Sticky Notes Insights not working as web site shows
I love the new version of Sticky Notes and how it interfaces with all of my devices. I use it constantly! But I haven't been able to completely use Insights. Here's my notes from the FAQs for Sticky Notes. I am using a Surface Pro 4 (OS build 18363.1016) and Surface GO (OS build 19041.450) and Sticky Notes 3.7.142.0 Does anyone have a similar experience? Did you resolve it? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/sticky-notes-faq/b9018fdd-41ba-41c2-ba0f-5d2a45ab5ceb?LastReply=true#LastReply What insights are currently supported and how do I enable them in Sticky notes? A: Here are some tips for creating insights: WORKS Type a phone number with dashes to make a call with Skype. DOESN'T WORK Flights are best recognized with both the airline code and the flight number, such as BR26 DOESN'T WORK Stocks are recognized only when the ticker symbol is preceded with a dollar sign, such as $MSFT. DOESN'T WORK Cortana reminders can be created when times are recognized, like 6pm, today, tomorrow, Saturday, next week, July, etc. Once a time is recognized, click Add Reminder. Start a list of items with bullets, dashes, or numbers to have it formatted as a list, which you can then modify, move around, and change the order of list items. WORKS Type an email address to see the option for sending email. WORKS Type a web address (URL) to see the option to open it in a browser. WORKS Type in a full (physical) address to see it on a map. Q: Why are insights not working? How do I turn on insights? A: Insights are only available in the English (United States) Windows keyboard display language at this time, with more languages coming soon. This is found in Settings > Time & Language > Region & language > Languages > English (United States) Windows display language. I HAVE MY LANGUAGE SET TO ENGLISH AS REQUIRED. SINCE SOME OF THE INSIGHTS WORK THIS DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE PROBLEM BUT WANTED TO DO ALL TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE ASKING FOR INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY.

What is your best protection for your computer
This is the logic. Antivirus makers update their software. At that time the makers of virus, malware, spyware also improve their techniques. Like Tom & Jerry. We as ordinary users were among them without knowing who has stepped forward in their competition. The question is: Are you sure that an antivirus can protect your system 100% ??? For that reason, I'm just sharing my tips here: 1) Avoid porn sites (teasing the basic human instinct is a clever way to deploy a virus). 2) Avoid gambling sites. 3) Avoid downloading pirated software. 4) Avoid the site offering lure of gifts. 5) Turn on antivirus automatic update. 6) Only install trusted or widely-known software. 7) Only plug in external storage devices that you know where it come from. At least you can detect the culprit if your system get infected. Where it come from. 8) As much as possible, avoid connecting your computer to public networks. Use tethering to your own smartphone if necessary. 9) etc ..... and so on ..... please sharing your tips. Thank you! The chances of threat to computer system much depend on user. Narrowing its chances is the best protection if we can't block it 100%. That's just my opinion. Please sharing if you have another way.
The Search in taskbar of computer suddenly becomes unusable.
[Emergencies] The Search feature in the taskbar at the bottom of my computer suddenly becomes unusable. Hi, I'm a Microsoft Independent Community Advisor, responsible for technical support for Windows in Microsoft Community in China. Today, we received reports from dozens of users about the "search function in the taskbar is not working properly" issue. Users reported that it would not pop up any search results when they entered anything in the search box. We don't know if this issue only occurs in China, but we have submitted feedback through the FeedBack Hub app. I sincerely wish Microsoft this issue as soon as possible and thank you all the Microsoft engineers for their efforts! Best wishesοΌ Ling Gao - Microsoft Windows Insider, Microsoft Independent Community Advisor.
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.
Emojis πππ€©π
I like using emojis - not only in my personal emails and Skype messages. There are times when (regretfully) I have to decline a request or something of that nature. I find emojis can help to soften the message. I hope Windows will be able to expand the range - very good communication tool βπ―
Speaker Issues
I have used the MS Windows trouble shooter for speakers (numerous times). I believe after a software update my speakers have been garbled (not clear sounding). I usually run the trouble shooter (the problem with speakers comes back after shutting off the computer), normally the trouble shooter fixes the problem, but not always. I could not find any frequently asked questions that handle this situation or a permanent fix/correction for it.
Driver Reviver
Is driver Reviver a division of Microsoft?
Stolen tablet - now what
My Surface was stolen yesterday. I logged into Microsoft account and I can see the last location. The thief did not connect it to the internet after stealing it. And as they did not take the charger, it might take a while before they get their hands on a charger and power it on. Now, in the Microsoft account, you have to first Locate and only afterwards you can do the Lock option. This translated to: you have to spend the next days with your eyes glued on the Microsoft Account browser window, hitting refresh continuously, hoping in the 100 hours you will be monitoring non stop this window you will notice the 1-2 minutes your tablet will go online and you get to push the Find button and then the Lock button. I am thus wondering: how could a Microsoft engineer think of such a logic of a security system ? Why even bother to implement such an abomination of a 'security' feature !?
