Echo
Amazon is telling me I don't have security or firewall protection in order to use/connect with my Echo. Everything was fine until I canceled Amazon Prime. Now Echo/Alexa tells me "Can't connect" I spoke with DELL, and they told me the security that was pre installed on my desktop was all the security I needed and didn't need to "PURCHASE" more which is what Amazon was telling me I had to do.. After I canceled Amazon Prime, I installed just Amazon because Echo told me I had to have an Amazon acc't to use Echo. but not Prime. So now I'm faced with not being able to use Echo/Alexa ( that's what Amazon is telling me anyway ) I'm not in a position right now financially to purchase another security because of Covid, and my Windows Security seems to be doing a good job ! Can anyone help ??? Thank you, Rick
Is it possible to install Amazon App Store on HP Elite X3?

Do you use the normal start menu or the full screen start?
There are many customisable options in Windows 10, and, one of the best is, you could change the look of your start menu. I use it in full screen, and do turn it on, go to settings>personalisation>start>use start full screen. Now, when you hit or click the Windows icon, you would notice that the Start Menu would pop up in a 'full screen' view, which gives it somewhat a look like Chrome operating system (really?) It isn't much, it's worth trying... Do you prefer the start menu being as it is? Or would you like to make it full screen?

7 into 10 "Do the math"
"Do the math" - again the expression meaning DUH, no kidding, obviously, oh but of course & way overdue. Finally make the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10❗ Hopefully you, already, have, since Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 over a year ago, which means devices running that OS no longer get important updates or security patches. Folks, please, accept that the days of Win7 & IE are absolutely over & done. Please grasp, having 7 connected to the Net is dangerous, very dangerous❗ Both to the End User AND potentially, to every other User on the Web. It is just as bad as if it were XP. Somebody the other day in another Tech Forum said, don't bother telling me to drop 7 or IE. Please, do NOT share such an attitude. Use 10 & Edge without any further delay, debate or discussion. You certainly will not regret it❗ 7 is completely, totally, vulnerable to attacks, hackers, malware & being a bot. There is nothing that can excuse or justify STILL running 7 (on the Net) or trying to use IE. Please, move forward... these old things are dead & dangerous❗ Cheers, Drew
I had a work PC configured, then Microsoft forced an update
Hi, I would like to ask a Microsoft Manager, (any department will do), how would you feel after you find that your working PC is not working anymore, while you have a customer in front of you waiting to start a recording session he paid for. I have a DAW, configured with 3 monitor and one professional Dante audio interface. I run a recording studio. My work is to record musician sessions in a dynamic way, following and inspiring artists to focus on creativity and music, not on technology. Today I had to cancel the session, a band that arrived from abroad, because the last Windows update left my system in a non operative status. I am working hard to recover the technical situation, but I think I have lost a customer. They asked me: why you do not use MAC? I decided to use Windows because I was curious to see if the belief that Mac OS is better for professional recording studio was correct. I gave Microsoft credit. But, this is the third time I have this problem. It is not acceptable. I will update (should I say upgrade) the systems to Mac, but as a short term solution I have to reconfigure the DAW. Do you know what I have to do to reconfigure my system and how long it will take me? I will tell you. Read the following log. 1. AMD Radeon HD 7770 Ghz Edition - driver gone - I had to reinstall - 40 minutes 2. wrong resolution on display n.2 (LG ultrawide HDMI) - 10 min. 3. three desktop - on the display n. 1 I have icons of the previous n. 2 / on display 2 there is nothing / on disp. 3 a mess - 20 min. 4. The color management is gone! I had to run Spider5Express on 3 monitors to recalibrate the colour - 1 hour and 30 minutes 5. Audio: reconfiguration I will continue later... but... Gentleman, my feeling now is that my DAW is not really mine! Microsoft have the control on my belonging. I pay for something that I have to disconnect physically from Internet otherwise I can not avoid updates? This is unacceptable and ridiculous.
The last update appears to kill my system.
Not complaining. I got it fixed by resetting pc back to default windows. Fresh install. The error was like cannot access boot drive. Just passing it along incase I'm not the only one.
Headphones not recognized
Was working fine. Then I put laptop to sleep and an hour later when I opened it again, the sound only comes out of the speakers. Things I've tried so far:- 1] Blow dust from the jack 2] Reinstall/update all audio drivers 3] Headphones confirmed working with other devices 4] Update windows 5] Checked that Windows Audio service is running 6] Troubleshooter did not identify the issue 7] Uninstall Realtek drivers(temporarily) 8] Am sure haven't spilled water in it When I opened sound settings in control panel, my headphones are not listed in there, disabled or not. Only the speakers show up under the Playback tab(even after unhiding the disabled devices). No amount of Check For Updates gave me any new drivers; apparently they are up-to-date.
