Okay so maybe that's the wrong place to look. I don't have Word or two versions of it to test.

Perhaps change that single entry and see if it changes either one or both entries in the context...

Maybe scan with some other virus...

Just asking. Have you ever used/ installed Aura's Anti-Virus? That's not a suggestion to use it. It's just that someone else had a similar problem when that was installed alongside Defender.

You could backup (copy) the profile folder to a USB stick then uninstall that version then install then get the regular build.

Latest Firefox released for Windows [2]

However if something...

FYI. That is the MS Store UWP version of Firefox. If it's working just leave it alone.

Firefox: the first major browser to be available in the Windows Store

It works fine for me.

Try: Power off computer.
Hard reset router via reset button. Maybe also switch off/ on for good measure.

Try VT site again.

Try another browser.

Try browser with...

Launch Firefox.

Copy and paste this into the address bar:

about:support

Press Enter.

It should list application path (Application Binary) and also profile folder path.

If you research this you will find that it is or was only available in some Windows 10 Insider Preview Builds.

I just go through Tools> Addons

Anyway to save you the bother of trying this method (if you stumble across it) - it does not work. I imported the files correctly but never got a toolbar button.

I tried creating new profiles and selectively adding addons. I was not too successful.

If you always disable the same addons for some browsing sessions then maybe just install FloorP and run it...

I've been using LibreWolf for ages now. Extensions Manager Pro does work for me.


Forget that. It looks nice but it doesn't successfully toggle selected extensions on or off.

Hint:...

FYI.

Chocolatey installs Brave to user's AppData dir - Desktop Support - Brave Community

If it installed there then it won't be updateable and the uninstaller/ uninstall routine won't find it....

It's nothing to do with malware.

That's for AbleWord which I just changed to Ableword 2024 as a test.

The problem happened after using "system restore" to fix another issue. Defender doesn't work correctly since then so I'll use something else until I need to clean install windows.

Try the program "Openwithadd"

It's what I use to add some programs to the right click open with context menu.

It's very strange that I just checked and the office icon has gone. It was there yesterday and I changed nothing in Edge.

Thanks, that does delete the registry key but unfortunately didn't fix Defender. I've installed a third party AV instead which is a shame because Defender has worked well for me for the last couple...

Yes that's what I meant.

I'm still running it but it doesn't disable defender.



That was my thinking but comparing those keys with Ghot's seems to suggest otherwise.

I got it after the last update. I use:

New Tab Start Page

Thanks so it's not where I need to look. No Rep available currently.

So I just reinstalled windows via MCT due to windows security "Unknown"

It's the same after reinstalling windows.

Could someone post what they have in this registry key?

Just an FYI. If you have a backup of your system from before the clean install drivers can be installed from that.
