When you’re at work, home, or by another Wi-Fi network you trust, you can connect to Wi-Fi to save cellular data and keep working.įree you from outlets with a battery life that goes beyond all-day.
With a cellular data connection, you can be online wherever you get a cellular signal-just like with your mobile phone. Your PC will:Īlways be connected to the internet. Unfortunately, this change doesn’t seem to always stick as Windows may change the option as you download more files, so you may have to check this setting once in a while.PCs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor help you keep working wherever you go. This should have an instant effect (the next time you add files to the folder since the thumbnails are otherwise cached anyway). The fix is to ensure the folder settings for “Downloads” is optimized for “General items”. The problem with this view is that it tries to generate thumbnails for all the files in this folder, even if they’re not pictures. I tried deleting clearing out the folder but that didn’t have a lasting effect.Īfter a bit of research, it turns out apparently Windows 7 (and Windows 8) tries to guess-timate what the contents of the folder are and assigns special “rules” to them to optimize the view settings and sorting.įor some reason, the “Downloads” folder likes to be categorized as a “Pictures” folder (I’m guessing because people store a lot of JPGs in it).
This become quite annoying as I frequently access downloaded files from browsers. In the last couple of months, I started noticing that clicking the “Downloads” folders in Windows Explorer took around 15 seconds to load.
It’s too good not to spread the word about. I don’t usually post “tips” but this issue has frustrated me to no end for many months and I finally found a simple but instant effective solution.
