Microphone in Teams
Has anyone else suddenly had their microphone stop working in teams on their laptop? It works when in anything else, just no-one can hear me in Team calls. All the settings are set to allow access, and nothing's changed from when i used it the day before. I've looked at the support pages but have already tried any suggestions there. thanks, Susan
Third party involvement..
I've always liked windows in the past. I just now started using computers again for work after around twenty years. It is taking time to get used to windows with micrososft. It seems that it is to obvious that a third party is in my computer. Compared to setting up my Mac Notebook, windows has been a complete headache in many ways. Is there a way to use windows 10 without it being obvious that a third party is working with windows? Also it seems not to link to google properly, I had to download chrome just to be able to keep working, I would like to use windows again.
Storage Space problem (One Drive)
So, I was wondering why I only had 162 GB free on my 500 GB SSD when I've only had my laptop for 2 months. I looked in Settings, and it says that over 95 GB of space are being used by OneDrive, and I was wondering if there is a way I could clear those files without hurting the files on my laptop.
in place upgrade vs. reinstall
Sometimes, our devices may run into issues that doing the sfc /scannow command or creating a new user account, etc. will not fix the issues. Here are two popular methods to fix problems. 1) in place upgrade: What is an in place upgrade? It is basically reinstalling Windows while we get to keep our files, folders, settings, etc. It basically gives us a fresh couple of the Windows system files. Meaning, we might do the sfc /scannow command and it found corrupt system files that cannot be repaired. The in place upgrade will give us fresh system files. pros: We do not lose any files, folders, settings, etc. when choosing the in place upgrade. cons: When choosing this method, it will take a while to complete. It requires several restart of the device. If the device has a good CPU, etc., then it will be a little quicker but will still take time to complete. p.s. After the in place upgrade is finished, we might have to update few drivers again. Usually, the in place upgrade will revert the newer drivers to the previous ones. Remember, it will create Windows.old. That will take a lot of space. The best way is to go to storage under settings and Storage Sense to delete Windows.old. You can free up over 10GB of temporary files and can regain some C drive disk space. 2) reinstalling Windows 10: What this does is basically reinstalling Windows 10 again. Giving us a fresh start. pros: This method is usually quicker than the in place upgrade. cons: The cons of choosing this method is it wipes out everything. p.s. When choosing this method, I generally only wipe out the C drive but do not wipe out the D drive. If you want to choose this command, I suggest you to copy everything in the desktop or if you have put files, folders, etc. in the C drive to a portable drive. Also, download the bookmark from Edge, Chrome, etc. and save it to a portable drive. It is because after reinstallation of Windows 10, they will be gone.

Are there any features you wish Windows had?
One thing I saw someone had in another OS was that their file explorer equivalent had tabs. My jaw was floored.
printing errors
I continuously get print error 0x00000bbb when trying to print any file from my Dell laptop. This happens on both an Epson and HP printer. The printers always test positive so the error is caused by Window 10 and I suspect one or more Windows Update are to blame.
Updates
How do I change updates from wait 7 days? I changed the setting numerous times and it keeps going back to wait 7 days. Thank you
I can't add any Androids Bluetooth device to play games.
Hello, I can't find any android phones Bluetooth in the add a device option. Even I can't find the setting of my PC's Bluetooth. I need to know whether my PC's Bluetooth is discover-able or not to the other devices. Anyways, my problem is I can't find any Bluetooth device in my PC. It's not showing any device name, though my androids Bluetooth is already on and connectable to other PC. How can I connect to my androids Bluetooth to this PC?
