My desktop and laptop are now running win10, which I am struggling with after being comfortable with win7 for many years.
I routinely have working documents left open for days at a time while working on them (word and excel).
And of course every-time the system decides it needs to update windows it shuts down all those files and saves them as "autosave xyz". Which means I end up with two versions of the same file with different names and I have to go into file manager to clean up the mess.
Can I set the update day/time to once per month or so? Then I will put that day/time on my calendar and will know to shut those programs/files down a day before updates.
Phone: Samsung S4. Android 5.0.1. Verizon
The status bar at the top of the screen currently has: 4G,signal strength bars, battery percentage, battery icon, and time which stay on all the time. Regardless of what screen I'm in.
I want to add the current date to the status bar. How do I do this?
Thanks
Not sure if you asking a question for Win10 OR your Samsung Phone :h
But I will address a couple of Windows things..
First, even though you have left open documents for years on your PCs that IS a very bad thing to do. The autosave feature for years has been saving your bacon from file corruption or loss..
Consider yourself lucky to have TWO USABLE files!
MS office automatically opens a second copy of that file as a TEMP file which is a scratch file, this allows you to modify and then undo modifications until you decide to save the file..
While what you have done has worked for you, eventually you may find yourself with a corrupted file and all your work lost.
It only takes SECONDS to open a file, so SAVE AND CLOSE your files when done editing.
Second, if you want your 10 Desktop to look and act more like say XP/7 there are free add on programs to fix the 10 mess..
CLASSICSHELL.NET can bring back many of the Desktop features like the Startmenu that MS decided users no longer wanted/used/needed.. And it is FREE.
