Being an I.D.10T
Well, I was being an I.D.10T the other day and created a problem that led me to create other problems, when I realized that this was really a case where Occam's Razor should apply. So after I realized that, and that the P.I.C.N.I.C., I took a break, cursed Microsoft and felt a whole lot better. Oh , Ok. the problem! I was trying to readjust my Microsoft Launcher for Android, when I noticed that things were not where they were supposed to be, and the setting were all out of whack. This was after an update. (Refer to the start of this article please) After a while I put on the Deep sea diving apparatus and dove in, only to find, that only did I have my original MS Launcher Beta, but now I also had the MS Launch Preview from the Store, and they were not playing like good neighbors should! All I could do at that point was to sit back, question how that could happen, shake my head, and call myself every stupid name I could think of, and yea, some of those would surely get me booted from this site! Lesson learned. Aren't I the one that tells everyone to read before installing, and follow closely? Yeppers, that would be your truly.... If we can't laugh at ourselves every once in a while, then what's the point.... Have a fun and safe day all. Remember read and follow the directions carefully before installing any software and or update! And now on to take my hypertension medication! - Go figure.....

Should I post the Microsoft Edge Dev change log every week?
Share your opinion! In the meantime, here's today's one: Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 89.0.723.0 to the Dev channel. As you can see, this is our first build for version 89, and here’s everything exciting it’s got: Added features: Added the ability to run an on-demand scan for leaked passwords from the Passwords Settings page. Added a website permission to Cookies and Site Data for pre-loading websites. Added an option to have downloaded PDFs open in the default PDF reader instead of Edge. Added keyboard shortcut information to the Share, Copy, and Paste Settings page. Enabled work from Chromium to reduce battery usage by background tabs. Enabled support for management policies from Chromium for Printing Allowed Background Graphics Modes and Printing Background Graphics Default. Improved reliability: Fixed an issue where Edge doesn’t start and instead gives an error that the “side by side configuration is invalid”. Fixed a crash on launch on Linux. Fixed a crash on shutdown when the browser is closed quickly after creating a new tab. Fixed a crash during shutdown. Fixed a crash when using vertical tabs. Fixed an issue where re-opening an IE mode tab that was previously closed sometimes crashes the browser. Changed behavior: Fixed an issue where there’s an invisible or un-selectable tab in the tab strip. Fixed an issue where the … menu’s icon direction is vertical instead of horizontal. Fixed an issue where middle-clicking on a folder in the Favorites menu doesn’t open all its content in new tabs. Fixed an issue where clicking on the Favorites menu or History menu button when the menu is open doesn’t close the menu. Fixed an issue where certain website permissions in Settings are blank. Fixed an issue where the button in Settings to manage printers doesn’t work. Fixed an issue where autofill sometimes suggests older or out-of-date passwords for websites.

Skype
Hello Windows Community, Does anyone know if Skype is going to be phased out in the near future? I know at my job, we use both Skype and Teams for messaging and team communication. We have been told that we will most likely be migrating to only use Teams.
Urging a Good Habit
It is true Win10 has heaps built-in to keep it in good condition, but there's a wee bit of TLC the End User can offer, as well. Often things are reactive, but for this, one is not waiting until there IS an obvious or even suspected issue. Often things are suggested to be done say, just before a new H. Well, let's not focus on an upcoming event or a problem after-the-fact. For this there need be nothing (already) wrong. These can be for any time, for the hell of it, for sh!tts & giggles and in the name of prudence. Could make it a loose habit of wkly, bi-wkly or even (at least) monthly or when you think of it... quick, easy & no harm done 😁. > Windows Terminal as Admin. Type sfc /scannow, hit Enter and then next DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth, hit Enter Point is, can run these whenever, to casually check & make sure all is, always, in good order. NB: Get Windows Terminal from Store. Cheers, Drew
Anyone think Debloater software/PSS are terrible nowadays?
(PSS=Powershell Scripts) It's like a new virus that is self inflicted. Why does this worry me? Because the introduction of Powershell code commands really annoy me. There is two problems with this, debloater software removes the "suggested" bloatware. This is alright, ONLY if it is explained on which is removed, however they remove things like the Microsoft Store which updates apps across the board for performance and stability. The second issue is the introduction of scripts for "debloating" I can understand to a extent that windows has somebloatware, but my biggest issue is that people don't just want to click 5-6 times to unistall all of the bloat. So they introduced scripts on powershell code. And this is where my problem begins, who unistalls groove music, microsoft store, photos, movies and tv and calls it bloatware? Does the consumer interpeted in the first place it was bloatware? My other reason for this is that, the common pc user is completely questionable, sometimes they are smart, and sometimes they can't even solve the simplest of problems.(For EX:Someone didn't know they could right click to uninstall a app, or this case, unpin a tile) So what's your take on it? Is it really worth the effort to ignore the possible issues? or is it just scepticism? Or is it super secret spyware 🐍🛢 (Why are some of the emojis unfinished on this site? one is from 1999, and the other is from 2015.) (Microsoft has made a good chunck of these apps unistallable, a debloater software is no-longer needed.)
Problema de acesso do GMail / Google
Há algo pior que esta pandemia de 2.020 ! Todos os dias o Gmail / Google me bloqueia informando que não reconhece o meu micro ! Tenho que tentar várias vezes ao dia , ou às vezes somente no dia seguinte, para conseguir acessá-lo ! Sempre tenho as últimas atualizações do Windows 10 e do Office 2.019. A minha esposa está em tratamento radiológico e, como não temos celular, preciso me comunicar com médicos e hospitais todos os dias, várias vezes ao dia e das últimas vezes ainda recebi a mensagem de "Bem vindo ao GMail pela 1ª vez ( novo dispositivo )" !!! Até o código de acesso por e-mail alternativo não é reconhecido ! O meu provedor de Internet ( Vivo ) muda o IP à cada conexão e não tenho controle sobre isso. O que estou fazendo de errado que o Google não reconhece um equipamento que uso, assim com os produtos da MS, há 10 anos ??? Já reportei ao suporte mas não obtive respostas ( a mesma coisa com o Google ) !
