for the reset now and later on. Alternately you can simply mount it as a virtual drive in Windows 10. 

Double tap the setup on that media/drive's Setup alternative, make a request to download redesigns and check "Keep individual records and applications" when it shows up. After a couple of more prompts and holding up, your Windows 10 system will have the revive it needs. 

9. Kill Cortana Dead

Ace Chief could never give this a chance to happen. Perhaps that is the reason the latest form of Windows 10 took out the change to kill Cortana, Microsoft's response to Siri and Alexa. Using Cortana makes hunting down any term more than only a look on your PC, additionally the whole Internet—that is the reason her inquiry box lets you know "Ask me anything." You can in any case kill her, in any case. 

First, there is the alternative to conceal Cortana: without flaw tap the Taskbar, select Cortana, then Hidden. The hunt box vanishes, yet she's still dynamic and effortlessly open: tap the Windows key and simply begin writing. 


In the event that you need to truly take her out so all inquiries are nearby, you have to alter the registry—don't do this in case you're not feeling like a Windows master. You need to open the Registry Editor in Windows from a summon line—there is no simple easy route. In the hunt box, sort Run or CMD to raise the charge line, then sort regedit and hit Enter. In Windows 10 Home, explore to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search. In the event that it's not there, make it. Make a DWORD esteem and call it AllowCortana. At that point set that incentive to 0 (zero). When you sign out and return, the inquiry box will now read "Look Windows." 

In the event that that is excessively confused, look at How to Share More (or Less) Personal Data With Cortana. 

10. Access Special Symbols Quick

Simply using 26 letters and 10 numerals and a couple bits of accentuation—that is so old school. We live in the emoji world now—yet how would you put those fun little symbols into your content when writing in Windows 10? You can't unless you remember a cluster of ANSI codes... then again you could attempt the fly up console. It's ordinarily implied for use when Windows is in tablet mode, however it's anything but difficult to get to notwithstanding when you're using it with a general console. 

Right-tap the Taskbar in a clear region, and select the Show touch console catch. Another symbol will show up alongside the check in the taskbar of a little console. Tap it at whatever time with the mouse cursor to raise the on-screen console; use your IRL console to reject it from the screen. Tap the additional console symbol at the lower left of the virtual console, and there is a choice to part the console so it shows up at the lower left and right of the screen, so it's more averse to cloud your archive. 


You now have entry to emoji as well as unique characters like the em dash or degrees image (°). On the off chance that you can't discover them, that is because first, you need to hit the &123 key to change to images, then, as on a smartphone, hold down your cursor on the fundamental key to get some extraordinary images—hold down on the hyphen to get em dash and en dash; hold down on equivalents (=) to get non-measures up to (≠), and so forth. Same goes for the letters to get varieties, for example, highlight images over the letters. VoilĂ ! 


11. OneDrive Into the Grave

Like Cortana, OneDrive—Microsoft's response to Dropbox or Google Drive—is incorporated into Windows 10. Firmly. Too firmly. You can attempt to disregard it, however it comes up a great deal. Once more, a registry alter will nix it totally. In the Registry Editor in Windows 10 Home, go to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive (or make it). This key needs a DWORD esteem called DisableFileSyncNGSC—set it's an incentive to 1. At that point restart. OneDrive is dead, however any documents you put away in a neighborhood OneDrive organizer stay put, as do the records you may have on OneDrive in the cloud. They just won't adjust from that PC any more. 

12. No More Notifications 

You either adore warnings or loathe the diversion. The commotion, the popup, it's an excess of when your phone is likely showing the greater part of a similar data. Go into Settings > Notifications and Actions. Kill all the flip switches. Turn them off for individual applications, particularly the ones you find generally irritating. On the other hand tap on the App name in the rundown for considerably more granular control—get warnings from one application on the bolt screen, for instance, however no place else, or kill sounds for everything except one notifier, that sort of thing. Play with the settings to get it without flaw. This is additionally where you can customize the Quick Action catches that show up at the base of the Windows Action Center (the sheet where notices show up on screen)— they give you snappy access to settings like Airplane mode, killing Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or VPN, or making a note in OneNote. 


13. Cool Your Diagnostics 

In the same way as other enormous name organizations, Microsoft likes to get OS input about things like accidents. Be that as it may, when you do a setup and Windows 10 makes a request to "Send full mistake and symptomatic data to Microsoft," Redmond's getting more than you might suspect. In Settings, go to Feedback and Diagnostics—the "Send your information to Microsoft" alternative will probably be set to "Improved." Set it to Basic to send minimal measure of information. 


14. Settle Start Menu/Cortana Issues 

Got tiles and sections that vanish in the Windows 10 Start menu? Does Cortana not fly up when you anticipate? The Start menu would, it be able to turns out, get really gummed up after some time. Microsoft has proposals, yet the best is to use the Start Menu Troubleshooter instrument. Restart in the wake of running it and you're probably going to discover a large portion of your Start menu issues have gone, in any event for the time being. Then again, you can simply dump the Windows 10 Start menu and attempt an outsider choice to make the present OS more Windows 7-esque. For additional, look at How to Use and Tweak the Start Screen in Windows 10. 


15. Get Off the Edge 

Try not to like Microsoft's most recent program? It's more secure and quicker than using Internet Explorer, yet Edge is nothing exceptional contrasted with my decision, Google Chrome. Be that as it may, regardless of what program you pick, you have to make it the default so at whatever time you open a connection, it goes to the program you need. 

Go to Settings > System > Default Apps, look down to Web program and snap whichever is recorded. A rundown will fly up of all your introduced programs—pick the one you need forever. You can simply backpedal to whatever Redmond thinks best later by tapping the "Reset to Microsoft Recommended defaults" catch. 


On the off chance that you get issues with specific connections, you might need to go in and guarantee the record sort (like .htm versus .html) or even conventions (like http://versus https://) are good to go to your program of decision also. Connections to change are on a similar screen in Default App settings. 

Most new programs you introduce will attempt to reclaim the default position when you begin them the first run through, so on the off chance that you speed through a setup, you may need to return to these settings to backpedal to your unique, favored Web program.
