It works great in the Windows Insider preview. Not sure about retail Windows 10. Insider version of WSL even allows the use of graphical Linux apps. It does require a bleeding edge build (Dev...
The problem turned out to be rEFInd, a third-party EFI bootloader that has a number of neat capabilities. Once that was removed, I was able to enable Bitlocker and encrypt my Windows drive.
The...
As mentioned above, I have already enabled TPM in the UEFI.
I recently had to travel, and several times had to leave my laptop unattended. This made me realize how vulnerable it was to theft, so I have decided to encrypt the drive, or at least my personal...
In this case, I want to use my Microsoft account. But, yes, there's a good chance that would eliminate the difficulty. However, I need access to OneDrive and Office365, and davidhk's fix works fine.
It does help. I can now login with my MS password. I missed the ‘sign in options’ link at the bottom of the screen. I had to click that manually to expose the password option, and de-select the...
After logging in with my MS account, I was taken straight to step F. However, there was no "Do this later" button. Hitting Next (the only option) brought me to the PIN entry screen. Hitting Cancel...
I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on a new (to me) laptop. It forced me to choose a PIN during installation, and absolutely would not let me cancel PIN creation, though I tried many times. So I...
In case anyone ever runs into this problem (it seems pretty uncommon), I actually had to manually create my own UEFI "boot profile". I manually add a boot item called "Windows Boot", selected...
I recently purchased a Dell Latitude E6430, which is exhibiting a rather odd problem. I removed the included 5400RPM 500GB hard drive and replaced it with an SSD. The first Windows 10 installation...
Thanks it worked. I was worried about losing several hundred gigabytes of downloaded games, but all I had to was rerun the launcher. I also had to reinstall some drivers, which was a little...
I tried everything up to Phase 3. Before nuking my entire install of Windows, I decided to try reinstalling Office. That worked - for my Office apps. Word, Excel, etc. all start fine now. However,...
It all began when I was trying to get Firefox to open a downloaded Word .doc file. Firefox absolutely refused to realize that I had Word installed. So I did what I usually do when Firefox is...
So this laptop is a bit weird. I can dual boot Win10 Pro and Win10 Home. I booted into Home for the first time in a couple of months, and while it still could not find the update, I was able to...
Ran sfc /scannow three times, with reboots in between. No change. Should I have sacrificed a goat, too?
Also ran Windows Update Troubleshooter twice. Both times it said it found problems and fixed...
The Meltdown patch has not been offered so far for update on my Win10 Pro (build 1709) laptop. It also fails the PowerShell script that MS provided to check if your system is vulnerable. It is NOT an...
Never mind, found the "Outlook account" in general Windows settings instead of the Calendar settings. Deleted it; problem solved. Not sure why I couldn't manage the account from the mail/calendar app...
That's nice, Windows, especially since I don't have an Outlook account. But this annoying message keeps popping up anyway. I have only set up Windows mail with a Gmail account, but it keeps...
This update was failing for me with error code 0x80004005. This fix worked for me EXCEPT I did not need to delete the entire contents of SoftwareDistribution\Downloads. I just stopped the Windows...
