Disappearing weather widget
Hi, had the quality update that gave me the weather widget on my taskbar and which I liked as I've missed my weather widget from Windows 7. I had to reset my PC, and now I can't get it back. I've updated and all the build numbers match with my other PC which does have it and the feature experience pack, just no weather widget. Any ideas?
Blue/Green Screens 🤔 Part Two
Is there any way, I can apply a sound to a blue/green screen to alert me that of the situation. This would be so helpful to the visually impaired person. I have applied sound when I receive a notification - that is very useful. But I think error screens such blue/green warrants something special - like a sound of crashing musical symbols 🔊 🔔. Something that would immediately grab my attention. On December 28 2019, I experienced a serious interruption of my computer system when Windows was downloading an update. My computer ceased to work and I was unaware of the problem. Being unable to see the screen I inadvertently clicked on an error message which necessitated my having to contact Microsoft that day. I was so fortunate that the engineer on the other end of my link was helpful and very sensitive to my situation. 😊 I ask fellow contributors to take my posting as a serious request for help. The green screen oopsie the other day, heightened my concern. Many thanks and keep well.
Utterances on Updates
Trying to be alliterative, not sure I succeeded 🥴 Thought I'd bore you for a while about Updates (From an almost quote by Jimi Hendrix). ALWAYS stay absolutely current❗ Meaning withOUT delays❗ I will talk about what is/was and what will be. Windows tries to restart your PC as infrequently as possible. Win10 has Saas or WaaS (Software as a Service, Windows as a Service), which refers to its FREE auto-updating. * There are 2 FEATURE updates annually or the bi-annuals, one in the Spring (H1) & one in the Fall (H2). Normally, one is Minor & one is Major. * There are Monthly Updates (2nd Tues). These are 90% security, 10% functional, so to speak. They are cumulative, meaning what IS + what's new. So, you don't have to go back & pick up anything from the past. They require a Restart. Ergo, besides the bi-annuals Windows is restarting your machine once a month. * Restarts can be set by the End User to happen outside of "Active Hours" 👌, now, that said... things have changed/are changing/will change. Some may have, already, noticed things are quicker, taking less time. A while back the methodology used for update delivery changed. The bi-annuals are much smaller & lighter & will become even more so. Updating is somewhat re-organised & more efficient: 1. Store is now handling most apps or will be & more than it did 2. Hs are being delivered in the same way as monthlies, now. 3. Some of the burden of the bi-annuals will greatly lessened in the near future. The OS will receive Feature stuff as soon as it is ready, instead of waiting for an H. This will happen via Windows Feature Experience Pack. You can see this, now in System > About, but it's not doing too much yet. Most of the above is, already, happening. Much is part of 21H2. 21H2 is heaps more than what will be visual & tangible, more than the cosmetics. Heaps of under-the-covers stuff with 21H2, as well as the superficial or visually obvious. This all improves the User Experience greatly. Cheers, Drew

Camera problem
I'm just sharing my experience. Hoping your suggestion to correct or improve the steps based on your experience, so I can learn much from this community for the step / tips/ trick that I don't know. Usually this happened on built-in camera. I will take the following steps and stop the next steps if problem has solved: 1) Sign out from current account -> restart -> sign in with administrator account. 2) Update BIOS, then camera driver, then camera firmware if suggested and/or available from laptop manufacturer. 3) Update Win 10 to the latest version including all pending updates -> restart computer. 4) Troubleshoot Windows Store Apps. Find it by typing "troubleshoot" in windows search. 5) Check the camera privacy setting, whether it's blocked. Find it by typing "privacy settings" in search. 6) Reset Camera app. Find it by typing "apps & features" in search -> Advanced options -> Reset. 7) Check camera device compatibility in Device Manager -> right-click camera device -> Property -> Driver -> click Driver Details. If there is stream.sys in the list, then I will suggest my client to replace the camera device with a new one or use external camera. If not, it might be compatible with win 10. 8) Edit windows registry. Sometime can fix the problem. WARNING : please readers DO NOT do this if not familiar. Do it with your own risk. 8.a. Backup and save current registry setting. 8.b. Edit registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> WOW6432Node -> Microsoft -> Windows Media Foundation. On the right pane of the Registry Editor of Windows Media Foundation, create the new DWORD (32-bit) Value -> enter EnableFrameServerMode (without space) as the title for the new DWORD -> double-click EnableFrameServerMode -> Input 0 (zero) for Value data -> OK -> Restart. If any things is missing or there is any other tips that I don't know, please let me know.

Games (world of tanks...) switch to desktop
In the middle of a game Windows 10 switches to desktop. I have to alt-tab to get back to my game. All notifications are off. Sometimes when that happens I briefly see the weather app icon flash once on the start bar. So I uninstalled weather and news apps (the ones that come with windows 10) = still happens. Any idea? Thanks
