Not too long ago I had an issue with GMail blocking access from what it considered 'insecure apps'. There was a setting in GMail options to allow this-once I turned it on the problem went away. I'm...

I'm proofing a document that was scanned & OCR'd. When I click 'ignore all' on a name it appears to work properly-but after a dozen pages or so I notice that the name is again marked as misspelled....
Finally figured out that Autosave & Autorecover are totally different features that perform the same function. Why can't that be explained up front???? You can change the Autorecover location but not...
I have an older (but still Win10) PC I want to give my daughter. I'd like it to enter the new user setup when she turns it on so she can create her own account, etc. But I'd also like the version of...
No answers? I'd think this would be a fairly common problem.
I'm moving from Office 2007 to Office 365 but I don't want to uninstall 2007 until I'm confident in my use of 365. (And maybe upgrade my PC. It seems to me that performance has slowed with 365.) The...
Thanks. I've tried both of those & they don't solve the problem. I guess I'll just have to live with it for now. The problem isn't technical but I was hoping for a technical solution. The problem's...
My default resolution is 1920x1260 but I have one program that runs best at 1260x1028. How can I set it up so the resolution changes when I run that program then changes back when it ends?
Not sure why this was moved to Gaming forum. Sure the program in question is a game but the problem is generic. Maybe I'll repost & see if I can actually get a helpful reply.
Newer version isn't an option.
I have one program (jigsaws) that is simply too small at my normal resolution (1920x1068). Changing my resolution to 1260x768 works but then I lose the benefit of the higher resolution in my other...
A rather large number of years ago I was approached & asked to teach someone 'to use a computer'. This person insisted that he didn't want jargon or theory, his idea was that a computer was a tool...
Thanks. No new hardware so I'll assume it's a Windows update that didn't install automatically for some reason. Unless 'new hardware' might be old hardware on a new port? I've seen that reinstall...
Windows 10 Home installs updates automatically so it shouldn't be that-but the icon is from the Windows Settings app & the message doesn't further identify what updates need to be installed. Any...
Maybe it's my paranoia but I'm pretty certain that MS is getting paid for this 'free' function. Same with Google. We might not pay (other than in frustration) but it's greed that drives any...
This is old enough that I'm not sure others will find this but I finally found the answer. At least part of it and it's got nothing to do with the resolution. The arrow in the green circle is...
Not necessarily. I've had issues on other computers that refreshing the desktop fixed even though I know it wasn't the cause. Taken with my games that do change the resolution though it's a pretty...
So they change whenever the resolution changes? I play several games that muck about with the resolution. I wish they didn't but they do so I guess that's why they're changing, right? Because that's...
Shortcuts used to be indicated by a fairly unobtrusive arrow in the corner. A few days ago they changed to an overly visible white arrow in a green circle in the lower middle of the program icon....
I agree with the answer but not the solution. After a year or two Windows starts slowing down, having more problems, etc. So I do a restore to OOB & presto, it's new again. (Actually I restore the...
Can't & won't are two different things. If it's stored on a Microsoft server then I'm betting that they *can* access it-but I'm also willing to bet that they won't unless ordered to do so (probably...
It doesn't. It appears to contain software to restore from a system image but the image itself must be created separately.
I've never liked relying on a recovery partition so under Windows 7 I'd make recovery disks then, when the hard drive failed, I'd install a new (blank) hard drive, boot from the recovery disks, and...
I found the problem-sort of. I did a 'reset' on the 1st two PCs not understanding that it's not what I want to do. I'll post a different message asking how to do what I want to do.
One of the 1st things I do with a new PC is create & test a recovery drive. This is the 3rd Windows 10 PC I've worked on-all Toshiba Satellites by coincidence. This one seems to have a problem,...
