Win. 10 20H2 - in place-upgrade bug (temporary workaround)
hi all: I started a conversation stating having an issue with the in place-upgrade while in Windows 10 20H2. Tried to fix an issue with it but cannot select the keep files, folders, etc. option. In the Microsoft community, I was given a link that this is a bug in Windows 10 20H2 and Microsoft will provide a fix for the bug in the December update Tuesday. Here is a temporary workaround to fix issues with your device but do not want to re-install Windows 10: 1) go to control panel 2) click on, Uninstall a program 3) click on View installed updates 4) right click on, Feature Update to Windows 10 20H2 via Enablement... (it will state: Uninstall. Let it run) 5) Windows is uninstalling Windows 10 20H2. After it is done, click on restart. You will be back to Windows 10 2004. You do an in place upgrade with the installation media. (if you have a USB with Windows 10 2004 or 20H2) I in place-upgrade with the 20H2 installation media. I am back at 20H2 and the issue I had is gone.

Problem logging in to one particular website
I login to my AWS account daily for my organization tasks and lately I am facing a weird behaviour. When I click on the link to open the Site, it auto logs in to my account and given an error. Initially I tried different browsers and the Incognito window but still gave the same error. Usually in incognito it is supposed to ask my Office credentials to login, but it would auto login and throw an error. I reached out to my IT support and they cleared the cache, cookies, temp files prefetch (a proper computer clean up) but I still got the error. We then tried to create a new windows profile and try there, but the issue remained the same. My AWS access is perfectly fine, as when I login to my colleague`s laptop, I am able to login and see my account. Now the advise I got from IT is to reinstall the OS which i really do not want! I would really appreciate if someone could suggest a fix to it! Thank You.

Virus protection
I had been hacked in the past; Xfinity provided Norton anti virus but, it discontinued that service. I wanted to use Windows Defender and Antivirus but without success, as I got a message saying "your organization provides antivirus". Is there a means to let Windows know that is no longer true, and get the anti virus protection?

Curious
Just curious: Why can't microsoft corporation (the maker of microsoft products) answer directly to its consumer questions related to its products? Especially when cosumer is haven problems with your Os, why do you have to refer to windows community for answer? In a layman thinking, you created, you made these products, you should know best.

Cortana - Beta
I just really wish Cortana would be like it was in Win 10, version 1909. I really hate Beta because it keeps telling me, "Sorry, I can't put your device to sleep." And it cracks very weak jokes.

Setting default action when connecting a USB drive
In my Windows 10 (latest update of Pro at home office), I am prompted each time I insert a USB flash memory drive about what to do. In the past, the selection dialog included a check box to set the selected action as default. There is none shown now. I can't find a way to set such an option.

Error Code: 0x8007007e
Last Saturday I did an update to Windows 10, Version 1909 on my Lenovo G500 laptop. After the update was completed I received the error message when attempting to print documents from the Mail app. I've done some research and found that Microsoft developed a patch to fix this problem. I downloaded KB4567512 for Version 1909 64bit, but the installer would not install. I received a message the this update did not apply to my device. I contacted the Assure Support group and the fellow checked the drivers for my two HP printers but could not fix the problem. He wanted me to install the Windows 10, version 1909 ISO, I said no thanks to that. I can print from Edge, Chrome, Gmail, Outlook.com, and from Office; but not from the Mail App. Can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance. Ken

see which apps are affecting your battery life
I have few things to ask. Under see which apps are affecting your battery life and under Windows Explorer, the percentage goes up even while not using it. It is still going up. How to get it to go down while not in use? The percentage for Edge will go down when not in use. Windows Explorer did go down 1% from 21% to 20% but went back up 1% to 21% (when Windows Explorer is not in use). So, what does that mean and what fixes are there?
