I guess I don't really understand the Public versus the Private settings for one's Network.  For example, my computer is set for Public, which it states it can't be used for printer and file sharing.  Yet I am able to use my printer on both of my Windows 10 machines, and via AirPrint on my Apple iPad. Also, I can share my Roboform logins on my main Windows machine with my other Windows machine.
Can someone find a nice simple explanation?  Thanks!

Hi Larry,

Here's how I accessed the network configuration allowing me to change from public to private or vice versa.

Hopefully, you have the same experience.

Hello All,

I am running Windows 10 Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 (aka Fall Creators Update) on all my Windows computers.
Doing so was particularly challenging for my HP ProBook 640 G1 laptop.  I purchased the machine from WOOT several months ago.
It is a refurbished unit that came with Windows 10 Pro installed.

I created an additional partition on the solid state hard drive and installed Ubuntu 17.10 in that partition.
When I turn on the machine, it gives me the option of booting into Windows (the default) or Ubuntu.
Initially, I was able to update/upgrade Windows 10 normally.  However, the computer repeatedly failed
to update beyond version 1607 (Anniversary Update) despite reassurances from the update dialogue that
my computer was capable of being upgraded.  Updates failed with a cryptic message that I had to restart my computer
to complete the update.  No amount of restarting or whispering Redmond backwards got behind that obstacle.

When all else failed, I told the computer to Reset This PC, opting to keep the data files that I had created but removing all of the programs that I had installed.
Learn how to do that at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options

It was a several step process.  First I had to update the computer to the latest version of the original operating system.  When that succeeded, I kept updating until I finally ended
up with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Hello All,

I recently downloaded a portable app and wanted to be able to launch it from the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Start Menu
Unlike installed programs, portable applications don't automatically show up on the Start menu nor can they be added by right clicking them and opting to add them to that menu.
Here's how I was able to launch a portable app from the Start menu.
1.  Locate the portable app
2.  Create a shortcut to it by right clicking on the file's .exe file and choosing Create shortcut
3.  Navigate to %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs on your computer.
     One way to do that is to simply paste %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs into the Type here to search window
     That window is the one immediately to the right of the Start button in the lower left corner of the taskbar
4.  Paste the shortcut created in Step 2 above into %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
5.  That portable application will now appear on the Start menu.
