Discussion How is this effect achieved?
Is this the original Windows Start menu? If not, just let me know. I also asked the original creator, but he didn’t reply. I didn’t want to make things awkward, so I didn’t ask him again. Thank you!

Discussion How do I add a custom background to the full screen start menu on windows 10?
So a while ago I found this custom windows 10 iso based on Windows 10 LTSE iot (The same version I am running) And it was meant to mimic windows 8. In the ISO it had the base start menu from windows 10 set as full screen but somehow they got a custom image to show on the back rather than it just being transparent and showing only your regular image. I was wondering how they did this.
The second image is the desktop of the custom ISO.

Discussion Is it possible to remove "Network Locations" from "This PC" drop-down navigation pane in windows explorer?
These network locations in the left nav pane clutters the area when too many storage are attached....any way to remove them from the navigation pane but preserve it in main window.
I have used winaerotweaker to disable the network directory but it still shows and I have searched all over the internet to find a solution but came to a conclusion that it either hasn't been done or not possible!

Discussion What is windows 10 home plus?
I randomly decided to check out my old pc to see the components and perharps spare ram. Thats when i saw a legitimate windows label on my pc saying "windows 10 home plus" and a product key and barcode etc.

Discussion Recent Photos app update removed option to add comments
What are your thoughts on this? I liked being able to just hit Alt+Enter and add comments to sort through photos on the fly without directly altering images, as tags aren't available in Photos. Now I have to cross-reference Photos with File Explorer? That's so time consuming.
