Windows May 2020 update
Hey there, just got a little problem with Microsoft Edge. I'm unable to use the mic only with Google Translate. By any chance, can those working on the upcoming May 2020 Windows 10 update, work on this and add the solution to new update? My laptop's a HUAWEI Matebook D14, just to know.

Cortana
Prior to 2004, I used a Windows-based computer. I was unhappy with Windows because of constant "blue screens of death", hackers planting viruses, etc...When I became a truck driver in 2004, I mainly used a mobile phone and started using Google products. I like their products and they all work seamlessly with each other. Now, I am a full-time Care-Provider for my mother and just purchased a new computer with Windows 10 Pro installed. I decided to give Microsoft apps a try once again because I do like their products. On my PC there are no problems, but on my Android phone, I just can't seem to get Cortana to work hands-free, and with certain apps. I do understand that there is a war between Microsoft, Apple, Google and any other companies that are out there, but, the customer (that would be you and I) should be able to use whatever Assistant we choose to work with any apps that we like and use. Case in point: the Google Assistant comes on automatically when I say "OK Google" (hands-free), and I can set a timer, ask about the weather, play my favorite music in the Google Play app, etc....no problem....Today I downloaded Cortana to work with all my apps and I cannot even get it to turn on without tapping the microphone button. I made it my default app, turned on all the permissions, etc...and I am discouraged with Microsoft again. I haven't given up yet, but I had to switch back to the Google Assistant just so I can do the things I need to do hands-free, which comes with a cost of not being able to use some of the Microsoft apps unless done manually. I like Microsoft's To-Do List, but Google Assistant will only open Google's Task app. It just defeats the whole purpose of downloading all of Microsoft's apps if I can't use everything seamlessly. I use Amazon Music now, and neither Assistant will open it. I would really like to use whatever Assistant I choose with the default apps that I select. Now, am I doing something wrong or does this sound about right?

Does Windows 10 have a backward compatibility settings?
In older versions of Windows there were settings that you could use to allow older programs to run. Does Windows 10 have any setting I can use. I just purchased a Windows 10 computer to replace my Windows 8.1 computer and the new computer will not run Corel Photo Paint 12. Since it ran just fine on Windows 7,8 and 8.1 I feel it should run on 10 but probabbly just needs a tweak. Alternately can windows 7 be run in a Windows 10 window?

ISP Problem of Windows Update?
"website (www.microsoft.com) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts." This is the error detected by the troubleshooter. I cannot update my windows 10 whenever I connect to a certain WiFi network or ISP. I've tried ipconfig /renew and /release but it still doesn't work, and other recommendation here in this community but none of those work. Meanwhile I just updated my windows using my data connection. It is clear to me that the problem is not on my machine but it's either on my router or ISP. Do you have any recommendation aside from calling the ISP?

Windows 10 takes long time to show desktop screen
Hello All, I use winodws 10 licensed version will all the latest updates installed. I am facing a strange issue with my desktop. Fresh windows boots very fast. Gradually the boot times gets increased. Right now the issues is: Enter password screen appears within 30 seconds to 1 minutes. After entering the password it takes up to 10 min to show desktop. Mostly its a black screen and hard disk running all the time. After desktop screen, system works fine. There is no issue. Shutdown process is normal. Maximum time for shutdown is 1 min. as lots of applications running. Restart has the same issue as startup. For 5 to 10 min. it shows please wait, then boot from zero and again delay of password screen. I have tried all the things available on internet to repair. No 3rd party tool used. It is difficult to format system everymonth as sometimes data loss happnes. System Config. i5 - 2320 cpu @ 3GHz 64Bit windows 10 RAM: 4+4GB Display: NVIDIA 1GB. 1TB HDD + 120GB HDD I have tried with main HDD also. I removed all the BIG apps and tried. But there is no luck with the boot time. I request you to please suggest a solution. Cheers, Neraj

How to remove all threats on Windows.
In order to remove them use the "windows security full scanner" to find the threats you have on your divice. After you cannot see the scan button any more you will see a botton that say "start action". Above the botton you will see the threat on your divice. Then, click on all the threats on your divice. Make sure the black dot in the circle is next to the word remove. After, you are done, double check it or triple check. Then, click the botton "start action". Remember never chick "allow on divice".

Windows Security>Reputation based protection settings
I am unable to access the settings for 'reputation based protection'. This setting is managed by your administrator, is the only constant reminder that pops up whenever I click to check those settings. Earlier, I had even posted this problem in the community, but to no avail. Windows Security>App & Browser Control>Reputation based Protection Settings
