If I can avoid it I would prefer to not use Windows 10 built in Mail app. What I want to do is have direct access to my Gmail account via the taskbar and/or a tile. Is this possible?

It's possible, but unlikely. The external drive has been checked multiple times and has always come back clean. All other files and folders are fine and I've been able to copy them to the new...
Yeah, I'm pretty much effed. I have checked numerous sources and that is the conclusion. The big mystery, of course, is how that folder became encrypted in the first place, since I never did it....
Further investigation leads me to believe I screwed up royally. I encrypted one Word file about a month ago. I know the password. But somehow an entire folder has become encrypted, leaving me in...
Yes, I took ownership of the folder and files, but it changed nothing. I checked the unblock button but, again, no difference.
I also just noticed that all the files inside this folder are locked. ...
Samuria, I appreciate your help with this. Thank you. Unfortunately I am still not gaining access even after installing the Take Ownership option. The folder in question has a lock icon on it, as...
I think I have. I have changed and played with every sharing and permissions option I can think of. Just now, for example, I again shared the entire folder. Then when I try open any Word file...
I have ownership of the files.
Ugh. Still battling this issue. Here's some additional details that might help.
I backed up folders and files I needed to an external hard drive, from a laptop...
Migrated all my files from an older Windows 7 laptop to a new Windows 10 machine. The older one was running Office 2013 Pro. I backed up some Word files that were encrypted. No problem, as I have the...
With the recent purchase of a new XPS13, I find myself with an older laptop at my disposal. . .my reliable XPS13, L501X model. It's been a workhorse, problem free, for about 6 years. It's always run...
Thanks, gents. I needed to install that Intel Rapid Storage driver. Once I did, installing 10 was a breeze.
With the 3.0 drive I used Rufus. . .is that a bad thing? On the 2.0 I used the Windows Media Creation tool.
The drive is a 256GB SSD. No expert with this stuff, but the BIOS shows the status as...
Made another Windows 10 installation drive, this time using a new USB 2.0. Turned off secure boot in the BIOS and tried both available USB ports on the laptop. Same results. . .keeps asking me for...
The XPS 13 doesn't have any USB 2.0 ports. It comes with two USB 3.0 ports, and one Thunderbolt 3 Type C.
I don't have any older USB 2.0 drives. I'll grab one from the local Best Buy today and see...
Hi, all. Bought a new Dell XPS13, (9360). Wanting to start with a clean machine, I'm trying to wipe the drive and install Windows 10 from a USB. But I am receiving an error message each time I try: A...
Just prior to the 10016 error is the 7031 error. There are no critical errors listed.
Here's what I'm seeing in the event log after shutting down and then restarting:
Event ID: 256; Source: DPTF (listed as a Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework error)
Event: 7031; Service...
Well, that was easy, Phil. That did the trick. In language even a dummy like I can understand, tell me what just happened.
Hi, Phil. I'm doing what I've always done: slide the cursor to the lower left screen and click on Shut Down. But instead of shutting down the laptop responds as if I hit Restart.
Just tried your...
I have a 5 month new Dell XPS 13 laptop, running Windows 10, 64 bit. It has been running perfectly fine until the other day when I noticed the unit couldn't be turned off as it usually does. I hit...
Done and done. Easier and quicker than I expected. My point of reference is reinstalling Windows 7 on an HDD. . .hehe. Comparatively speaking, installing 10 is lightning quick. Figuring out the...
Mooly, shortly after posting I found the issue. Needed to correct the boot order in the BIOS, (which I thought I had already done). Partitions are visible and should be smooth sailing from here. ...
I enabled Legacy boot and disabled Secure boot. I was able to boot off the USB. That's the good news. The bad news is I have quickly run into an error of some kind when starting the install. I'm...
Mooly, took a look at the BIOS yesterday and it's a bit more involved than I'm accustomed to from my 4 year old Dell XPS 15 laptop. For me at least it wasn't as intuitive and changing the boot order...
OK. Here's where I'm at now. I used Rufus to prep a thumb drive and then installed Windows 10 on it, along with drivers I downloaded from Dell if they are needed. I just need to plug in the drive,...
