Outlook Icon of the Start Page

Hello, now when I want to have a program on my Home Page in Windows 10, I go to the left-side of your tiles, near the top, I think it is the small icon third down from the top, and place your mouse marker on it. You will soon see that it says All Applications. Click that and all the Applications or programs that are installed on your computer will appear in lines. Now if you place your Mouse Pointer on the one you require and click it, the dialog box that appears will ask if you want to place that Application on your start screen, or your Task bar, you will just click it and it will then go to the desired place, or if you want to remove it you do exactly the same action. Hope this helps.

How do I download bitlord onto my pc

The official download link is below.However I suggest that you don't use it to download pirated material. Illegal Bit torrents are the primary method for criminals to install malware on your machine. BitLord the easiest torrent downloader If this is your intention...I look forward to your question on how to repair your operating system, why your bank account, games or girlfriend/boyfriends accounts have been compromised, or why your computer is suddenly running slow.

Half the screen is black

The white dots are most likely to be failed pixels in the LCD screen. When the picture elements fail, they switch to clear and what you see as white is the backlighting. The overheating issue in laptops is generally caused by dust and fluff blocking the cooling fins and ducts or a failed cooling fan, but it could also be caused by a hung process which runs the CPU at a high processing speed. Press control (CTRL) ALT and DEL and look at the task manager and see if you can see any processes that are running constantly near or at 100% to eliminate this being the problem. The failing display is unlikely to be related to the overheating issue.

Why will my surface tablet not turn on?

If you mean that nothing happens at all when you push the power button along the edge of the device then the battery is dead or the device itself is defective. If it is off and you are just tapping the Windows button or using the keyboard to try to wake it then use the power button to turn it on first. It will sleep after idle for a time and can be awakened by the keyboard or the Windows key. Hope that helps...

How do i get my RT to boot

Here are the steps to go back I factory setup. It will remove everything personal you have on the Surface - photos, docs, etc. They will still be in the Share drive if you utilized it for storage.
  1. Restart the device made for Surface.
  2. Press F8 during the initial BIOS post to bring up the Advanced Boot Options screen.
  3. On the Advanced boot options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter.
  4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
  5. Type the user name and password of an administrator, and then click OK.
  6. Under System Recovery Options, select Reinstall Windows. This option will restore Surface to the factory image, and any customized user information will be lost.
  7. When the restoration of the factory image is complete, the device made for Surface will restart, and the setup process will begin. This process is identical to the first time you set up Surface; you will be guided by a series of prompts and dialog boxes.
One more note - if you deleted the restore folder to save drive space this will not work. You'll need to take to tech support. Good luck.
