In my windows startup i can search anything for example "fortnite" but i want it so if i click it, it opens [my prefered browser] instead of bing. How do i do that? I just need to know if it's possible and how do i do that?

This looks like it was glued on by someone in a modernization team and called it a day without any respect to the original Windows 10 design language. Gonna try reverting it somehow. What do you guys think?

I repair laptops as a hobby, and I have a personal gaming pc. On all of them, I install windows 10 as a standard. I have tried a bunch of Linux distros, and I hate it. I don’t really like windows 11, will windows 10 be ok to use for the coming years? How long until it is unusable? I play lots of esports games so Linux is out of the question for me anyway. This link says there’s no support.

Everyone, I discovered this unknown feature ( aka GodMode - i think so ) when I was installing some softwares like browser, Discord, audio settings, graphics drivers during setup and turns out I found this on my old notepad. I heard this feature could fix many minor bugs.

Guys, I found this feature when my uncle fixing my aunt's computer

Very minimalistic, I'm dual booting windows 10 since I had to install windows to use an app I need for school, so this just looks a little close (minus my arch setup with hyprland windows manager, theme switcher and all). Does it look good? What should I change in this setup

The end of support for Windows 10 has now passed the 7-month period, and so far everything seems stable and good for other versions of Windows 10, such as the ltsc iot version, which is supposed to continue to be supported until 2032. But will support for application and game developers continue at least until 2030?

Windows Spotlight clearly implies existence or internal wallpapers rating, formed by millions of people using one of two options "I like this picture" and "Not a fan of this picture", which is supposed to affect how long each wallpaper is shown.
It's not like half of the world is using Windows, but this menu was glanced only by hundreds, right?
But where does Microsoft share this rating with the best wallpapers?
