That's odd. I checked and on the netplwiz popup the front page is still called User Accounts and the tab Users has a box right at the top to uncheck to remove the requirement "Users must enter...

Today my browser started to show text in different sizes from it had done. I followed the link and tried to change things to get back to the way it did look, but although the website etc text...

I was also very annoyed to find that the Weather app was changed from the one I had been using for years. Especially as there appears to be no way to change it back. The Settings button has very few...

I have own comment (after having come on to some problems initially when going from 7 to 10) is that once Win 10 first opens and you have followed the setup notes, dispense with Skype in favour of...

I use the netplwiz (Run) and uncheck the box under Users and it has worked correctly ever since. You can reverse it of course.

I thought I would give this a go as my list of passwords is getting a bit muddled! But so far I have not found any websites where the "create password" box produces an offer to create one for me.

That rule refers to ad-blocking. My question to start this thread was not about that. I was asking how to stop the new Bing Search behaviour that results in popups appearing when accidentally...

I'll give duckduck a chance first, despite its name!

I should have written webpages rather than websites.

I started using Google Search soon after it started in 1998 and was amazed how it managed to lead me to information very quickly. But some...

So far the lightbulbs are winning hands down! Regulars score a resounding zero.

I never use Chrome because of all the rubbish it adds to websites, and ditto for Google. Nowadays pages are so cluttered up with junk it is a pain trying to avoid it all

Within the last week or so using Bing Search in Edge on Win 10 some of the list of results is now including a completely unnecessary Lightbulb icon and a popup frame. This is extremely irritating! If...

Funny - I hate Android! Nothing but trouble!

A few months ago I needed to replace an old Samsung and in looking around for a basic mobile phone I found information on Nokia having recently re-released a flip phone. As my first mobiles 20 years...

I will pursue this as it could be useful! I made an email account just for the phone, but my desktop email client also checks it as a backup although not the one I used when installing Dropbox.

I have just solved the problem by trying an unorthodox method! I first tried the suggestions in this thread but the only result was that my phone could see both my PC and another phone but not pair...

Using regedit to change the network...

No, the profile name for the network is in the registry. I have now changed it from WLAN5 to CLAN and the network connections map now shows the correct name.

Thanks for help and I will conclude...

I have now removed VirtualBox following the instructions I referenced and that went off without any problems. From dates shown on various installs it appears that an automatic update to BOINC...
