| 1420998 | 2016-05-27 06:22:00 | I wasn't the earliest adopter of W10 but I would never go back now to any earlier version of Windows. Sure, there was a bit of a learning curve with W10, but now it is pretty well instinctive. I have had no problems with either of our machines, and have difficulty understanding why anyone would want to remain with XP, Vista, W7 or W8, some of which were good OS's. But W10 is better. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1420999 | 2016-05-27 07:05:00 | I cant find a favourites folder. It will save to favorite bar though. I'm using Edge on win10. Saved favourites go to the favourites folder, same as in win7. |

| 1421002 | 2016-05-27 09:47:00 | Nope Windows 10, or more to the point EDGE, doesn't store favourites the same way as IE does. IE will Still save them in the favourites folder under your user name folder, but Edge saves them in a single file. To get to it press the windows Key +R which opens the run command,type ( or better still copy/paste) this path and click OK %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8w ekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DataStor e\Data\nouser1\120712-0049\DBStore\ There will be a data base file called spartan.edb That's your favourites. |

If I can make a suggestion, disable one of the settings that causes the black screen with cursor on bootup. Turn off Fast Startup www.tenforums.com a HIGH % like 90+% of all computers that have the problem, with fast Start disabled it boots normally straight away again. If you have the problem then you have to boot into recovery mode and manually edit the registry, so its easy to do it when Windows is running normally. Got a laptop that was dropped off today here now, some crowd in town had a look at it and said it needed a fresh install -------- Wanna bet :nerd: Had it going in a few minutes after disabling fast start in the registry, NOW to clean out all the crap ;) |

| 1421005 | 2016-05-27 22:32:00 | Sorry, my mistake on that. I use both IE & Edge, so have the same favourites saved. |

| 1421006 | 2016-05-27 23:43:00 | Quite easy to find, then, WT!! Yeah of course :p LOL. I learnt the first part of the path to "Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8w ekyb3d8bbwe" A while back, its the contents in that folder that needs to be deleted when fixing Edge problems crashing etc. Sorry, my mistake on that. I use both IE & Edge, so have the same favourites saved. You're not wrong Driftwood, the favourites are still in the user folder for IE, just edge is different - and with two Microsoft browsers with a big blue e it can be easy to get the other one. That's why I changed mine to purple, but also use it from the Dock not the taskbar. |

| 1421007 | 2016-05-28 05:50:00 | wai,, interesting last paragraph!: If anyone wants to use W7 still, that's their choice, but DON'T complain when support is no longer available, new hardware wont work, and when the Computer dies they are forced to change and the learning curve will be huge --- I'm looking forward to saying -- told ya so. XP on this dung er, W8.1 on lappy and W10 on wifey's, most software seems to flow on up to W10, some of the MS word, excel etc are more bloated with pretty things, but the basics are more than enough for everyday users. Wifey, having trouble with: logging into W10: fixed. Num lock not showing on startup: fixed through the R/H power button provision. She loves the weather app tho, rofl. lurking. |
