I will try to update my other PC which I am a bit nervous because this PC couldn't restart automatically, I have to push the button to shut it down and then push the button again to turn it back ON.   Not too sure this will affect the updating process?  I have try very hard to correct that issue but no....

This PC was installed using English US but I later added English New Zealand to it.  Do you think that I should download the English NZ to install the update?  Or the English US should be OK?

Anyone here to enlighten me on the above?

Cheers.]]>

I can change the login to a pin instead of the password.  
But if I get rid of that it goes back to the password.

I had my music on a memory stick which I put into a folder on my PC. I want to transfer this music onto my Samsung A16+ phone.

I have connected my phone to the PC via a USB cable, but this only showed the drive of my phone and nothing else.

With the help of Google, I eventually enabled "Transferring Files" via Developer Options but I am no further ahead.

Can someone suggest where I may be going wrong please.?]]>

Anyone else getting this?  

Probably it has something to  do  with ad blocks extensions.

Kids & G/kids could not fix it, so got the experts in.

Problem: Outlook got cocked-up and shut us out.

Changed email to GMail meantime.

Expert fixed the problem and co-joined Hotmail and Outlook on the one screen, giving Hotmail the head emails.

Have a build-up of Outlook Inward showing 5 unread messages.

Using the "filter" option doesn't show anything unread in either email titles!.

5 isn't so bad!, after having to read 197 inwards emails.

Thanks in advance,

Any ideas?
Im having this freeze on bootup where the GRUB bootloader is reading "loading initial ramdisk"
A BIOS update is supposed to address this issue apparently, but its a bit of a mystery why my bios revision doesnt match.

The service tag in the BIOS matches the one on the sticker, so its unlikely the motherboard has been swapped out or anything.]]> Whats odd is it doesnt even come up as a valid service tag when i enter it into the Dell page.

But one thing annoys me is the synching:  when I delete an email from the Android phone , it also deletes from my Outlook 2019.

How do I set it up so that it works independently? like, any deletion will not affect the other?

Is it possible, at all?

About a week ago I set up a newly purchased laptop and transferred the data across, etc.
I uninstalled the preinstalled office 365 and reinstalled and reactivated office 2016 with the users current licence.

This was the home and student version so was just word and excel.

About a week later the user called me and complained that their office was not the "same" as before and could not save documents, etc.
Was only letting them save to one drive, I smelt a rat and suspected this sounded like 365 to me, but thought the user could not find the browse button.

I took a look at the computer and low and behold the thing was running 365, but still was listed as 2016 in the apps list.
I was doubting myself at this point, because I was sure I had left it with 2016.

Anyway, I suspected it was an update that did this and I was correct, I thought it may have been a free upgrade with the added benefits until I discovered the major issue here, it only lets you save to onedrive!
Even if i went to change the default save location, this thing pops up with the message along these lines "this free version of word can only save documents to onedrive, please purchase a subscription to unlock all its features"

I was gob smacked, Microsoft has the audacity to "upgrade" your older version of office to 365 which is a subscription based model and then expect you to pay to unlock features you had already paid for.
Anyway, I ended up removing and reinstalling it twice, first to test if the updates were causing this, which I was able to confirm it was, so I had to reinstall a second time and disable the automatic updates in office itself.

My question was why it was running OK on the old PC running windows 10? I didnt see any automatic updates disabled on that machine.
And if its correct that this has been happening since around 2020, then its not a windows 11 thing either.
It also appears its not just the home and student version affected. Am interested to hear if others have encountered this before.
Ive reinstalled older versions of office a bunch of times on newer computers and never encountered this before, or at least never had any users complain!]]>
