Hey guys, posted this in the 10 preview thread, but didn't get anywhere with it. I got the rollout notification, figured "what the hell", backed up my 7 environment, and did an in-place upgrade so I wouldn't have to reinstall all my poo poo. Everything is working pretty well, still getting used to some of it... but my big issue is this: all of my Start Menu icons are blanks/generics. Any way to rebuild my start menu icons? The new apps show up fine, but everything else is affected.

Gave that a shot too - the unpinning and re-pinning - with no love. Oddly enough, when I use something like Stardock's Start10 start menu replacement, it loads all the icons correctly.

Jan posted:The Start Menu is managed using a service, with a database and poo poo. That database has been notoriously lovely for me, with fun issues like permanently becoming unable to detect start menu changes, even after a reboot. poo poo. Thanks for this, but it hasn't helped. In fact, things are kinda worse. All my Start Menu folders and live tiles are gone now

Huh. Apparently my keyboard drivers - even the basic stuff - aren't available until I log in. Mouse works fine, thank god.

Logitech G19. The Second screen stuff won't load until the software does in the OS, that's pretty normal, but it's only recent that the actual keypresses aren't loading. EDIT: I just had a thought and I'm going to need to test it. EDIT2: Semi-false alarm! I'd set up a PIN instead of a password because Windows 10 seemed really keen for me to do that. Keyboard was definitely working in the BIOS environment, so I wasn't sure what was happening between then and the lock screen. Turns out the NumLock wasn't automatically set on OS load (works fine in BIOS, though  ), and I was trying to type the PIN with the numpad. Using the homerow works fine.It's still acting weird, because turning on NumLock at the PIN entry doesn't seem to activate the numbered function of the numpad, but that's a lesser worry.

I'm not 100% sure if this was a Trillian feature that doesn't work in 10, or a 7 feature that doesn't work in 10, but I figure someone out there can point me in the right direction. I used to be able to snap my chat windows together so that the edges lined up. I liked how it made things look "cleaner", or at least more orderly. Since I've gone to 10, I can't do that anymore unless I use the "snap to screen edges" functionality, which I kinda don't want to do, because it'll resize the chat windows. Any way I can get this back?

Diviance posted:If I remember right, wasn't that something you had to turn on in the options for Trillian? If it is, I can't find it Edit: Welp, the Trillian devs removed it because it caused problems in 8.1. JohnnyCanuck fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Sep 14, 2015 |

Late, but I still have a lot of people using Facebook chat, and I want to use IRC, so why not have one application handle both workloads for me? Also I like logging in to my old 6-digit ICQ account daily, even if nobody ever messages me on it.

What are you guys using to easily switch audio playback devices on 10?

I've set my region to Canada and my language to Canadian English, but "Cortana is not available" for that combination, even though help seems to indicate that it should be?

Shaocaholica posted:So there are people on ebay selling Win10 Pro keys for $24-30. Is this legit? Not just individuals selling 1 key but people who are selling 100s of keys at this price. If it is legit, where are people getting these keys? If there's an incredible bargain on software on eBay, it's always too good to be true.

Does anyone else have the thing where numlock is turned on by default in the BIOS, but the moment Windows loads it gets turned off?

taqueso posted:After I lock the screen with Win-L, sometimes I will come back and I can unlock the system with just the keyboard. -- I hit shift and the monitor comes on, then I type the password. But other times, there is no response to the keyboard, and I have to click with the mouse somewhere on the screen. Then I can type the password. I would like to be able to unlock the system without clicking the mouse half the time. beejay posted:Same thing for me, there's no rhyme or reason for it either. Do you have a two-monitor setup? because I find I have to move my mouse cursor over the the monitor displaying the lock screen for it to work.

Between upgrades and new purchases, we don't have any accessible systems on our original Homegroup. I want to start a new one... but Windows keeps on telling me - on each system - that a Homegroup already exists. How do I say "gently caress that" and start a brand new Homegroup?

Shut down every single system on the network. Turn on the system you want to make the primary on the Homegroup, and at that point, you'll have the option to create a new one!
