windows 11 Account email has been disabled
by Guest Ms. SM- 0 replies
- 5 views
Hello,I had setup my laptop last year with my business email account. However, the domain provider has disabled the domain as they no longer support domain hosting. Now, I cannot get an authentication to my email. So, I decided to go with a new host. But, I cannot get into my laptop as the pin at login is tied to the Microsoft Account for the business email account, which, cannot get email anymore. How do I get around this without blowing all my saved files on my laptop. Continue reading...

windows 11 Phone Link Notification Banners Not Showing
by Guest Tom Ferramosca- 0 replies
- 5 views
I've used Phone Link for ages, dating all the way back to when I obtained my first computer; however, I have never encountered this problem before. You see, when I get notifications on my iPhone, I don't get any notification banners on my PC. When I go into the Phone Link app, it shows the notifications I got. Moreover, when I keep Phone Link open (on-my-taskbar open), it actually does display notification banners. When it's in my system tray, though, it does not. I removed and readded my phone countless times, and I repaired and reset Phone Link many times as well. Nothing seems to fix this i Continue reading...

Many people have been reporting for years that the paid MS DVDplayer app stopped working. I have searched high and low and support has not provided a correct answer. They keep assuming that it is a driver issue. It is not a driver or device issue, it is a MS software issue. How do people who paid for the DVDplayer app get it to work? It starts, and then immediately crashes. Continue reading...

Hi. When I started my computer today, it said “Automatic repair” as it was booting up, but then changed to “Diagnosing your PC”. I then get a blue screen saying “Automatic Repair could not repair your PC”. I have been working on this all day and have found my recovery key. However only the numbers on my keyboard or working, not letters. I tried and external keyboard with the same results. Under advanced repairs, I tried resetting but choose to keep personal files. Which takes me back to the “Reset this PC” screen, where I still can’t type the letters of my recovery key. The bottom of the page Continue reading...
