Has anyone been able to change the ‘This PC’ on the desktop to reflect the %UserName% on %ComputerName% in the Anniversary Update? It appears that one can no longer Take Ownership from ‘TrustedInstaller’. to change/modify the LocalizedString property via RegEdit. Has anyone had any success with the Anniversary Update changing the attribute, as with the previous version of Windows 10 this was not an issue nor was Windows 8, 8.1, or 7.
I have the Anniversary update. When I turn on show number of new notifications, I don’t get the number bubble showing up. I have another computer that has the same version and the little number bubble show up. Any ideas why no numbers on the first computer?

After I received the anniversary update, I had the unread counter over the action center icon. However, after turning my computer on about three days ago, the number no longer shows up. I have toggled the Don’t show me number of new notifications setting multiple times to no avail. How do I get my numbers back?!
