windows 11 Google Meet | Family Safety | No Camera & No Microphone
by Guest Scott P Huntley- 0 replies
- 14 views
I am using Microsoft Family Safety on my daughter's Windows 11 pro computer. We are using Edge to enforce content filtering. However, she needs to use the suite of Google apps for school. Currently there is only one app that is not working properly. That app is Google Meet. When running Google Meet on Edge, the microphone and camera are not available. I have tried to allow specific sites permission but nothing is allowing it to work. If I log her off the computer and log on as myself, which is not being monitored by Family Safety, I have access to the microphone and camera. Continue reading...

- 10 views
In real life, I am the administrator on my standalone PC, the only person ever to set it up, install updates or change any settings at all. I today receive the message "This setting is managed by your administrator". How do I become administrator? NB the countless previous responses on Microsoft Community refer to options or folders that don't exist in December 2024. Continue reading...

windows 11 KB907417 Update Error
by Guest Joseph D. Yuna- 0 replies
- 6 views
Having the original licensed Office 2003 and only adding to the Windows 11 Picture Manager which is far more useful and less cumbersome than the follow-on MS Imaging support apps, I still get the Office 2003 verification update message for D/L. Unless one installs the entire Office 2003 message, the error either persists or in installs the complete 2003 Office (other problems if one does so), then the Windows 11 and Office 2003 have other issues.Since Office 2003 is obsolete, it is time for MS to quit requiring updates for it as it is no longer supported. Better time spent on User requests vic Continue reading...

Hi all,So i‘ve read about my issue a few times but nothing can’t seem to fix it.I upgraded some PC components (CPU and GPU), everything seems to be fine on the hardware side.When I get to boot windows i get stuck on the log in screen because it says “Something happened and your PIN is unavailable.

Hi recently my pc started experience massive lag spikes mid game. I thought it was in internet issue so I bought powerline adapters to fix it. This didn’t help. I launched rainbow six siege (although the problem persists in every game) because of the ping and fps counters. I noticed that I was actually experiencing massive fps drops mid game. I’ve updated all possible drivers known to man is there any other way to fix this issue? I have an rx 6600 xt and an i3 12100f. Continue reading...
