Elementary question
Hi Community, Having been refused over a number of submissions to recover my Microsoft Primary Account, I am wondering if my email outlook.com may not be country specific for the UK user or should outlook.co.uk be right or both? Any answers for a Microsoft 10 beginner would be appreciated. I am a past user of 7 and then 8.1 but 10, I just find rather user unfriendly for an old codger of 74. Regards, Les.

Should I post the Microsoft Edge Dev change log every week?
Share your opinion! In the meantime, here's today's one: Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 89.0.723.0 to the Dev channel.

Installing 365 for business on my home PC

Shared resources accessing problem in Window 10.
Hi there, Couple of days ago I signed with my Microsoft account in my pc running with Windows 10 Enterprise. Before that I was using the same pc with local account. The time I had begun using the pc with my Microsoft account I cannot access the shared resources in my LAN. Whenever I tried to access the resources it was asking for the credential & after entering the correct credential it shows that the name or the password incorrect. I tried to change the sharing options couple of times but it didn't work. Can I get help from anybody here on this matter.

Requesting Update in Outlook
I have Office 365 and have Outlook set up for my mail. I also have my mail accounts on my phone so I can see what's in my accounts. I prefer to deal with my mail using Outlook on my computer. The problem occurs when I get a notification on my phone that mail has come in, but my computer hasn't updated my accounts yet. I have to wait for my computer to decide to update my accounts before I can answer the mail I can see on my phone. I previously had Outlook on my computer and had a button to tell Outlook to check my accounts. Does that button exist somewhere in Outlook for Office 365?

Do you use Two Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA)
Many websites are now offering 2FA protection. Some sites make you use it. When it's offered, do you enable it? I have been adding 2FA to all my accounts ever since someone tried to hack my Amazon account. That was scary. I have credit cards and other personal info store with Amazon and if they had gotten in they would have had it all. With Two Factor enabled, someone would have to hack my password AND be holding my mobile phone, to be able to use the 2FA app and get the code to log in. That makes it almost impossible for anyone unwanted to get into my accounts. I've also been enabling the feature that notifies me by email if someone tries but fails to get in.

Bing Rewards- Amazon and Paypal gift cards
I've had a account on Bing rewards for along time and I haven't seen an Amazon gift card but now I also don't see Paypal. those were the main reason I had an account and when I contacted them the first time they said its because of the region I live in. But my sister who lives in the same house as me has both an Amazon and Paypal gift card available. So I complained again and they said basically, some account get it others don't and its random. :/ please let me know if there is anything i can do :(
