Windows 10 Fall Creator's update disables... this select quirk (side note: what is this called?)

So to run a long story short Fall Creator's update ruins one incredibly tiny but important to me feature that drives me up a wall with its removal to the point of almost ruining this laptop. The ability to select things in list view with the selection box essentially by the length of file name. That is to say, when multi-selecting, items with longer filenames will be selected, and shorter filenames will not, when using a box to select things. I've attached an image below of what I mean. My question is: on the latest version of Windows 10, is there any way, third party or otherwise, to re-enable this behavior? It's literally the only thing stopping me from keeping windows update on.

As a side note, I know this behavior has a name as I've searched it up before but I can't for the life of me remember what that name is. If anyone here knows, I'd love to know so I can do my own digging if things fall up short.

Note that only certain items are selected, whereas in the windows 10 fall creator's update it treats the entire line as the bounding box for selecting things, rather than the physical length of the filename. Seems minor, I know, but I use it so much that I can't work without it.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
