Sr. Citizen Questions (probably dumb and basic, but would appreciate
Hello,
Using Windows 10 as a virtual machine (via the program Parallels) from a Mac.
Not used to the nuances of W10, and am really confused.
Sr. Citizen now, so please put up with some dumb questions:
a. The program(s) listings on the left side continually shows nonsense like Disney, Xbox, etc.
I do the Uninstall, but they keep coming back. Any way to stop them from re-appearing.
b. I don't want Cortana to show, anywhere on my desktop.
How do I eliminate it, it's search box, etc. from my screen ?
c. Where, or how do I install a normal W10 Search box, assuming there is one ?
d. I downloaded zip file for a program I would like to install.
I keep getting msg's that it won't allow me to do this, as I, or the program, lacks
the appropriate "permissions".
How do I get around this, please ?
Is there a global setting, perhaps, so I wouldn't have to do this each time ?
I'm using AVAST. Could they be blocking it, perhaps ?
(but I really get the impression that it is W10 doing the blocking)
e. Where do i find the Add & Remove (for programs) screen ?
f. There doesn't seem to be a Delete function for some of the Folders when I right-click.
Is there a trash, somewhere to delete them ? I don't see any.
Just one more (for now), please. I'm using AVAST. Does AVAST prohibit Windows Defender from working, or do they both function together ? BTW: how do I access Windows Defender; can't seem to find it anywhere.
Much thanks; really appreciate the help,
Bob
