Let's talk VPN's. Are they really necessary ?
Back when I was an active participant in the producing section of society, (I'm now retired). I used a VPN for connecting my laptop to many hotel/motel/restaurants' WIFI. This of course was in the days before tethering to my cell phone was allowed (cough, cough) and of course unlimited data plans. Today however there seems to be an abundance of free WIFI from stores, cable companies, and even some municipalities. What I've also noticed when I'm out and about is, that if there is a WIFI connection available, and I'm not connected to it, it will try and connect, there by almost stifling what I am trying to access. An example would be an Excel file. When that happens I simply shut the WIFI off, and go on about my business using my data plan. Given that tantalizing tidbit of information, and the fact that about the only place I consciously connect to WIFI is home, is a VPN in my case really necessary?
How to really get rid of One drive once and for all.
Every time I put a file on the desktop, it ends up in One drive and doesn't show on the desktop. I have uninstalled One drive and even deleted the One drive folder on my hard disk, but the files end up there anyway. There should be a simple way of using the desktop like in Windows 7 if you don't care at all for One drive. I tried every trick I could find on the web but I am still sruck with my files going to One drive. Any suggestions other than going back to Windows 7? Thanks for any idea. Mike.

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?
