I have a Hotmail and a Gmail address. For the last year I have been getting an email from my Hotmail address to my Hotmail address saying it appears we do not have permission to get email from my Gmail account. I do get Gmail messages in my Hotmail account. I have tried taking Gmail off the account and tried to set it up again to no avail.
I can't login after waking desktop from sleep mode
I can login with my pin when I press the power button to start the day. When brand-new Lenovo desktop (1903 build) goes to sleep and I try to wake it, the login screen appears as it normally does, but the login box will not take my pin, even though the cursor blinks. If I restart the PC, I can login as normal. Please do not advise to disable login upon waking as this will not work for me. This is extraordinarily frustrating. Thanks for any help.......

Bluetooth discoverable
I have a BOSE NC 700 headphone, with Bluetooth. It used to work well with WIN 10. Not sure what happened after several WIN updates. Now the the headset Bluetooth pairs but when I click to Connect, it gives a msg that it is not "discoverable". I have tried so many options, per many suggestions, including "remove" and re-pair again. Turn off Bluetooth then turn on. Tried uninstalling Bluetooth, restart then try again and again same msg. Uninstall and reinstall Bluetooth Enumerator, same results. Remove/uninstall Bluetooth Device, restart the PC, again tried to reconnect, same msg that my headset is Not discoverable. I and at a loss!!!! I have tried numerous ways to make the BOSE headset discoverable, still same issue that it is NOT discoverable. The strange thing is that the same BOSE Headset pairs and connects to my iPhone XR, my iPad Pro, my Mini Apple and my other iPad, but NOT with this WIN 10. So I assume the issue is NOT with the Headset, but rather with my WIN 10. Can someone help? Keeping in mind that I have tried all the options listed above. Need help! Appreciate any help, guidance or suggestions.
THIS forum times out or...
The forum pages often do not load well or successfully; either the main or especially open a specific posting. Gives "not working right now" or "timed out". Sometimes, if go back to main, refresh & try again, wil open fine, not always. Usually, I don't wait for the fail, justquit waiting for it to load, close & try again. Sometimes I just wait a few minutes & try again. Maybe most of the time this doesn't occur. But sure a nuisance when it does❗ Btw, ALL other sites & pages are fine, it's exclusively this forum doing it Cheers, Drew
