    file explorer window keeps resizing to very small

    that's pretty much what I alluded to in the previous post - sadly it does not "stick" and every so often goes back to the tiny size. Oh well.

    file explorer window keeps resizing to very small

    Hi, but I am not sure what you mean - what settings are there for the file explorer size? I know it is meant to remember the last size and position, but that seems to get ignored and reset back to this tiny version from time to time

    file explorer window keeps resizing to very small

    There is a bug in file explorer where the window resizes to very small as a default ever so often. This is not something I am deliberately doing - I never deliberately make the window that size. The window now opens tiny and resizes from full screen to tiny if I drag it between monitors. Any...

    I'm now convinced that Edge is not ready

    It is quite amazing how a huge company like MS have been unable to get a browser working without significant errors - the first release was terrible and even now there are problems with the settings not working satisfactorily - eg for me opening a new tab has Edge try to load msn.com even though...

    Windows 10 Terrible on Tablets!

    I bought a surface pro 3 with a dock - the only time I've splashed out and bought what I thought would be high quality hardware. Win8 was okay but 8.1 really set things on a good track. I couldn't believe all the ridiculous press about how awful it was. But Microsft obviously did and now I have...

    Why did my External HDD stop working after upgrading to Windows 10 Pro?

    I use a surface pro 3 in a dock most of the time. It 'loses' external drives all the time. I have to unplug and plug them back in, maybe restart as well. Started with win10, was fine with win8.1

    page auto reloads when changing tabs

    yep - I have a thread on this - Edge not retaining state - it worked for a bit and then becomes pretty much unusable for multiple tabs. I would much rather MS had waited until Edge worked

    Windows 10 may be the OS responsible for killing piracy

    given my experience with Win10 on my surface pro 3 (with dock) I'd say win10 needs to make a lot of improvements before it has much success. The current enthusiasm (which I shared) will lessen enormously if the longer term experience is like mine and people move to other systems or just back...

    Windows 10 + Surface Pro 3 = Disappointment

    couldn't agree more - I had high hopes for win10 on my pro3 but it has not been good at all - Edge is probably the worst browser experience I've had (and I go back to Mosaic) - and with the dock it is even worse. I hear a lot of talk about October for a major update but if the system is not...

    EDGE thinks links are something to download

    From time to time Edge thinks a link I click on within a page needs to be downloaded rather than opened. So a dialogue opens at the bottom saying running security scan then asking if I want to view it then if i say yes a dialogue opens asking me what program I want to use. Checking against...

    How do you get Edge to retain state in tabs?

    Nope- it is broken again after being open for a while. Hopeless experience with win10 so far on a surface pro3. I'll be giving this a go until the major update that is meant to be coming in October, but if the experience stays this poor I will be selling the Surface and getting a macbook air...

    How do you get Edge to retain state in tabs?

    Re: How do you get Edge to retain state in tabs? FIXED I deleted the hosts file suggested in another thread and Edge is now working well and as expected - still uses more memory than Chrome, but is retaining state and very fast

    How do you get Edge to retain state in tabs?

    Re: how do you get Edge to retain state in tabs thankyou but that cannot be the problem - or if it is then it is a problem caused by the browser. I am running win10 on a surface pro3 and even with only edge running there is the problem. Chrome with lots of other programs in the background -...
