This is something that's annoyed me through all the versions of windows, and with Windows 10, I'd hoped Microsoft had finally fixed it. They haven't. There is always only one resolution for the boot animation, but the three predominant display aspect ratios are 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10. Whenever there is a mismatch, you get a distorted boot animation. I've wondered if there wouldn't be a way to fix this, and googled up the information that people apparently edit "bootres.dll" with resource hacker like applications. The primary concern however is to infuse custom boot animations (e.g. that of a playstation booting), rather than to do something relatively simple such as changing the resolution. I've struggled to find any info on that. I hope it wouldn't mean to manually crop the Windows10 animation to be suitable for 4:3 displays (as is my case). Is there maybe someone here experienced with this? Many thanks

You can bring up the action centre by clicking on the notifications icon in the systray. Attached is an illustration of what I would like to have. Thanks for ideas.

Would anyone know if you can list the Windows Update History in the Action Centre? Thanks.

Yes, that's why I was asking for help on a custom way. But interesting to know about the OS.

Samsung SGH-F480V Do you have any ideas?

It's a Samsung phone from ~3 years ago. How do I find out its OS?

Unfortunately my phone is slightly aged and doesn't have any text exporting options. I found a way to save texts to a file on my computer though, for example in an excel sheet, without losing data like timestamps and sender/receiver infos. As I would like to avoid simply deleting old texts, I was hoping I could find a way to export the contents of this file to GMail. Does anyone know a trick that would allow one to import text messages into an email client, from a file such as xls or even just txt? One could then use IMAP to move things to GMail. I've played around with Thunderbird but it doesn't seem to allow importing messages from a file. I don't have Outlook. Maybe can someone tell me if it will be worth looking into for this? Thanks a lot for suggestions.
