Thanks. I just tried that and after creating a local account with the username 'amagha', then logging back into the MS account, there's no change to the folder in C:\Users:

I'm logging into my Win11 (version 21H2) with my MS account. I noticed it created a user account folder for me:

C:\users\amagh

My typical usernames are 'amagha'

I went into netplwiz and...

I've got it on my list to research this weekend. Thanks.

> - a System Restore point created before this happened? (I have one created daily on schedule- tutorial available)

I'd love a pointer...

Thanks for the suggestions dalchina.

BUT... I just figured it out. I mentioned above that I thought this had something to do with me attaching an external display. Turns out that was the culprit....

I'm having an odd problem that when I search for native (!) Microsoft apps from the start menu, the result presents with a broken icon. I say "native", because this happens with "Settings" and...

I wanted to provide an update on how I resolved this issue: I had to create a new user account, move over all the files in the user's folder, and delete the old account.

dalchina, thanks for the suggestion.

I tried your blanket option, and that didn't work.

I filtered per your suggestion:

246785

However, it seems there are no settings for that filter:

This makes sense and explains why I don't see some programs in the kids' start menu but I do in mine.


I went through and tried all six suggestions in the tutorial, including reseting and...

Yes, internet is accessible. The Store window opens for a seconds, and then closes. I assumed this was somehow related to permissions.


That works for Irfanview, but what about another dozen...

I'm having this same issue. I posted about it here (in this forum).

I upgraded to 1903 yesterday and after that, web search is no longer working for me. It was enabled before the update but...

Yes.

It's not just the calculator that's not working.

If you type "los angeles weather", it used to show the weather in the right pane and doesn't do that any more either.

Thanks RichardC. Tried that w/o any luck unfortunately.

Thanks RichardC.
I'm running the same version: 1903 18362.145. I'm guessing that means there's got to be a setting to control this.

In Settings, under Search, do you have these same options...

So is the functionality that was there for math and basic search (weather, dictionary words, etc.) is gone?!

In the past, you used to be able to do simple math or web searches in Cortana (when search and Cortana were one) and have the results show up in the right hand side of the search pane.

However,...

I've given that a shot, and it doesn't have an effect. Music audio and comms audio still go through the external speaker.

I have 64-bit version of W10.

My assumption is that for communications--send/receive calls--I could use my headphones while letting music play on my external (or laptop) speakers.
