Thanks to all for the tips and best wishes. I wanted to update MS Office's Word and Publisher, so I 'upgraded' to an economical "OEM Version" of Office 2019, only to find that its Outlook has a...
Now that's a clever idea. I wonder if a gmail POP account could be migrated in much the same manner, converting from POP to IMAP in Gmail first of course. One question, will messages in the primary...
Thanks much for the tips!
I've reached the point of having to abandon my longtime-preferred mail client, Window Live Mail (running under Windows 10.0.19045), and move to the MS Outlook email client. According to what I read...
Oh, my gosh! Good catch, mngerhold. I'm of course sensitive to extra dots in file names, Lord knows how Windows might call up some obscure program to open an inappropriately-dotted file, but I...
Thanks for the tips, guys. I don't think it's path length, a more recent file that's got an even longer path length in a parallel folder opens fine. Just for fun I copied a file that's in the...
Running Win10 Pro, Ver 21H2, OS Build 19044.1706.
This is not a life-and-death issue, just frustrating. I have some files with a .pcb extension that are circuit board layouts. I moved some from...
I'm running Windows 10 Pro, Version 21H1, OS Build 19043.1052.
I've used the graphics manipulation program 'HyperSnap' for years with no problems at all. Recently a new version came out, so I did...
Well, well. This is most interesting, and I have been able to duplicate both the loss of focus and the retention of focus. Here's what I've found. But first I must supply a definition.
What...
Hey, das10, I'd like to better understand that 'focus' scenario you speak of. Seems to me that when my Desktop returns it's ripped 'n rarin' to go. Can you give an example that I could duplicate...
Hey, das10, that works like a champ! I don't lose focus at all, but a Win+D brings back the highlight. Problem solved, many thanks!
Not sure how best to ask this really, but here's the cryptic question in more detail. I'm running Win10 Pro, 20H2.
With my previous version of Windows (Vista), double-clicking a Desktop icon would...
"What a drag it is getting old," as The Stones pontificated. One's memory doesn't get sharper, for sure.
I really don't like the Search utility in Win10, with its meaningless suggestions in that...
That worked like a champ. Thanks for the link!
That fix worked for me just fine. After updating to Win10 Ver. 20H2, Windows Live Mail refused to work properly on any of my accounts, except for Microsoft Hotmail. After the fix, Gmail and my...
Just updated to Version 20H2 and had a couple of problems. The first was solved by a group member, and I'm hoping someone else can help with this one.
I'm running Windows Live Mail (I know, I...
Bless you, Edwin! That did the trick... and this time I'll write it down so I don't forget where to find it. What a great group, eh?
I just updated and am now running Windows 10 Version 20H2, OS Build 19042.746. I put off the last couple of updates before this because of the very problem I'm having now. But rather than roll back...
Nonsense! I am an electronics professional. If I can't figure it out, into the trash it goes! (Actually it is figureoutable, just requires re-learning twice a year. I just have to offer disrespect...
Thanks, pepanee; yes the computer was one of very few things in the house that did NOT require any action on my part. Still can't figure out how to reset that clock radio!
Thanks for the fast service, Samuria. I noticed that the message popped up each time I got new email, and narrowed it down from there to my company's account, which was not accumulating new mail. ...
This is not a specific Win10 subject, but I do trust this group to provide quick and clear answers. I'm running Win10/Pro, Ver 1909.
Beginning this morning, I get this message popping-up on my...
Thanks for that mention of the third-party utility; looks interesting. I have, in the meantime, discovered and run the Microsoft utility: wushowhide.diagcab, which now states that the update is...
I've got Windows 10 on two computers, both currently use Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1016). I've also diddled my registry on both machines to notify me of updates, but not to automatically download...
To Samurai:
Here's what I get when I question the SID thing:
C:\Users\Lab>wmic useraccount where name='%username%' get sid
SID
S-1-5-21-572709066-2931371650-4259622231-1001
Don't know if that...
