| 1406233 | 2015-08-09 23:49:00 | Maybe I'm doing it all wrong! Why do we need the Desktop screen? When I open a program or a website from my Start screen, I go straight into whatever program or site I have selected. When I close I go to the Desktop, which I never use. Should I not actually close anything I have opened? Or is there a way to bypass the desktop screen? When creating tiles for the start screen why do many just default to the generic 'e' tile while others pick up the proper logo and colour for the site selected? Is there a way to rename tiles that works? What is everybody else doing, or don't you have these frustrations. |

| 1406235 | 2015-08-10 01:26:00 | I just use the normal desktop like I always have | gary67 (56) | ||

If the site doesn't, Windows uses a generic icon. Of course my website has an icon defined ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||

Got me bluffed. |

| 1406240 | 2015-08-11 00:54:00 | The new Edge as included in W10. The Edge is a work in progress, very few settings and no extensions. Use Chrome, or better still Opera until it is sorted. |

| 1406241 | 2015-08-11 22:47:00 | I have found that you can bypass the Desktop screen and return to your Start screen when closing a program or website by selecting 'Tablet Mode' in the Action Centre located in your Taskbar. Yay! I'm getting W10 the way I want it. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1406242 | 2015-08-12 00:23:00 | I nearly suggested tablet mode, but it seems to block access to the desktop completely and I don't like that (you can still run desktop apps, just can't view the desktop). The instructions I linked should let you set the same behaviour and also keep access to the desktop. Up to you of course. |
