Hi All,
been a 'lurker' here for some time and find it being the outmost best + competent site of all in its kind. From here in Sweden, where I live, I am humbly thankful to have access to all knowledge being available, big thanks ! :)
Now, this might very well be OT vs the topic of this thread, however my problems might just be of some insight + poss. more... I'm running Win10 pro/64 on a HP desktop 6200 pro and recently the OS was upgraded to version 1703/OS-version 15063.608. At the updating process, I might very well have made some mistakes in choosing the correct alternatives, and as result I now have a superbly annoying 'process' to get access to (any) website, ie. my Gmail. Error comes up as "INET-E_DOWNLOAF_FAILED" + info to go via Bing to find the page. Doing so, I can type (ie.) 'www.google.se' and from there get access to my Gmail-account, same goes at clicking for a new page and 'Bings' gives (among other) a link to Facebook, which opens fine at clicking. At looking for the error reports, there are numerous error-id 1000, w red exclamation mark, and by checking that it shows the following info:
backgroundTaskHost.exe
10.0.15063.0
0fa14906
biwinrt.dll
10.0.15063.0

Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_1.8.12.15063_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy
CortanaUI
Now, my figuring goes towards the 'culprit' (in my mess) is 'Cortana', as I canīt grip that program being compatible w the (difficult) Swedish language (at all!). Checking the registry, there are numerous 'Cortanas' and my 'wish' is to find a smart solution to a reg-fix that removes all those 'Cortanas' in the register. Would such a 'thing' be doable?
Of course, there are plenty more queries here to [possibly] solve by/via help from this community...
Thanking you in advance, signing
Best regards from the Bestcoast of Sweden.
