    Windows 10 backup mystery


    My wife and I have 2 Windows 10 computers that are, except for the monitors & graphic cards identical. I run Windows backup on our computers weekly. On my computer each backup creates another backup file. On my wife's computer there's just one backup file and it's huge. Any ideas as to why the differences? TIA

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
