Just a thought ... I have Spybot Anti-Beacon installed and it disables most of Window's telemetry. I've decided to disable its protections to see if important info about my system is being blocked...
Yes I'm always careful to make a disk image before playing with my system and fwiw I prefer Paragon Backup & Recovery which also offers a free version. I might just have to upgrade manually if it...
Is the May 2020 upgrade (2004) being widely released via Windows Update or is it something that mostly being installed manually? Friends have asked me about the "Windows 10 will reach end of service...
Yes indeed, you were in the ballpark.
That's probably great for people who are reasonably combortable using a computer, or one I would have access to. But these days I'm helping folks in...
IT'S FIXED - IT'S FIXED - IT'S FIXED - IT'S FIXED !!!! :-)
Port 443 is apparently the one that all https secure web traffic goes through, so even though I did check if it was open (thanks for...
Thank you Dalhchina for your suggestions :-)
How can I check if port 443 is open?
fwiw I already tried the Powershell Get-AppXPackage thing a long time ago without success. I do have updates of...
Yes I've read the various reports that there's no real way to 'reset/reinstall' Quick Assist. For now I'll just switch users on my desktop system when I want to help someone remotely. For that I...
Actually it was me who created the new user on one of my systems that doesn't work with QAssist. That was a suggestion I found on a Microsoft support forum. But unfortunately I suspect the people who...
I've provided computer assistance to numerous folks who are in isolation due to COVID-19 and can confirm that only the person giving assistance needs to have a Microsoft account. All that's needed by...
If anyone can offer any help is solving this problem I would be very grateful !!
Has anyone figured out why Quick Assist will load and run just fine on some PC's while on others a rotating...
Cumulative Update KB4501375 Windows 10 v1903 build 18362.207 - June 27
"Addresses an issue that may cause Night light, Color Management profiles, or gamma correction to stop working after...
I notice the same issue on my Lenovo laptop but find that simply logging off and on will fix it (until the next cold boot). It's faster than doing a full restart. The Night Light feature is also...
Might be a 'new feature' as I just had an old system running Win10 finally get the update and it too did the same thing. Just came back to this thread as I forgot how I got it to stop ;-)
There is a Windows Defender User Interface entry in the Startup (Task Manager -> Startup) that I simply set to Disabled and that stopped it from popping up every time Windows 10 loaded.
Can't...
I did a check in the Task Scheduler and there's nothing suspicious in there. Ran system file check (DISM.exe and sfc /scannow) which found no errors nor integrity violations. Stopped and restarted...
Of the 3 systems I upgraded only one continues to display the Defender Control Center at boot up. When I get some time I'll do some of the recommended checks and remedies to see if it makes a...
All's green here too. I'll check the Task Scheduler but I really doubt there's anything there as the 3 systems I updated exhibited the same thing when the update was first done and the system booted...
(I'm not sure if this is the best section to post this.)
After updating 3 systems with Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update (1709) Windows Defender Security Center displays whenever Windows launches...
Pulled the battery and it boots fine. I'll have to see if any new messages appear. It actually looks kind of 'sporty' with the gap behind the keyboard. THANK YOU for the workaround ;-)
I'll have to see if it boots without a battery. If so then I'll have to whittle a prosthesis to fill the gap.
My old Lenovo laptop is now used only to record TV shows off an antenna and is always plugged in. The battery died from old age a while back and I get a Lenovo warning message in Windows 10 every...
I'm strongly suspecting that it's an Adobe issue as the CC version of Bridge does not exhibit this behavior. Instead it extends and covers over the top of the Taskbar completely when put in Full...
After updating to Windows v1607 some of my apps (like Adobe Camera Raw in CS6) are tucking part of their full-screen mode UI window beneath the Taskbar.
Previously the top of the Taskbar would be...
Thanks :-)
Yes, the volume UI can still be reverted to the previous using Winaero Tweaker. But that same tool has removed the clock option as I assume it's been completely removed by MS. It will...
