I teach piano lessons using the Muzie.Live platform. I share my screen to play interactive music games using Google slides. Some slides work fine. The problem I have is when I try to play a game that has a game board which requires a marker to place on the board, and cards to flip so the student can answer questions. I can either move the marker or advance the cards, but I can't do both. These games are played in present mode. Is there a remedy for this?A couple of the games I try to use:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14hO2cIre8Rk5vQLgxJ8XfldgYL_qNWjMBmrkz731ODk/edit#slide=id.g318b574 Continue reading...

I have already restarted 4 times. Twice yesterday and twice this morning but it still says that I need to update it. I've tried running the Windows troubleshooter but it says everything is fine and there is no error message. I completely shut my laptop down, waited about 5 minutes, then turned it back on as well. When it was done restarting, I went back to my settings just to check and it's saying it needs to restart as if it never happened. Continue reading...

Today I was updating to the 24H2 Update, but I chose to stop it due to now hearing about issues others were having with it. The first part of it reached 100% and the second part of it reached 71% before I paused the update. Nothing will happen if I paused it, right? Continue reading...

Both my Desktop and Laptop are suffering the same problem when attempting to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. Operating system is Windows 11 24H2 with all updates applied to 11 December 2024 including KB5048667. After going through to the point where the troubleshooter runs, I get "I'm sorry. I was unable to run the Windows Update diagnostic. I might need to transfer you to an agent to help solve your problem." I've done all the obvious (sfc, DISM) and no problems were found. I'm thinking it must be a generic problem as it happens on both my Windows 11 machines. Continue reading...

I've been trying to resolve an issue across all web browsers in my W11 system: certain fonts are rendering as Edwardian Script, which isn't even a font that's presently on my system.

Windows chat help told me I could have both continuous automatic backup by OneDrive backup and local hard drive at the same time. is this true? The Longest time interval for automatic back-up of local hard drive is daily. I want it done weekly. I guess that means I can't have it done automatically and must do it manually. How do I do that?"No it won't. 😊Setting up a backup to your local hard drive won't interfere with your OneDrive backup. As we mention, OneDrive continuously syncs your files in real-time as changes occur. This process will run independently of any scheduled local hard drive Continue reading...

I had a licensed copy of Windows 7 ( I still do) which was upgraded by Microsoft to Windows 10 for free. I have a Mac and was running windows under Parallels. I have upgraded my Mac a couple of times with no issues. Recently, a few months ago I changed from Parallels to VMWare Fusion. VMWare transferred everything from Parallels with no issue. Now I constantly get a message on my Windows screen to Activate Windows. I have tried following Settings prompts to do this but just keeps running me around in circles. I could live with this as long as no issues develop down the road. Is it ok to ke Continue reading...
