I have Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3. I am trying to use Visual Studio Code. Unfortunately, there seems to be no combination whatsoever where I can run my program.

For the first time since Windows 95, Windows 8/8.1 ceased to offer the "Advanced Appearance Settings", which enabled the following customizations: screenshot of the "Window Color and Appearance" window That is a shame, not only because users lost customization power, but specifically because it made much more difficult for an user to set its own dark-theme version of the system.

I have a room full of machines that I have been upgrading from home to pro (Windows 10). All machines that are NOT anniversary update 1607 can be joined to a domain with no issues. All that are the anniversary update will allow me to join to the domain and it restarts and asks for the useame and password. Put in my credentials and it provides a generic "cannot log you in" error message. I've also noticed lusrmgr.msc is missing (Local users and groups) in all of these 1607 upgrades. The earlier b...

How to configure CIFS that local and domain users have fast transfer speeds? I do have massive performance issues using CIFS / SMB / Samba in combination with users.

Using command prompt, how can I change my Gmail address useame on my local account back to Microsoft. It doesn't let me sign in. You see my Gmail address but when I put my password in, it said to change my Microsoft password to sign in. But it's not a Microsoft account.

I am using Windows 10 (well, the version is irrelevant I believe) and I would like to execute my programs through 'Run' just for convenience. My problem is, where do I look for each software's Run keyword ? For example, to open paint, you can run 'mspaint', to open Notepad++ I luckily figured out you can run notepad++ but what about other processes ? For example, I have no clue how to open Sublime text 3 with Run or paint.net and many other software. If you are willing to help, please also provi...
