I have a Dell laptop too. For Dell specific problems I use Dells own support forum which is very good. Dell Community - Dell Community

I just had another international call from "Microsoft" who were concerned that my computer had been "hacked". After some time waiting for my laptop to start up the scammer asked me to press windows+R...

So does this mean I don't need Dell's bios update to fix the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerability?

Microsoft support says "These events can be safely ignored because they do not adversely affect functionality and are by design. This is the recommend action for these events." Why do they not...

The scammer wasn't very happy when after a few minutes I told him I was using Linux Mint.

I have a Latitude. They are designed to be user servicable. They come apart with relative ease, making component replacement easy.

Click OK and then some stuff will be missing, like Threat History and Scan Now button. Which makes sense if you are using third party AV.

I have Bitdefender. This is what it does to Defender Security Centre.

This didn't work. I still get the error.

Every time I log on I am redirected to a page that asks me to set up a PIN. There is no option to refuse, only a "remind me later" button. I don't want to set up a pin. I can remember my password...

When we eventually get the "spring" creators update and it wants to create a Windows.old folder on your notebook then you have a problem.

No. but I still have a old desktop with Windows 98se. It works brilliantly with no BSOD "fatal exception". Used mostly for retro gaming.

I would just like to say how extremely well Windows 10 runs on this Dell Latitude.

S**t. How can I stop it installing? FCU wrecked my old HP laptop. I would at least like to wait a few weeks in case of any problems.

They mention that the display is bluish so unfortunately it is a feature not a fault ! :(...

Hello again,

Go to colour management again and click on advanced tab then "calibrate display" button. Keep clicking "next" untill you come to "adjust colour balance". Move the blue colour slider...

It's a Gigabyte Brix with a bios that chooses between W7 and W8.1. It is set to W7 and wont accept the upgrade. But it is nice to have a W7 machine anyway. I will just try to get rid of the annoying...

Since 2015 this has appeared when I open Windows update on an old W7 desktop machine. The upgrade always crashed. Now this notice wont go away.177721

If no icc profile works I can only suggest you check the screen cabling connectors. The fault is specific to the laptop screen as plugging in a TV works OK.

Make sure you have ticked the "use Windows display calibration" on advanced tab.

Windows 10 version 1709 should have Control Panel- Colour Management. At least mine does :confused:
