After applying a Windows update today I am suddenly getting the weather/markets/traffic/on this day widgets on my lock screen. I want to turn these off. On-line instructions say to set the "lock screen status" option in settings/personalization/lock screen to none. I do not have this option. Continue reading...

My computer just did update KB5048652 (2024-12 Cumulative update for windows 10 version 22H2 for x64 based system) and when it restarted the left bottom corner of the home screen is black.

Hello!. When I try to restart/shutdown my laptop this error pops up. I looked for an answer but couldn't find anything relatable. I use "Windows 10 Pro 22H2". Sometimes it doesn't pop up and when it does it takes some time to restart/shutdown than it normally does. Also when this started to happen my laptop started to lag alot. My Laptop Specs, Intel® Core i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz 1.50 GHz 8GB Ram Intel Iris Plus Graphics Nvidia Mx330*OS installed on a SSD Continue reading...

Hi,Very recently my computer had issue starting, it would keep the VGA light on on the motherboard, and just show a black screen after the white underscore.After a lot of forced boot, it can finally boot normally and works normally. But if I restart it's the same roulette for boot.I had an issue where I kept seeing empty USB drives appearing and disappearing in "This PC".With an USB event log viewer I managed to find that it looked like it was my printer, so I disconnected and reconnected it's USB, and that behaviour seemed to have stopped, althought I didn't restart yet for obvious reasons.My Continue reading...

But once I unplug and use the laptop on its own, the copy-and-paste etc. keyboard short cuts don't work anymore. I tried to update the keyboard's driver and the issue persists. Continue reading...

Hi, I am asking if there is a way that I can prevent any sudden unnecessary changes which occur without warning or consent on my Windows device?Today, my Windows 10 Lock Screen suddenly featured the 'weather and more' setting, although I do not remember consenting to this being added. I find sudden changes unnecessarily stressful and disruptive, so I would like to know why it occurred and how I can prevent it (if possible). If not possible, is there somewhere that I can provide feedback to Microsoft about such unnecessary changes which can be unnecessarily disruptive? If there was an option to Continue reading...

Dear Support,I have created windows application using WPF and deployed in a server location using Click-Once. It was properly digital signed and it was used by every one in the organization. But, in recent time, we are getting the Unknown publisher security warning and Publisher can't be verified whenever published the new version and update to the latest version by the user. I checked signed digital key and confirmed that it was not expired. We didn't changed any configuration settings. In recent time only, we are getting this warning issue. I suspect, this could be related to Microsoft recen Continue reading...

We run several applications on servers that the users access through a RemoteApp link on their desktop. These are not full RDP sessions; the user just gets the application in a window on their desktop. When the application pops up a window off-screen, the user can't see it or use the usual tools (Alt-Space, Win+arrow keys) to move it back into position. I can replicate this by opening a RemoteApp session, selecting an option that would pop up a new window and then minimizing that window. The current fix is to notify our help desk and have someone kill the user's session from the server.My firs Continue reading...
