Thanks. Just wanted to confirm it. Guess it's dead to me if that's the way they want to make it.
Wonder if that changed when Facebook bought them. Silly question. Right?

A friend uses Whatsapp from a phone. I'd like to use whatsapp from my desktop or phone to communicate with them.

I have installed whatsapp on my android phone and have connected the desktop. And...

Welllllllll... This Windows 10 machine, with 17134, did not see the other machines on the network, including several Win 10 / 17134 machines, unless I checked the SMBv1 box. Hence my comment. Not...

Yep... Those services were part of it... Sigh... Discovery Publication was stopped. duh.

Also the SMB 1 client was off and things showed up, including other Windows 10 machines, when I turned on...

I've got a mixed network - a few Win 10 machines and a few Linux Mint 18.x machines. Ten machines in all.
File sharing has been working fine, for the most part.

After the recent update, some of...

Thanks. Now that I have the right search term I see that "Hijacking App Defaults" is actually a meme for Windows 10 and from a post in social.technet.microsoft.com I see that MS is aware of the...

Here's what I get in notifications when this happens.

I looked in system event viewer. Didn't see anything that indicated a likely problem. But of course I could have missed something...

I was quite sure that MS thinks this sort of behavior is not a bug, but a feature. This is in keeping with the recent nonsense around the forced Windows 10 upgrades that have been in the news. ...

doesn't mean that you are going to convince me to use your undone applications. My default apps are being reset every hour on my windows 10 systems. And I can't complain directly because I have...

Just did it again about an hour after I reset them.
I need to stop this. Any clue's out there for how to stop this?

apparently there is no way to send feedback with a Local account,.
I refuse to have an account where I log into the cloud each time I use many of my windows 10 systems. :confused:

Have you...

At least I figured out what the installer was. And maybe stopped it.
Choose firefox, for example, and do not check the "Always Use This Program" box.
Then you get this:

I rebooted the system and the box still appeared. It takes a while. I woke up this morning and the box was up.
I put the CD in, clicked the notification and chose "Do Nothing". and took the CD out....

This box keeps popping up. Clicking anywhere else on screen dismisses it.
I used TurboTax to do my taxes yesterday and this box started appearing after I removed the CD.
I can see no way to figure...

Not VBs problem. It's Logitech Unifying Software, Set Point 6.67. After uninstalling that from my Windows 10 system, I no longer get the nonsense flashes.
This software is required to "Train"...

I checked over at the VirtualBox forums and there is no setting. And it's a new feature in VB to save/ restore the setting of Caps / scroll / num lock keys. I don't mind VB doing the save/restore -...

Thanks, but that does not change anything. Virtualbox still causes these things still flash on the screen even though I turned these off.
Also it's very confusing that there are two panels for this...

Seriously? Nobody have a clue or interest in this forum? Odd

Apparently Windows 10, and I don't know for how long before that, has had a feature that when you change Scroll Lock / Num Lock key settings there is a notification that flashes on the screen. I have...

Just tried VLC at VideoLAN - VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS! and it works fine. Someone let Microsoft know please. I have no clue how to do that. Thanks. Enjoy.

OMG that was it!! Disable Legacy mode!!! and don't cross the streams!!!

I have a Logitech Wireless KB / mouse on a Unifying plug. and a wired gaming keypad [Cybersnipa].
Under windows 7 they were a little funny, but I finally got them working plugged into the back of...

Yep. I see that. My problem was attaching the 4TB drive with a USB adapter and seeing only 2TB. When I attached it internally it worked fine. One on each of the two MBs in question. Thanks. I guess...

I just discovered that the ASUS B85M-E mother board system is apparently booting Win 10 with UEFI and has RAID disabled. When I put the 4TB drive inside on a SATA bus it came up fine and I can see...

Just converted my systems to Windows 10. Working well, so far.
I would like to install 4TB disks on a couple of the systems and understand that I need to use UEFI.
Looks like my ASUS P8Z68-U GEN 3...
