Good idea,I like windows explorer though ( apart from not have tabs, dual panes etc ) whats the best free one?, I tried free commander, its decent but I prefer the look/feel of explorer

I retract my comment - unfortunately Microsoft Edge still freezes and loses tabs at random, and other Windows Runtime apps are still very brittle.
It continues to amaze we how Microsoft would spend resources on stupid new features and "apps" that no-one really wants, but won't ever fix the fundamental problems that plague Windows for decades. It looks as if they had to give up on their core desktop user base and use their limited resources to pursue Satya Nadella's "Mobile first, cloud first" agenda - unfortunately the first part failed miserably, and what would happen to the second part (Windows Azure/Windows Server) if they also lose the desktop?

new Windows Storage Sense seems to be better than CCleaner at removing stuff and saving disk space.

the new update has been good in my case 'cos it brought back the spell checker -for some reason it didnt work before-, the language packs can be downloaded now -I couldnt download them in the previous version- and some enhancements like the new snipping tool or Storage sense are fine.
What I don't understand is why they removed the brightness slider from the battery options, 'cos now in order to change the overall brightness of the screen you have to go to Settings-->Display and it was easier before.
Unrelated question, but is there anyway I can sign into my google account on the PC with my phone? eg like with whatsapp I just scan a q-code on the PC screen with my phone, instead of typing a password on the PC everytime.
It seems like it would be quicker and prolly more secure (no keyloggers for example)

yes I have 2fa, Sure I dont need to log in again usually if I dont log out, but Im talking about where I log out of the PC and then come back again and I want to log in again, I would prefer to just use my phone instead of being forced to retype the password again which is a bit unsafer, as more times I type = more chances someone is gonna see it
yes open a browser on your phone and go to https://www.google.com/gmail/
how does that help?, perhaps you dont understand what I want?
Oh but its very possible see what I wrote about whatsapp. Maybe you dont use it? If not heres how it works
1. PC go to browser log into https://web.whatsapp.com/
2. scan the Q code on the PC screen with your phone
3. Viola logged into whatsapp on the PC without typing a password
I want the above but with google account instead of gmail
That's not what he's asking. He wants to authenticate from his phone whilst logging in on the PC.
Found another change in behavior. I have been using a DVI to HDMI cable with my TV for over a year and have had HDR working that way. But now HDR will not enable unless I use straight HDMI.
The reason for the adapter is I also run a HDMI cable to my old receiver for audio. If I use the HDMI connection for the TV, there is no image during boot because the DVI connector has priority.
