THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!! MS Tech Community doesn't work!!!
I couldn't post anything over there at the Microsoft Tech Community so I'm posting here. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!! I'm getting a weird message when I go to the website saying, "Your request is currently being processed." I didn't make a request!!! Is my computer hacked? Is anyone experiencing the same?
Microsoft screensaver changes when I don't want it to
So I get some nice scenery picture. I say I like it. 2-3 days later it's gone but I'm not tired of it. Can I somehow tell Microsoft to not change so fast? Or can I somehow say when I'm ready for an image to change? And why, when I've said "no, thanks" to pretty much every 'city' image, do they keep showing me downtown MegaTown shots?? Thanks for any advice or assistance!
URGENT ALERT RE HACKERS, VIRUSES, AND DANGEROUS THREATs
Today I received an urgent, very loud, alert from what appeared to be Microsoft, telling me the computer was in serious danger from hackers trying to gain access to my personal information. I was instructed not to turn my computer off or leave the page and was afraid to exit. I was also instructed to call the phone number provided immediately. I was not aware of any MS security threat scams and was quite worried. The technician I spoke to on the phone assured me he was a licensed MS technician and that since my computer had already been hacked, all my personal information was in jeopardy. This was a first for me and decided it would be best to trust his judgment. He accessed my computer and seemed to think 17 hackers were attempting to take over my computer and said my entire security system was locked, so I would not be able to proceed without removal of the threat and the addition of a network firewall and an IP protection. He took me to a web page for RIGHTPCEXPERTS.COM in Tampa, and gave the impression they are affiliated with Microsoft. Because I am age 69 he offered me a "discounted price" of 299.00 and I was left to believe it was imperative, as all my devices were in danger. I was then referred to a second agent who said he would be able to remedy the problems with my PC. HE REMOVED MY SYSTEM MECHANIC AND THEN installed an AD BLOCKER, CC CLEANER, ANTI-VIRUS HACKING. HE SEEMINGLY CLEANED MY COMPUTER AND THEN INSTALLED A NETWORK FIREWALL, AN IP NETWORK ACCESS PROTECTOR. After I PROVIDED my credit card number for the charge of 299.00 I was told there was an additional fee technical fee of $120, that would be paid in 12 installments of 9.99, for a total of 420.00. I was so reluctant but thought I had no other choice but to proceed. Like another gentleman who was concerned about the legitimacy of this company, I am left wondering if they are a scam. MY INVOICE READ AM PC SECURITY, NOT RIGHTPCEXPERTS OUT OF TAMPA AND NEXWAY HANDLED THE TRANSACTION.

need admin status to install printer driver?
I'm trying to install an HP ML-2510 printer driver. Win 10 is giving me a message asking if I want to allow this app to make changes to my device and to enter an admin user name and password. There is no space to enter it and I get the same message when I try to access User Account Control. I'm wondering why I need admin access to install a printer driver on a home computer? Is this an indication of a problem or does Win 10 actually require admin login for this? If admin login is required how do I give myself admin access without having admin access? There are no passwords set on the computer I just can't get to the screen.

windows phones
I cant understand why MS is not making windows phones. I got the first nokia 1520 back in late 2013-2014 and still have it. people ask me all the time were did you get that phone. and I tell them well I got it from my att store a long time ago and they say oh well. there a lot of people that want a phone that is not Ios or android. I think that MS made a BIG mistake not staying in the mobile market. by the way my phone was the first big phone on the market and when I first got it people said...so what are you going to do with that big phone. so sad that MS got out of the phone arena. yeah cloud is the way they want to go now but MS is more then that. aside that doing away with phones cost MS billions. so sad.
