    Sometimes windows media does not support certain media files therefore windows will automatically pick the most suitable program to open that file. In your case, you can right click on the DVD/CD drive and choose play with/ Open with windows media player. To make DVD player play automatically using windows media play, you have to manually set the default apps as shown above. The main reason being that windows media player is no longer the default media player in windows 10. Currently it utilizes the new generation media player capable of running most media files with new interface and features to suit the new changes that was made during the major update.

    To get the best out of windows 10, new features were introduced which are not only user friendly but advanced for better experience. In the same way you can still make use of your favorite media player by adjusting settings to enable windows media player as your preferred playing tool for DVD or CD.

    For now google Chrome does not have that option under chrome://extensions/ and they must be working on it. Extensions helps a lot to add features to our browser based on our preferences to make our browsing experience fun and smooth. These extensions are customized according to the intended purpose. They include IDM integration module, Adblock, uTorrents  among others. The reason behind not including remove all extensions properties is because they most people can only install a few important extensions to serve them over a period of time and thus it can be easily removed one by one. The only way of removing those extensions if they are too much is resetting your browser to default of which is not a good idea.

    We hope some changes will be made in future updates to fix this issue and make work easier to remove those extensions with one click. The same applies to such engines, the research shows that most people prefer to use google as their default search engine a clear indication that few people are likely to install other search engines. For now the most common search engines are very few therefore they are focusing on making their own better and encouraging people to use.

    Let us hope for those changes in the coming updates to make it more convenient to remove extensions or search engines with just one click.

    It is a display issue most probably with LCD or Display settings. To get the best out of your screen, make sure the Graphics driver is installed and updated and choose the recommended display settings for your computer. If the problem persists it will obviously be the LCD monitor or connecting cable. This problem is very common for dell users. Kindly use an external monitor to check the difference. This way you will narrow down the solutions and get the best out of your laptop. Dell LCDs have always been one of the best in terms of clarity and display quality. If the problem is still the same, consider replacing your LCD or the cable connector.

    To update your display driver, go to device manager, by searching or press Windows + R then type devmgmt.msc then hit enter button and navigate down to Display adapters  and right click on your display driver and click on update driver.

    Well basically you can rename any shortcut in your desktop as long as you have administrative rights. For the error: 8072 is missing, it means the data for that application has been deleted with only the shortcut remaining. To check whether the data is still available, Right-click on that shortcut and choose Open file location. From there you can validate the integrity of that application data. If the data is available then go ahead and rename it inside the root folder.
