Hello,

My computer just got and installed the win10 2004 update. I have two
questions, first what is this last week and today stuff in file
explorer? I'd like my view back the way it was.

Second, what are some of the new advantages of 2004 over 1904?

Thanks.
Dave.

Dave,

            It wasn't introduced in 2004 specifically, as I think 1909 had it, too, but you're seeing grouping by date and probably only in the Downloads folder.  It should not happen "by default" anywhere else in File Explorer.  If you search the group archive for Downloads and group by or "old order" or any of a couple of other phrases you will find multiple posts, spread out over a long period of time, giving the steps to turn grouping off if you so desire.  My advice is that you do not turn it off for a while and try to get used to it.  I hated it at first, but it didn't take long for me to change my mind since in downloads I'm most often looking for the stuff I've most recently downloaded, and the new arrangement keeps newest toward the top.

            Someone else will have to discuss new changes for 2004 from 1903, as I've been on it so long I have no recollection of 1903 specifics and, to be perfectly honest, most of the "latest and greatest" that Microsoft has been adding to Windows 10 since Day One are things I just don't use.

Hi there friends. So checked the SSD. I cleaned it a bit as wel so now I have 677 GB of 901 GB free. I find the 901 GB thing interesting as it’s a 256 GB SSD. Why is it reporting like this? Shouldn’t it say how much of the full 256 has been used? Or does it not care to report all the GBs eaten by Windows and all the Dell stuff crap or other wize. I just mentioned this because with mine and Bill’s out of memory problem someone said something about you should keep the SSD half empty. So I guess I should according to that keep what ever 256 devided by 2 is free of the SSD. Thanks. Just want to clear all things I myself maybe doing before packing the XPS back up and sending it off back to Dell.

Unfortunately, I'm not trying to be funny.  It is appalling how resistant many members of this group are to doing web searches for simple questions.  And posting the same question, twice, in less than 2 days when the first had no takers does not endear one to the readership.  If someone knows, they'll answer the first time asked.

Anyone who wants to know more about the "Meet Now" feature, which includes its button, should choose the web search engine of their choosing and put in the following short set of search terms:

Windows 10 +"meet now"

When something is this new there are going to be very few end users who can answer anything about it, as it just came out.  I'm among those who know this feature strictly on the basis of what Joseph Lee had posted in a recent cumulative update announcement.  Those who have been running insider builds and the tech press are generally where one gets the best information on a brand, spankin' new feature.

No restocking fee if you return it in the allotted time period. I returned
one a couple of years ago and they sent me a paid return Label. I then
reorder another computer and it is working great.
I can't believe that they would want you to replace the logic board
yourself.

Don't know if Dell is like HP but if you return a laptop there is a
restocking fee which is something like 15 percent of the value of the
laptop.

He suspected that the high ram issue is related to the apps I am running.

I told him that, I am using the same set of apps on a older machine on
2013, and it even cost fewer ram memory.

Then he suspected it may be related to logic board issue and suggested
me to replace the logic board.

I said, if I wait for the logic board replacement, it may exceeded the
7day of return or replace requirement, then I request a replacement.

Hi,

As my old pc has broken down all at a sudden, I bought a new Dell
desktop computer with

8GB ram

Intel 10 generation core i5

250G SSD and 1TB HDD


I found that my new computer will always run out of ram

I simply open a few apps like one firefox, several folders and a
notepad ++

and my NVDA will soon became very unresponsive

According to resource monitor the physical袃ram is around 9x and virtual
ram is also 3xG

I have already manually increased the virtual ram, disabled possible
performance hindering default apps, etc, but the problem seemed not
fixed.

Only today I have already manually forced turn off the computer because
of not responding nvda for 3 times or more, and this is only my third
day of using this new pc.

I feel really frustrated , do any one can give me any useful advice?

thanks,

William
