Edge problem fix in High Contrast.
I use Windows 10 in the High Contrast, yellow on black theme almost exclusively. On certain apps this causes minor problems, e.g. my Excel spreadsheet didn't print out darkly enough. On a hunch, I switched back to the "normal" black on white theme and it printed out perfectly. When I'm using Edge in the HC theme, on certain websites, e.g. L.L.Bean, Edge abruptly shuts down when I try to enter data. This stops happeniong when I switch back to the "normal" theme. This does suggest that HC and Normal need to be better synchronized (?) I hope this proves helpful

Can we have a powerful finder for duplicated files
I wish windows had a native tool to find duplicated files - find duplicated or repeated files on: ---same directory ---different directory, including subfolders ---in different volumes, including pendrivers, externa hd, internal hd, network drivers, cloud drivers -Options what do when find repeated files - print and save results and export to csv - present all information about files: name, file size, size on disk, created, modified, last accessed - total space used in each volume - rename in one or more locations - keep and/or delete in one or more locations - move and/or copy to other locations
Straightforward declaration of email as not junk
I use Outlook on browser. When I declare an email received in junk folder as not junk it only applies to that particular email. When I receive another email from the same sender it is again put in my junk folder. If I permanently want to declare the sender as safe, I have to go to Setting > Other settings > Junk email > Safe senders and domains > Add. After taking this multitude of steps I can then declare the sender of its domain safe. I would prefer that this procedure would be more straightforward. That is when I declare the email in junk folder as safe I would be given an option to declare the sender of its domain as safe without need to do that via the settings. Best regards Anssi
Stolen tablet - now what
My Surface was stolen yesterday. I logged into Microsoft account and I can see the last location. The thief did not connect it to the internet after stealing it. And as they did not take the charger, it might take a while before they get their hands on a charger and power it on. Now, in the Microsoft account, you have to first Locate and only afterwards you can do the Lock option. This translated to: you have to spend the next days with your eyes glued on the Microsoft Account browser window, hitting refresh continuously, hoping in the 100 hours you will be monitoring non stop this window you will notice the 1-2 minutes your tablet will go online and you get to push the Find button and then the Lock button. I am thus wondering: how could a Microsoft engineer think of such a logic of a security system ? Why even bother to implement such an abomination of a 'security' feature !?
Settings Home Page
I installed the 2004 update on both my laptop & desktop (the same build on both) . The settings homepage on my laptop has a banner with things like my account, one drive etc. My desktop does not. Anyone else have this situation or know what is going on with this?
OneNote Suggestion on Immersive Reader
My son recently attended a Microsoft virtual camp, and he said, "Why can't Immersive Reader read a sentence with expression?" He asked me. Can Trini or other people who work @Microsoft please share this feedback to the OneNote dev team?

MS store bug in 20h1
I found a possible bug in the MS store for Windows 10 2004. I checked for updates, apps got updated. But when checking again, it updated again. Goes around in circles. Created a new user account twice but same issue. Can someone ask the team to check it out?
Improvement requests for sticky notes
1. Unfortunately I have no access to the sticky notes via the OneNote Android app (only on the tablet). 2. A labeling option (for follow-up) with a reminder and a link to ToDo (as with emails) would be great. 3. and a possibility to use the categories from Outlook would of course also be very desirable.
