Pin
Yes! How do I know what my pin is when I sat up windows actually I don't remember setting one up. And when I had a camera I set up a face to log in. And that picture is still being the log in but since the new update to 2004 the picture is to big I can't click some parts of it to log in so I hit forgot pin then I get a box for a code then I hit cancel and windows lets me in. But this is very frustrating how can I just go back to logging in by a password and that picture goes away or don't use nothing and just log in?

version 2004 installed but need 1909 for MSFS 2020.
My grandson built me a new PC in June, it has Windows 10 2004. After downloading MSFS 2020 Premium De Luxe and enjoying it for a week or so, many aircraft disappeared. My 'logbook' lost all flights in the missing machines too. Inquiries revealed I need Win 10 version 1909 and should delete all updates back to it. I have never had 1909, how can I install it over version 2004?
Microsoft saw I was eating my homework! and Thanks!
I was rearranging some file and in doing so lost track of what I was trying to accomplish, and inadvertently screwed up the placement of some very important spreadsheets. In order to get things back on an even keel, it became necessary to delete a lot of duplicates, so that's what I did. Everything went fine, and all is well. At the end of all of this, I got a message and an email from Microsoft " Heads up! We noticed that you recently deleted a large number of files from your OneDrive" and that if I had made a mistake I had 30 days to restore them through the OneDrive Recycle Bin. Normally I would say keep your nose out of my business, but in this case, I'm sort of glad someone had my back, 'cause these files really are irreplaceable and besides can Microsoft really read them? Thanks for the message Microsoft!
Lock/Login screen - select account / set default account
On the first screen (well, after I entered my Bitlocker PIN ;-)) the account I use most is listed last in the left hand corner, and not the default account. I always have to select it using the mouse (or touch). I would like to use my keyboard (e.g. up/down arrows) to select the account I want to sign in with. Also, I would like to have the most or last used account selected by default (or have a way to configure it somewhere in the settings). The device I use is my personal laptop, it is just that I have multiple accounts on it for different purposes.
Cannot Recommend This Strongly Enough...
I have used this, given it to clients & highly recommended it to everyone since the early days of Windows 7. There are not words for the enthusiasm with which I recommend this... I suggest using it with either List or Medium Icons View. (TIP) Keep it minimised on the taskbar, don't close (X) it. How to: Win+X+R, type shell:AppsFolder, hit Enter or OK. Cheers, Drew
Microsoft Edge - safe and convenient
Microsoft built Edge with the first Windows 10. Jan. 15th of 2020, the new Edge, chromium Edge was born. Microsoft made it more convenient and user friendly. I feel protected and safe while online. Easier to navigate. If you have not used it yet, give it a try. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge?form=MY01BL&OCID=MY01BL
Project to your PC screen
Windows 10 comes with yet another great feature. You can project another device to your PC screen. Though most devices are not designed to be projected to, it is possible. With this feature, instead of just projecting to your PC, you can also control the device from your PC. I find this best helpful when you would like to monitor someone else's PC, like a minor. Unlike Remote desktop, the device does not need to be connected to the same network as your PC. Such like devices include Smartphones through Miracast and other PCs through Miracast or intel WiDi. All you need to do on your PC is click on the start menu or search and type 'connect'. The app will appear and open it. Before connecting, windows will open the 'projecting to this PC' setting and confirm if your PC is compatible with Project. if it is compatible, change the settings to your liking. Once done, Open the connect app and on your other device, if a PC, click Windows key + P and select connect to a wireless display. On the connect tab, yo will see your PC's name. Select it and follow any instructions required, and enjoy your connection. you can also access the connect tab through the action center.
Shoutout for Microsoft Teams 🤩
We are more than aware of the ongoing situations with CoVid19. ☹ Many people have been confined to their homes or, self isolating for their health protection. For those people who are confined (like a contributor to this platform) as an example, they are able to carry out their job responsibilities from home because many of us live in a connected world. This could not have been possible without the advancement of computer technologies to the level as they are today. Just imagine this kind of situation 20 years ago?! Having just been contacted by an individual who is working under these conditions, they expressed the opinion and I quote 'thank goodness I am able to do this'. My colleague is using Windows 10. So Microsoft please accept this person's thanks. Guys you are cosmic 😃 and so are the people using this platform, offering their help and advice to other contributors - co cool .
