I've been using Windows 10 for a few days with no problem, and working mainly from the desktop view. But now I can only get the new view with the tiles (pre-selected useless ones that Windows thinks I'll find useful).
In the past, you could change the look of this type of "app" desktop to what was called "Classic View"--which is what Windows desktop used to look like before Windows 10... using icons, a "My Computer" icon in top left corner, a "Recycle Bin" icon, etc., whatever icons you wanted to make.
When you say to bring back the classic Desktop, are you seeing square tiles instead of the normal Desktop? If so, you are in Tablet Mode and just need to switch back to Desktop Mode: Press the Windows Key + A to open the Notification Bar If you cannot see the Tablet Mode button, click 'Expand' Then click the Tablet Mode button .
1. Press “Windows + X ” and go to “control panel”. 2. Click on “Ease of access center” and click on “Choose high contrast theme”. 3. Under “High contrast themes” check whether any option is selected, if selected then I suggest you to select any option under “Windows Default themes”.
Tablet mode makes Windows 10 more touch-friendly when using your device as a tablet. Select Action Center on the taskbar (next to the date and time), and then select Tablet mode to turn it on or off.
I am not sure what happened, but all of a sudden my PC (HP Spectre 360) has the Windows 10 "Tile View" when previously I had a desktop view (and start menu) like old windows versions. I cannot for the life of me recall how I got rid of the tiles. I have tried the Windows Icon button and tab, shows my different apps I have up.
Press Windows +A keys simaltaneously on the keyboard to open the action center. On the lower half, you would see a Tablet mode tile. Click it and you should get the traditional desktop back.
I just installed Windows 10. I am tired of the desktop view, but my computer defaults to that. I just want to see the tiles view, and perhaps recently used items, when I log in.
Hi TC. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you. Right click the desktop to choose View > Align Icons to Grid. Drag them to the left to where you want them positioned. Hold the Ctrl button and roll the mouse wheel slowly forward or back to the size you want. Or use the + or - buttons.
In Windows 10 the basic opening screen is the desktop. To see your start screen you click on the windows icon on the taskbar. If you are in your browser or a program and want to see the menu(the tiles) just click on the windows icon on the taskbar. See what you want, click on it again and it will take you back to the last opened program or browser.
