Denis,

I very much appreciate your suggestion, all I can say is that yes, I'm pretty sure this is the official thing.
The official microsoft domain, the official support chat on the official...

Yes, that is what I thought of as well - malware/some deceptive website trying to lure the user into entering their details. NOPE - this is just Microsoft itself being malicious.

I've been in a...

Hello,

My mother was trying to log into her Outlook Mail account in her web browser. It asked her to enter her DoB (which she already set when she created the account, years ago) and so she did.

You know, little by little, nobody will notice or care. It's when drastic, big changes are made - then people protest. It's much easier for them to implement small changes over time, quietly.

I'm sorry to say, but at this point I'm clueless. Maybe someone else can chip in and suggest something?

What do your "Tablet Mode Settings" look like?

From what I understood, the OP was using Windows Photo Viewer. From what I know, that never did and was never supposed to play gifs.

I would suggest moving onto something like nomacs | Image...

I would like to second that, and also recommend VLC to you, it's just a good media player - Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN

Oh, I'm aware of the site - used it plenty of times before! Thank you though

I just figured, DNS servers have no impact of the speed of your connection? Once your computer finds the domain's...

Hello Barry, welcome to Ten Forums!

Would you mind opening settings, going to "Region and Language" and ensuring that you have no other languages than desired, added there?

Also, while there,...

I think I'll pass, I'm not even sure how I would go about that. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something malicious changing my DNS servers. Your guess about the security software doing this was...

I tried changing them to "obtain automatically" and then to the IPs you provided, but they kept defaulting to the previous IP.

Now that you mention it, I do - I am running Heimdal Pro with its...

This is a fresh install of Windows 10.

I used nslookup in cmd to look up an IP of a website. Here are the results:


C:\Users\Username>nslookup www.google.com

Good to know, thanks very much, will be waiting to hear back from you! I do hope that fixes it

After doing some research, I've found very little information on this.

Run SFC Command in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials - someone claimed that running system file checker fixed this issue for ...

It was enabled by default on my laptop, I disabled it after fresh install - maybe that's why I couldn't replicate your issue. Glad that solved it!

The keyboard shortcuts that @slicendice has shown...

For the more artsy types that draw using tablets, I'd recommend Krita | Digital Painting. Creative Freedom.

GIMP is awful for drawing with tablets, it was never meant to be used for that. Whereas...

Hi,

I've been doing some digging on google, and there's not much there on this issue. One topic with no solution, but also another one, that apparently was solved.

Would you mind trying this,...

You said you could access task manager?

You could press the windows key on the keyboard, and the letter I together (win+i) and it should open the settings dialogue allowing you to proceed to...

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you try to run explorer.exe via task manager?

It could also be that, your computer thinks it has another monitor connected and set as main, and what you see...

Here is a wild thought, a silly suggestion - how about.. you don't refresh a two year old thread, and go and find out for yourself?

To answer your question, I think so. It allows you to pick a...

Triliuner I'm sorry to hear it's not as simple as that.

When you have multiple windows opened from a single application e.g. 2 separate windows from Chrome, do they show up as previews when you...

I think a good thing to try would be to reset your monitor's and graphic card's settings to defaults and make sure they are not using any "movie" or "game" or "reading" mode/presets. These days the...

This may be a silly suggestion, but have you tried unchecking "Enable Peek", clicking "Apply", and then checking it again and clicking "Okay"? I've had a similar issue with Folder Options, and...

Oh, a toxic thread with people saying "I'll never use Windows again!" and "I'll never buy from this and this store again".

Yes, there are faulty products, sometimes. Yes, HP may have sold a bunch...
