1409691 2015-10-12 14:35:00 Two things I'd like to address with my Windows 10 use. First, there seems to be only two themes available 'light' and 'dark'. I'd like to have more choice. Second, Windows Edge opens in either full screen or a predetermined small window. I'd like it to open in the same window size that I had when I closed my last session. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. BrotherDragon (10117)
1409692 2015-10-12 19:30:00 1st - The Light - Dark , that's it. Theres nothing else at the moment.
2nd - Resizing, there are problems with the RTM/ General release version Build 10240 from July 29th not holding the last size, some have problems some don't

( see my Sig :) ).

I'm currently using insider Build 10547 and the Edge resizing stays at the size it was closed at.

Edit: just upgrading to Builds 10565, so will advise if any changes once its done.

1409693 2015-10-12 19:31:00 The one thing that irks me with win 10 is several times a week when i click on a link being asked what web browser i want to use. Pre win 10 I just told that browser that it was the default one and it was done but not now it appears.. paulw (1826)

@paulw. Have you set default browser in Settings/System/Default Apps?

Doesn't happen to me, Firefox is the default and it just uses that. I might have had to set it as the default browser from the new settings screen though, I seem to recall the browser offering to set itself as default didn't quite work.

1409696 2015-10-12 21:12:00 I use Opera 32 as my default browser and it's shown as this in the default app area.. paulw (1826)
1409697 2015-10-12 21:20:00 My annoyances are
1. Occasionally the shortcut icons don't work and this requires a restart to reactivate them.

2. Programs (unidentifiable) are preventing a restart and I have to wait until Windows closes them anyway.

Anyone else get these problems?

I get number 1 sometimes though not number 2. .

Performed Windows update but now Edge opens in full screen and resizes to a small box. BTW how do I find out which version I'm running?
