Is there a way in Windows 10 to sync Start screen/menu settings across machines for the same Microsoft account?

Do virtual desktops (Task View, not virtualization) allow audio to be associated with a desktop? Like if I have Spotify in one desktop and switch to another, the audio can pause/stop? I recognize that most people probably don't want that, but is it an option?


VVV bummer, thanks.

I noticed that Edge (which I use exclusively for Netflix b/c there's no other way to get a quality stream) will pause Netflix when I switch desktops. Maybe it will do that for other things.

It doesn’t for YouTube but I’ll check other stuff in a browser, thanks.

Closing all their stores also signals the death of their surface hardware business. With no way to demo it to consumers, nobody will pay the price premium, and big corps want a bunch of support MS doesn’t offer.

LOL. $1.3 billion or more in Surface sales every quarter this past year is nowhere near death.

e: Surfaces will still be sold at big box retailers. The branded retail stores were only contributing a small percentage of consumer sales. Trying to find a link on that.

I use askwoody.com, plus a grain of salt.

Holy poo poo that’s still around? I bought some of Woody’s “Annoyances” books in the 90s.

I posted this a while ago, but if you install enterprise then change it to pro you wont have any adware in the start menu.
Also ssh is built in now so you really don't need putty anymore except for com ports.


I had no idea. Thanks for this!

Your Phone included with Windows 10 does that, at least SMS.

Android only.

Is there a way to choose a custom value for Power and sleep? Like, I want my monitor to turn off after 7 minutes. Not 5, not 10.
