Extra Desktop Explorer Puzzle 10 context
This section adds mechanical context so the Desktop Explorer puzzle 10 page stays useful after you solve the gate once — handy for second saves and achievement mop-up.
File names matter more than UI glow. If a video shows a slightly different caption, trust the extension and the menu path (Word Wrap, Source, Properties, Hidden Files, Color Lens filters) over any on-screen watermark.
How this gate teaches the OS
It teaches Color Lens filters and intentional crashes as narrative transitions.
Links to keep open
Keep the walkthrough, passwords, and puzzles hub available. Sibling gates: Puzzle 3, Puzzle 4, Puzzle 5, Puzzle 6, Puzzle 9, Puzzle 10, hourglass.
If the password fails
Verify each filter answer; Walleye comes from Chronolog, not the mural letters.
After you clear it
Accept the crash and open Temple / hourglass next.
